One word ... fabulous!
I feel I could have written this review before I arrived at the property such was the quality of the communication, photos and information given by the fabulous owners! Villa Adonis is GREAT and we had a super week there. It is quite possibly the cleanest, freshest smelling villa we have ever rented so our compliments to Nikki who oversees this. The quality of the villa internally and externally is excellent ... the beds, linens and bathroom are superb. It has clearly been well thought out and offers lots of little treats and extras that will make your time there a pleasure. However, it is the outside space that is really special ... a huge lawned garden filled with olive trees, fruit trees that sit alongside perfumed jasmine and hibiscus flowers surrounding two patio areas and the wonderful pool. Our teenagers loved the pool particularly because it was deep and they are tall now but there is a clever baby/toddler pool if you have children that aren't so big! Thank you Vissilis for the superb job you do caring for the pool and grounds. You do have neighbours at the villa but are barely aware of them such is the clever site design. It is a quiet spot down a dirt track where the cicadas are definitely making the most noise! The views of the valley onto the distant sea are lovely and the stars at night a joy to see. The area is great for exploring and we highly recommend that you read the comprehensive information book provided by the owner ... it's brilliant... spot on! We dragged ourselves away from the pool every now and again and we discovered and loved Taverna Eleven (awesome location, delicious food) Rethimno ( rich in history and perfect for exploring, shopping, a swim then dinner as the sun goes down) Spilies beach and taverna (we all fell in love with this little cove ... fantastic swimming but watch the winds though as the sea will be rough on a windy day ... the taverna offers simple well cooked Greek fare just up from the beach ... sandy toes and bottoms welcome!!) All in all it has been the most wonderful holiday where we fell in love with Crete, the Island and the people, and thoroughly enjoyed our time at Villa Adonis which we HIGHLY RECOMMEND ... thank you Monique and Adonis you have created a fabulous property.
