Lovely house perched on top of a hill, this remote location was clean and spacious and offered breathtaking sunset views!The owner was there to greet us upon arrival to give us a brief walk through and provide a few recommendations.If you are looking to be on the outskirts of a major city centre like Chania, Heraklion, or Rethymno, this is a nice place to stay. It has a lovely pool (heated at extra cost) and an outdoor BBQ/lounge area ideal for end of June, July and August weather. The beds were extremely comfortable! The kitchen has some of the basic essentials if you don’t want to go out for dinner or prefer home cooked meals but I strongly encourage anyone staying there to try Alekos Taverna in Armenoi — Joseph, the owner and the chef was wonderful! Unfortunately, the wifi and TV weren’t working most times due to some upgrades being done in the area at the time we were there so we had to use our data and couldn’t watch TV to wind down after a busy day. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay at Villa Kleathi.

Family Get away in Crete

A perfect villa for our 5 night stay in Crete! The home is spacious, welcoming and offers not only complete privacy but amazing views from a wrap around porch and pool. We appreciated being able to spread out, enjoy the views from all of the bedrooms, and enjoy family meals cooked in the well-stocked kitchen. Our gracious host met us a check in and was available for any questions we had. It was a central location convenient to really sample the many wonderful offerings of Crete. I would highly recommend!

A wonderful property

We stayed here as a family of four and recommend the property highly. It is big and was fairly enormous for us but a great place for our four and seven year old to explore. The house has everything you need including a filter coffee maker and the owners are kind enough to supply all essentials including butter, coffee, bread etc. The local restaurant Goules is a great place just a few minutes drive away. You do need a car. Rethmyno is about 20 mins away with lots of places to eat. Livida beach was our favourite (about a 40 min drive) as it’s a sheltered cove with a sandy beach and very shallow. Closest supermarkets and bakery in j Armenoi and 8 min drive away. Our check in and check out was excellent and straightforward and the clean every few days was an added bonus. We would definitely return!

A gem!

We had a wonderful 2 weeks stay in this very beautiful and very big villa, up in the hills and away from all the hustle and bustle so were able to truly relax. There were 6 of us including 4 children and they had everything we needed. It would have been nice to have a couple more items for the children to play with in the pool but that was no big drama. Everything was very clean and it was nice to have them come and do a mid week clean whilst we were out. The 2 little supermarkets in Armeni have all that you require and if you need anything they don't have then Rythemno is only about 22 mins drive away. We did lots of day trips including 2 waterparks so there are many things that are accessible without having to drive more the 1.5 hours away to keep you busy. The company Etouri that manage the property were very helpful and even surprised us with a couple of gifts which was so nice of them and really appreciated. They were always available and very quick to respond if we needed anything. All in all, a great place to visit and stay. We were so lucky to be able to get away during such a happy 2020 COVID year and it was made extra nice by being here in Crete. Definitely recommend! Thank you for having us, Kerry x

3 generation family holiday to Villa Kleanthi August 2020.

Such an amazing villa which was most definitely worthy of our 5 star rating. It had everything we needed as a family of 7 across 3 generations for our holiday. Plenty of space inside and out, sun and shade at all time’s of the day, lovely pool for swimming and cooling off, amazing BBQ area and really well equipped kitchen and beautiful walks around the surrounding area. Away from it all but close enough to rethymno for nights out, visits to the beautiful town and beach visits to the south coast too. Thank you so much to Evelin the owner for such a warm welcome, the lovely treats and the food shop on our arrival. I can’t give enough praise to Etouri (Edit, Eleni and Kostas). Right from the off with help booking the villa, organising things before we arrived, booking amazing tables at special restaurants, checking in with us throughout our stay to see if we needed anything at all and keeping us fully up to date with any changes due to Covid restrictions. A fantastic service that we will definitely look to use again.

Fabulous villa in a beautiful remote location

Villa Kleanthi is truly a fabulous property, set in a remote mountain location in the village of Kare with stunning views of the White Mountains & surrounding countryside. Its owners, Marina & Takis were wonderful & attentive hosts, providing a very warm welcome and always being at hand whenever a problem presented itself. Its location provided easy access to both North & South coasts & a vehicle is essential to allow you to get around these areas and of course to do local supermarket shopping in Armenie. The villa provides so many outside areas for groups to sit & relax and also eat or have a drinks whilst watching the beautiful sun-set. Whilst enjoying 2 weeks of sunshine, the pool at this time of year was not warm enough for swimming but it still provided opportunities to cool off, when the sun became a little intense. Being in rural location, the peaceful atmosphere is often broken by the sound of sheep bells or a crowing cockerel and around sunset, a flock of swifts entertain you by swooping across the swimming pool taking a drink as they fly. Just down the road from the villa is Goules Taverna where Kostas the owner will provide some of the best Cretan food available on the island - this small taverna is a real gem & the welcome from Kostas is always warm & welcoming. Overall, our 2 weeks at Villa Kleanthi was extremely enjoyable and relaxing and we would have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone looking for a luxurious retreat in a peaceful & beautiful location in Crete.

This is a beautiful property very peaceful and with lovely views especially the sunsets! We were greeted by Marina the owner who was lovely she gave us a welcome gift of olive oil, jam and local made cakes plus basics in the fridge which was much appreciated. The house had everything we needed with plenty of space , lovely areas to sit and relax and a refreshing pool. Nearby supermarkets (car needed) and a taverna about a 20 minute walk away where the staff and owners are very friendly. We had a fantastic relaxing holiday and the owners and management couldn't have done anymore for us. Would definitely go again and fully recommend this property. Many thanks

Eine Oase der Entspannung auf Kreta

Die Villa Kleanthi auf Kreta ist ein wahres Juwel! Die verborgene Lage bietet einen spektakulären Blick entlang der Bergmassive und Olivenhaine und die umliegende Landschaft. Die Villa ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und bietet alle Annehmlichkeiten für einen entspannten Aufenthalt. Der private Pool ist perfekt zum Entspannen, und die großzügigen Außenbereiche laden zum Verweilen ein. Zur richtigen Zeit können Feigen oder Granatäpfel zu kühlen Drinks von den Bäumen gereicht werden. Der herzliche Service und die gastfreundliche Atmosphäre machen den Aufenthalt unvergesslich. Ein idealer Ort für einen erholsamen Urlaub!

Schöne Zeit im Bergdorf

Sehr schönes Anwesen, geräumig und sehr gut ausgestattet. Geschickte Raumaufteilung und dadurch gute Privatsphäre auch bei größerer Gruppe oder verschiedenen Generationen. Gepflege Außenanlage mit zwei getrennten Grünflächen sowie mit Pool, der regelmäßig gereinigt wird, bietet Ruhe und Entspannung. Geselliges Beisammensein und fröhliche Feiern ermöglicht die Außenküche. Ausgezeichnete (!) Tavernen mit leckeren kretischen Gerichten gibt es in den Nachbarorten. Das Haus ist zentral gelegen, somit sind die Strände im Norden und vor allem Süden gut erreichbar. Ein (Geheim-)Tipp: Ein Besuch auf dem nahegelegenen minoischen Friedhof.
