My name is Kostas Vasilakis and I have studied marketing and business management. Already being an owner of two successful villas and co-owner of a well known web development company in Greece, I started to manage other villas in 2012. I have the full management of all the villas that I represent, knowing everything about them and the areas in which they are located. My aim is to help the homeowners to manage their vacation properties to their full advantage and guests to relax and have the finest holiday experience with 24/7 service providing advice and information for all their concerns throughout their stay. Let me be your personal advisor for your holidays and let’s start organising your trip in Crete together! My company which called “etouri” is located in 8 Ioulias Petuchaki str. Rethymno, Crete and is approved by the Greek Tourist Organisation.

Nestled in the village of Kastellos, Villa Vardina has a blissful view of the mountains, olive groves and surrounding lush countryside cascading down to the shoreline that will take your breath away The villa is located in a traditional Cretan village yet close to beautiful stretches of sandy beach and bays, amenities and wonderful places to explore. The villa has a simple modern design with fresh colour palette and boasts 5 spacious ensuite bedrooms set over 3 floors, 2 lounge areas, private pool, mini spa room with jacuzzi tub and large outdoor area with private pool and children’s play area. The ‘mini spa’ is found in a separate room next to the bedroom and has a hot tub and mood lighting so you can relax and enjoy a soak. A washing machine and tumble dryer can be found in the utility cupboard for any washing needs. The villa boasts a large outdoor area on different levels. Wherever you are outside, the natural surroundings embrace you. The outdoor area includes: - A 50m2 oval swimming pool (1,40m throughout) with an outdoor shower. The pool can also be heated with an additional daily charge (please note that the pool heating can be used upon advance request for the entire stay and it requires at least one week advance notice.) - Pool terrace providing ample space to relax with sun beds, umbrellas, table and chairs. - Large grassed area with children’s slide, swing, baby swing and ping pong table. - Large barbecue area with charcoal barbecue, bread/pizza oven, sink and a large built in dining table seats 10 under a pergola. - Parking space for 2 cars is just outside the main gate of the Villa premises. Starting January 1, 2024, a new Greek tax was introduced which is called the “Climate Crisis Resilience Charge,” requiring a fee of 10 euros per night from March to October and 4 euros per night from November to February. The amount needs to be paid in cash or by card upon your arrival at the villa.

Kastellos is a traditional village located 30 minutes from Rethymno and 45 minutes from Chania. The beach is only 6kms away and is a long stretch of sandy beach extending from the area of Petre to Georgioupoli. Organised areas with beach bars and tavernas provide sunbeds and umbrellas but the beach is so vast that should you want a spot all to yourself, you are likely to find it. Amenities such as supermarket, cafes, chemist and tavernas can be found in the nearby areas of Kavros (5kms) and Georgioupoli (8 km) which are also resorts so you can find all the facilities you need. Your closest taverna is a mere 800m walk away serving traditional Cretan food.
