The villa is lovely, clean and spacious. The outdoor pool and the football pitch were very popular. Nikos, Barbara and Maria were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble - the breakfasts made it really special. Nikos was always available to help with booking taxis, restaurant recommendations etc.Unfortunately the hot tub was out of action, which was disappointing, and we were not able to use the indoor pool, but we everyone had a great holiday and would love to return.

Dreamcatcher Villa, AMAZING!!

Extended family of 13 staying for a week July 24 (Not Long Enough). Absolutely everything was as advertised and certainly exceeded expectations. Menios (Concierge) provided plentiful assistance leading upto our stay and ensured everything we required was provided in advance. Maria (Owner) has created a beautiful Home that caters brilliantly to Kids and big kids alike! Everything you could need to live for a short period as a celebrity was on hand! Thanks for sharing your home with us! A review of our stay would not be complete if we did not mention the breakfast provided each morning. We were extremely spoiled and Barbara went over and above to ensure we were catered for perfectly with home supplies duly provided as necessary. Already planning another booking in the future!! Until next time, Take care and thanks again!!

We (13 people) had a great week in your villa. The welcome is very warm. The villa is more beautiful than in the picture and the breakfast which was freshly cooked each morning was delicious. We would like to thank the whole team for their dedication (Meinos, Ely, Barbara, Maria). We recommend this villa for those who want to discover Crete. Your dream comes true.

Dreamcatcher truly is a dream!!

We recently spent two amazing weeks at this wonderful villa, and our visit could not have been more perfect! My husband and I, celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary, took our three daughters, their husbands, and our 6 grandchildren (14 of us, with the children ranging from 11 months to 11 years) on a dream trip to Crete, where my husband has his family roots. From start to finish, it was perfect! First of all, the villa was even better than the pictures! The location is perfect—close to the small town of Atsipopouli, where we used their market, larger Aldi-owned grocery store, and wonderful bakery daily—and to Rethymno, whose fortress and intriguing old town were fun to explore, and gave us plenty of shopping opportunities! And the villa is perfectly located for visiting many lovely beaches and their villages, Chania and it’s beautiful harbor, and for catching a ferry to Santorini. We all rented cars, and had a wonderful time just exploring the area and its friendly, welcoming people. The villa was a great space for even a group of our size— we all loved having our own bathroom, there were plenty of places to gather, and the outdoor spaces couldn’t have been better!! The patios and lovely lounge furniture and umbrellas for the much-needed shade, to the most perfect, large, and spotlessly clean pool—perfection!! We loved the large property, and even enjoyed the friendly neighborhood goats (a granddaughter excitedly told us ā€œfour goats watched us play ping-pong!ā€). Last, but far from least, Manos could not have done enough to make our stay memorable! He welcomed us at the villa with wine, raki, and a wonderful spread of Greek goodies, and our refrigerator was stocked with basics. He also took the time to fill us in, with a map and directions, on some of the not-to-be missed local attractions. The few minor glitches we encountered were dealt with swiftly; Manos’ goal was for us to have a care-free holiday! And we can’t say enough good about Eleni, whose sweet presence as she cleaned every day, and whose amazing breakfasts made our stay so comfortable and special! Her efforts to keep our coffee-happy group satisfied were appreciated!! Manos suggested Voyager rental cars to us, and they were so good to deal with—even coming to the villa to switch out a malfunctioning GPS system! And Menios, also suggested by Manos, made our Santorini arrangements faultlessly. Thanks, too, to Manos for the wonderful day at Baja Beach Club!

If only we could give it 6 stars instead of 5!

