Rethymnon is the capital of the prefecture of the same name. It lies between the other two large towns - Herakleion to the east (at a distance of 80 kms.) and Chania to the west (at a distance of 60 kms).
Rethymno City is really close. Small but beautiful and authentic in every aspect, Rethymno will give you the chance to come close to the Cretan culture and make you realize why Cretan hospitality is so famous. One thing is for sure: you will be coming back to Rethymno. As a favorite local songwriter put it “Rethymno is not the city you go; it is the city you go back”.
Rethymnon is a blend of modern and old-time dignity and charm. It has a population of about 20,000 inhabitants and is the administrative and commercial centre of the prefecture, as well as a communications centre. It is well provided with travellers facilities and prides itself on its cultural activity and its significant presence in the general cultural life of the island, much of which is centred around the Faculty of Letters of the University of Crete, established here.
Artistic events are regularly organized, as are exhibitions, plays, concerts and lectures. Rethymnon is linked by bus with the main towns and villages of the prefecture and also with Herakleion and Chania.

A car is recommended for your transportation. We can organize a transfer in order to come to the villa and the day after rental cars can be delivered at the property (extra charge).

Beautiful Villa Laga

If you are a large party, and you want to be away from the crowds, this Villa is Ideal. we were 3 families of 6 adults and 3 children and each family had its own apartment, but lots of communal areas to all get together. The pool and BBQ area are perfect and because of this it was not an issue to be a little way away from the towns and beaches. we had a super family time in this peaceful place, where the children could make as much noise as they liked! we loved it. Also the owner and the agent could not have been more helpful. Sue. August 2019

Family Holiday at a fantastic villa

What can I say? The Villa was fabulous - ideal for a family of 10 (6 adults and 4 kids). The Villa was absolutely massive and had plenty of space for all of us. The pool was lovely, the BBQ area was great for a social meal or BBQ (and a game of cards). Location wise the Villa was about 9-10km north of the town of Rethymnon which was far enough away to feel you are very secluded but close enough to reach the big super markets. The Villa owner visited everyday and was very friendly. Menios was absolutely superb and helped us organise some fabulous day trips (private boat trip, Baja Beach club day etc). Overall, we couldn’t fault the Villa or service. We would visit again and would highly recommend.

Lovely villa, great bbq and pool, perfect location

We had a lovely stay at Villa Laga. There were two families of five (6 children) and the accommodation was ideal. Easy to spend all day lazing by the pool and having a nice bbq or handy base to explore Crete. Rethymno only a 25 minute drive down the hillside for great shops and restaurants. Highly recommended!

Great stay!

Our family spent almost a week at this wonderful property. The villa is spacious, clean and well maintained. It could use some updates and additional kitchen ware if you plan on cooking. It is.located in a quiet and peaceful area. The pool area is wonderful and provided a great area to relax. The owner was very nice. Manos the manager was fantastic!!! He responded immediately to every question or request. He provided valuable recommendations for sights and food. Thank you both for a great and memorable vacation in your beautiful country and villa!

Great relaxing family stay

Lovely stay for 6 adults and 3 young children in villa laga. Everything in the villa was as good or better than we expected. Everything clean on arrival and swimming pool was pristine throughout. Great spread of food and a full fridge met us on arrival, as well as a shot of raki! House was in a great state of repair with nice furniture and well equipped kitchens. Nikos (owner) popped by every day to water plants and do light maintenance, always saying a cheery hello, good or no problem (amazing how you can hold a conversation with so few words of English!) Cleaning was done on Thursday. We tried both taverna faragi and taverna hovoli, both worth a visit! It was great being able to make as much noise as we wanted and know that we wouldn’t disturb our neighbours (or vice versa!)

Great spacious villa with welcoming and helpful staff

We, a party of 11 family and friends, had a wonderful time at this lovely villa. It is really spacious and could easily fit more than 11 if you're willing to share rooms - equally a group made up of 2 or 3 small families could easily have a holiday where they were able to enjoy private space. The house is almost made up of several apartments with their own kitchens, bathrooms and living areas as well as the bedrooms. There is also great communal space out by the large pool and the barbecue and outdoor dining area are wonderful. Throughout the stay the owner and agent were extremely friendly and helpful, on hand whenever we needed them to give recommendations and answer any questions. The welcome hamper of food and drinks when we arrived was a lovely touch. The owner even came every day early in the morning to personally clean the pool and even tidied up the outdoor eating area if we had left any mess from the night before. The villa was also cleaned part way through our week's stay which was great. There is a lovely taverna within walking distance which we made frequent use of and other really nice one a very short drive away. Good nearby shops provided everything we needed and we ate in on the barbecue quite a few nights. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and hope to return next year. No complaints at all, except maybe that the wifi isn't very good, not strong enough to download films/tv shows on catch up and checking email takes a long time so if you were looking to work while on holiday it might be a little annoying. Apart from this everything was perfect!

Awesome stay

We had a wonderful stay at this house. Everyone was overwhelmed by the size of the house, we did not expect this much space for our own. It was very private with an awesome view of the sea. The pool was good and family friendly. Housekeeping was on a regular basis and very very tidy and clean. There is a daily service for the pool and the flowers/trees. Restaurants, Supermarkets and Beaches are in the reach of 5-15 Minutes. Even a important sight of Crete is in reach of 15 Minutes up the road. Over all the stay was good and Menios did a great job for being our host. Our questions got answered in no time.

Lovely villa

We were 7 adults and 6 children and the house never felt crowded. A tip is to have rental cars when you live in the house. About 5 km to Lidl and the beach. We used our cars and visited other beaches in the morning and afternoon, and in the evening we hang out by the beautiful pool area. We cooked dinner every evening in the house and the outdoor barbecue beside the pool is very nice. The pictures from the house does reflect the actual status, actually maybe the house is a little bit better. The service we got from Dimitra, Manos & Menios at Cretevillas4u and Mr Nikos the owner were phenomenal. Quick answers when you needed help and a very nice and warm welcome. Wifi worked perfectly, bedrooms with nice aircondition. We can only recommend this house!! The only thing that was missing was maybe som kitchen utilities (Sharp knives, wine glasses etc). But it was not something that disturbed us so much during our stay. //Jonas with families
