Fotinari Villa I is a part of the Fotinari Villas complex that is situated along the southern coast of Crete in Plakias. It is within walking distance of the beach with dazzling frontal sea views. It is ideally situated, being very near the most amazing beaches in Rethymno, as well as the amenities, restaurants, and bars around the Plakias area. Right below the Villa there are two adjacent small beaches, both within walking distance, which are not organized, but we will provide umbrellas and portable sun beds to our guests, for when you want to walk there. Fotinari Villa is also the ideal base to explore the natural south coast of Crete as it is close to numerous other spectacular beaches as well as close to amenities.

Etwas Sommer nachgeholt

Haus und Lage sind wunderbar, es ist alles, wie beschrieben. Die Aussicht ist grandios. Vom Haus ist man in ca. 5 Minuten zu Fuss an einer kleinen Badebucht, wo man sofort schnorcheln kann. Größere Strände sind mit dem Auto in wenigen Minuten erreichbar. Zur nächsten Taverne sind es schon ca. 2 Kilometer. Wir sind zum Essen teilweise gelaufen, mal gefahren und auch mal mit dem Taxi zurück. Es gibt aller paar Tage, ich glaube aller 3, einen Reinigungsservice, frische Handtücher und Bettwäsche. Es gibt viele Zusatzangebote, die man sich zusätzlich buchen kann, also im Haus bekochen lassen etc., wir haben das aber nicht genutzt. Wir können das Objekt sehr empfehlen.

Amazing vacation!

Staying at Fotinari Villa I was a true honour. Its a bit out of town and offers relaxation and a get-away from everyday life. Beautiful view, an excellent house that has pretty much everything you need, and fantastic service from Etouri that manages the service. Id recommend having a car staying here, and then this is pretty much a perfect vacation!
