Where you will stay during your holidays in Crete is a crucial decision to make! You want to find the perfect place, and there are many factors to consider. Here are ten reasons why you will want to stay at the Amazing Villas in Crete.
1 – Location, Location, Location
Location is definitely one of the top reasons to stay at the Amazing Villas in Crete. Crete is a big island, and it takes hours to drive across it. Our villas are located in Rethymnon, which is one of the most beautiful cities in Crete. Rethymnon also happens to be right in between the other two most-visited destinations in Crete: Chania and Heraklion.

Stay at the villas, and you’ll be about an hour’s drive away to the fantastic sights Chania and Heraklion and a closer drive to Rethymnon itself which is full of incredible sights. Rethymnon boasts the prettiest Venetian Old Town in all of Europe, and it’s only a 15-minute drive away.
2– Close to the Beach
When villa guests come to Crete, much of the time, they want to experience a Cretan beach. It’s a good idea. We agree! Crete has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

The good news is that Amazing Villasin Crete is within easy reach to them. Either you can take it easy and drive to nearby beautiful beaches in Rethymnon. Or, you can take a day trip and spend the day at some stunning beaches located across the island.
3- Tucked Away but Not Too Secluded
What makes Amazing Villas in Crete even more special is that it is tucked away but not too secluded. What do we mean by that?

We’re located in Asteri Village, which is a small village in the Rethymnon region, a 15-minute drive away from the Old Town of Rethymnon. The property itself is perched on a quiet hillside which offers a feeling like you are away from it all. Yet, you can still reach various sights and other areas in Crete with ease.
4- Asteri Village
Our location in the village of Asteri is another reason to stay at the Amazing Villas in Crete. Why? It is an authentic little village.
Become part of the daily routine of the village
You can spend an afternoon poking through the local Folklore Museum, which was established by locals. It is attached to the family-run Poliou Taverna. The taverna’s open-air courtyard is magical in the summer. Cretans come from far and wide just for the local specialities.

You’ll want to eat here every day. Plus, it is just a short walk away.
5- Privacy – For Couples, Friends and Families
Staying at the Amazing Villas means you are guaranteed privacy. Each villa is separate from the other, and there are only olive trees and fruit trees immediately surrounding the area. For days, you may want to lounge by the pool to enjoy peace and quiet, read a book, sip a drink or take a nap. The villas all have plenty of room on the balconies and have several outdoor dining spaces.

This kind of privacy is perfect for all types of travellers. We’ve had couples, groups of friends and families enjoy the villas.
6- Local Flair
Another one of the best things about staying at the Amazing Villas is the comforts of a modern villa surround you with local architectural influences. We think that experiencing local flavour is essential when travelling. That’s why we made sure Cretan elements were designed in each villa.

7 – Sea and Mountain Views
It’s always a plus when you can have the best of both worlds. At the Amazing Villas in Crete, the view gives you just hat. From our properties, you can enjoy both sea views and mountain views. As you may already know, Crete is famous for its natural beauty. Our location offers guests a taste of that right from their villa windows and balconies.

8- Fantastic Private Pool
A great villa in Greece must have a great private pool. At the Amazing Villas in Crete, each villa has a full-size private pool. There are sun loungers, ample dining spaces and free spaces to relax.

9 – Close to Rethymnon
We may be biased, but Rethymnon is the best city to visit in Crete! We love the sights that are nearby. The Old Town is worth exploring, and so are the beaches, the museums, the Arkadi monastery and the beautiful villages such as Margarites, Argyropoli or Spili.

10 – We’re Family Owned
We’re run by a Cretan family who happens to be from Asteri village. That’s why we love hosting guests here – it’s our hometown. Two generations of the Skordillis family pitch in to make sure each guest has a pleasant stay. We know our island so well, so we’re happy to give advice and make sure you receive the best hospitality. We pride ourselves on offering the best.
