I stayed in Giannis Villa with family and friends. The Villa, the view, the service, everything was exceptional. I highly recommend you to book it via Etouri, they provided high class service! The owner Giannis was really caring abput out experience and always wanted to make sure we had the greatest time ever and we did! Thank you so much Giannis and Etouri. You made our holiday special.

Villa Mageia is the most wonderful holiday home for a big family party. Set across two matching villas with shared facilities, it really is the perfect place for a large party of family or friends. The owners have thought of every detail - from the well appointed kitchens to the luxurious bedrooms/bathrooms, two separate pools and a hot tub outside with comfy sun loungers. The outdoor kitchen area is superb with both gas and charcoal barbecues, sink and fridge. The addition of the multi-sports court is a great feature, particularly for the kids (although the court is too small for tennis). Set above the town of Rethymno (about a 10min drive away) its a great location to explore this area of Crete. A massive thank you to the owners for their friendly hospitality - a wonderful welcome pack on arrival helped us settle in and they were on hand at a moment's notice for any question or query. This really was a special place to celebrate a family occasion. We would wholeheartedly recommend. Cant wait to visit again!

The other reviews are so right. This place was amazing. We rented the full property for a big family vacation. The rooms were all nicely appointed, the towels were nice and soft, a/c’s worked well, they thought of every thing you could need in a kitchen for your stay….even Tupperware if you needed to put away leftovers. The outdoor space with the double pools, hot tub, FirePit and fabulous outdoor kitchen are perfect. The area is setup to make you want to spend all of your time outside. The little touches of Mageia monogramming on things and a concierge service a quick dial away on the house phone, make this a very high end property. The view is great but yet a quick straight ride down to the main road to get to places easily. Really a perfect place to spend time in Crete.

Thank you for a wonderful stay at Villa Mageia, the villa is stunning - beautiful rooms, spacious and luxurious. Lovely outdoor space just like the pictures. The fire pit was so magical on an evening. It was very apparent it is family run as there was great attention to detail from the welcome pack full of local delicacies, to the cleanliness of the entire villa. We highly recommend this fabulous villa and definitely will return in the future.

Schon bei der Ankunft am Flughafen hatten wir Kontakt mit Giannis , dem Sohn der Familie der Eigentümer . Er war dann pünktlich vor Ort in der Villa um uns zu begrüßen und alles zu erklären. In der ganzen Woche war sofort zu erreichen und immer sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit , hatte auch Ideen und nahm sich Zeit . Äußerst zuvorkommend , der beste Vermieter den man sich wünschen kann !!!! Vieeelen Dank Giannis !! Aber auch das Team von ETouri ist zu loben wegen ihrer Kompetenz und Freundlichkeit ! Rund um die Uhr! Weiter so , ihr toppt alles . Die Villa ist die bisher Beste in der wir waren, und wir hatten schon viele gesehen. In der Küche sind mehr als alle Geräte vorhanden , und es sind ja 2 Küchen ! Auch 3 Waschmaschinen welche wir aber nicht nutzten. Das Interieur ist dezent und passend auf hohem Niveau gehalten. Alles ist sehr sauber ! Mehrfach pro Woche kommt die Putzfrau, Poolreiniger und Gartenarbeit . Das tollste ist der Ausblick auf das Meer und die Berge.Rethymno ist nur 4 km entfernt, leicht zu erreichen. Um die Villa herum ist alles sehr schön angelegt. Man kann gut relaxen, viele Liegen und Plätze zum rumlümmeln. Die Ess/GrillEcke ist sehr schön mit 2 Gas-Grills und Einen für Holzkohle.Besonders praktisch : Man kann ein durchsichtiges Rolle um dies ganze Ecke herunterfahren falls es etwas zuviel Wind gibt ! Der Sportplatz bietet viel : Basketball,Tennis,Badminton,Fußball. Man kann die ganze Zeit in der Villa verbringen ohne sich zu langweilen. Aber man sollte unbedingt die Umgebung erkunden Vielen Dank noch einmal an Giannis und eTouri ! Es war eine tolle und erholsame Woche !

This is an amazing villa (well it is two villas connected by a walkway), which has a stunning modern design and all the equipment and facilities you could ask for. We were three families with teenagers and it was perfect. The villa has two swimming pools plus a hot tub but is also close to some wonderful beaches. We found excellent local tavernas and enjoyed cycling round the neighbouring villages. Kostas and Etouri could not have been more helpful and the owners were great too.

Villa Mageia was perfect for our joint 40th birthday week vacation! The property is stunning, well-maintained, fully stocked, and perfectly-located. The outdoor space is huge and provides flexibility, relaxation, and a large outdoor kitchen and dining table for all of your guests. The bedrooms and bathrooms are perfectly appointed. As amazing as the property is, the people of Crete made our holiday extra special! Giannis and his family, the owners of Mageia, made us feel like part of their family from the moment we met them. They remained at our disposal the entire week and were very responsive to any questions we had. Kostas and the entire etouri team helped us plan our week prior to our arrival. They helped create a wonderful and memorable itinerary for our guests. It was very convenient to have an in-house phone with a direct line to etouri for anything else we may have needed throughout our week. Everyone we met along our way - in town and throughout Greece - was incredibly gracious and kind. In short, etouri and Giannis' family, have created a unique and full-service vacation for a large family or group of friends. We highly recommend Mageia!

Only the highest compliments. Everything was in accordance with what you see on booking description and even better. The house was clean and modern, with all the tools and kitchen wear you can think off. I was positively surprised on how much outdoor space and different sitting areas there was and how it was divided - we had 7 children with us and thus extra space came in handy. To sum up, smart planning, very up to date facility and on top of everything, kind hosts with good English. What is there to dislike?

We stayed in Mageia Exclusive Residence in May 2021 with our 2 children and 3 other families who all also had children. Villa was wonderfully equipped and has 2 seperate pools, which were big enough for 15 people. Villa also has a separate sporting area with basketball/tennis/football court which is so good to have to organise acitivities or train. The hosts were very nice and hospitable so overall it is a wonderful place to stay with kids and friends!

The villa is equiped with everything, I mean everything you can imagine you need for a convinient stay with large families our groups of friends. A lot of patio space to stay and enjoy around the premises. Enough room with 4 families with kids to feel comfortable, to stay together or relax separately. Close to city but at the same time separated from the touristy wibe of the city. Most definately would consider going back again. Really injoyed the property to the max.
