Villa Limeri ist ein wahres Jewel in der inneren Kreta

How to put into words how this stay made us feel? Like we didn’t ever, ever want to leave! First, even though we loved the pictures, the space inside was even better. And the views off the balcony? Unbelievably peaceful, serene, mesmerizing…we just fell in love with it. Villa Limeri became our home base for just over a week and while we enjoyed going out and about to the south side of the island, ... more

The most amazing view in the world. Our stay at the villa was wonderful! We were able to relax immediately; it was quiet and peaceful, and the surrounding nature is breathtaking! Great tavernas are within a short drive.

Fantastic house! Breathtaking view. Holiday feeling reached within 5 minutes. Very friendly introduction to all rooms. Easily accessible and within a short distance of several beautiful places. Really recommended!

Me, my wife and our two teenagers stayed for one week in mid-April in Limeri Villa in Monopari, and had an absolutely wonderful time. The weather was perfect and all of Crete was in full bloom. We all fell deeply in love with the Island! The villa was perfect for our needs - more than we expected. The stone house itself is very spacious and is built in a genuine "Cretan" style, and has all commodi... more

Better than the pictures. The house is beautiful and the location unparalleled with mountains on all sides, sheep and goat pastures as far as the eyes can see. Incredible views no matter which way you look and at all times of the day and night…wonderful for star gazing. The pool was perfect for a dip anytime of day. The kitchen is set up beautifully with lots of staples as well as a welcome bowl o... more

Beautiful house in the most stunning location. The views took my breath away every morning. It was so peaceful and tranquil - a great place for a total reset. The pool was fantastic too. We cooked seafood on the BBQ and ate our breakfast on the balcony every morning. The perfect vantage point to watch the sunrise and sunset - what a treat! One of the best holidays we’ve been on. We will be... more

Oh my goodness a piece of heaven… The villa in reality looks even better than the amazing photographs… The views were spectacular. The home itself was clean beautifully appointed ,spacious with everything you could need in terms of a well-stocked Kitchen ,entertainment and the amazing pool which was looked after so well ..And maintained throughout our visit regularly… It’s a very private place you... more

Great host and really great house! The whole package is highly recommended!

Beautiful villa.! Just what we were looking for our week in Crete.

Manos' place, Villa Limeri, was so lovely. We stayed there with our three teenagers for 2 weeks. If you're looking for a real sense of what it's like to live in the Cretan countryside and mountains, then this is for you. It was our first time visiting Crete and this villa is a great location for exploring the north and south coasts as you're pretty much in the centre of the island. Jenny and her m... more

Rustic charm, comfortable and spacious villa with great views of the Cretan countryside. Ideal for a slow and peaceful holiday experience. If booking for a larger group, keep in mind that two of the bedrooms have queen-sized beds, but one of them is upstairs and its bathroom can feel a bit cramped compared to the very spacious one downstairs. Perfect location with easy access to both Rethymno (25 ... more

We had a great holiday. It's a very special place - beautiful, peaceful and private. From the balcony, we watched the sun rise each morning and the sun go down each evening, enjoying the wonderful view over the valley...listening to the sound of sheep & goat bells and cicadas, and watching vultures, peregrines and swallows. In the heat of the day, the pool area is perfect, with always somewhere sh... more

Spacious and stylish holiday home, very private, no neighbors, very quiet, remote but still within easy reach to shopping (Rethymno 30min), beautiful beaches in the south of Crete (e.g. Plakias 30min) and plenty of village tavernas. Staff attended discreetly to the pool and cleaning every two days. All rooms have excellent mosquito nets at the windows. Views of the mountains is excellent. Kitchen ... more

An amazing house and a stunning location, this was all we hoped it would be and more. The mountain views from the terrace and pool were spectacular and we were happy to simply sit and soak up the surroundings. An easy drive to Rethymno and other sites on the north coast, but also an enjoyable drive to the stunning beaches on the south coast. Sadly no restaurants in walking distance, but that is th... more

Wunderbarer Aufenthalt in den Bergen, umgeben vom Glockengebimmel der Ziegen und dem Gesang der Vögel. Es hätte nicht schöner sein können. Es gab Platz um sich auszubreiten, zu entspannen, gemeinsam zu kochen, einfach schön. Ich bin ganz beseelt. War nicht leicht diesen Ort wieder zu verlassen.