We rented Dreamcatcher with 2 other families (6 adults and 8 kids total) recently and could not have been more pleased with our decision. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer than 3 nights! First, the pictures are perfectly representative of the property. The pool is massive and there's ample room for the adults to lounge outside while the kids played. The little ones (4 and 2) loved the playground while the older kids appreciated the numerous amenities including the ping pong table. We especially appreciated the decision to fence in the playground so the little ones were protected from the pool. The villa itself is extremely well constructed with sufficient air conditioning for those warm Crete nights. The beds were very comfortable and the quality construction provided ample sound proofing so some adults could sleep in once the kids awoke. Whether it was the awesome bluetooth speaker for the pool, ample plates and cutlery or games for the kids, the owner, Manos and his team have thought of everything. Located less than 5 minutes from the water front restaurants, it's a perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. At night, swimming in the pool after dinner, we heard hardly a sound. What really set Dreamcatcher apart from other properties, though, was the phenomenal staff. During the booking process, Manos could not have been more responsive or accommodating. I doubt I waited more than a few hours for him to respond to my countless inquiries and he went above and beyond to address our needs. Upon arrival, Menios kindly greeted us and was the epitome of hospitality. Offering a detailed tour of the property (and ample Raki), Menios immediately made us feel at home. Menios was the definition of a "fixer" during our stay. He not only coordinated dinner reservations for us but also answered the basic questions like closest supermarket, ATM machine, best beaches, etc. In addition, he arranged private transportation for our Samaria Gorge hike (even checking on us part way through), private chef dinner (MUST DO) and was generally on call for anything we needed ("help! which ferry do we take?!"). All would benefit from having a Menios in our lives! Lastly, I must acknowledge the amazing Elini. Waking every morning to Elini's fresh squeezed orange juice, delicious breakfast, fresh bread, etc. was an absolute treat. We never left breakfast hungry and Elini wisely made dishes suitable to both adults and the children.

Beautiful, spacious villa right outside Rethymno!

My extended family and I loved our stay at the Dreamcatcher Villa! The house is gorgeous, very spacious and outfitted with everything you could wish for, including Netflix, tons of boardgames, books, a piano (!), and a little playground for the smallest among us. Manos and Eleni were amazing and took great care of us. The fridge was filled with basics when we arrived and raki, fresh fruit and Greek pastries were waiting for us on the table. The daily breakfast by Eleni was amazing! I can't wait to go back!!

Amazing house near Rethymno

Our extended family had a lovely week in the Dreamcatcher Villa. The house itself is beautifully designed, modern and plenty of space for the 9 of us. The location was good - on its own, so quiet, but a 3 min drive from a supermarket and bakery, 5 mins to the nearby village with nice tavernas and 15 mins into Rethymno, which we visited a lot as it's a beautiful old town with nice restaurants and shops. We went at the end of October and had bad weather, so the pool didn't get used, but it looked great, with loads of space to lounge around. Table tennis was great too. Menos was super helpful in checking in, and also with everything else we needed, and Helen came every day to make breakfast and clean up. Would definitely go back - would be lovely to spend a week there in good weather enjoying the pool and tranquility!

Excellent family stay

We are family of 2 adults & 3 children (9 months, 3 yrs & 5yrs) We stayed for a total of 21 days in July/August and were joined at various points by friends and relatives. The villa is large enough for everyone to have enough space and bathrooms each! Location- Very near to town, supermarkets and a bakery. Taxi into town only a few Euro's. Rooms - rooms are basic, clean & tidy with everything you need. 2 rooms are mezzanine offering an extra room above however, the above rooms are very very hot due to 1 aircon unit to service the up & down floor. Pool - The best one we have had so far in Greece. large, good depth and the baby pool was an extra bonus. The only thing I would recommend is pool shoes. The walk from the house to the pool is really hot! The pool filters are rather sharp and our children regularly complained of sore feet. Eleni - She looks after the cleaning and cooks the biggest & most creative breakfasts ever! Eleni really did make the whole stay fantastic and will make sure you never go hungry! Overall we had a great stay and any problems or queries we had were dealt with immediately.

Super Urlaub, die Villa ist ein Traum! Absolute Weiterempfehlung!

