Wonderful family location
We are an extended family party of 8. The property is spacious, well equipped and very clean. The facilities are excellent with all amenities and equipment needed. The pool are in particular is really lovely and the children loved the slide into the pool, basketball net, table tennis table and table football. There are plenty of sunbeds and lots of options for shade. We were met on arrival and the owners are extremely attentive throughout with fruit and a delicious home made Pastiitsio waiting for us together with fruit. On two other occasions some lovely food was prepared for us. Within walking distance is Christos, a great local taverner with great food very reasonably priced. 8 of us ate there , with drinks for around 120 euros all in. The local bakery is great and both deliver free if needed. We had a car, which is definitely needed and ventured out to sight seeing and beaches frequently, although you could just as easily stay around the pool. The separate outdoor kitchen and dining area is great. if we had one observation it would be to perhaps include a standard cooker/hob too complement the BBQ and wood over, but that did. nit detract from our stay at all. Would definitely recommend.

The villa was absolutely fantastic - the photos don’t do justice to the inside and beautiful outdoor space. It was perfect for us with young children. The hosts were so welcoming.

Wonderful Stay
We have just returned from a 2 week holiday at the villa, 4 adults and 4 children. The villa is great - clean and well equipped with lots of space and different areas to relax so even as a big group you don't feel on top of one another. The pool was cleaned regularly and kept nice and sparkling. Emma and her mother were superb hosts - arranging for weekly cleaning and providing wonderful homemade treats. Emma was also super helpful in suggesting restaurants and making reservations which made life very easy. It's a short drive to Rethymno which has a lovely atmosphere (especially in the evening) and a wide variety of restaurants. Local to the villa we were able to walk to Christos Taverna which provided lovely meals and a friendly service at reasonable prices. The outside bbq kitchen was a particular highlight and we enjoyed several evenings eating there. The Etouri agency was helpful and efficient and assisted with booking car hire and airport transfers - we were very grateful to have the opportunity to enjoy a complimentary day at the Beach Club on our last day after check out. Thank you everyone for a wonderful holiday!

Beautiful!
This villa has excellent facilities and plenty of room for our family of 5. But would easily accommodate up to 10. The owners were so amazing which made the whole holiday and experience even better. Emma helped us with any requests and went above and beyond with a welcome dinner as we arrived very late at night. As well as a hamper of goodies and even some supplies for breakfast the next day. I was worried that as the listing doesn’t say the pool is heated that, I wouldn’t be going in much because I hate being cold. But it was actually really pleasant and I was soo happy to be able to swim every day with the kids. Couldn’t recommend this villa enough!! We have already discussed a return in the future. And we never normally want to return to places as we like to experience new places each time we travel. Thank you so much for an amazing stay. See you again. Kindest regards Hannah and family

Villa Acorn - beautiful villa!
My husband and I were alone in the villa and had an amazing time. We did not want to leave. It is totally secluded, which made for a relaxing holiday but there are a couple of great places to eat and drink in the tiny town within walking distance. The owners and booking agents were both readily available and extremely helpful. The villa has everything you could need inside and has an amazing outdoor space and a fantastic pool area. We will be back for sure. Andrea & Erik

Great stay at Villa Acorn.
We had a great stay at Villa Acorn. The hosts were fantastic, they were always available for any questions we had. They greeted us with a very nice homemade meal and a bottle of wine, that was very sweet of them. The villa is very pleasant, the pool is of a perfect size and always kept clean. The gardens are beautiful, very well taken care of. The villa's location was perfect for us... 10 minutes away from the town of Rethymno and some beaches and an hour away from the beautiful beaches in the south... and if we wanted a quick bite to grab close by, we could just walk to Christo's taverna, that serves great home made cretan food.

Excellent family holiday
We had a fantastic stay in acorn villa, 2 families of 4, adults, teenagers and young children. Location was great, not very far to local tavernas and shops. Just a short journey to Rethmyno. Our host Emma had a fantastic home cooked meal ready on our arrival even though after midnight! Etouri were also very helpful with helping us organise days out etc during our stay. I would thoroughly recommend, the house is beautiful, the location great and hosts and rental company absolutely first class!

