Testimonials - Villa Rigani          

We had a really wonderful time here. We've found all the local people to be really helpful. Everyone is right about Elpis,it has a great family friendly veuve - likewise the mini-market in Plaka.It has most things although we thought the butcher in Kalives (middle one on left) was great for fresh meat.Pork,lamb and sausages on the barbeque at the villa were delicious. Sad to be leaving - September 2009.

Wonderful fortnight. Weather and villa brilliant! Imbros Gorge very beautiful but hardcore for 60+ year oldy. Lovely lunch in cool surroundings of Agiroupolis, water everywhere. Fabulous drive up the mountains to the Omolos Plateau. Georgioupolis seaside not too commercial. Knossos is a must visit despite the distance. Mini-market in Plaka as good as bigger supermarkets - August 2009.

Good villa, nice pool, convenient location, lots of nice places accessable. Elpis restaurant/taverna in Plaka good. Imbros Gorge, Kalyves and Almyrida beaches and Stavros beach - great.  Vamos and Rethymnon old towns very beautiful.      Chania very good. Bakery on the Almyrida/ Kalives rd sells fantastic G & T ice-cream - July 2009.

Fantastic! It's all we wanted, perfect villa in a perfect location. Wonderful - we will be back - July 2009.

Lovely Villa in a nice peaceful and secluded location. Pool perfect, not too big so not too cold! We found a great Taverna at Drakonas in the mountains and had a taste of the ‘real’ Crete. Best food in Chania is at TAMAM. Also a nice bar next to the Maritime Museum. Nice view of the harbour but just far enough away from the masses. Harbourside places probably best for a drink only. Get your camera ready for the fantastic sunsets from the villa - May 09.

A cool, comfortable villa with everything you need including incredible views and wonderful pool. Fantastic beach close by. We will definitely return to this one – June 2008.

We spent 2 weeks at the Villa Rigani in October 2007, and enjoyed wonderful weather, (still reaching 30 degrees C even in early Autumn), waking in the mornings to beautiful and ever changing views of the White Mountains, spectacular views over Souda Bay, and dramatic sunsets.  The villa had everything you could need for a comfortable stay, a serene place to return to after a day exploring, or just to spend lazy hours, relaxing on the terrace, cooling off in the pool, listening to the goat bells and the cicadas. Gorgeous. We will go back one day – Oct 2007.

Villa Rigani was perfect for our needs as a family with 3 young children. The villa was quiet with great views and was very well equipped for a stay away from home. The shape of the pool really helped our children gain their confidence because the sides or the steps were always close to hand. We also really enjoyed the nearby beach at Almirida which provided all the variety we wanted. We definitely hope to be back – Aug 2007.