Wir waren vom 24.08. bis 06.09.2019 mit 10 Erwachsenen, 5 Kindern und 2 Babies in der Villa Dreamcatcher. Wir hatten einen wunderschƶnen Urlaub und kommen auf jeden Fall wieder! Bei der Anreise hat uns Manos herzlich empfangen. Kalte GetrƤnke, Snacks und Eis für die Kinder waren bereits vorbereitet. Er hat sich sehr lange Zeit genommen um uns in aller Ruhe das Haus zu zeigen und uns die Umgebung zu erklƤren. Welche StrƤnde für uns zu empfehlen sind, wo sich die besten Restaurants befinden, Einkaufsmƶglichkeiten etc. Die Villa ist absolut top ausgestattet, sehr ordentlich und gepflegt und auf dem neusten Stand. Die Bilder in der Beschreibung sind absolut authentisch. Das Haus hat eine sehr gute Lage, Einkaufsmƶglichkeiten sind mit dem Auto innerhalb von 2-3 Minuten zu erreichen. Sowohl erreicht man einheimische SupermƤrkte mit traditionellen Speisen, also auch MƤrkte wie ā€žLidlā€œ um die alltƤglichen Dinge einkaufen zu kƶnnen. Restaurants am Meer oder in der Stadt sind mit dem Auto ebenfalls innerhalb von 4-8 Minuten zu erreichen. Eine Taxifahrt kostet von hier um die 5-10€, falls man das Auto lieber am Hause stehen lassen mƶchte. StrƤnde gibt es jede Menge, der nƤchste Strand/Bucht ist ca. 5 Minuten entfernt. Aber es gibt eine große Auswahl - erst Recht wenn man bereit ist etwas lƤnger zu fahren. Ebenfalls sind gibt es verschiedene Beach Clubs - die Poolanlange und Strand verbinden. Gerade für Kinder ist das sehr schƶn. Da Haus ist ausgestattet mit insgesamt 5 Schlafzimmern, jeweils mit eigenem Badezimmer, was bei einer so großen Personenanzahl absolut praktisch ist. Insgesamt ist das Haus super ausgestattet. Von tƤglich frischen Handtüchern, Badetüchern,Sonnenschirmen (auch zur Mitnahme an den Strand), Fƶn, alle mƶglichen KüchengerƤte, Waschmaschinen, Bügeleisen etc. Wlan steht ebenfalls zur Verfügung. Ein ganz besonderes Highlight ist die liebe HaushƤlterin Eleni. Sie kommt außer Sonntags tƤglich und bereitet das Frühstück zu. Leckere Sandwiches, frische Croissants, süßes GebƤck und alles was das Herz begehrt. der frische Obstkorb wird auch aufgefüllt. Auf Wunsch macht sie Eierspeisen je nach Vorlieben, presst frischen Orangensaft etc. Nach dem Frühstück rƤumt sie alles wieder komplett auf und macht sich an das Haus. Alle Zimmer werden gereinigt, Betten frisch bezogen, Handtücher ausgetauscht. Ein super Service! Wir sind wirklich sehr sehr zufrieden mit der Auswahl dieses Hauses und werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

Pictures dont do it justice

To start id like to thank menios and alena for everything! We had a great stay in the villa! The check in process was easy and we were shown around the villa to which the pictures do not do the villa any justice! The villa is 10x times better in real life. We had a party of 8 and a baby and we had more than enough room to manoeuvre and not be in each others way, the rooms were situated great the only downfall was the aircon not reaching up to the top bunks in the double rooms! The views from the villa are breathtaking whilst not being far from local towns with it being a 5 minute drive. Menios helped us book most things including dinners and beach clubs and was first class he also helped set up hiring a car before we landed which the process was very quick and was ideal with the party size we had , whilst alena the maid/chef made sure we were all fed to the brim each morning and maintained the cleanliness of the villa each day to a high standard! Dont be afraid to ask in the morning at breakfast if you fancy something else also she catered to all the needs we asked. Id highly recommend this villa if your looking for a good family getaway!