A beautiful villa
We, together with another family rented this for a week. I can honestly say we had a wonderful holiday in no small part to the villa. The pool area is pristine and the kids loved playing around it. The villa had large rooms and was just a fabulous place to have as a base for our vacation. The drive to the various beaches we visited was relatively short. There is a good supermarket in Rethymno and a small one for emergencies in the town next to the villa. The owners are lovely and the house was cleaned in the middle of the week, which was a nice touch. If I was being picky, then one end of the dirt road that leads up to the villa is practically impassable due to some big dips and rocks, so you need to be careful how you get to it and approach from the other side. Also, the outdoor barbecue house could do with some more tools. We couldn’t really use the very impressive one in the pictures and had to make do with the smaller one around the side of the building. Some other utensils like measuring jugs and large serving bowls would have been useful too. Like I said - minor things. Highly recommend this villa!

Perfect in every way!
Acorn Villa was just perfect! So well equipped, clean, spacious and the views were stunning! The owners of the villa were fantastic hosts and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived and greeted us with a gorgeous meal and little treats for the kids. They were also so helpful during our stay, telling us the best restaurants and beaches to visit etc, we can’t thank them enough for making our holiday extra memorable! So many positive things to say about the villa - one of the really useful things was the filtered water, which was great, the space, the views, the kids facilities and not forgetting the owners little dogs downstairs! The surrounding area was fairly rural, but the nearest little village has two supermarkets and the most gorgeous taverna Christo’s which we visited a few times (they would even deliver to the villa!). Rethymnon was a short drive away and was the most amazing place, one of the nicest holiday resorts I’ve ever been to. So all in all a fantastic holiday. We would certainly recommend Acorn Villa and would love to come again soon.

Perfect family Villa with excellent hosts
My wife and I along with my daughters and grandchildren, 6 adults and 3 children under 5, stayed at Villa Acorn for 10 days. The Villa is beautiful and well equipped. The bedrooms are spacious. The kitchen is well equipped and the lounge cool and relaxing. The outside space is huge with a large heated pool and great play area for the children. The views are spectacular with amazing sunsets. The Villa is very private but only 10 min by car to beaches and the lovely town of Rethymno. The local village is a 10 min walk with a shop, bar and restaurant. George, Aphrodite and Emma are wonderful hosts providing lots of tips and a lovely meal on arrival plus great treats every time they came to the Villa. We all had a great holiday and would thoroughly recommend Acorn Villa to anyone. We would definitely love to stay there again.

Beautiful villa in an amazing location
We stayed here in July/August 2017. Our party consisted of 6 adults, 2 young boys and 2 babies. The inside of the villa was very clean and really nicely decorated. It felt like home from home. The BBQ area was amazing and we enjoyed a number of very pleasant evenings around the large table watching the sun go down with a cool iced drink. There are a number of seating areas both inside and outside the villa, so we never felt on top of each other. The pool was incredible and the boys loved the slide (the photo shows a diving board which is not there any more). We had a very warm welcome when we arrived from Emma and her parents. They actually made us a lovely local dish for tea as we arrived about 4:30pm. Delicious and a great way to start a relaxing holiday! Emma was always on hand for any questions or advice on places to go and which beaches are the best. There are three water parks within an hour and 15 minutes drive. We all went to one and had a very fun day. We found a number of lovely beaches within half an hours drive and we were also very impressed with Rethymno old town (about 20 minute drive). A very typical quaint Greek town with lots of nice tavernas hidden down cobbled alleyways. We didn't have a bad meal and the prices were very reasonable. There is a Lidl within a 5 minute drive as well as closer local shops for essentials. We have stayed in a number of villas in the past and we all agreed that this is the nicest one so far. Suffice to say we wish we were there now having come back to the UK weather with clouds and rain! If you are a looking a large villa, which is really well equipped and that is in a nice peaceful location, you wont beat this one. We have never been to the same villa twice in the past but we loved this one so much we may return one day! Also the booking process was very straightforward thanks to Kostas at Etouri villas. He always responded quickly to my questions and his assistant Sophia was on hand throughout our holiday should we need to ask any questions.

