Due to the location you need to hire a car (no public transport)

Views were spectacular, facilities were good, grounds and swimming pool was well maintained. Great family accommodation.

In die Jahre gekommen

Das Haus ist schon etwas älter und entsprechend die Einrichtung. Die Bäder sind recht alt und die Einrichtung ist in die Jahre gekommen. Zum Beispiel schließen die meisten Zimmertür nicht. Die Küchenausrüstung ist unzureichend und wurde auch auf Nachfrage nicht ergänzt. Die Umgebung ist sehr nett, vor allem die fußläufige Entfernung nach Maroulas. Allerdings wird man jede Nacht durch bellende Hunde geweckt.

It was a beautiful spacious well-equipped villa in a peaceful location approx 7 mins drive from the center of Platanes and Rethymno where you can find plenty of life and entertainment if you want it. There is an excellent beach nearby and also great restaurants and bars within a few minutes walk from the villa and the sea/beach is only 5 minutes drive away. Otherwise, the villa is cozy and rooms are comfortable with nice beddings. Couldnt fault the villa at all. We visited Bali, Georgioupoli, and Rethymno a couple of times and really enjoyed tasting delicious specialties in local tavernas there. Very satisfied that we booked this villa for our current holiday destination and we definitely book it again for the next year.

Einfach nur WOW

Unser Erwartungen wurden übertroffen, der Ausblick / Pool & die Laage bieten alles was man vom kretianischen Flair erwartet. Die Herzlichkeit mit denen uns die Dorfbewohner Maroulas begegnet sind, kann man schlecht in Worte fassen. Nach 2 Tagen fühlten wir uns fast wie Familienmitglieder. Die kleine Taverne Katarina (5 min zu Fuß entfernt) muss unbedingt besucht werden. Der Ausblick und das Geschmackserlebniss waren einmalig. Wir würden es jedem weiterempfehlen.

If you are looking for a quiet restful holiday in a private villa with perfect SEA VIEWS then this is the place for you! Great relaxed holiday at a nice quiet location, away from the main tourist strips. Villa Garifallia has a nice terrace and pool. We really enjoyed there while we were relaxing during the whole day and waited the moment to see the most beautiful sunset views. The location is also excellent for exploring other nearby places. Within only a 5-10 minute driving you are at Rethymn and Platanes, where you can enjoy their local amenities, beaches, shops, restaurants... All in all an excellent place and villa, which we highly recommend.

Great relaxed holiday at a nice quiet location. Nice terrace and pool, we enjoyed relaxing in the day and evening by the pool. We had a great time there and we were amazed by how lovely are Rethymno and Platanes. The Villa Garifallia is spotless, and has everything you need! Very satisfied that we booked this villa for our current holiday destination and we definitely book it again for the next year.

The location and the villa are perfect for a quiet relaxed holiday. Enough far from the crowd places but still near to almost everything: local places to visit, restaurants, tavernas, bars...I think that the pictures accurately reflect the property. The outside and pool area were MAGNIFICENT and we all had our own privacy given the layout of the bedrooms and bathrooms. This is the first holiday we have had when we have not visited hotel resorts- and it was great to have ended up at such a well-thought-out and well-cared-for property. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor seating area and the pool. The children loved the pool and terrace and played there almost all day which in turn gave us a break too! We also visited Rethymno and Platanes and spend a great time there: tasting local food, drinking some of the local wines, swimming, sunbathing, snorkeling, etc. I found Agni to be extremely helpful & they gave us lots of useful information & contact numbers for the local area. Looking forward to booking with them again for next year.

Hospitalité 5 étoiles

Propriété au top (si vous n'avez pas le sommeil trop léger, le réveil par les oies à 7h peut piquer), la vue + la piscine et la localisation (moyennant d'avoir un véhicule) sont juste parfaites ! De plus, l'hospitalité des crêtois nous a laissé sans mot, merci pour ces vacances que nous n'oublierons pas de si tôt !

Everything and More

The property was very well maintained and offered even more than expected. It was well laid out and offered excellent views from different aspects around the villa. It was set in a tranquil and relaxing spot. The village which was a walk away was picturesque and peaceful. The owners of the Tavernas were so welcoming along with all the people I met along the way. I would highly recommend this villa.

Great location for us as a group (two couples).It was out in the countryside which we like , but only a couple of miles from shops and restaurants. We have been hiring villas all over Europe for the last 25 years , and this was only our second visit to Greece (both via Agni travel) , and we were not disappointed ! Excellent service from everyone. Thank you.

We have just returned from the most fantastic 12 day holiday in Villa Garifallia. The villa was spotlessly clean and comfortable but it was the outside space that sets the villa apart. Gorgeous and fragrant bougainvillea framed the most breathtaking Mediterranean Sea view, ever changing and with the most glorious sunsets. We spent many a happy evening playing cards on the outside terraces both upstairs and downstairs. The pool was a very welcome oasis during the heat of the day and it too, was kept spotlessly clean by the very friendly Costos, who also worked at Katetina taverna 5mins walk from the villa. Very worth a visit to meet some super friendly and welcoming locals namely Valandes and Michael. Trips worth taking are Spinaloga, the monastery at Arkadi, and the pyschros caves although be warned very steep climb up to and down into the caves. We had an automatic car for the entire holiday which we made use of every day, even if only just for a trip to Rethymno to stroll along the beach. Would advise though a four wheel drive or at least a manual, as the roads can be very steep, somewhat challenging and not always paved!!! There is so much to discover on Crete its a magical place full of history and with wonderfully warm people. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend Villa Garifallia and Agni Travel.

Our Family of 4 had a very relaxing 10 day stay at the Villa. Maid Service was excellent and friendly. The views are stunning and the outside area surrounding the villa is what sets this property apart. Car hire was going to cost between 30 -35 Euros per day and a Taxi Transfer to Rethymno takes about 10 mins and costs 30 Euros return. We decided not to hire car as it costs about the same as taxis and we could all enjoy a drink and not worry about driving. We just stocked up on supplies before getting the taxi back at night. That said we were the only family without a car in comparison with all the families staying at the other 3 villas. I think most people would recommend having a car, but its a personal choice. You must visit the Taverna Katerina in the village. The host called Vilades is a true character, the views are wonderful and the food is great. The village is like stepping back in time and is very quite, but has a special feel to it. You get a true taste of the real Greece far removed from the tourist trail. Everybody is so very friendly. The WI-FI is OK but our Kids 16 & 14 didnt think it was consistent and didnt extend to the upstair bedrooms. Not a huge deal though. I would recommend Agni Travel and also this Villa, if you want a relaxing holiday round the pool.