Great Crete Getaway

We were a party of 4 families, including 8 kids ranging from 18 months to 9 years. The villa is perfect for all ages, we had a great week starting with a fabulous welcome by Manos. You defo need a car, and we visited many fantastic nearby beaches, all with Tavernas serving delicious food! There is a local supermarket, butchers and bakers (and ice cream / deli! Delicious) all a few mins drive where you will find all you need! Fresh fruit & veg / wine etc etc! It is worth visiting Rethymno old town for a stroll around the beautiful streets or a special meal out at Cavo or Prima Plora - both just 10min drive from the villa, overlooking the ocean with amazing food and service! A must! We loved our week at Dreamcatcher, and would thoroughly recommend to friends & family!

Entspannter Urlaub mit super Service

Wir sind mit drei Familie, insgesamt 14 Personen, im Oktober in der Villa Dreamcatcher gewesen und es hat alles gepasst. Die Villa ist genau wie beschrieben ausgestattet, alles was das Herz begehrt ist vorhanden und es ist sauber. Bei der Ankunft hat uns Menios erwartet und uns mit dem Haus vertraut gemacht. Ein kleiner Snack war vorbereitet und auch Getränke waren da. Er hat uns Vorschläge gemacht was wir unternehmen können oder wo wir essen gehen können und angeboten alles zu regeln. Als wir am zweiten Tag eine kleine Mückenplage hatten, wurde sofort etwas vorbei gebracht um Abhilfe zu schaffen. Das Highlight war allerdings der Frühstücksservice. Außer am Sonntag stand jeden Morgen ab 9.00 Uhr Frühstück auf dem Tisch.Die liebe Eleni hat jeden Morgen verschiedene Eierspeisen gezaubert und ist immer auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen. Sie hat sogar einen leckeren Schokoladenkuchen gebacken, als einer von und Geburtstag hatte. Alles wurde wieder abgewaschen und abgeräumt und danach noch das Haus geputzt. Dafür nochmal vielen Dank. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und die Stadt Rethymnon sind wirklich nicht weit weg, es ist aber ratsam einen Wagen am Haus zu haben, weil es ziemlich gebirgig ist. Wir haben einen Ausflug in die Samaria Schlucht gemacht, was sehr zu empfehlen ist, allerdings nur für Personen die körperlich fit sind und nicht für kleine Kinder. Das Haus ist also ohne Einschränkungen zu empfehlen für alle Alterklassen.

Lovely family get away

Our time at dream catcher was relaxing. The villa was as described with all the luxuries it had to offer. Waking up to the smell of the lovely breakfast provided by Eleni as well as her service around the villa everyday. Menios' provided a good welcome and Manos' you topped it with your impeccable knowledge of Crete and recommendations you gave. The villa was enough as we didn't have to go anywhere more to enjoy our stay. A big thank you for the Baja beach gift. My family and I had a lovely time and if we visit Crete again we definitely be coming back. Thank you Doyin Okunowo

Rien Ć  redire

Villa de qualité et service nickel. Ce n'est pas à cÓté de la mer ni près des belles plages mais ce n'était pas ce que nous recherchions. Endroit calme mais proche de Rethymno et de ses restos.

Villa is amazing!!!

The whole package at Dreamcatcher is unbeatable. The villa is great and is even better than the photos. Location was perfect for us to do a number of different trips away. Our group was four families with 15 people and everyone loved it and had just the right amount of space. The pool and play area was again perfect for families with kids of a number of different ages.

Unbelievable!!!!!

