Thank you to George and his family. We had a fantastic holiday. The villa is excellent. The bedrooms are all very comfortable, clean and large. The inside kitchen is well equipped and the lounge is great with a Tv which the adult children could get netflix etc. The outside area is also excellent with a a large outside dining area and outside kitchen which we used a lot. A very sociable area. And the swimming pool was great. Clean and big enough to actually swim in. Highly recommended !

“My family loved staying here and would come again”

This place was incredible, it had everything you needed a few steps from your door (bakery, groceries, pharmacy, and restaurants) and the pool was super fun to hangout in with the family.

“Unforgettable stay”

It was a fantastic stay at this Villa. The villa is beautiful, and has all the facilities you need. There are 3 bathrooms which makes it very comfortable. The host George and his family are very friendly, hospitable and very approachable. They made for us a borek and a cake, so lovely and delicious. The swimming pool was very clean and the garden was super comfortable to stay. The house was fully cleaned once during our stay, with clean towels and sheets.

“Lovely place to stay”

This was a lovely place to stay. Beautiful property, and excellent facilities. Premises are kept very clean and presentable, and the hosts are most accommodating! Conveniently positioned 5 minutes drive from the closest Lidl supermarket - which should cater for most of your needs. There is also a well equipped local supermarket 2 minutes walk down the road, which we frequented several times. A number of attractions can be reached by car from this relatively central location. Key fob for the front gate supplied, and designated parking on site for each villa. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here. Area is nice, people are lovely, we felt safe, relaxed, and well looked after. We will be more than happy to stay at Atsipopoulo Villas again next time we visit the island. Highly recommended.

The villa was beautifully decorated with everything you could need. We loved the pool area which was great for our family of 7. George & his family were always on hand if you needed anything & giving advice on the area.

“Great host, great facilities, well located”

A friend and I stayed at Villa Elia for a week in April 2022. We were welcomed by the host, George, who was fantastically helpful throughout (special callout for the cheese pie and cheesecake his mother cooked for us during the week). George made sure we had everything we needed from day 1, and the facilities at the villa made our stay very comfortable. (The villa has been renovated for the 2022 season, and we didn't find that it was lacking anything.) Elia is located away from the main road, so it was quiet, and breakfast by the pool was always a relaxing experience. Atsipopoulo is a small village about a 10-minute drive from Rethymno. There are some fantastic bakers, restaurants and supermarkets in the village, and the locals are all very friendly (we particularly appreciated one restaurant owner offering us some off-menu 'mama's food' so that we could taste some of the local cuisine). Rethymno itself is as pretty as any existing review says it is, and it's worthwhile just pottering around with no set agenda. We were slightly out of season (which suited us well), so the weather wasn't always hot enough for the beach, but Villa Elia is so well located that we were able to drive around and see a lot of Crete. Chania is well worth a visit, as is the nearby Arkadi Monastery - but there are plenty other suggestions for day trips in a booklet in the villa. If you're into the outdoors, a drive into the centre of the island will take you into some surprisingly lush locations, where you can stop off at a taverna and have more of that home-cooked food. Again, the reception is always warm.

“A lovely villa very near to Rethymno, in a lovely little town. Fantastic hosts!”

The host was fantastic, and met us as we arrived with food and drink. The villa was large, spacious - more than enough for the seven of us. The pool was clean and lovely (if a little cold!), and even when the weather didn't play ball we were able to switch over the AC to heating mode and keep nice and toasty.

“Atsipopoulo Villas = Paradise”

There are very little else I can say only that this was THE BEST HOLIDAY we were ever on! The luxury of Villa Elia, paired with George and his family’s hospitality, the weather, the view and the peace- it doesn’t get better! The villa is excellent, top quality accommodation and the location is just perfect. 10 mins away from the bustling sea side of Reythmno, it is easily accessed and plenty of activities or plenty of rest- perfect for all types of holidays. The house is spotless, all top quality furnishings and the pool is amazing, getting sun all day! We enjoyed every minute, George and his family are so nice and helpful. We got to know the locals in the cafe and the bakery and everyone we met was as nice as the next. Don’t hesitate to book these Villas, we are already planning another trip back. Truly paradise!

George and his Mother were outstanding hosts, helpful and attentive at all times. The pastry on arrival, the desert during our week and the lovely gift as we left, all made by George’s mother, were delightful.

“Great Time at Villa Myrtia”

We stayed 6 nights at Villa Myrtia and really enjoyed these days. George and his mother gave ous a very warm welcome and even prepared some food and a bottle of wine. George is a great host and very helpful in finding a rental car, sailing trip or just bringing an air pump for our air matress😅 The house was very clean and they did clean it again during our stay and brought some more food (dessert which his mother did for us). All in all we enjoyed the villa and pool so much that we barley left it 😅 Thanks George for a great time!

Clean house, great position for access the beaches, and again the pool was very appreciated by the kids .