Best Hosts and a great villa for a family vacation
We were a group of 3 generations 9 months, mid 30 till mid 40 and the grandparents older than 70. We were looking a long time for the right place to stay to cover all the needs to have a great vacation. We wanted a view, a pool, a outdoor kitchen, enough space for everybody, aircondition and a ping pong table. This villa had everything and even more. The hosts were so heardwarming friendly people and did everything to make our trip perfect. They had a fresh cooked meal ready when we arrived there, brought us a desert after a couple of days and bought a floating swim ring specially for the baby. we asked for outdoor pillows for the wooden chairs outside, Emma the host was so sorry that there was nothing and a few days later Emmas father left 6 new pillows for the chairs in the BBQ house for us… Soo cute!! So there is nothing to complain about everything was perfect if I have to think of anything its just the ping pong table that is not really usable for serious players because it s not all smooth anymore, I guess because ofbeeing washed in the rain a few times, but that is the only thing. So if you want to have a great vacation in a perfect space with absolutely privacy and beeing hosted by a lovely kind and heardwarming family, thats the one!!! Thank you Emma to you and you family

Villa Acorn - vi kommer gärna tillbaka!
Helt fenomenal upplevelse! Vi var tre familjer (6 vuxna, 4 barn) som spenderade en vecka i denna underbara villa. Upplevde stället som ännu bättre än vad bilderna kanske visar. Poolhuset (med extra kyl+frys) och grillarna användes verkligen. Poolen ej uppvärmd men det behövdes verkligen inte (var ca 25 grader på mornarna och 28 på eftermiddagarna). Stora utomhusterrasser med stort bord på hjul som gör att man kan sitta där man behagar. Mycket vacker utsikt över berg och hav. Villan inbäddad i grönska. Ett stort plus var mottagandet där vi bjöds på varm, hemlagad mat, välkomstkorg med frukt, kakor, lite sötsaker till barnen. Mitt i veckan städades villan och då hade Emmas (ägarens) mamma Afrodite bakat supergoda fetaostknyten mm. Vid avresa fick samtliga familjer en egen liten presentpåse med klubbor till barnen, lite lokal dryck samt en fin mugg med Villa Acorn som motiv. Vi fick alltid snabb hjälp om vi önskade eller frågade om något. Rekommenderar denna villa varmt och tänker att man mer än gärna kommer tillbaka!

Beautiful house in a remote area but still close to everything
We stayed in the house for 10 nights and absolutely loved it and hated to go back home. When you are in the house it feels that you are in a very remote area but this is not the case. The closest village is about a 2minute drive and Rethimnon is only a 10 minute drive. The house is beautiful and has all the amenities you would need to have a perfect holiday. The pool is really well maintained by the owner (he comes to clean it every morning). Additionally the surroundings of the house are really pretty as well. From your sitting area you will the see olive and vineyards as well as a the sea. The owners of the house are very hospitable. Upon arrival we got some home made Greek meal as well as some fruits and wine. On the day before departure they catered another meal which was really nice. The area of Rethimnon offers a lot of things to do and see. 10 days were not sufficient to see the area as well as the island. Thank you Emma and family for the wonderful stay you were all very hospitable (including the two little dogs Cici en Lady as well as Tommie the cat) we will definitely come back.

perfecte vakantie in ACORN VILLA
Schitterende villa met alles op en aan. Fantastische eigenaars die zich volledig inzetten voor het welslagen van onze vakantie. We werden overladen met cadeaus en allerlei tips. De hygiëne was voortreffelijk en we voelden er ons de koning te rijk. Eén minpunt : de voorgestelde excursies door Robert (Etouri) zijn onwaarschijnlijk duur. Zo werd ons voorgesteld voor een navette naar de Samaria kloof heen en terug voor 450 euro. We losten het anders op !

Tolle Villa in der perfekten Lage
Wir waren 2 Familien mit 4 Kindern. Wir wurden sehr freundlich von Emma und ihrer Familie begrüßt (per Telefon auch von der Agentur), auch die Betreuung durch die Eigentümer war außerordentlich gut. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Villa liegt auf einem Berghang mit Blick aufs Meer. 7 Minuten benötigt man per Auto zum nächstgelegenen Lidl, lediglich 3 Minuten zu kleinen, lokalen Einkaufsläden, die ebenfalls eine ordentliche Auswahl (vor allem an frischen Früchten) bieten. In die Altstadt/ Hafen Rethymnons benötigt man 10-15 Minuten, die selbe Zeit zu tollen Stränden westlich von Rethymnon in Richtung Chania. Wir können Sirocos Beach & Tavern empfehlen, kostenlose Liegen und Schirme in bestem Zustand, frische Cocktails/ Säfte und qualitativ hochwertiges Essen, ein hervorragendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Dazu bis ca 100m ins Meer hüfttiefes Wasser, für Kids perfekt. Wir haben eine tolle Zeit verbracht und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Vielen Dank nochmal an Emma und ihre Familie! Efcharisto!