Of all the places we have stayed in our 50+ years of travel, Limeri Villa was our favorite setting. Every morning we sat on the deck with our tea, watched the sun come up over the mountains and the circling hawks, listened to the bells and bleating of goats and sheep, smelled the sweet, fresh Cretan air. At night we joined locals for wonderful meals and conversation at the nearby tavernas. Afterno... more

Very nice and space villa, with a stunning view from there terrace, very quiet and peaceful, nice pool. Just over five minutes from the nearest village where one can eat typical Creta food in a "Taverna", and shop for basic needs. Well paved roads lead to gorges for good hiking, picturesque villages beaches or Rethymno. The information provided was very useful for getting around and renting a vehi... more

The villa was gorgeously situated in the mountains - it was the perfect, secluded spot for a relaxing getaway. I would recommend the villa for groups wishing to unwind and enjoy nature. Rethymno and local beaches were also easily reachable by car. We really appreciated the cleaning staff who came in multiple times during our stay; they kept the place pristine without disturbing us. Thank you, Mano... more

We had a lovely stay in this villa for our holidays in Greece. The only thing you can hear are the crickets and the sound of the goat's bells. it's very relaxing. And the view on the mountain is Amazing. The outdoor space under the shadow of the tree is awesome to have dinner and watch the sunset. The only 2 negative things I would say would be : the beds were too soft for me and the aircon wasn't... more

We have had a fantastic 10-day vacation at Villa Limeri. It is a very lovely house, located in a very quiet and peaceful area, with an absolutely amazing view of the mountains and olive grove. Our experience of the house completely lives up to the description on Airbnb. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The owner often came to sweep the terraces and clean the pool, which we gr... more

Superbe vue , grande maison, piscine agréable , endroit très calme .

Very quiet, remote location, not really suitable for young children, but perfect for a relaxing holiday - exactly as described and good value - visiting pool cleaner / cleaners very polite and thorough.

The house is superb and what about the landscape!! Lost in the mountains you can observe and hear the herds of goats and sheep moving around, seeing the sun set over the mountains, it's idyllic! You are in the middle of nature so you have to have in mind that there can be all kinds of insects, including ants and mosquitoes! But nothing likely to taint your stay! Thanks to Manos for his great respo... more

Absolutely fantastic stay. Amazing private villa on Crete. Would return again in a heartbeat.

We stayed with our family 10days at the villa and loved the private location with that amazing view. The house was super lovely, very clean and we had everything we needed for our stay. We could always reach someone if we needed anything and always got help super quick. Supermarkets, restaurants, a bakery and a pharmacy are within a 15-20min car ride. We’d definitely come back next time we’re on C... more

Villa Limeri offers great views and a very quiet atmosphere with plenty of space. We particularly loved the big terrace with mountain views for dinner and the spacious living room with plenty of light coming in from the huge windows. My main concern as a mother of 2 young kids (2.5 and 4 years old) was the lack of security around major drop-off points. The wall around the terrace is extremely ... more

Everything just perfect

Fantastic Location, wonderful views, peaceful private dramatic location, overall we enjoyed our stay despite frustrations with the property. Building itself is beautiful and well designed and stylishly renovated. Photos on this site show it in a very favourable light. Furnishings are a liitle poor, 5 loungers for a villa sleeping 7? broken parasol, broken tables. There is a fine line between ecle... more

We were a group of five friends and stayed for a week. The house and location was amazing. Quite remote and little that could be walked to on foot but the views from both terraces and the pool were worth it! No neighbours too close by, you can just hear the goats being herded and a lot of cicada bugs in the trees, especially in the morning, but you get used to the sounds haha. The house is really ... more

We highly recommend Villa Limeri! It is incredibly peaceful and beautiful! Whether reading on the comfortable outdoor sofa or relaxing by the pool while overlooking the breathtaking landscape or enjoying the interior of the wonderful villa, special memories were made! The location makes it enticing to visit both the north or south side of Crete which was a tremendous benefit as we wanted a qui... more

Es ist das Paradies! Nur das Klingel der Glocken der Schafe oder Ziegen unterbricht die Stille. Sehr gute Siebträger Espressomaschine. Nächster Einkauf ca. 10 Min. mit Auto. Nächster Strand ca. 25 Min. Keine Nachbarn. Nicht geeignet für ältere Menschen die nicht trittsicher sind, da viele Treppen und/oder Stufen ohne Geländer. Wir haben es sehr genossen. Ein Ort der Ruhe!

