Modern family villas Sandy-Evi in Asteri, 2 buildings, private pool

In the traditional village of Asteri, only 20 minutes from the city of Rethymno, you will meet Sandy villa, a great combination of luxury, Cretan hospitality and modern design. The villa consists of 2 buildings, measures 230m2 in total and can host up to 10 persons.
The whole property and the two buildings are for private use from the guests.

The villa locates in the center of a traditional, but very peaceful village, ideal for exploring the real Cretan hospitality and tradition. However, the villa can offer to you every luxury you need to have relaxing holidays.

Sandy villa consists of 2 buildings. The big one measures 170 m2 with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living and dining room, kitchen and gym room. It can host up to 6 persons in its big bedrooms. Its balconies will guarantee to you some beautiful sunsets in the nature.

The second building of villa Sandy is a smaller building in order our villa can host bigger parties. However, it still has the luxury of the big building. It measures 55 m2, has 2 bedrooms and one bathroom and can host up to 4 persons.


On the ground floor of the big building of the villa, you will meet the big living room with two big sofas, fireplace, a big TV with satellite channels and acces to the terrace of the house. Next to the living room, there is also the dining room with a big modern table and 6 seats and a big kitchen which is fully-eqquiped. Nothing will be missing to create some special dishes during your stay. On the ground floor there is also a bathroom with shower and a gym room for the athletic visitors.

On the first floor you will meet all the 3 bedrooms. All of them have a big double bed, a huge wardrobe, television and a dressing table. On this floor you will also find a huge bathroom with a big tub and all the luxury you will need. The balconies of the first floor will offer to you an amazing view to the nature nearby, the village and the sea, as you can see by yourself in the photos.

The small buiding of the villa measures 55 m2 with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and has access to the swimming pool. It can host up to 4 persons in its bedrooms.

On the ground floor of the house, you will meet the living room with the sofas, a big TV with satellite channels and acces to the terrace of the house. Next to the living room, there is also the dining room with a big modern table and 4 seats and a big kitchen which is fully-eqquiped. Nothing will be missing to create some special dishes during your stay. On the ground floor there is also the bathroom with shower and the one bedroom which consists of two single beds.

On the loft above the kitchen you will also meet a bedroom with a double bed. Both of the bedrooms have a wardrobe and a dressing table.


The visitors of the villa will have access to the big swimming pool and sunbeds, the barbeque facilities and the garden. All of the guests can have fresh vegetables from our gardens and use them to create their traditional salads.

The location of the villa in the center of village Asteri is ideal. Asteri is a peaceful village, ideal for relaxing holidays. Only a few metres from the villa you could find traditional restaurant and coffee shops, as well as a mini market for your first needs. Stavromenos village is also only 5 minutes drive and there you can find supermarkets, gas station, ATM and everything that you will need for your stay. Our villa has also easy access to the highway of Crete, so it has easy acces from the airports of Chania and Heraklion and can help you explore most parts of our island Crete.

The houses are registered to the Greek state for short-term leases with numbers 18469 and 18482

Best time in the most lovely villa
We had the best holiday here. Such a lovely villa with great facilities in such a beautiful location. Lovely village setting, with a bar and two fab restaurants all in walking distance. The owner and his daughter were so lovely. We couldn’t get the air conditioning to work downstairs and they came out asap and fixed it. They also came to say bye on the last day which was such a lovely touch. Villas were perfect for our family as kids and parents on one villa, childless couples in the other villa. They would work really well for two families holidaying together. Crete is a lovely island with lots to do but also lovely to stay at the villa and relax by the pool. Little touches like the herb and vegetable garden were fab. Would 10% recommend and we will be back!

A slice of heaven
My family enjoyed a wonderful stay here. The villas are of an extremely high spec and the grounds are lovely. With lovely touches upon our arrival, during our stay and at the end! You really are submerged in village life and the locals are so friendly and we’re keen to give us lifts to and from the supermarket. It’s quite a walk to the beach but worth it and we always took a taxi back. The owner was wonderful and so kind visiting us on our last day. Thank you Crete you have been wonderful and if we return, I would return to Villa Sandy Evi.

Fabulous Property for 2 families
We loved our stay at Sandy & Evi villas as 2 families with teenagers. They are immaculate, the location is excellent just a short distance out of Rethymno, the pool isn't huge but is great, and the sunsets are incredible! We loved our stay! Many thanks to Maria for being so responsive to our questions and for giving us some excellent restaurant tips! Would highly recommend!

Fantastic modern villa with a warm welcome!
The villas are on a secure, quiet and clean plot on the edge of a charming village 2km from the coast. Everything lovely and clean, a great pool which is well-maintained, herb and vegetable garden for guest use and two luxurious villas sharing the plot. The smaller of the two villas is a cute little mezzanine apartment with a separate twin room, a kitchen/diner/living area and a small bathroom. The larger one is spacious, modern and has ample space and storage throughout. We could have had slightly more cooking equipment (we ended up buying kitchen knives), but otherwise it was perfect! Stelios the owner and his team are fantastic - providing help with every aspect of our stay, great communication and generous gifts on arrival, during our stay and when we left! We will definitely return and would urge you to give Sandy-Evi villas a try!

