Beautiful home

The property was very nice overall. The air conditioning worked well and all the bedrooms were as advertised. The pool and hot tub were also quite nice. The air conditioning is connected to door sensors so you'll need to get used to keeping the doors closed or cracked. In addition, the doors can't be opened from the outside which was a bit unusual.

Our Family Holiday at The Villa Gerani Hill - Sivas in Rethymno, Crete

An absolutely amazing property which was of exceptional quality. Beautiful grounds and wonderful pool. It really did surpass all expectations. All of our needs and far more were catered for, we could not have asked for better service from all who were involved in looking after us. The owners were dedicated to making us feel welcome providing us with cakes and pizzas and pastries. Everyone went above and beyond to make our stay special. Etouri were exceptional. I have never had the pleasure of dealing with so many people whose aim was complete customer satisfaction. Absolutely amazing! My husband and I wanted to give our family a summer holiday where we could all be together, enjoy each other’s company in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere and where we could feel at ease and have fun. Our stay at The Villa Gerani Hill - Sivas provided all of the above and far more. It certainly was the holiday of a lifetime. Thank you to everyone involved in making this so special. Julie H

A wonderful holiday

The villa is amazing, in an ideal location, it has all the facilities you need for all ages. We have stayed in many villas over the year but this was the best by far, but it has to be said that it was the people involved in the villa who made the difference, they were all universally friendly, helpful and kind.

Wonderful Villa! Group of 11 celebrating a big birthday. Everything was perfect!!

The Villa is just as the pictures show- beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed every moment we spent there. Very short drive to town, restaurants and beaches. Owners and staff was excellent. We could not ask for anything that they did not immediately take care of-reservations, massage and tours. Looking forward to going back!!!

A relaxing luxurious stay

This is a fabulous villa in a fabulous location, perfect for our large group of 12 people. Every little thing that you could want has been thought about and provided. The bbq area is my favourite, with built in bbq and wood oven. The villa was spotless with a cleaner visiting daily and linen changed every two days. A fabulous greek experience.

Amazing property

The villa was absolutely incredible. A wonderful property that is incredibly well maintained, with tons of options on site, especially for kids. We had 5 kids ranging from 1.5 to 14 and they all had things to do -- tennis, pool, basketball, picking veggies, chickens etc. There are fresh veggies and eggs on the property and sheep just outside. And the location is great. Close to Rethymno but away from any bustle. And the etouri folks and owner are super responsive and helpful. 5 stars! Would stay again.

Exceeded Expectations

We were welcomed to the property by Mr P and Effie. Everything was sparking and our welcome package excellent, not to mention the fresh eggs and veg each day collected from the property and surprise packages arriving with Mr P. We loved the villa and all the facilities were fantastic and our teenagers were never bored in fact did not want to leave. The view is breathtaking and all the shops and restaurants are within easy reach. We had the most amazing time and the weather also played its part, wall to wall blue skies for 7 days. Thank you all for a truly memorable week.

Best places you can find in Crete

14 people from Sweden rented the house for a week. We have rented plenty of houses before but the was by far the best experience any of us had. The house was beatuiful and the services was perfection. Etouri was really serices minded and supported us all the way. (we even got free cake, beers, whine etc) I would strongly recommend anyone to spend a week or more in this house with Etouri performing the service

This beautiful villa and property is absolutely gorgeous but what made our stay very special was everyone around us that made sure to give you the best experience from start to end. From the lovely host family that couldn’t be more sweet and generous to us to the vacation home agency that did everything in their way to maximize our stay in Crete. A very well maintained house in charming and private setting. The pictures are great but the experience much better. Both kids and adults loved it, could easily have stayed another week! Make sure to visit the restaurant Staras in Gerani. Would love to come back again. Love, Ericsson family

Spacious Luxury Accommodation

We were very impressed with the overall appearance of the property upon arrival and the welcome party that we had from Mr and Mrs Petros, Costas and team. They ensured that we were very happy with everything and were very generous throughout our stay. The accommodation was very spacious for our party of 12 and decorated to a high standard. Lots of thought given to providing extras for our stay and we enjoyed having the chickens in the back garden to collect eggs on a daily basis and the vegetable garden to feast on. We enjoyed the BBQ area at night and hosted our own Cretian Olympics in the lovely pool and tennis court. Something for everyone at this property and we were overwhelmed with the generosity of Mr Petros.

Fabulous villa in a stunning location

Gerani Hill is a beautiful villa, about 20 minutes walk from the lovely village of Gerani, where you will find tavernas, and a small supermarket. The villa is stylish and comfortable. It is as beautiful as the photos show! It was cleaned several times in the week we were there. We were a group of five couples and there was plenty of room for us all, and still to have our own space. Petros, the owner looked after us superbly. We experienced the best of Cretan hospitality, and had a classic village Greek meal with our wonderful host! Thanks also to Eleni, from etouri who communicated with us, offering reliable car hire and advice. We all had a superb stay at Gerani Hill, and we would not hesitate to recommend it.

A splendid villa

A secluded and majestic location with a beautiful sea view set in lovely well maintained gardens. Fresh eggs from the chickens. Tomatoes and aubergines were provided. The villa is very well appointed with marble floors and air conditioned rooms. The villa is fully equipped with very good poolside furniture a brilliant barbecue area, deep pool and a small tennis court. There are many areas outside with sofas and shaded spots with chairs/beds. The local village (Gerani) has a superb baker, good taverna and mini markets one with a butcher. Rethymon is only 10mins away with a historic old town and many good restaurants.

Fabulous

As a group of 12 adults and 3 young children we had the BEST holiday at Gerani Hill. There was so much space for everyone to have their own privacy but equally amazing social spaces. It feels so remote as you can’t see another property - just a stunning sea view, but step outside and you’re on the outskirts of a lovely village with great tavernas, a pharmacy and a couple of friendly small supermarkets. The owners were lovely and Robert from Etouri was excellent, really friendly, responsive and efficient. The children adored the villa, feeding the chickens, collecting the vegetables but mainly just swimming like fish all day in the lovely pool. We didn’t want to leave and would love to return!
