***********************************âšâš Location Overview - Discover North Rethymno
*TO SEE : Set close to the traditional village of Aggeliana, Villa Anna Maria enjoys a wonderfully convenient yet peaceful base in North Rethymno, where countryside calm meets easy access to the sea. Within just a short drive, youâll reach the sandy shores of Geropotamos, ideal for relaxed beach days and refreshing swims. A little further along the coast, the charming seaside village of Panormo invites leisurely strolls by the harbour and laid-back afternoons on its two beloved sandy beaches, Limanaki and Limniâboth shallow, sheltered and wonderfully family-friendly. For a change of pace, Rethymno Town is within comfortable reach for Venetian beauty, colourful alleyways, shopping and atmospheric dining by the old harbour.
*TO EXPLORE : The northern coastline of Rethymno is perfect for exploring at your own rhythmâbetween organised sandy beaches, coastal villages and scenic inland routes dotted with olive groves and timeless Cretan landscapes. Panormo also offers regular bus connections between Heraklion and Chania, making day trips feel effortless. Whether your days are shaped by beach-hopping, village wandering or discovering the islandâs cultural highlights, youâll always return to the villaâs calm countryside setting.
*Car rental is essential if you wish to explore beyond the immediate areaâvisit authentic villages, discover unique sandy beaches and uncover the hidden gems of Crete. We can gladly assist with arrangements.
Climate Resilience Fee
A âŹ15/night/villa tax (subject to change) isnât included in booking prices. It must be paid in euros at check-in to your Host.âš
Lovely modern villa, with fantastoc pool and pool area. Great views over the coast. Spacious rooms, very clean and well kitted out. Definitely need a car, which then gives you access to the coast, villages and restaurants. Family stay, including 2 toddlers and all thoroughly enjoyed it. Pool area and garden play area were great and pretty safe for the toddlers, though obviously had to keep an eye on them around the pool. Overall really pleased with the stay and would go back again
Sehr schöne, gerÀumige Villa mit wunderbaren Ausblick
Uns als Familie mit zwei Kindern hat diese Villa sehr zugesagt, sehr gerÀumig und ruhig gelegen.
Neben einem schönen Pool und Yakuzi bietet der Aussenbereich viel FlÀche zum Entspannen. Die Zimmer sind klimatisiert und sehr sauber.
Das Housekeeping war auch sehr gut, ein netter und sehr bemĂŒhter Kontakt obendrein.
An das GerĂ€usch der Zikaden in den OlivenbĂ€umen gewöhnt man sich binnen kĂŒrzester Zeit đ
Man muss 15-20 Minuten Autofahrt zu den nÀchsten SupermÀrkten einplanen.
Wir haben uns insgesamt hier sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt!
Kleiner Tipp: nur rund 10 Autominuten entfernt ist der wunderschöne Spilies Beach, das war unser absoluter Lieblingsstrand auf Kreta.
Spent a fantastic week at the villa. Lovely villa close to a lovely little fishing village with good choice of restaurants. Great accommodation and owners very helpful. Would love to return in the future.
We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Anna Maria is a very friendly host, allways caring for her guests.We hope to come back one day. The villa is outstanding. You canÂŽt wish for more.
The villa is superb, the outside space is magnificent and suitable for 6 people. Itâs clean and has everything you need. The local supermarket is only 5 minutes away in the car and beaches easy to get to. Itâs essential to have a car however as you cannot walk to any amenities easily. We had a fabulous holiday and loved Crete. The property manager is brilliant, very easy to contact and super helpful. Would definitely recommend this fab villa.
