What can I say about Villa Ageri, but spectacular! The breathtaking views, the quality of the facilities, the pool and outside spaces and the wonderful hosts. George who speaks excellent english was extremely helpful. Our family had the most wonderful time. Western Crete is amazing. A favourite day was the trip through the mountains to Loutro on the South Coast, a stunning place only accessible by boat. I highly recommend this Villa. In reality, far exceeds your expectations.
This is a beautiful villa . It is exceptionally well maintained ….and so well equipped . We had a wonderful few days here. We were welcomed by our host’s lovely parents and later by George himself who explained everything to us . The garden and pool area are immaculate … and we were encouraged to pick the fruit and vegetables growing there . George also came to say goodbye before we left which was a lovely gesture . He brought us bottles of wine from his family vineyard which we had hoped to visit but the weather was against us. We would highly recommend this villa … and would love to visit it again ourselves . It far exceeded all our expectations . Thank you George .
Hébergement magnifique, dans un petit village de montagne très agréable.La maison est incroyablement entretenue et équipée.La route passe à côté de la maison comme évoqué dans d’autres commentaires, mais elle est en contrebas et ne dérange pas.Nous étions à 9 adultes et y avons trouvé tout le confort imaginable, avec une vue imprenable !Mais l’atout principal de cet hébergement reste les hôtes qui s’en occupent :Georges et sa famille sont aux petits soins, anticipent toutes vos demandes, vous conseillent, et vous accompagnent dans tous vos besoins pendant votre séjour.Nous n’avons jamais été aussi bien accueilli sur un logement de vacances et les remercions 1000 fois pour leurs attentions !L’emplacement permet à la fois d’accéder à des plages et des randonnées de montagne dans les gorges, tout en profitant de la piscine à votre retour dans la maison.Nous recommandons fortement cet hébergement !
Zunächst einmal möchten wir uns bei George und seiner Familie ganz herzlich für den tollen Service und die familiäre Atmosphäre in den 16 Tagen, in denen wir mit zwei Familen (8 Personen) das Haus bewohnen durften, bedanken. Wir haben uns selten so wohl in einem Ferienhaus gefühlt und werden sicherlich noch einmal wiederkommen!
Zum Haus: Im Erdgeschoss gibt es drei Zimmer für jeweils zwei Personen, die Außentreppen hoch gibt es dann noch ein Appartement für weitere 2 Personen, so dass 8 Personen locker Platz haben. Das zweite Appartement im Obergeschoss mit der Dachterasse dient den Vermietern. Die Küche ist ausreichend groß, Handtücher werden ca. alle 3 Tage gewechselt und das Haus gereinigt.
Außenbereich: Dieser ist liebe- und stilvoll eingerichtet und es gibt etliche Rückzugsmöglichkeiten, die entweder im Schatten liegen oder beschattet werden können. Am ausreichend großen Pool (ca. 1,5m tief) sind grnügend liegen und Sonnenschirme vorhanden. Die Tischtennisplatte war ein Highlight für die Kinder.
Ein weiteres Highlight ist der Gemüse- und Obstgarten: Neben Tomaten, Aubergienen, Zucchini, Gurken,... durften wir uns noch täglich und ohne Einschränkungen an den Nektarinen, Melonen, Pflaumen und Birnen bedienen - einfach nur genial!
Lage: Das Haus liegt an einer Durchgangsstraße zwischen Episkopi und kurz vor dem Dorf Argiropouli. Der Verkehrslärm hält sich absolut in Grenzen, die Zikaden übertönen zumeist das Geräusch vorbeifahrender Autos oder Motorräder. An der Ecke ( ca. 30m entfernt) gibt es einen Bäcker. Zum Episkopi-Beach sind es ca. 7 Minuten mit dem Auto. Und genau das ist ein weiteres Plus für das Haus. Man ist nahe am Meer, befindet sich jedoch wenig später im Hinterland und gefühlt in den Bergen - uns hat das sehr gut gefallen. Rethymno-City liegt ca. 25 Minuten, Chania ca. 50 Minuten entfernt. Der Weg zu den Stränden in den Süden dauert ebenfalls gute 50 Minuten, die Straßen sind jedoch mit Schlaglöchern übersäht, eine Reifenversicherung ist auf Kreta ein Muss!
Strände: Epsikospi-Beach bietet neben Tavernen, Rettungsschwimmern, Duschen und Toiletten auch eine Liegen mit Schirmen, die bei Bestellung von Getränken nichts kosten. Also zusätzliche Sonnenschirme zu kaufen ist quatsch. Bei Wind und starken Wellen ist das Baden wegen starker Unterströmungen nicht erlaubt.
Fazit: Das Haus ist Top, die Lage sehr gut und der Vermieter unschlagbar nett. Also eine absolute Empfehlung unsererseits mit besten Grüßen an George und sein Team!
Just back from two weeks in this wonderful villa, it was a fantastic holiday. The villa is beautiful, well maintained, fabulous outside living areas and pool. Inside had everything you could need in clean,spacious rooms.George and family were exceptional hosts - generous and quick to respond/resolve any queries. The fruit and vegetable garden we were able to pick our own tomatoes, peppers, aubergine and melons from was a real unexpected treat! The beds were comfortable with fresh linen provided every three days if you wanted. The views from the villa are just stunning and the village had plenty of tavernas and shops. It was the best of both worlds feeling relaxed and secluded and yet having plenty of amenities close by. We hired a car and visited different beaches in the area and also on the south coast. The near by lake is another wonderful spot to visit. Now just need to plan when we’re going back…..
Vriendelijke, gastvrije ontvangst. Goede uitleg van allerlei dingen. Gezellig ingericht. Zwembad groot genoeg, genoeg privacy. Wel auto nodig. regelmatige wisseling van bedlinnen en handdoeken. Staan bij aankomst al wat boodschappen klaar. Prima ligging voor strand en uitstapjes naar zowel het noorden als zuiden. Top vakantie gehad