Fabulous holiday villas
Both villas are beautiful and the pool is warm all day/evening, so enjoyable. There were 9 of us staying and we had more than enough space. Stelios is the best host, came to welcome us he was very accommodating. We had a very late night flight home and bless him, he let us use the villa for the day until 7pm at no extra cost. We then left but had to go back due to leaving a mobile, when we got back to the house it had already been started to be sanitised. I would happily recommend this villa and we hope to use it again in the future.

A beautifully presented villa
We stayed. In Villas Sandy and Evi as a party of 12, (7 adults and 5 teenagers) for 10 days in August. The villas and grounds are beautifully presented - brand new and fully equipped with everything you need. We loved the pool, the table tennis and the vegetable/herb garden. A two minute walk away are 3 very different but good places to eat and drink. We loved taverna Pilou and the Romeo and Juliet restaurant. The owners and staff in both places were very friendly and helpful. The Greek night at Pilou is well worth going to! There is a beach and supermarket just 5 minutes drive or a 20 minute walk away. A slightly longer drive of ten minutes take you to more shops and beaches. Stelios is a very attentive host and met us in the villa on arrival and arranged our transfer from and to the airport. We didn’t explore the Island except to go to the beach and to Rethymnon, which is well worth a visit. We were happy in Asteri, the villa and its surrounds. Villas Sandy and Evi are two beautiful and well equipped properties, in a small friendly village: a perfect venue for a quiet holiday.

Gorgeous modern villa in a lively village
We had a fantastic stay at this villa - it's decorated to a really high standard with plenty of space and good sized bedrooms. We were 6 adults and there was plenty of space in and around the villa. The pool and terrace area is also lovely and has a built in barbecue. You do need a car for this villa, as the beach is a steep walk away - but the village has 2 good restaurants and a café all very close by. There's plenty of room for parking and you aren't overlooked at all. The beach is 5 mins drive away - there's a big Lidl about 15 mins drive away and Rethymno is very easy to reach. We also had lovely days out in Knosos and at Lake Kournas. We had a great time here and I would definitely recommend it.

Stunning 3 and 2 bedroom Villa's.
Our first impression of both Villa's was amazing, friendly welcoming family left us unexpected essentials. Villa Evy and Villa Sandy were incredible spacious and well equipped. Pool and barbecue area was again perfect sunbeds and parasols for 8 people all look as good a new. Veranda area of the lounge so comfortable also all windows have mosquito shields and black out shutters. Overall if I could give it 10 stars I would. Perfect from start to finish. Thanks again to Stelious and Maria for their hospitality and welcoming us to their Villa's.

Dream vacation
What a wonderful experience, I had never been to Greece before and I wanted to stay on one of the islands and I chose Crete because it had everything,beaches, mountain trails, nightlife in the cities,ruins for the scholar , amazing food for the foodie and a growing wine industry. The Chania wine tour is a must, as is exploring ancient monasteries and small villages. Asteri was the perfect place for us. The House was well appointed and had luscious views from the upstairs bedrooms. Stelios was extremely responsive to our needs and was so kind and welcoming that I have no difficulty recommending a stay, a retreat, a family gathering, reunion or vacation stay at this property. The people who managed it and the people of Asteri were very welcoming. We were so sorry to leave and hope to return again, Rhethynon was the nearest city15-20 minutes away both Chania airport and Heraklion were about an hour. The flight to Athens took about 50 minutes. I would strongly recommend a car to get around. My guest came from Hawaii, California,Michigan, Boston and New York, first time travelers and active ones they all said this was the most memorable and gave kudos

Very impressive, high quality villa
We stayed at both Sandy and Evi villas from the end of May. We were very impressed with all aspects, not only the quality of the accommodation but also the friendliness of the owners George and Stelios. The villas also have a great pool, a table tennis area,an outside kids play area, and vegetable and herb garden. The owners were very helpful from the beginning of the booking ensuring we had all we needed before confirming the booking. They met us on arrival and showed us around the villas and explained everything. They provided many extras such as baby cots, high chairs, some bottles of wine, water, jam, bread, cakes and even charcoal for the BBQ! We also had a small Raki each on arrival. The charcoal was even topped up halfway through the week...something we had not expected. We had a small incident one evening whereby we had locked the keys inside the villa. We called late that evening to ask if they could help us and it took just 20 minutes for George to arrive and let us in...This was VERY impressive. In summary, this is a great villa/s in a great village location and supported by great owners. I would recommend this to anybody. Thanks for a great time George and Stelios.
