10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2024
My wife and I recently spent an incredible 5 days in Rethymno, and we couldn’t 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 highlights—the 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 she’s 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 there’s one thing we could change, it’s 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!

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 can’t 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.

Excellent!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2022
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.