Manos has been providing us with additional information on the house, the area and the island from the moment we booked. The information on the house was accurate, helpful and nice to have upfront. Also nice was the information on possible additional services that were available through his agency. All communication and follow up was quick and clear. In short, nice and professional.

La maison est spacieuse, lumineuse, très bien équipée et confortable, dans un paysage somptueux. Depuis la grande terrasse, on peux admirer un environnement bucolique et profiter d'un calme absolu. Seuls les chants d'oiseaux et les clochettes de moutons et de chèvres interrompent le silence. La piscine est très bien entretenue ; nous avons même pu nous baigner en ce début d'avril ! Lors des soirée... more

Es ist ein wunderschönes Haus mit einer ausgesprochen tollen Lage in den Bergen. Uns hat der Blick von der Terrasse jeden Morgen und Abend erfreut. Das Hau ist sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet. Alles wie Inder Beschreibung. Wir haben uns sehr Wohlgefühl und kommen gerne wieder. Die Kommunikation war zuverlässig und herzlich. Auch die Begrüßung, Restaurantempfehlungen und Autovermietungsvermittlzng... more

Вилла очень атмосферная, виды просто потрясающие! Кухня небольшая, но готовить было комфортно! Наши завтраки на улице были волшебными! Спасибо за гостеприимство!

If you're looking to get away from your daily routine, then this is the place for you. With breathtaking views, endless mountains on all sides, and a perfect cool breeze, this retreat is one of the nicest and most well-equipped you will find in Crete. We are still amazed by our stay in Nimeri Villa. There are chills all over... We can't wait to spend yet another day there :) Thank you, Jenny and A... more

Fantastic location. For everyone who is looking for peace and quiet. No neighbour, exept shephards with sheeps and ghoats, pure nature. Nevertheless, both coasts can be reached in a reasonable time. Best opportunities for hiking, cultural highlights, villages worth seeing. Shopping: 20 minutes to Rethymnon. Very helpful and great hosts, every wish is met. The house and the garden are huge, you hav... more

We had a really fantastic stay at this villa. We are a family of four, with two children under five, and we all loved the space inside the villa (which could easily take another family), the veranda and the pool which, while shallow (1m?) for adults, is still a perfect plunge pool for cooling down and ideal for anyone with kids learning to swim. Little ones may also need to be watched near the ste... more

we had a great time at this quiet villa with magnificent view of the mountains and the sound of goat bells and cicadas. The house is nice and comfortable and we could found everything needed to cook great dinners taken in the peaceful scenary at sunset. Our hosts were very nice and helpful. We recommend this villa for families who seek relaxing time in nature. (yet you are only 15 minutes drive fr... more

Our stay at Limeri was excellent. It’s a beautiful spacious house with stunning views. Manos, Maria and her father were so accommodating and gave us some great recommendations on local restaurants, beaches, butchers and the fish market.

The place is very peaceful and quite. The view is amazing. Car is definitely needed. Hosts were perfect. Highly recommend.

It was wonderful at Villa Limeri. The house is as beautiful as on the photos. Of course the Villa and its interior is rustic but that is its charm and it was very clean. From the terrace you have a wonderful view on the mountains and at the pool you have pure silence and privacy. The agent Manos helped in every case and also the host Maria and her father were brilliant and always responsive. Tha... more

We stayed here for a week with the three of us (my wife and child of approx. 2.5 years old). We had a good welcome. It was a very beautifull villa with everything you need and a quite location in the middle of nature. When you enter the gate you have to drive a bit up to get to the villa. The only thing is that we felt scary and uncomfortable in the night because you are all alone on this high pl... more

Wir hatten einen unglaublich schönen Aufenthalt in Marias Villa. Begrüßt hat uns ihr Vater und in gebrochenem aber verständlichem Englisch die Vorzüge der Villa präsentiert. Der Ausblick vom Balkon war gigantisch. Für die morgendliche Meditation oder Yoga Session perfekt geeignet, da hier wirklich sehr viel Platz auch für mehrere Personen vorhanden ist. Es war sehr ruhig und für Leute die etwas au... more

Simply exquisite. Our own little paradise away from the noise and tourists. Nestled in the gorgeous mountains, this stunning and luxurious villa has breathtaking views and enough space for a large family. The service was wonderful, with shopping in the fridge in arrival and a wealth of helpful information provided to us ahead of our stay. Thank you to the hosts.

