The perfect week in this beautiful villa. Plenty of room for us all - 7 adults and a 6 month old baby. Views to die for, comfy beds, great aircon, lovely sun loungers, heated pool and a 10 minute drive into Almyrida which has plenty of restaurants and bars on the beach. There is a handy shop walkable from the villa for all the essentials. Vasilis couldn’t have been more helpful. We will be back!

Villa Rouga - Zuhause im Urlaub!
Wir haben uns in der Villa super wohl gefühlt. Die hohen Decken, die sanften Farben und die Sauberkeit garantieren einen wunderbaren Urlaub. Nicht nur die Größe, sondern auch der Pool waren perfekt geeignet für uns 6 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder. Der Besitzer war immer erreichbar, und gab uns super Tipps für Unternehmungen in der Umgebung. Die Villa liegt nahe an einem Strand und Tavernen. Ein privater Chef und professionelle Massage kann gebucht werden. Danke für diese tollen Tage, wir kommen wieder!

My family and I had a great time staying here up in the hills. Just a short drive to beaches or cities yet secluded enough for a nice quiet evening in when we wanted.

A Family Paradise
This was our most relaxing holiday ever - a beautifully equipped villa - the most comfortable mattresses - set in a small village overlooking real Crete - farms, grapes and olives and views of the sea. Everything about this holiday was perfect - 10 minutes from the Sea - lovely villages and only 40 minutes from Chania.
Great pool, fantastic gym, living space with a bedroom and ensuite shower room (voted best considered space for disability in 20 villa rentals by my mother) all on one floor. The wood fired oven and the local English butcher made an afternoon's entertainment and delicious Rib of Beef. Villa Rouga is a house made to create memories for all generations, Vassilis an amazing host and we can't wait to go back

We would highly recommend this lovely villa to anyone. Set in a lovely quiet village, we loved the peaceful surroundings and beautiful views. We hope to return one day soon.

Although we encountered some technical difficulties working through VRBO, the owner Mr Georgilas was extremely accommodating and facilitating in helping get us this location for the last few days our our Cretan vacation, and it was the best ending to an overall fabulous trip!
The property itself is exactly what you'd be looking for to escape. Impeccably clean and well maintained and manicured, this villa is nestled in a sleepy village overlooking some fabulous olive groves in the hills just south east of Chania. The house fabulously laid out to provide privacy for families or groups but not so much as one feels too distant from the 'action'. It has a games room and exercise facility to work off the calories incurred from outings sampling the local cuisine. It is very well outfitted with modern appliances and technology, if you have demanding young adults. There is a shop and Resturant within walking distance if you aren't keen to drive and if you are, most everything is available within a 10 minute drive.
Although not completely convenient to get to the beach, (8 min by car) we were perfectly content to lounge by large heated pool.
You will likely want a car for this villa as I didn't see public transportation convenient to the village.
We LOVED staying at this villa and if there is one negative about the experience, it is that we didn't stay there long enough.
If we are lucky enough to get back to Crete in the near future, we will remedy that regret and book this villa again, guaranteed!

A beautiful house, well equipped and with everything for relaxation. Situated in a small and quiet village with beautiful view into the mountains and the bay of Kefalos. Nice sunset:-) we hired a car and were in short rides at the beaches or in plenty of good restaurants. Wish we could be there again soon!!

Amazing place, host and location. Couldn’t have asked for more
We were a group of 9- me and my husband and our 2 children, my sister and her 2 children and parents. Children aged 15-5.
Regular contact-from the host. Greeted by 2 lovely cleaners. Basket of local goodies. Clean mid-week.
The villa is everything you see in the pictures and more! Couldn’t recommend it enough.
Lots to do around the villa-relaxing by the pool on the warmer days. Or gym/sauna/hot tub on the colder days.
Everyone had a amazing time.
Can’t wait to go back if I get the chance again

Excellent villa
We have stayed in many VRBO properties and in this case the property actually lives up to the promise of the photos. It is a spacious and very stylish property in an old village in an interesting semi-rural location. It easily accommodates 8 people in considerable comfort both inside and outside. Given the location, a car is obviously a necessity for supermarket access and longer journeys, although there are a number of nearby villages within easy distance that offer excellent traditional Cretan fare. The owner, Vasilis, is easily contacted and responsive. Highly recommended.

We all loved property and location. Area is peaceful but still accessible to touristy sites. Sitting eating and swimming pool areas are all beautiful and relaxing. No doubt I would stay here again and would recommend this place to anyone going to chania.

