Private villa with private pool and amazing view in an unspoilt environment
Villa Agni is a lovely stone detached villa that promises to make you feel the unspoilt Cretan nature and tradition.
The house has 4 air conditioned bedrooms, all decorated in style, with elegant curtains, hand-made mirrors, beautifully painted walls as well as spacious closets. To its fully equipped kitchen(microwave oven, coffee machine, toaster, electric kettle, etc.) you will find an old wooden fireplace. To the upper floor(apart from the one bedroom and the kitchen) there is also a bathroom(with shower) and a beautifully decorated living room with a lot of windows that offer a great view either of the mountains and the gorge either of the front veranda and courtyard.
Downstairs, there are the three other bedrooms and one bathroom with shower.
Staying to that house with its ceiling made by old beams and with the rocks inside the bedroom walls it's an experience that you will not forget.
The outdoor part of the house: The outdoor part of the house spreads into 4 acres of terraces, with dense vegetation, a kiosk, paved courtyards, hidden corners and a swimming pool with a view of the mountains and the lush green landscape.
You can enjoy your coffee or dinner to the kiosk that is placed just above the swimming pool and has a view to the gorge and the mountain.
You will definitely feel the magic of Cretan nature.
In the gardens you can find a lot of corners for relaxation and calm as well as organic grown vegetables for your salads, that will give you a small taste of the gifts of the Cretan land.
There is also a BBQ area as well as parking area.
You can take a walk outside through the friendly village and admire the unique architecture of the place as well as the nature.

Mountain farmhouse with gardens, multiple entertainment areas and pool
Perfect for a week with family where we could relax, cook and eat together. Separate sleeping quarters meant our son with our young grandchildren had their own space. We all loved the gardens and pool, enjoyed making orange juice daily, and made good use of the charcoal bbq and pizza oven. Property better than described. Our small and medium rental cars were ok on the narrow winding roads and through villages. Do a grocery shop in any of the five supermarkets and butcher in Perama before you arrive. Best not to waste precious pool time driving those mountain roads.

Awesome Villa
Our family of six adults and three children thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely villa. It was spacious and well laid out. The grounds were terraced, filled with large trees and plants, and a pool that is large and gorgeous. It was also completely fenced, gated and private. The family successfully updated the amenities without losing the charm and character of the era in which it was built. The location was remote, but since we had rented a vehicle, we had no problem getting where we wanted to go and back. I would highly recommend this villa to any group looking for an out of the ordinary place that is both large and comfortable.

A road from hell
Private villa with private pool and amazing view in an unspoilt environment
Don’t be fooled by the pictures! The Villa is nice but it will take you at least 20 minutes to drive the 10 km from the village. The road is outrageously narrow and tortuous, especially since we were driving a van. One part of the trip to the villa is on a road that is so narrow that you pray that no car will be coming face to face with you, as there is no place to move over. On one side you have the mountain and on the other one a very deep ravine and of course no guard rail! We did not expect anything like this. We are used to small roads but that one was out of this world. Also, I was travelling with 80 and 78 years old family members and they were completely shaken by the time we got the villa. I had a discussion with the owner but the only thing suggested was to relocate us to another villa 4 kms from the village for an enormous extra cost. They could not tell me the price of one night in that new villa compared to the one in Villa Agni! As we had already spent a little more than a large amount for the week, we decided we could not afford that solution, and of course, they did not want to refund us. We were stuck there in the mountains with nothing around. We traveled twice at night and got lost both times and it took us 1.5 hours to find our way back! GPS was getting lost also. The property is nice but skip all the details. First, they charge what I think is a ridiculous amount per day to heat the pool. Apparently as a good gesture, they were supposed to heat it up for us, free. The water was freezing cold. Ants are crawling everywhere in the kitchen. The refrigerator alarm goes off all day and night. Since the temperature can not be adjusted,, everything was freezing. AC unit in the double bedroom downstairs does not work. Door of that bedroom is not opening or closing properly, frame ready to fall off. Quite impossible to unlock the main bathroom door downstairs. You have to push with your knee to close the half bathroom door downstairs. In addition, no, I did not call them to fix anything, after the way they treated us, we did not want to have to deal with them!