Nous avons passé une semaine merveilleuse dans cette maison dont la situation est tout à fait exceptionnelle, face à un magnifique panorama où on peut assister tout au long de la journée aux défilés des brebis et des chèvres. On se sent loin des foules des plagistes. La maison est bien faite, très pratique, autour d'un très grand living où le paysage est omniprésent. Un séjour idéal pour ceux qui ... more

Had a great 2 weeks here. very quiet and peaceful. Nice family who own the property. Well organised by Manos.

Nicest place to escape from everyday life! We loved it.

10 out of 10: Our stay at the Villa Limeri was an absolute delight. The owner Andreas, his daughter Maria and friend Vasilis were utmost helpful and gave us great tipps for some of the highlights this area has to offer. Questions were promplty answered and they did more than we ever expected, to make our stay pleasurable. The house was spotless, the beds comfy and big and the Welcome drink greatly... more

We spent a wonderful 10 days in this stunning mountain top villa. Andreas and Maria were very welcoming on our arrival and Manos and the team at CreteVillas4U were brilliant (I wouldn’t hesitate to book through this company again). If you are looking for peace and tranquility with just the sounds of nature around you (cicadas, goat bells and the occasional goat herder call) then this is the place ... more

The property and views were amazing more than we could have expected. Maria was brilliant We loved staying at Limeri it was perfect for relaxing and enjoying our families needs. The views were amazing, sounds of goat bells and wildlife made it such a special place. The star gazing on the vast veranda was spectacular. We loved Rocky the very friendly dog which guarded us from down the hill. No b... more

Lovely little gem of a place, not overlooked and beautiful views, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

We received a very warm welcome from the owner and his family. They were always available if needed. The house itself has wonderful views of the countryside and has everything you need, just as if u were at home. We arrived in June and the weather was very warm. It was great to escape into the pool although unheated because of the summer temperatures it was lovely. If your looking to escape fr... more

Limeri Villa was such a lovely place to spend our time in Crete! Up in the hills among the shepherds, it was an idyllic, peaceful home for us to relax after spending our days exploring Crete. The views are incredible and the villa itself is elegantly designed. We had everything we needed, including fresh eggs, milk, and yoghurt kindly delivered from a local farm courtesy of the owner. We thoroughl... more

Limeri villa is very spacious and extremely comfortable. It was very clean when we arrived and we were met by the owners who were very welcoming. The picture of the swimming pool shown on the website is inaccurate. A new terrace has been added giving a fabulous sitting/eating area under the trees over looking the pool. There is a large BBQ with a good range of cooking equipment. The views fro... more

A true jewel inside the hills. You can listen to the sounds of sheep and goats and enjoy the georgous views. So much room inside and outside! Fully equipped with lots of facilities, lots of towels and super clean bed linen. Maria and Andreas welcomed us warmly and Andreas looked after the outside area perfectly! The only downside was that we had to always keep an eye on our two smallest travellers... more

We rented this house for four weeks. Andreas was a gracious host, who welcomed us with local produce and raki when we arrived. The house is quite nice and fully functional, and the views are absolutely stunning. We live in a city and it was really nice for us and our three year old daughter to spend time in a rural setting [the sheep with their tinkling bells were a huge highlight for her!]. It wa... more

Fantastisk hus med en vidunderlig beliggenhed i bjergene. Meget søde og hjælpsomme værter.

We have just returned from a wonderful weeks stay at Villa Limeri and wish we could still be there! (We are a family of four with two kids aged 7) The villa itself is very impressive. As soon as you walk in you are met with the most amazing view, a real wow factor. The ground floor has a double bedroom, large bathroom (with washing machine - washing powder/detergent all provided) and a huge double... more

Belle destination Un peu éloigné des plages du sud il faut compter 1h00 pour y acceder Bien pour 6 personnes

La maison est très agréable, nous sommes restés 10 jours et c’était vraiment parfait. Le point de vue depuis la maison est magique, la piscine est suffisament grande. Le terrain entourrant la maison est grand. La maison se situe dans un petit village très tranquille. Aucun vis avis. Endroit vraiment très tranquille.

