Villa Bella Gonia

Wonderful
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : The Villa was amazing. So much space, so comfortable. 3 bedrooms, 2 bedrooms with king size bed, one bedroom with a single bed. Two bathrooms, a washing machine in one of them. Enough of everything (towels, etc.). Huge living room, lots of space in the kitchen to store things. Villa is in quite a remote area, in a small village, so the car is an absolute must. we enjoyed this privacy a lot. Actually, those are two neighbouring villas, but they don't share space, are absolutely separate, you can only remotely see the other villa from windows of two bedrooms, anyway we had neighbours only 1 night, so no problems at all. You need to keep in mind that driving will be needed in case you want to reach any of the interesting sites. Some nice things from hosts left for us (like butter, jam, vine) - it was lovely, thank you so much. The swimming pool was wonderful - really clean, water temperature very good, safe for children. The outer space was very beautiful, enough places to sit and relax. there were many things for our convenience. the collection of keys was smooth (in a box). I received messages from owners immediately after booking, with very useful information, and even discount codes for car rental companies (which I used, more specifically - Voyager, and everything went perfectly). The attention of the managers of the villa rental company was really touching. we had some accident with one piece of furniture, we informed the owners about it, and I was wondering will they claim that it was our fault (which wasn't) - and I was very pleasantly surprised that their reaction was adequate and benevolent. In general, we are really happy that we chose this villa in the Rethymno area.
  : It was not a problem of the villa or owners, and it didn't cause any big issues, it was just not very pleasant. The swimming pool faces the yard of the local neighbours, we received indications about siesta hours from the owners, and we were not in the villa at that time, we were using this time to go sightseeing. However, even during other hours (I suppose the neighbours start siesta earlier than we got instructed) came to ask for silence, and I can assure you that we were far from being loud (only children swimming in the pool), as from the other side other local neighbours were preparing for some family party (wedding, at least that was our impression), and that was real Greek loud:) by the way, we really enjoyed having an opportunity to watch the process, it felt very warm and friendly. which caused no problems for us, as it was during lunchtime. So we felt that sometimes too much was observed by the neighbours of the proximate villa.
