Anfang Juli 2024 übernachteten wir im Ferienhaus „Villa Almond“. Wir vier hatten einen fantastischen Urlaub in dem sehr geräumigen, komplett ausgestatteten Haus. Ich kann dieses Haus einer Familie mit 4 bis 6 Personen absolut empfehlen. Der Hausbesitzer ist sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich, aber dennoch diskret. Die authentischen, dickeren Wände halten das Haus an heißen Tagen kühl, aber die Schlafzimmer verfügen auch über eine Klimaanlage. Besonders auffällig war die Tatsache, dass das Haus absolut makellos und sehr gepflegt war. Durch die Ausrichtung von Haus, Garten und Schwimmbad haben Sie den ganzen Tag über Plätze mit Sonne, aber auch schattige Seiten. Darüber hinaus ist es aufgrund seiner Lage ideal für Ausflüge nach Rethymnon und in die Umgebung. Sehr empfehlenswert und volle 5 von 5 von unserer Familie!

Jeg elskede virkelig mit ophold på Almond Villa! Udsigten over de hvide bjerge fra verandaen var betagende hver morgen, Jeg satte pris på den traditionelle kretensiske følelse af villaen, det føltes som hjemme, Vi nød at lave mad i køkkenet og slappe af ved poolen, Ville bestemt komme tilbage til en anden ferie!

Die Mandelvilla war ein fantastischer Rückzugsort! Der private Pool war definitiv das Highlight unseres Aufenthalts, Wir verbrachten faule Nachmittage in der Sonne und genossen die atemberaubende Aussicht auf die Weißen Berge, Die Villa selbst ist wunderschön gestaltet und mit allem ausgestattet, was wir brauchten – von einer voll ausgestatteten Küche bis hin zu gemütlichen Wohnräumen, Das ruhige Dorf Prines ist charmant, und wir liebten es, die nahegelegenen Wanderwege zu erkunden, Eine perfekte Kombination aus Entspannung und Abenteuer!