Sehr schöne Villa in ruhiger Umgebung mit Blick auf Meer und Berge
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in der Villa Angelina sehr genossen. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentur im Vorfeld war sehr hilfreich, jede Frage wurde innerhalb weniger Stunden freundlich beantwortet. Die Gastgeberin war ebenfalls sehr herzlich, der Check-In reibungslos. Die Villa ist sehr gemĂŒtlich gestaltet, vor allem der AuĂenbereich wunderbar zum Erholen! Die Umgebung ist sehr ruhig, man hat beste Aussicht auf sowohl das Mittelmeer und die Berge und erreicht in wenigen Minuten Fahrt sehr schöne StrĂ€nde und auch nach nicht allzu langer Fahrtzeit Rhethymno, Chania und Heraklion. Wir können die Villa wĂ€rmstens weiterempfehlen!
Tolle Villa auf dem Land, 10 Autominuten von Strand und Supermarket
Wir haben unser Aufenthalt genossen! Es war grossartig!! Wir waren immer draussen: Pool, Liegebett, Grill, Esstisch, Pingpongtisch, Schaukel, Rasen fĂŒr Fussball, Sitzgelegenheit am Schatten. Ana, die Vermieterin, ist sehr herzlich!
Kleiner Tip: Die Villa auf googlemaps suchen, dieser Wegbeschreibung folgen.
Die Villa ist genauso wie auf den Bildern - ein Traum. Wir hatten eine superschöne Zeit und den Pool geliebt. Wir können die Villa nur empfehlen und wĂŒrden auch nochmal dorthin reisen!
This was a lovely villa with a pool, jacuzzi and even table tennis table as well as a great view of the sea.
Very well equipped and delightful host Anna brought us her olive oil and eggs one day and we arrived to find some wine and food waiting for us.
The nearest beach and proper shops are 10 minutes away and you definitely need a car. Margarities about 6 miles away is worth a visit for pottery shops and to wander through.
Crete people welcome you everywhere and are very hospitable.
In kurzen WortenâŠTOP!
Alles da was in der Anzeige versprochen wurde. Die Lage, die Ruhe, die Betten, Weltklasse.
Klar, ohne Auto schwierig, aber das wusste man vorher. Rethymnon knapp 20km entfernt, bietet fiebersenkende SupermÀrkte und nen ewig langen Sandstrand. Bali, in Richtung Heraklion auch knapp 20km weg, wunderschöne StrÀnde und Abends tolle Tavernen zum guten Essen gehen. Panormos ist auch sehr zu empfehlen zum abendlichen Flanieren und hat drei schöne Tavernen mit Hafenblick.
Zum Schluss noch ein dickes Dankeschön an Anna Maria, das Ăl von ihr ist der Hammer.
Und natĂŒrlich die UnterstĂŒtzung,Tipps und die Reinigung.
Peter,Steffi,Lene,Gisela und Thomas
Very good communication from the managers and the owners. Anna the owner was very helpful throughout. The Villa and the grounds are very clean. Quite easy to find with Google Maps even at night. You will need a car as there is nothing within walking distance. Plenty of tavernas within 20 mins and supermarkets in Rethymno. Very quiet location with a good sea view and wonderful sunsets. The air conditioning is very good and the whole place was lovely to stay in. We would certainly go back.
Lovely Villa, stayed with 4 friends for a week
Hire a car, itâs essential as Villa is in a rural location and very peaceful. Nearest supermarket is about a 10 min drive.
Anna the owner is lovely, she brought us a big bottle of Olive oil which she produced herself from her trees. The. Sunsets are beautiful.
We all had an amazing time. Thank you Anna
Wir hatten 11 Tage die Villa mit ihrem tollen Aussenbereich, dem Pool und den Meerblick genossen. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Die Kommunikation war sehr einfach und problemlos bei An- und Abreise. Es wurde wÀhrend des Aufenthaltes noch 2 mal das gesamte Haus und die BÀder geputzt und die Betten frisch bezogen.
Ganz toll war es auch zu jeder Tageszeit drauĂen die Mahlzeiten einzunehmen.
Einfach super. Wir können die Villa zu 100% weiterempfehlen.
Unsere Kinder waren natĂŒrlich vom Pool mehr als begeistert.
