Luxury rentals in Crete

We had a fantastic week here - two families with 5 small children between us. The house is beautiful, spacious and private, with top-of-the-line appliances and furniture, and everything you could think of for a holiday. The pool and private beach access was perfect - one thing to be aware of is that the house and patio area have tiles which look stunning but are very slippery when wet - not a problem but something to keep in mind when kids are running in and out of the pool. The service provided by the host was amazing - daily cleaning by a wonderful and helpful maid, grocery delivery and very quick responses. We had a private chef come 3 times, which was amazing and highly recommended. We will be back!

We had a great time at this amazing villa! It was just as described and as per the photos. A really well thought out space. The host was super friendly, really responsive with clear instructions and suggestions of local restaurants etc. Katerina our host was amazing, she even cooked a welcome meal for us, along with baking a cake and bringing us treats during our stay with a lovely gift to leave. The location is great with beautiful surroundings! You’ll need a car to explore.

Overall, I would highly recommend staying at the Thalassa Residence. Valia promptly addressed our inquiries, provided us with the necessary information, and delivered excellent services at the villa. Dimitris, the property manager, was readily available on-site for any immediate villa needs or questions. One of the highlights of our stay was booking Chef Kostas, whose professionalism, charm, and culinary skills made our dinners at the villa truly enjoyable. It's worth noting that there is ongoing construction behind the villa which obstructs the view, contrary to what is shown in the photos. This development, while relatively new, was unfortunately not communicated to us upon arrival. Although the area was quiet during weekends, we felt uneasy during weekdays due to construction activities near the villa. Although disappointing, it did not significantly detract from our overall experience as we found activities to do in town and around Crete. Would recommend ThinkVilla as a company.

We recently held our company offsite at Villa Heora in Rethymno, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The villa itself is stunning, nestled in a fantastic location that combines privacy with easy access to local attractions. Although there was an additional fee to heat the pool, it proved to be completely worth it given the chilly weather, allowing us to enjoy a warm, relaxing swim. A short drive took us to the charming old town of Rethymno, where we indulged in some of the best local cuisine at delightful restaurants. Our host, Giorgos, was exemplary—always available and quick to respond to any of our queries or needs. His hospitality made our stay comfortable and seamless. We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Villa Heora. It provided the perfect setting for both work and relaxation, making our offsite truly memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special getaway on Crete!
