Villa Tinadora totally exceeded our expectations, being even more fantastic than the photos and details on the website. The location is a dream, surrounded by olive groves and stunning views of the mountains and sea. However, it is near to a beautiful beach and typical Greek resort offering absolutely everything a family could wish for.
The owners are the most friendly, genuine and helpful couple we have ever met, so thank you for such a wonderful dream holiday :) Vicky had already been so very helpful in arranging our airport transfer (as we preferred not to drive) and answering our many questions about our stay. Panos came especially to greet us on our arrival very late at night, and had even picked us up fresh warm pizzas to enjoy after our late flight. He also went out of his way to come back the next morning to drive us around the area, pointing out best local supermarkets, restaurants, and beach areas etc. which was extremely helpful and enabled us to get the best out of our one week stay. We also had the peace of mind that we could get in touch if we had any problems…(which we didn’t! ) We even had a welcome pack waiting for us with grocery essentials, and got a delivery of freshly picked lemons to make our own Cretan lemonade!
The Villa is luxurious and immaculate, everything you need for a relaxing stay. We were amazed by the views from every (large) balcony, and the immense size of the bedrooms, bathrooms, and living/kitchen area. The property also felt very safe with the enclosed boundary walls and electronic gates. We didn't expect to also have excellent cleaning service during the week which was free of charge too. All mod cons are available, above and beyond the usual. The Villa and the stay in this area of Crete
My family were in seventh Heaven with the swimming pool and tennis court, and outdoor space. There was even an exercise machine, should relaxation be too much for you The Villa and stay in this area was loved by ALL the family; adults, teenager and 10 year old alike…..there was something to suit us all.
We found travelling round the area without a car quite easy and cheap, using taxis from the Villa to the nearby beach resort and the bus service to travel a little further to Rethymno. The restaurants and bars were the best we have sampled...such friendly locals and quality value for money.
We have recommended the Villa to all our friends and relatives, and are hoping to be able to come back again next year :)
