Nous avons passe un tres bon sejour, piscine tres sympa, personnel accueillant, appartement bien equipe

The Iperion apartment represents excellent value for money. It is well-equipped and modern. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived and the cleaner, who came once a week, was thorough and pleasant. There was a fridge-full of food and other goodies waiting for us. It could hardly be easier to find, even though it is in an out-lying part of rural Crete, since the directions (in the form of a PDF file with photos) are excellent – just download it and give your phone/tablet to your passenger and you’re sorted. You can also have Google Maps talk your way there, if you have data-roaming enabled. Stavros and Stelios are two extremely helpful people who respond very quickly when contacted. Stelios came by and offered a wealth of advice about places to visit and so on. The apartment is one of a block of four, with a shared pool which has a constant depth (about 1.5 metres). For most of the year, the other three (which are privately owned) are unoccupied. The place will not be to everyone’s taste. The location is very quiet and feels pretty much isolated, being on the seaward end of a small “estate” of villa developments. You will absolutely need a car, since there is nothing much available on foot. The last couple of roads leading to the villa are narrow, steep and winding but traffic in the area is so scarce that you don’t stand much chance of encountering someone coming in the opposite direction. The lane down to the actual apartment is a very rough and steep concrete track. The apartment is very small – which you would reasonably expect, for the price – and the shower-room/toilet/laundry room (yes, there is a washing machine in there) is positively pokey. If you can bear small annoyances, such as the shower curtain brushing your knees when you sit on the toilet, you should be okay. One of the bedrooms has a double bed, which is too big for the room and prevents the outside door from opening. The other, facing the patio/pool area, has two single beds. We like to go to sleep in darkness and awake as the sun rises, so we didn’t close the rolling blinds (which are on all doors and windows). The pool lights come on at dusk and go off sometime after midnight. They do a good and annoying job of lighting up the bedroom. There should really be an option to switch them off. We solved the problem by wrapping tin-foil around the two offending lights (they’re both LED, so there was no heat risk attached to doing this). The bedrooms could really do with a mirror screwing to the wall – such as in the “dressing table” section of the wardrobe. The only mirror in the place is above the tiny sink in the bathroom and this isn’t an idea place to do your make-up or dry your hair. All in all, Iperion represents good value for money but, as I say, it won’t be suitable for everyone.

The apartment is situated in a quiet and beautiful area, while still being in a comfortable distance to Rethymnon and its various restaurants and bars. You get a distant view to the sea from the pool, all the while being surrounded by olive trees and chirping birds. The apartment itself was cleaned well and there were several goodies included in a free “welcome package”, such as fresh apples & oranges, washing powder and other useful things. We visited Crete as a group of 5 grown men, and this apartment easily had enough space for us all to spend our time here comfortably. The included WiFi, potable tap water and wonderful surroundings were a nice cherry-on-top. Our contact to the owner Stavros and his local partner Stelios was always quick, forthcoming and precise. Overall we were surprised by just how much service and comfort we were given for such a fair price. We recommend this apartment to anyone who would like to spend their time exploring the surroundings and not having to deal with inner city traffic etc

heerlijk huis met prachtig uitzicht. goede service en fijn contact met de eigenaar.alleen bij regen kan je niet buiten zitten, maar dat is schaars.

Appartement situated some 20 min from Rethymnon and the north coast, in a rural area, surrounded by olive trees, away from mass tourism. Nice view from the terrace to the sea. Nice swimming pool, shared with 3 other appartements. Lovely welcome package (fresh bread, fruit, coffee etc). Kind owner, who makes a great effort to make our stay comfortable. Our complaints about hardness of the beds and wifi quality, were resolved by the owner within a day.

We stayed at Iperion in June 2017 and the villa was great. It is a small villa but felt surprisingly spacious. The bedrooms were clean and well presented and the outside space was lovely. The communal pool was very warm and had great views over the countryside and down to the ocean. Normally on self catering holidays you are left to get on with things on your own but here Stalios came to visit us twice during our stay and gave us recommendations on what to see and do in the area. The villa was also cleaned twice in the 10 days we were there which was fantastic. The location is great if you have a car because you are about 20 minutes from the centre of Rethymnon, so you are close to the beach and town but it is nice and quiet back at he villa. Do bare in mind that the road to the villa is quite steep and bumpy so be prepared to drive on some thin roads. Overall we had a lovely holiday and would recommend this villa.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The apartment is a quiet and nice place. The view from the porch is awesome. It is a little bit hard to find, but with GPS it works quite well. we definetly recommend this place when you want to get away from the touristic places in Crete.

My husband, two children and I stayed at Villa Iperion for three weeks in July-August. Although we had clear instructions on how to get to the villa, we got a little lost upon exiting the highway but recovered our path quickly and arrived at what would be our vacation premises for the next three weeks. Upon arrival we found our fridge stocked up with the basics and that was a blessing as we could just ease into our stay at the villa before rushing to the supermarket. The Cretan Raki, a true reflection of Cretan hospitality, was divine. The breathtaking view of blue sea, the scents from the local plants in the garden, and the solitude were just what we needed to kick off our family vacation. Although the villa is on the small side it functionally contains all the required amenities to make ones stay enjoyable and comfortable. Fortunately we only had one family staying at the adjacent villa which meant the shared pool was pretty much to ourselves. Our children and their cousins, who live nearby, enjoyed it thoroughly. After a few days it literally felt like coming home from our daily adventures. The staff are so friendly and helpful, the entire company is very professional and made sure all our needs were met. Thank you Stavro, and Stelio and our wonderful cleaning lady Ida, and the always on the go maintenance man Kosta! You have all helped create a very memorable vacation for us. Please keep and eye on the two stray dogs in the area. They were inseparable and it was a pleasure to take care of them.

I had a really great time at my stay at this villa for 11 days in August. The mountainous location can be challenging to get to (make sure you prepare your route in advance), but it's a suitable price to pay for some brilliant rural scenery with olive trees, rolling hills, and the sea. The nearby town of Rethymno is perfectly placed for day trips to tourist attractions in both North Western and North Eastern parts of Crete. The apartment in the villa is well styled, very clean, and brightly lit. Cleaning lady came around to service our apartment twice during our 11 day stay, and all cleaning equipment was also provided for self service in between. Facilities at the apartment were well modern and well maintained, incuding free fast WiFI, satellite TV, coffee maker, etc. The iron was missing initially, but provided very promptly on request. An internet outage overnight was quickly resolved early in the next day. Although the pillows were very soft and good, two of the three matresses had noticeable springs and felt uncomfortable - I'd recommend that these are replaced with firmer mattresses. Patio area has a seating table, barbeque grill provided, and a swimming pool right outside. The pool seemed a bit on the small side, but it was clean and regularly serviced. There's no shallow end, so make sure you bring your armbands for younger children.
