We had an amazing stay at this beautiful villa. It was even bigger than we expected, with stunning views and plenty of privacy, as the neighboring houses are far apart. The pool was fantastic and used a special chlorine system that didn’t irritate our eyes. A car is highly recommended, as walking along the roads can be dangerous. Since we were all under 21 and unable to rent a car, Thanos helped us arrange an excellent taxi service and even assisted with groceries, so we never felt limited without a rental car. What really made our stay exceptional was Thanos. He was always available, checked in regularly, and was quick to help with any questions or problems. He also gave us great recommendations for Crete and made sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this villa to anyone visiting Crete, whether you’re a group of friends, students celebrating after exams, or a family looking for a great holiday. Thank you, Thanos! 😊

To the studio: Great studio, just as shown in the pictures and in the description. There were no unpleasant surprises waiting for us. The kitchen equipment had all the things you need to cook pasta, etc. For hospitality: Super friendly and warm welcome from the host! We were briefly shown the studio with all the items, and things that need to be considered were explained to us. Afterwards, we were shown the beaches that are right by the studio. We also received recommendations from the host about which restaurants give us a discount as guests of Renata Mare. The communication was very fast and straightforward! Messages were usually answered within 10 minutes at the very latest. In addition, the parents own a small shop under the studios – and they ask us every day if everything is to our satisfaction. Therefore, we actually always had someone on site when it came to needing things like toilet paper.

I can agree with everyone before me: nice apartment and location. Thanos showed us the area for orientation. All questions were answered with tips and links to inquire. Thanos lives and breathes being a host. I would also like to thank his parents for the lovely stay.

I stayed here for a week in May with my wife and had a wonderful time. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Thanos and his parents, who ran a small shop next door. The apartment was spotlessly clean, modern, and adequately furnished. A balcony that was spacious enough for breakfast or lunch/dinner. The apartment is located in a lively neighborhood with quiet background music. You could enjoy this on the balcony, and should you need peace and quiet, the room was surprisingly soundproofed. Incidentally, during my stay, there were no nightlife noises to be heard after 11:30 PM anyway. Contact with Thanos's parents was very cordial, so if you wanted to know anything, they were a good point of contact. In summary: We enjoyed a week at Renata Mare Studio and can wholeheartedly recommend it.
