Argyroupolis – Villur

Thomas Bandaríkin

Erontas Villa is a 200 year old home that the owner, Yannis, renovated in 2000. And what a wonderful renovation it is. Our villa, was a two bedroom with a balcony view of the sea. The villa has all the feel and comforts of a home. Everything is clean and it is obvious that Yannis takes great pride in the villa, as well he should. The villa is wonderfully appointed and decorated. Yannis was a terrific host. Highly recommend Erontas Villa.

We had an amazing time at the villa with our family (7 people). We were warmly welcomed by our host with (homemade) raki and snacks. The owners are very friendly and generous. There was water and food available to start off our holiday. They even brought us their homemade wine :P. The villa is absolutely gorgeous. Even better than the photo's suggest. We were so happy to stay here. We felt like moviestars. The villa is very nicely decorated in a traditional style. The apartment upstairs is a little bit more modern and also as everything needed. We loved both! From the apartment upstairs you can do some great stargazing. There is private parking on the terrain. There are various (shady and sunny) terraces to sit and enjoy the views of the mountains and the beautiful gardens. There is a great pool and pooltowels and toys for in the pool were also provided. There is a garden where we could pick our own fruits and vegetables (really enjoyed the tomatoes and watermelon). You can hear/see sheep in the area and watch the swallows during the day and bats during the night drink from the pool. There are several nice taverna's in the area and there is a bakery next to the villa. The waterfalls of Argiroupoli are nearby and have some nice (cool) places to eat. The beach is 15 minutes away and there is a good supermarket in the village of Episkopi (5 min.). The more touristic town of Georgioupoulis and the city of Rethymon are about 20 minutes by car. Lake Kournas is 15 minutes. Because of the intense heat (we were here during the heatwave) we were not as active as we had wanted to be but in better weather there are some nices hikes around the area and some cultural places to visit. We were supposed to stay here in may 2020. Due to Covid we couldn't come and we had to change our dates to this summer. Luckily this was not a problem for the owners. They were very helpfull. We highly recommend this place!

The worst thing in the villa was that that it was so hard to get outside that place and explore Crete. ;) It is placed just outside of village and has everything you need which gives you perfect surrounding to chill and relax. There is one "must do" in the morning which is going for fresh bread to the local store which is delicious. We were there with two kids (3 and 5) and everybody were happy. Contact with the owners is very good and they react very fast for your needs. Fully recommend it.

The mother who met us there was lovely and charming, one of the nicest people we met on our vacation. Location is great, but you definitely need a car, which we knew and were ok with. Views are unbelievable. Lovely breakfast place within walking distance. Cold beer and water waiting in the fridge. Owner was easy to contact and communicate with.
