FULLY equipped house in a serene village with the most amazing host, excellent taverna 10 meters from the house. Perfect. Amazing value for money.

It was a great family stay at Retreat Homes. The host, Nektaria, was really kind and welcoming, so we felt as being home. She stayed in constant contact with us, replied promptly and was always there to help us. We liked the area with many beautiful plants, swimming pool and barbeque for which the coal was provided. We enjoyed a beautiful veranda with a sea and mountains view. We were provided with beach towels, there was enough of kitchenware and even a washing machine with wishing powder and an iron.

if you are looking for a nice, clean, quite place in the beautiful village of Douliana, here is the right place to stay. The owner, Nektaria, is very helpful. A special thanks to her.

The host met us (family with 2 kids) on the day of arrival at the local cafe and led us to the parking area next to the house. We had a tour of the property explaining all relevant facilities including the swimming pool. Some fresh food was provided and the delicious homemade treats (including raki) were a special bonus! We felt really at home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely villa with private pool. Nektaria is a great host and was always on hand with excellent advice as well as providing us with delicious local specialties including homemade ones which we really appreciated. The villa itself had everything we needed and the pool was a very good size set in a lovely garden with plenty of cozy outdoor furniture. The villa is situated in the heart of the village which has a couple of nice tavernas and a cafe all with friendly owners and great Cretan food. All in all we had a fantastic holiday and we hope to be back soon. Thank you Nektaria and family for everything.

The villa Syblia was very spacious, well equipped, comfortable with lovely private pool and outdoor pizza oven and BBQ pit. The village is quiet and friendly and has lovely walks from the villa. Beaches were a short drive away and the location is good (with a car) to lots of attractions/places to visit.The host, Nektaria, cooked fresh local home cooking for our arrival which was lovely and was very helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. Would definately recommend staying here.

We had a fabulous holiday here in Douliana, a lovely village, with some nice restaurants & a friendly atmosphere. Our host Nektaria couldn't have been nicer, she was so helpful & generous. She was also very responsive both before & during our holiday. We would highly recommend a stay here, the pool was lovely, the house was clean & it was really nice touch to have a welcome package of food/drink & even some freshly baked Cretan delicacies!! Lake Kournas is nearby & well worth a visit, hire a pedalo to see the turtles on the other side!

We stayed in the larger villa with a private pool. It is a lovely property. The owners Nektaria, Christos and family live around 30 minutes away and they could not have been more generous. In addition to helping with the villa, they also dealt with our car hire company for us when we had a flat tyre and suggested places to visit. Douliana is peaceful and comprises several villas, an excellent traditional taverna, cafes and a small shop. Beaches, supermarkets and sites of interest are within easy driving distance.
