Luxury rentals in Southern Aegean

Our stay at Etheas Villas was nothing short of perfect. The villa was private, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable, with a breathtaking view that made every moment feel special. Chef Spyros provided the best meals we had on the island, each one more delicious than the last. Yanni has truly thought of everything, making the entire trip seamless from the moment we landed until we took off. Every detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time. We can’t wait to book again and relive the experience!

Great villa, facilities and services

This place is just beautiful! The pictures don’t do the property justice. There is a winery on its doorstep which you can go and sit on the cliff top with a bottle of wine and watch the sun set every night if you wanted. Definitely worth hiring a car to explore as the property is pretty central. The property has a driveway as well. I would hire a car straight from the airport and google maps will get you to the property in approximately 10 minutes. There are local shops to get your groceries easily. The hosts are lovely people who respect your privacy but are also more than happy to help if you want it. Plenty of towels and sunbathing towels as well! The kitchen is well stocked with all the electrical items you would have at home. The bedrooms and bathrooms are also beautiful. Great place to entertain with friends and family, we will definitely be going back to this place!

The home was beautifully decorated. The daily cleaning was a nice bonus. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The views were amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

We had a fantastic week here - two families with 5 small children between us. The house is beautiful, spacious and private, with top-of-the-line appliances and furniture, and everything you could think of for a holiday. The pool and private beach access was perfect - one thing to be aware of is that the house and patio area have tiles which look stunning but are very slippery when wet - not a problem but something to keep in mind when kids are running in and out of the pool. The service provided by the host was amazing - daily cleaning by a wonderful and helpful maid, grocery delivery and very quick responses. We had a private chef come 3 times, which was amazing and highly recommended. We will be back!

Overall, I would highly recommend staying at the Thalassa Residence. Valia promptly addressed our inquiries, provided us with the necessary information, and delivered excellent services at the villa. Dimitris, the property manager, was readily available on-site for any immediate villa needs or questions. One of the highlights of our stay was booking Chef Kostas, whose professionalism, charm, and culinary skills made our dinners at the villa truly enjoyable. It's worth noting that there is ongoing construction behind the villa which obstructs the view, contrary to what is shown in the photos. This development, while relatively new, was unfortunately not communicated to us upon arrival. Although the area was quiet during weekends, we felt uneasy during weekdays due to construction activities near the villa. Although disappointing, it did not significantly detract from our overall experience as we found activities to do in town and around Crete. Would recommend ThinkVilla as a company.

We traveled with our 3 adult children and daughter-in-law. The patio is exceptional. It’s large with spectacular views. Homes bright and spacious. Our host was exceptional. We could not have asked for anything more!!

We had an incredible time at the Villa! It’s a beautiful property with great amenities. Bruno the host was so kind and accommodating during our stay. Communication was great and he always responded in a timely manner to any questions or concerns we had. The house keeping staff was so wonderful and went above and beyond for my family and I. I’d definitely recommend this Villa!!

We recently held our company offsite at Villa Heora in Rethymno, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The villa itself is stunning, nestled in a fantastic location that combines privacy with easy access to local attractions. Although there was an additional fee to heat the pool, it proved to be completely worth it given the chilly weather, allowing us to enjoy a warm, relaxing swim. A short drive took us to the charming old town of Rethymno, where we indulged in some of the best local cuisine at delightful restaurants. Our host, Giorgos, was exemplary—always available and quick to respond to any of our queries or needs. His hospitality made our stay comfortable and seamless. We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Villa Heora. It provided the perfect setting for both work and relaxation, making our offsite truly memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special getaway on Crete!