This house is fantastic!! From the open layout to the huge pool to its convenient location- the house has everything!! We were two families of 4 and we all had plenty of space. The house is quiet - we never heard any noise from the other people in our party nor was there any loud outside noise other than the chirping birds. The house is conveniently located to the old city - it is just a few minute drive away. Additionally there are great beaches and restaurants. Finally our stay was made memorable by Menios who was so accommodating and helpful - helped us secure an additional rental car and transport from Heraklion airport. Additionally, Eleni cooked the most amazing breakfast for us each day and kept the house spotless. We can say enough good things about this hous - it is even better than the pictures! Can’t wait for our next visit!!!!

Fantastic retreat for a relaxing, luxurious break

I was part of a group of 15 people that recently stayed at the Dreamcatcher villa- we were delighted with our stay and our choice of villa for the week long holiday. The accommodation is fantastic- we thought that the photos looked excellent prior to making the booking, but the villa was even better in person. The villa is located in a quiet village and is surrounded by private land and olive fields, offering a lot of privacy. The outside areas are excellent and great for social interactions- soaking up some sun around the pool, or having a BBQ. The pool and surrounding areas are a real sun trap and receive sun throughout the day, but there are plenty of umbrellas and balconies for those who prefer shade. Eleni was our maid and did a fantastic job of keeping everything tidy and making breakfast for us. The breakfast is wonderful- we hadn’t paid too much attention to it when booking the villa, but it was a real highlight and we never once managed to get through all of the food that was made for us! Manos met us when we arrived to show us round and to share some raki (strong local alcohol!) and breads and cheeses. This was a lovely touch and it was very useful being able to enquire about the best places to go in town. Rethymnon is a lovely town with lots of great places to eat and drink and is a short drive from the villa. You won’t run out of lovely authentic restaurants and bars to venture into. In summary, we had an excellent holiday and I would highly recommend the Dreamcatcher villa for families or groups of couples who want to have a luxurious and relaxing break in the sun.

Fabulous house and hosts

This house is spectacular! Beautifully decorated, fully stocked kitchen, and gorgeous yard for relaxing. It's located in a quiet area, a few minutes by car from the old town in Rethymnon. As far as location goes, we're very happy we chose this area. The town of Rethymnon is beautiful, but it's also most central for exploring the island, just an hour or so from both Chania and Heraklion. What really made our stay outstanding was the welcome we received from Manos.. food and drinks, and groceries for the family. Even special touches like ensuring we had equipment for our baby were thought of! Also very responsive during our stay, and helpful with travel tips. Thank you Manos and Maria for a fabulous stay in Crete. We hope to return!

Fantastic villa, Amazing host

Just Home from a lovely stay in the Dreamcatcher villa. Everything was perfect from start to finish! We were a party of 3 adults and 7 small children. From the moment we stepped off the plane in Crete there was transport awaiting us kindly organised by our very attentive host Manos. We then made the journey to our villa where Manos himself awaited us (even tho it was late in the night) with a local spread of food and drinks (really nice touch) Manos then showed us around the AMAZING VILLA as well as giving us some info on places to see and go whilst in Crete. Manos then left us to settle in.. (not before leaving us with some gifts-thanks again Manos the kids really enjoyed that day out and the mummy's enjoyed the wine. The villa was very beautiful and spacious with modern decor with touches of Greece added in too! We were left with local breads, fruit, crisps etc as well as a stocked fridge including beers and local Raki. There was nothing that the villa didn't have. It was well equipped and even catered for the small babies having a play pen, bouncer seat, cot and even the cutest little night light. (I would suggest maybe adding in a high chair tho) The pool side was lovely and had the added bonus of a kids pool and play area. Our kids didn't want to leave. Over all we had a lovely relaxing time at the Dreamcatcher villa and were happy to stay about it all day and just venture out in the we will return again. Beautiful, luxurious, well looked after and with an amazing host who was on hand throughout our whole stay to accommodate us with whatever we needed and even checked in with a little msg to see how we were enjoying our stay and if he could do anything more for us.. and of course organised our transport back to the airport but not before coming to see us (with a box of buns) to say good bye! Highly recommended villa
