Two words describe this villa ... 'Absolutely fantastic'!! From our first meeting with George at the arranged meeting spot to breakfast with him and Annastasia on our last morning, everything was brilliant. George's mother even left us a home cooked meal. The villa is beautiful. Just like home from home. The pool and garden area are outstanding and kept so clean. The house has everything you could ever need and is light, airy and comfortable. The bedrooms are bright and the bedding comfortable and clean. The villa was easy to find when driving and there is the added advantage of a parking spot just along the road. The taverna at the end of the road is a delight and so is the owner who made us very welcome as well as supplying tasty home cooked food. He was so helpful with any questions about the area or Crete in general. The overall area is perfect for exploring this beautiful island. Rethymnon is an absolute delight and only a short drive away. There is even a Lidl a few minutes drive away. This was a perfect holiday with treats being supplied by Annastasis. A fantastic time was had and we will definitely be coming back. I would recommend this villa to anyone - couples, families or anyone just needing a relaxing holiday in a beautiful villa in a stunning area. Absolutely 5 Star. Thank you for the privilege of staying in your beautiful house.xx

This house is beautiful and comfortable. The backyard and pool are exceptional. Pictures do not do this home justice, it really is gorgeous. The surrounding community are very welcoming and we really enjoyed out time there. In particular, the nearby restaurant has lovely outdoor dining and the owner is fantastic! From start to finish, our host was amazing. She was helpful and even left us some traditional treats to enjoy. My children loved these little surprises. I would stay again with this host in a heartbeat. Good value for money, safe, clean, and all you need.

Villa Zambia could not have been better. It was so beautiful and Anastasia and George were perfect hosts providing home made food, olive oil, fruit, salad and a lovely welcome. We would love to stay again. Absolutely fantastic xx :)

Our experience staying at House Zambia was excellent and we would highly recommend it. After booking, our communication with Anastasia was very thorough and welcoming. The detailed driving instructions with pictures were very helpful and once we arrived at the meeting point, Giorgos (Anastasia's husband) came to join us very promptly and escorted us to the property. We were greeted with fresh fruit, salad, bread and a wonderful homemade pasticcio (thanks to Giorgos' mother who lives a couple of houses away) along with a bottle of delicious raki, wine, tea, coffee, milk and chilled water which were very welcome after an early flight. Everything in the house was well thought out and equipped and we never felt we lacked anything. The outside kitchen with large barbecue area was great to have and the extra bathroom with shower meant the children weren't in and out of the house when they were wet from the pool. Towels and shower gel were provided which is very useful for travellers who are only taking hand luggage. The beds were comfortable and there are a good selection of books and leaflets about the local area. The garden is beautiful with lots of different areas to relax depending if you want sun or shade and balconies for both rooms catching the sun at both ends of the day. The village is small with one (excellent) taverna and a couple of mini markets that stock pretty much all the essentials and a prtty square to sit in and admire the view. Atsipopulos the bigger village is a 2 minute drive and Rethymno itself only 10 minutes where there is a Lidl close to the crossroads and some lovely restaurants and bars. One thing we did not realise but which was very useful is that there is a private parking space with the house which saves the worry of where to leave the car in small streets. My children thought this was the best place they had stayed and we were all very sad to leave but intend to go back again. Thank you Anastasia and Giorgos!

Our experience of Villa Zambia was fantastic! Though we had some trouble finding the villa (due to it being our first time driving on the other side of the road and arriving in darkness), once we reached the meeting point we were met with nothing but warmth and kindness from Anastasia and George, who guided us to the villa and generously provided us with a pasta dish, bread, fruit and vegetables, and wine. The villa itself is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning and private garden , as well as balconies where you can read in the sun. The villa is situated in a wonderful little village, with the superb Giannikos restaurant only down the road where you can find authentic Greek food and hospitality, and a small shop nearby which can provide fresh bread, fruit and vegetables, and the owners will help you with any queries. A warning if you're going early or late in the year - we were there in late March - bring warm clothing as even if it's warm outside, inside the house it can get quite cold, especially downstairs, the Greek houses are designed to keep you cool after all! Other than that, the villa, and in fact Crete as an island, provide a wonderful holiday destination, and you should definitely make sure to go if you have the chance!

This beautiful and secluded villa was a great place to spend a relaxing holiday. Anastasia and George made sure that we had everything we needed. They also continued to bring us treats after welcoming us with a meal and raki! We felt very at home through their hospitality.

I had stayed at the villa some years ago and was impressed by the location, standard of the villa and the care given by the owners, George and Tasoula. The return trip has been a joy, such a relaxing environment. the pool and outdoor area are private and sunfilled, with ample shade when needed. The family made us very welcome with a meal and supplies despite our late arrival. The villa is located in a small village but is only a short drive from the coast and main road. The tavernas in the village are excellent so there is no need to travel far for great food and hospitality. George and Tasoula are ideal hosts, there when needed and with an eye for their guests comfort We had a lovely holiday and would certainly recommend this villa

A lovely, well equipped home. Peaceful and private garden. A welcome host with a lovely taste of Cretain cooking, a real treat having breakfast outside on the terrace every morning. Quaint , unspoilt village with friendly locals and lovely countryside. Take your walking boots!!!!

Superb ! We had a very good stay in this house is very nice with its swimming pool and outdoor terrace ... pity we can not stay longer . Anastasia was very welcoming and we even prepared a dish the country ... excellent! The situation of the villa in a small village is perfect, in a quiet atmosphere and a surprising green environment : you really feel at home! There are shops nearby and access to main roads is easy to be able to visit different areas of Crete. I also recommend going to Giannis restaurant for the quality of its welcome and dishes ... it was worth many other restaurants on the island .

Holidays in line with expectations , village atmosphere with tavern 20 meters held by the very pleasant and interesting Giannis . tranquility assured, comfortable place , fully corresponds to the description of the ad . Hosts extremely friendly and available. recommend highly. sufficiently large pool, 1.60 m max depth. THANK YOU thank you +++
