Lovely villa with a great host, from Stella to pool boy (aka grandparents). Good communication and recommendations for taxi, car hire and restaurants. 3 bedrooms upstairs (2 double and 1 twin) with a/c, balconies and lovely en suites. Further to the balconies there is an additional terrace which captures the sun all day, great for morning coffee and evening sunsets over the sea view. The ground floor has a large open plan entrance, dining area and kitchen leading off into a seperate lounge area. On this floor there is a further bedroom with a seperate bathroom (all bathrooms have showers) so no sharing of facilities. This bedroom has access to the large terrace at the front of the house, ideal for evening meals and drinks. There is a further shaded terrace with seating near a large bbq, this leads to the pool and does the large terrace at the front of the villa. There is a door off the kitchen leading to the bins and further storage. The basement has a washing machine and ironing board completing the great available cooking, cleaning, dining, crockery equipment. The pool was lovely and clean and gets the sun until 6/7 in the evening as well as having shaded areas. The pool is deep and large so plenty of space for games, swimming and diving and good quality towels readily available. We highly recommend this villa, and the hosts for the welcome wine and food and the mid week dessert. The area is good a short 6 minute walk to 3 bars, 1 shop and a 10 minute bus into Rethymno.

A wonderful property with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable holiday on the beautiful island of Crete. A well laid out house with lots of room, inside and out. 4 bedrooms (all with a balcony), 4 shower rooms, great air con and fab pool and outdoor areas. The village is lovely with 3 friendly tavernas for coffee, drinks and meals (we frequented them all) also a well stocked shop and a butchers - everything you could need. Ideal position for travelling to a range of attractions. We particularly liked the Mili gorge - a short drive away and a nice shaded walk with tavernas at top and bottom. Some lovely stretches of beach in easy reach too. The hosts were super responsive, helpful and generous too which always makes for a great stay. I'm not one for going back to the same place twice - but I would definitely consider a return to Villa DiStella.

We had a great time at Villa De Stella and it is a brilliant location for local tavernas! Stella and her family are lovely and really helpful! The villa got cleaned every few days which was fab with fresh linen etc. the 4 stars for the cleanliness rating was because the oven pans inside the oven were not clean (nothing that our own elbow grease didn’t resolve!)
Villa layout was great - double room and separate bathroom on ground floor and two further doubles and a twin upstairs all with en-suites. Pool area was lovely but would have liked a couple more umbrellas for shade as 2 is not quite enough. Overall we had a great time, great villa in a great location and great hosts! We will be back!

We had a blissful October week at Villa DiStella. The property is very large and much nicer than the photos suggest. The garden is lush and well looked after and can be enjoyed from 3 separate large terraces and thats not mentioning the small balconies on each of the rooms! The interior is comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. The roof terrace has stunning views of the sea and across the mountains and is well positioned to enjoy the sunset.The local village is very beautiful and we enjoyed pre-dinner drinks and supper at the super friendly taverna on the square. We very much enjoyed walking through the traditional village to get fresh bread from the shop each morning. And what sets this property apart - the warmth of greeting from the owners who also run the local shop. We had a friendly chat every morning with Stellas mum and often left with freshly baked cakes she had made for us.The villa is also well placed for the loacl area. Rethymino is a really great town and we had no problem driving and parking on the outskirts, althought the local bus ran regulary from the village. The families favourite trip was to Schinaria Beach (as recommended by Yannis at the taverna). At the end of a single track road is a beautiful crystal clear bay where we snorkelled (take your gear with you) and saw the most beautiful fish in only a few feet of water. So I wont hesitate to recommend this villa. The family who own it are so welcoming and helpful throughout your stay it sets you up for a perfect holiday.