Great time spent with the family in an excellent villa with plenty of "Mamma Mia" character
A charming villa with a pool overlooking the valley and mountains. All required facilities were provided including a generous welcome pack and the ongoing service by the Hatzidakis family was prompt and first rate. A quiet, rural and rustic location accessed by narrow and winding roads some 20 minutes from Perama so being prepared and confident enough to drive abroad is an important consideration. Perama has all you require and we would recommend the Carrefour supermarket, the butchers some 50m down the road and the patisserie close to the bridge. Recommended trips would be Panormos and its beach, (Bali was too crammed for us), Carob 'n' Olive restaurant and Olive Processing factory in Melidoni, Rethymnon and its old town area (Rimondi restaurant was great), Klados Winery, Samaria Gorge (Thursday evening = Cretan music & dancing) and Potamoi dam (including lakeside café for ice cream). Although we ventured out on many occasions we really enjoyed the villa, the pool and cooking our own food on the BBQ and in the pizza oven. Great time and wonderful memories.

Great place to relax
We had a very relaxing stay at villa Agni, the house is a little bit remote but allows you to see how crete is off the beaten track, we combined our trip with another rental in Chania which contrasted a lot in terms of peacefulness, if you look for a quite holiday retreat, villa Agni is your place

Phantastisches Idyll in den Hügeln Kretas
Wir haben schon einige Ferienhäuser gemietet aber das hier hat unsere Erwartungen deutlich übertroffen. Hier stimmt einfach alles: die ruhige Lage, die angenehme Anfahrt, die grandiose Aussicht in die Berge, die gepflegten Räumlichkeiten und der saubere und klare Pool. Wir wurden auch noch nie so freundlich mit einem großen gefüllten Korb, der alles was man zum Start so braucht, inklusive einer Flasche Wein, begrüßt. Alle unsere Anfragen auch bei einem regionalen Stromausfall wurden sofort und freundlich beantwortet. Die Lage zeichnet sich auch dadurch aus, dass man innerhalb einer Stunde viele Ausflugsziele erreichen kann: von langen Sandstränden über die wunderschöne Stadt Rethymno und Höhlen bis hin zu Klöstern. Auch Panormo am Meer ist nur zwanzig Minuten entfernt, ebenso wie mehrere idyllisch gelegene Bergdörfer. Ein Auto benötigt man allerdings schon.
Wir können diese Unterkunft und auch die netten Vermieter nur weiterempfehlen.

Das Haus in einem Dorf ohne jeden Tourismus ist wunderschön, der Pool mit bis 2.60 Tiefe und Blick auf die Berge sowie der herrliche Garten mit Feigen- und Zitronenbäumen märchenhaft. Für 7 Personen sehr in Ordnung 😊. Das Internet ist allerdings sehr schwankend, liegt aber eben an der Lage. Man muss eben Prioritäten haben, unsere war das Haus. Lieber Willkommensgruß mit fester und flüssiger Verpflegung . Jederzeit hätten wir vor Ort Ansprechpartner bei Problemen gehabt. Alles nur zu empfehlen.

Haus liegt ziemlich abgelegen: kein Geschäft, kein Restaurant ist zu Fuß zu erreichen. Auto ist unbedingt notwendig. Die Menschen im Dorf sind aber sehr herzlich und freundlich. Wir wurden spontan zum Dorffest eingeladen und waren dafür sehr dankbar.
Das Haus ist sehr sauber und alles, was man braucht, ist vorhanden.

