Villa Villa Anastasia Prines is located in a nice quiet town, with some great restaurants within walking distance!

Very nice stay, the place was perfect for the hot wave week we spent there. It was really easy to communicate with the staff at any time of the day. It was really calm and you have everything you need at a five minute walk (restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacy...) I really recommend the place!! Thanks for the stay, Florence.

We found the Villa Anastasia clean and charming inside. The outdoor space is the highlight of this property with a nice pool and pleasing outdoor courtyard with plants and evening lighting The Villa itself in my opinion is really suited for those desiring to be in a more remote village than near the heart of Rethymno. Our initial arrival at night and perception found the area run down. The neighbor hood a mixture of nice homes and vacant lots or neglected properties. For several nights dogs barked for hours making sleep difficult without earplugs While the local people and restaurants were great and friendly it took me several days to feel completey comfortable. The bathroom upstairs is also too small for anyone over 5 foot 9. This should be noted in the listing. I do not want to sound negative as the property was nice. Just not for everyone in my opinion. The property management firm needs to be more open about the listing In the end we did enjoy Crete but may have chosen something closer to the old Port

We had a lovely 10 days in Crete and will be back next year. Just not at this villa. Villa Anastasia is located centrally if you want to explore, hiring a car is a must. The villa itself is traditionally decorated and has everything you would need, bedrooms are lovely. Showers are small making it less relaxing but perfectly adequate. Living room is open plan with the kitchen and small, but it was functional and we were out every day so did not pose a problem. The garden and pool are the real gem of this villa, plenty of space and shade. Dips in the pool after our days at the beach were great, water was lovely and warm. The building next door is under construction which does create a lot of noise but this will be temporary. There are a couple of loose floor tiles that could do with repair but did not bother us, might be more of a concern if you have young children. The only issue we had was the wedding venue opposite the villa. It caters for hundreds of people and has very loud live music. On the first Sat we were there live music went on until 05:00am then as the band packed up the guests sang until 05:45am. None of my family were able to sleep. Speaking with locals this happens every/most Saturdays. I think this should be included in the villa description and at the very least, ear plugs provided with the welcome pack. We wasted the following day of our holiday catching up on sleep.
