The villa has great WIFI at 23mbps inside and outside the villa and a barbeque.
Lovely house with a beautiful view and you will enjoy the pool too. Thanks to Lisa for her assistance and preparation for our vacation which was wonderful.
Directions to the villa were ok, but it would help if it was signposted like other villas, that would be a great help
Upon arrival, the bin was very dirty, we bleached it 3 times. My wife advised me not to view the toilet brush as it was disgusting. There were cobwebs around the TV which hadn't been cleaned for quite some time, also cobwebs in the cupboards. The garden was overgrown. I could not hang shirts in the wardrobe as there was a pile of damp bedding on top of the spare quilts that were in the wardrobe and I was not hanging shirts in there. The tray for the oven was filthy, rusty and looked as if it had seen better days......I will say the villa would be ideal if the cleaning / gardening team were not so comfortable with the arrangements with the owner and applied their trade in the right way
We had a very enjoyable stay, the villa was comfortable and clean. It is in an excellent location.

Lovely view
Lovely private pool. Great views. Very good communication with villa manager. No frills accommodation. Suited our family. Good location, far away to be tranquil but not too far from supermarkets etc.
Villa Francesca is not the easiest to find but the journey in rural Crete and up in very steep zig zag drive is well worth the effort! The villa benefits from full sunshine from early morning until sunset, outdoor dining is possible in multiple locations around the villa. The pool is of a good size and benefits from sunshine most of the day, the nearest shops and tavernas are a short drive of around two to three kilometres. Lidl and many more tavernas are located around four to five kilometres away, in summary this is a well located and appointed villa, perfect for a relaxing break in Crete.
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at Villa Francesca. Very pretty and private but still just 5 min drive to the local supermarket. The gardens and pool were lovely and the villa had everything we needed. The view from the roof over the hills to the sea was beautiful. Air con in the bedrooms was very effective which was great in order to get a good night's sleep as it's so hot in July and August! We enjoyed many nights on the veranda listening to the cicadas. Perfect for a couple who want to get away from it all, and don't mind driving to local amenities and up some very steep hills! We found some great restaurants nearby away from the hustle of tourist areas which were wonderfully traditional. Lisa was really responsive and checking in was easy and fuss free. It was like having our own little private home in Crete. Perfect place.
Gorgeous, peaceful villa with great views and secluded pool
We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at Villa Francesca and already canât wait to return.The villa is clean and spacious with welcome air-conditioning in the bedrooms and a lovely balcony with great views from the main bedroom. You can go up to the roof for even better views towards the sea and the mountains inland, while the covered terrace is a lovely, shady place to eat. The best part is the swimming pool area, which is totally private and feels quite luxurious â gorgeous. In July, we could barely hear any noise from other villas at all, as this one has quite a bit of its own space around it. The short track/road up to the villa is steep and twisty and we were a bit concerned about driving in our underpowered Fiat Panda, but we soon get the hang of it. We found it a great base to explore this part of the island, with plenty to do and a wide choice of restaurants within a short drive. Rethymno is great but we also enjoyed exploring some of the mountain villages and tavernas as the landscape is specatacular. We would highly recommend it.