Two weeks is not long enough in this wonderful villa
We were 3 couples staying in this amazing villa which was spacious, beautiful contemporary furnishings and worked very well for us. Our villa did indeed overlook the White Mountains and gave us a glorious view everyday whilst you could also see down to the bay and the twinkling lights at night. We have rented many houses over the years and this swimming pool has been the best one yet, crystal clear water, lovely to swim in with steps going gradually into the water. There were many different areas in the villa to sit and enjoy the views, we did enjoy the jacuzzi at night and everyday sat on the veranda eating our breakfast or dinner and this was a particularly spacious and pleasant area. We found the village quiet and peaceful and did indeed hear the goats and donkeys as they were moved or fed. The village shop was excellent and you could buy most things there. We found fantastic tavernas in the local villages particularly Arismari in Gavalohori and To Yaladiko in Kokkino Chorio - these should not be missed for a fantastic dinner, atmosphere and incredibly friendly service. We had the most amazing visit to the Palace of Knossos and organised an English speaking guide there which truly brought this palace to life for us - we paid 80 euros for that and worth every euro! We also went to the Botanical Gardens south of Chania and on a Monday evening they have Greek music and dancing there with a buffet (amazing 20 euros) - what a great evening that was.
Thank you Vasilis for having such an amazing villa which we never wanted to leave, we could not have asked for anything else it was perfection!

True retreat in authentic Greek village
Mountain retreat with all the amenities that one experiences in a luxury resort-welcome basket with Crete specialties, robes, plush towels, soaps, housekeeping, and more. Minutes from beaches, tavernas, bakeries and markets. We thoroughly enjoyed Crete using Villa Rouga as our launching pad, including making a dinner on the wood fire grill at the Villa with all local ingredients. We used the sauna, hot tub, the pool, ping pong table, and thoroughly enjoyed the sunset over the mountains and sea from the terrace.

Beautiful villa in a quiet location
The villa is very spacious and well appointed with everything you need for a quiet relaxing holiday. We had a lovely week and particularly enjoyed the new pool heating. Not cheap but worth it for the hours of enjoyment it gave the kids.

Your own secret luxury hideaway in a typical Cretan village
I was given a list of requirements by a group of demanding friends for our villa holiday and Villa Rouga was the only one to tick every box. The beautiful location with stunning views of the mountains and sea is matched by the charm and character of the villa, designed and equipped to the highest possible standard - everything you could wish for is here. The pool is kept heated to a comfortable temperature (by heater not solar),a jacuzzi, a sauna , a gym, luxurious beds with top quality Italian sheets, modern bathrooms and an attentive staff keeping everything pristine - what more could you ask for?.........to come back again, of course!

This villa is simply stunning.
This was our second visit to Villa Rouga and it did not disappoint. My partner has never before stayed in the same place twice and she is well travelled. Safe to say we will be returning again. Breathtaking views from the top floor open air hot tub looking at the mountain and sea view. Built for a movie star owned by the nicest host you will meet Vasilis you are one of the reasons this place is so special to us thank you and see you soon my friend.

Perfect holiday
Luxurious and excellently appointed villa with a perfect host in Vasilis. We loved the area and the guide prepared, helped us find some brilliant restaurants and locations to make our holiday perfect. Don't miss the English butcher if you want fine French steaks or the best cured bacon.
We hope to come back.

Tolle Villa in ruhiger Umgebung
Wir sind drei befreundete Familien und verbrachten im Mai 2017 einen absolut tollen Urlaub in der Villa Rougha in Xirosterni. Das eindrucksvolle Haus liegt in einer ruhigen, kleinen Ortschaft mit Sicht auf die Bucht von Almyrida und das Ida Gebirge. Die Ausstattung des Haus ist top, die Krönung war der tägliche Gebrauch des Jacuzzi auf der obersten Terrasse mit unglaublichem Ausblick. Bestens betreut wurden wir vom freundlichen Hausbesitzer Vasilis. Die Nähe von Chania und Rethymnon (jeweils ca. 30km) ermöglichte uns nette Ausflüge. In der näheren Umgebung der Villa gibt es etliche authentische griechische Tavernen mit tollem Essen.

Relaxing, Luxurious Holiday Villa
We booked a week in late October and we had a great time, the Villa with all its facilities was fantastic! My day started with a 20 minute dip in the Jacuzzi whilst soaking in the stunning scenery, followed by breakfast on one of the sun terraces, followed by 100 lengths of the pool (no chlorine, no sore eyes!) We were then ready to explore the local villages which were only a few kilometers away. The Villa was immaculate and luxurious, we would (and have) recommend it to our friends. We spent a lot of time at the Villa, the Pool and the table tennis table got well used ! I would certainly book this Villa again.

Absolutely perfect!
I can't recommend this villa enough. Loads of extra touches and all essentials provided. Views were amazing, hot tub fabulous, barbecue perfect and o many little nooks to sit in and pore irate the view. Just book because you will not regret it. If you would like to email me to ask any questions, I would be happy to answer them. Artemis and the manager Vasilis are great- when I left papers at the villa, Vasilis offered to drive them to the airport for me. Great care and such great interior and exteriors.

Cretan perfection
The villa was beautiful. Everything was immaculate and so well stocked with towels, luxury items and added extras. We shared this villa with our good friends and the children loved the pool, hanging out around the barbeque and some memorable sunsets in the hot tub! It really couldn't have been better, thank you so much Artemis and Vasilis.

Absolutely stunning in every way!!!!
When me and girlfriend walked in we both were shocked at how nice and well planned out the villa is. We had a fantastic time and this villa is worth every penny. The owner/manager is a very nice and easy to talk to guy ready to help with anything you require. I cant explain the feeling of waking up and experience Villa Rouga in all its glory surrounded by breathtaking scenery. We will definitely be going back to visit many times in the future.
