Villa Spiridoula, Maroulas, Crete

It was a beautiful spacious well-equipped villa in a peaceful hillside location approx 15 mins drive from the center of Rethimno where there was plenty of life if you want it. The kids loved the occasional dip to the pool. Villa Spiridoula is very spacious and we were grateful for the comfort of the sitting room in the villa as the weather was unseasonably chilly at night. We do rent a hire car as we wanted to visit also other places in Crete. There is no better way to enjoy an evening meal than on the veranda of Villa Spiridoula and enjoying the incredible sunsets. We hope to return soon!

The location fully met our desires to where we could do day trips with ease and still have time to take advantage of the private pool and more local things to do. Set in beautiful countryside, the villa was very comfortable and private. We really enjoyed the outdoor spaces both around the BBQ, pool and on the terrace! We liked the morning and evening cool sea breeze while having our breakfast and dinner at the terrace and upper balcony. Also really enjoyed the sea views and sunsets from there. We had a great time at the property and were every day amazed by how lovely the places Maroulas and Rethymno are ( both reachable within a short 5-10 minutes drive) The villa is cozy, has more than everything you need, wonderful grounds, pool everything! Very satisfied that we booked this villa for our current holiday destination and we definitely book it again for the next year.

We will use your service in the future. We really felt that you cared for us and struggled for making the holiday the best ever. Thanks again to the people at Agni Travel for making this all possible - and painless. Thanks to Agni travel for postponing last years villa booking to this year due to the situation in Covid-19.

It was a perfect stay with our 2 kids. Stuff was very friendly and helpfully. Location is in quiet area but it’s necessarily to rent a car. Next tavern is 100 m. away with great food.

We holidayed in Crete and stayed at the wonderful Villa Spiridoula for 10 days in August 2019. I can’t rate the villa or Crete highly enough. From the location over looking the bay to the cleanliness of the villa and the pool everything was first rate.

We had a great time. We picked this villa as we knew it wasn’t “flash” inside but we would relax and not be overlooked etc. We felt very private in the villa and it wasn’t as remote as we had feared (2 mins up hill walk to Maroulas, 45mins down hill to Platanes) Car essential for days out - We used Lonely Planet and Trip Advisor websites to find best beaches, sights etc and saw lots of the island. Agni were great - dealt with minor niggles and trivial questions beforehand, cleaners came about every 3-4 days, excellent directions to villa. We will definitely use Agni Travel again.

This is our second summer with Agni Travel, and We are impressed by the accuracy and prompt response to any questions to you. We have recommended Agni travel to many friends. The caretaker of the villas in Maroulas is very friendly and do a great job. In general a lovely villa, and we would like to return.

Overall our holiday and dealings with Agni Travel have been of the highest standard - Thank you ! We did have one slightly disconcerting experience whereby at our villa we interchanged the position of the couches with the dining table in the living area to better facilitate watching the TV (world cup) as a family. The alternative was that would have been watching a relatively small TV from a distance - over a kitchen table. We were subsequently reprimanded by the cleaner (owner ??) for doing so !! Ironically, the couches were also sofa beds and if they had been needed (not so in our case) they would of required moving in any case ! Kind regards Mark Sheeran

Lovely villa on the outskirts of a lovely village. 2 good tavernas both do good food - our favourite was Mylopetra and they also have a mini market at the back of their taverna by the kitchen!! Beware, the walk to the tavernas may only be 100m but it is uphill!! good for coming home but you do work up an appetite walking up the hill!! There is another good taverna on the other side of the village - Armos, everything you eat is grown on their farm and is delicious. If you want a proper shop the Lidl is a 5 minute drive away. I recommend you stop here on your way to the villa to stock up as nothing is supplied as a starter pack, unless you ask for it. The area around the Lidl has everything you could need - supermarkets, butchers, tavernas, bars, hotels, hairdressers and loads of shops - good buzz around it. Didnt have 1 bad meal, even the chicken nuggets bap in the Banana Beach bar was delicious. The villa is spacious (but there was only 2 of us), the beds were comfy and had mostly everything you could need (but no toaster, you had to use the grill in the cooker oven). The pool was cleaned everyday except Sunday and the pool area was private. There is wifi in the villa but it is quite weak - not too good if you have a couple of kids wanting to use iPads etc. I had to restart it most days but I did manage to stream Netflix/Amazon Prime most of the time we used it. We also took our Echo Dot for music and this worked most of the time as well. Overall we had a lovely chilled week at Villa Spiridoula and would recommend this place to our friends and family and would return ourselves. Well done Agni, another success story.

We had a most enjoyable holiday at Villa Spiridoula and we would happily take a holiday there again. The Villa is ideally positioned and the views over Rethymno bay are superb.Due to its position the swimming pool is not overlooked by any adjacent properties which was a bonus. 10 out of 10 for service provided by your agent and the cleaners and pool man which added to the enjoyment of our holiday.

The villa was very clean and spacious. Kids spent ages playing in the pool. Villa Location was very good - thoroughly recommend staying in a traditional village rather than a touristy resort. A lovely holiday.

The view, the location, the beaches, the food, the city access...all were within easy reach from this villa and were fantastic. The decor is tasteful and warm. The beds were very comfortable. The pool and terrace area made this villa top-notch. Loved every minute of our stay.

We had a fantastic time at Villa Spiridoula and loved the house the location and the views. The villa was extremely comfortable very clean and well maintained. The pool is great and the views from the garden over the sea are stunning. We really enjoyed the privacy of the plot and the house it is not overlooked at all and the only sound around was the cicadas and the sheep The short walk into Maroulas was a real plus and the village is charming and has a number of tavernas including the fantastic Armos Bio-Farm Taverna. We had a great holiday and would definitely use Agni Travel again and recommend it to our friends.

We had a great holiday! The villa was exactly as described and was everything we had hoped for. I was also very pleased with the UK Agni Team who answered calls quickly and dealt with queries really well throughout the booking process. We would definitely use Agni again and would stay at the Villa Spiridoula again too.

All in all our holiday was one of the best we've had for a while, the villa surroundings and the lovely town of Rethymnon left us wanting to return. Thank you to all of the Agni Team for a wonderful time, we will certainly recommend you to our family and friends. Villa Spiradoula was just as we hoped it would be, everything was as described in the details. We had complete privacy and the view from the villa garden was amazing.
I can't praise the Agni team enough, we have been renting villas privately for a number of years and I can honestly say the service and backup we received from Agni Travel was the best we have ever come across, especially the directions with photographs from the airport to the villa so simple but invaluable when trying to find a villa in a rural location.

The place of villa is wonderful (you must drive perfectly to get there). The sea view is magnificent. Rethymno is very very pleasant city - the best in Crete for us.The villa itself has everything you need for your holiday.
Thank you - we find everything like in description. The villa was clean and well prepared for our arrival.

The view from the villa was stunning and we even had some birds of prey for company most days. Overall a very peaceful and relaxing holiday, just what we were looking for.

We had a wonderful time in Crete and the villa was lovely secluded and quiet. The lady who came to clean left us a bag if about 15 eggs fresh from her chickens which were absolutely fantastic and such a kind gesture. We would definitely go back to this villa as it was so relaxing after days out in the hot sun.

We spent one beautiful week with our two children (9/13) in Villa Spiridoula near Maroulas. The villa is comfortable has a nice pool and offers a beautiful sea-view. Short ways to the sea and to Rethymno nevertheless a very quiet and pleasant location.
