Due to its past history, the house has a number of solar panels on its roof, and the rear part of the building (with its own entrance) is used for storage facilities by the owners. Please note however, that this does not in any way affect the privacy of the guests and/or the accommodation.

SOME MORE REVIEWS:

We really can’t say enough good things about our stay at Villa Thetis. We travelled to Crete with our twin boys (aged 9 months) in May. The villa was as pictured and absolutely beautiful. The space is bigger than it appears in the pictures. The view is amazing and the pool is beautiful. The Villa is in a small village and a very short drive to Chora Sfakion. The Villa is great for a quiet family holiday and those looking for a more authentic Greek experience. This place isn’t for you if you would like to be in the middle of the action. The hosts went above and beyond to make us feel at home. They organised for us to have two high chairs and travel cots. They also arranged for us to have groceries in the house on our arrival. A cleaner came once every three days and went above and beyond what was expected – she even cleaned the small splash pool we bought for our boys. Before leaving the villa one of the neighbours brought us a home-made sfakian pie (a local delicacy) as a send-off. By the end of our stay we felt as though we were part of the village and were sad to leave – we would highly recommend a stay at Villa Thetis!

Villa Thetis was so much more than we had hoped for. The setting was absolutely stunning and I could not get enough of the view. The villa itself was beautiful and very tastefully decorated in a simple style and extremely well equipped. Despina was fantastic and went over and above the call of duty to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The villa was exceptionally clean and the mid week refresh was a treat. The location of the villa makes it possible to walk into the village although it is a bit of an uphill walk back but there are taxis. The village is lovely and provides all you need for either eating out in one of the many tavernas along the sea front or the supermarkets, bakery and butcher. We prepared some delicious suppers in the villa and with a setting like that you do not need to go far. We did visit several beaches and enjoyed swimming in the beautiful clear waters. We hired a boat from Notos Mare which was a great success . As we had to take our son back to the airport we spent a day in Rethymnon which was a lovely place to visit. The vast majority of our holiday was spent around the pool enjoying the surroundings. Would thoroughly recommend. Alexandra, Thank you so much for being a great host.