Formidable séjour dans la villa Agni
Nous étions deux familles (2 couples, au total 5 enfants entre 3 et 16 ans) et nous avons passé une semaine formidable dans la villa Agni.
La villa est magnifique, authentique (ancienne ferme) mais très bien rénovée, décorée simplement mais avec goût, très confortable. La maison est très bien équipée et d'une propreté irréprochable (jamais vu en location : à mi-séjour la femme de ménage est venue pour un ménage intermédiaire).
Perdue dans la montagne, la maison est très reposante, le jardin est très beau (nous avons mangé des figues fraîches !) et la vue sur la montagne splendide, la piscine est très agréable et les diverses terrasses sont parfaites pour suivre ou s'abriter du soleil.
Compter 20 minutes pour aller faire les courses à Perama où l'on trouve tout ce qu'il faut (plusieurs super-marchés).
Idéal pour des vacances en famille ou entre amis.
Enfin les propriétaires sont extrêmement gentils et ont veillé à ce que nous passions un excellent séjour.
Nous recommandons vivement cette villa !

Gut ausgestattetes Haus in schöner Landschaft, feranb vom Mainstream Tourismus
Die sog. "Villa Agni" liegt inmitten einer sehr kleinen dörflichen Ansammlung auf ca . 350 m Höhe. Die Landschaft rund um das Haus ist sehr schön, abwechslungsreich, gebirgig, mit hier und da umherziehenden Schaf und Ziegenherden. Die Menschen, denen wir begegnet sind, waren ausnahmslos nett, relaxed und aufgeschlossen, immer freundlich und extrem hilfsbereit.
Vom Flughafen Iraklio / Heraklion benötigt man mit dem Auto faktisch ca. 70 Min. bis zum Haus. Kleiner Tip, weil uns Google Maps bei der Hinfahrt auf eine nervige und lansame Seitenstrasse geführt hatte, am besten wie folgt bei der Hinfahrt agieren:
a) Vom Flughafen in Richtung Panormos navigieren (durchgängige Schnellstrasse)
b) An der Abzweige Panormus/ Perama, links abbiegen und bis nach Perama (Ortsmitte) fahren
Wir haben uns n Perama mit den Besitzeren bzw Verwaltern des Hauses getroffen, die mit uns zum Haus gefahren sind/ wir quasi im Schlepptau.
Antonis, über den alle Kommunikation in Englisch lief, war immer erreichbar und extrem hilfreich. Großes Lob und Danke an dieser Stelle !
Das Haus ist sehr sauber und akkurat ordentlich gehalten. Küche, die Bäder und Schlafzimmer sind auf wirklich gutem Ferienhaus-Niveau (endlich einmal komfortable Kopfkissen, die sich auch so nennen dürfen, sehr gut !) ausgestattet, mit ausreichend Platz für mehrere Personen.
Poolbereich, Terassenbereiche, sowie der gesamte Garten sind um das Haus herum gut angelegt und bieten auch ausreichend Raum für persönliche Ruhezonen. Ein freistehendes Haus, ohne allzu direkte Nachbarchaftsgrenzen. Wir haben uns durchgängig ungestört und auch sehr sicher gefühlt.
Kleinigkeiten, die dennoch etwas nerven können, wenn man nicht darauf vorbereitet ist oder etwas "picky" ist:
a) alle 3 oder 4 Tage kommt eine Reinemachefrau vorbei. Das kann die Privatzone stören, am besten vorher abmachen, ob man das so will oder ob man alternativ- wie wir- genaue Zeiten abmachen oder gleich Termine ausfallen lassen, damit die Ungestörtheit erhalten bleibt.
b) In der Küche gabe es nur 2 kleine Geschirrtrockner (da sollten einfach 6-8 mehr sein)
c) Alle Gemüse / Kochmesser mit glatten Klingen sind stumpf. Eigenen Schärfer mitbringen, falls man etwas vernünftig schneiden möchte.
d) Es ist keine Espressomaschine vorhanden, not a big thing, aber hey ;)
e) Internet: kein High Speed erwarten , aber es geht so , Sky App Bundesliga lief auf dem iPad ;)
ALLES GUT !
Das Haus ist wirklich sehr empfehlenswert.
