A great welcome from Poly, the owner, to help us relax and get into the holiday mood right from the beginning.
She was always on hand to help throughout our stay too. Thank you Poly!
You will definitely need a car, although it is only a short drive to all the villages and towns in the area for a nice taverna or aome shopping.
Numerous beaches - although our absolute favourite was Skinaria, about a 45 minute drive to the south - the journey alone is worth it through the mountains and gorge.
Polly is an amazing host she could not do enough for us to make our stay as memorable as possible.
When we arrived she was there to greet us with a smile and a bottle of wine which went down very well, the next morning she came to visit us and just to check that we had settled in okay she brought with her a home made lemon cake for my son which he joyed very much.
When we arrived and started looking round the Villa I was absolutely amazed as the pictures do not do it justice. The villa is much larger inside and out than you would think by looking at the photos, the Villa was immaculately clean and Polly even came during the week to change the beds and towels, the garden area and pool was cleaned every day.
I highly recommend this villa and Iâm looking forward to returning soon as a week just wasnât long enough Thank you so much for opening up your home to us we had an amazing time and look forward to seeing you soon.
My wife and I recently spent an incredible 5 days in Rethymno, and we couldnât be happier with our stay at this villa! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The villa is spacious, beautifully designed, and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The attention to detail was outstanding, and the high-quality finishes made it feel like a true home away from home.
The outdoor space was one of the highlightsâthe pool was crystal clear and very inviting (though if I had one small complaint, I would have loved it if the water were heated). The surrounding gardens added to the peaceful, relaxing vibe. We enjoyed leisurely breakfasts on the patio, soaking up the warmth of the morning sun preparing for our daily adventures (there is so much to do!).
Our host, Poly, was beyond fantastic. She was always available when we needed her, offering great recommendations for beaches and restaurants, while also respecting our privacy. You can really tell sheâs passionate about making her guests feel comfortable and ensuring everything runs smoothly. The ThinkVillas team, especially Valia, made the booking process easy and was quick to assist when needed.
If thereâs one thing we could change, itâs that our time here flew by too quickly! We left feeling refreshed and are already looking forward to returning. Highly recommend this villa to anyone seeking a peaceful and luxurious retreat!
We have just returned from a fabulous 10 days in Crete, we enjoyed every moment and couldn't have asked for more from the villa or from our host Poly. The villa is spacious, very well equipped and beautifully presented, everything is finished to a very high standard. The villa is set in pretty gardens, the pool is clean and inviting, the sun decks, the BBQ, the outside dining areas are all attractive and fully equipped, it is all absolutely lovely.
Poly our host was extremely helpful but also very discreet, we only saw her when we specifically needed to, but knew she was on hand when needed (only a couple of times for minor things)
Communication with the ThinkVillas team who manage the booking was easy and Valia was very helpful as well.
I have only one issue and that is the description "car-free holiday" this is not accurate. The villa is a 30-minute walk from the nearest shops and tavernas and the return journey is up hill all the way, it can be done but not easily, especially when carrying shopping. Rethymno is a ten-minute drive from Prines village, the idea that you could walk to the beach is entirely inaccurate. You absolutely DO NEED A CAR.
All said and done, Lavantes is wonderful.
Staying in Rethymnon at Levantes Luxury Villa was the best decision we took! The villa is breathtaking! Mrs Poly the owner is a talented interior designer and the villa is decorated with great taste and is provided with ultimate comfort. The villa is nice and sparkly clean and smells of fresh coton. Beds are very comfortable, pool clean and refreshing and the surroundings are peaceful and quiet. The house is fully equipped with more equipment than you can think of! From its location we found it easy to access principal amenities as well as main unmissable Crete attractions. Every little detail was thought of to make us feel like kings and queens. Upon our arrival, Mrs Poly greeted us with warmth and great hospitality. She provided us with well appreciated tips and cues and helped us organize some of our activities and was spot on. This villa played a great part in the unforgettable feeling of our trip and I canât stress enough how good a choice it was for us to stay there. It felt great to come home in this warm, beautiful and breathtaking villa after all of our outings. Crete is a dazzling and legendary place with heartwarming people and Levantes Luxury villa was no exception. We once again extend warm thanks to Mrs Poly for her exceptional hospitality and great generosity. This villa is no doubt your best choice in entire Crete! We would give it ten stars if it were possible.