This villa is perfect. Stunning scenery and ambiance. So peaceful. Perfect in every way to get total calm. The stars were amazing, the roaming goats delightful, the views inspirational and the pool a delight. Lovely and spacious. Great service and communication. A true treat. Thanks.

In der Nähe von Rethymno mit himmlischer Ruhe Wir kamen um ca. 22:30 Uhr in der Villa Limeri an. Mit den GPS-Daten, die wir von Manos erhalten hatten, war sie auch nachts problemlos zu finden. Uns erwartete der Besitzer Andreas mit seiner Tochter Maria. Die Begrüssung war sehr herzlich und ein Begrüssungs-Apéro nach Griechischer Art (Käse, Oliven, Tomaten, Brot, Trauben und Raki) wartete auf u... more

We enjoyed the location and peaceful setting, if anything the outside space was better that is captured in the pictures. There is a balcony (not suitable for toddlers) out from the kitchen for a meal as the sun sets, and the lower terraces with outside chairs at various levels. Pool was a cool, but that is what you need when temperatures soar. Crete took a lot of driving to get to a variety of lo... more

We were one week in the villa Limeri (two adults and two children - age 2 and 7). The villa had everything what we needed. Was very nice designed and placed so great, that we could have a breakfest at the terrace with the great vier over the mountains. It is very quiet area with only herds of sheeps spoiling the silence. The pool at the villa was also clean and well maintained. The location is per... more

We spent two weeks at Villa Limeri. The house is a lifetime's dream of Andreas who built it (and is still building around it) for the last 12 years, creating an impressive three bedroom / two bathroom house with a over 60sqm living room/kitchen overlooking one of the magnificent valleys between Réthymnon and Plakias. The house is totally isolated, on top of a valley around 100 meters below and a b... more

Lovely house in a fantastic location, only half an hour from Rethymno but in the peace and tranquility of the mountains. The downstairs living area is amazing, with incredible views on all sides. The kitchen is well equipped and Manos and colleagues made us feel incredibly welcome - just a shame we didn't manage to meet Manos in the flesh (due to our mistake!). The information on local sights and ... more

The villa was as brilliant as the pictures showed. Everything was clean and we were met at the house upon arrival and showed around. All the facilities were to a really high standard. We were given recommendations for where to eat and the ones we tried all turned out to be delicious. The views and surrounding countryside was completely idilic and was perfect for a week get away. The southern coast... more

Fabulous house in the campaign at 15 min from rethymno. We were 6 with my child (3) and my mother (1) (80 years old). The house is very comfortable, very spacious and with all utilities needed (clim, tv, etc..) The view is fantastic, no neighbourgh. it's very quiet (except sheeps and the song of cigadas : we are in crete !!). Just 2 precisions : - it's not a house for very Young childs (not... more

We spent a wonderful week at Villa Limeri, enjoying Manos' and Andreas' kind hospitality. The villa itself is something quite special both inside and out - impeccably maintained with spectacular views all around. Amazing views of the hills and mountains by day and the stars at night. A real retreat for those that like to get away from it all. (Posted on Tripadvisor)

Even thought we come from Crete, we where looking for a place to chill and relax. And we found it! Villa Limeri was exacly what we where looking for. The panoramic view from the villa is the highlight of our stay and also the piece and quiet that is offering is unique. Furthurmore at night there is no lights around but only the villas which make very romantc atmosphaire. Adreas and Manos was there... more

exceptionally beautiful villa, situated in a private area. perfect for getaways with your family, friends or just a peaceful couples retreat. Manos is an amazing host, ever so helpful providing us with directions, suggestions for places to see, eat and even board games. i would go as far as to say the villa is better than advertised as in reality the high ceilings and brilliant decor mean it is mu... more

Villa Limeri is a beautiful building-built from solid local stone, and stylishly decorated with an epic, architectural, modern feel. The location is extraordinary-perched on top of the valley overlooking mountains and goat pastures. The windows are huge and give a panoramic view which is wonderful to wake up to. At night you can only hear the sound of goat bells. I found the hospitality and leve... more
