Great villa in a great location

We had a great time at Villa De Stella and it is a brilliant location for local tavernas! Stella and her family are lovely and really helpful! The villa got cleaned every few days which was fab with fresh linen etc. the 4 stars for the cleanliness rating was because the oven pans inside the oven were not clean (nothing that our own elbow grease didn’t resolve!) Villa layout was great - double room and separate bathroom on ground floor and two further doubles and a twin upstairs all with en-suites. Pool area was lovely but would have liked a couple more umbrellas for shade as 2 is not quite enough. Overall we had a great time, great villa in a great location and great hosts! We will be back!

A fabulous stay at a wonderful villa!

We enjoyed a fabulous week at Villa Distella, celebrating my friend’s significant birthday! The villa is clean, comfortable, spacious and very well equipped, with sunny terraces galore! The pools are clean and well looked after, with surrounding gardens that are beautifully kept. As a host, from the time of booking to checking out, Stella could not have been more helpful. She was friendly, responsive and very accommodating, offering us lots of useful tips and suggestions of things to do during our first visit to Crete. The generous welcome pack (including delicious cake) and midweek dessert were also hugely appreciated. We would definitely like to visit Prinés again and would highly recommend all three of the local tavernas (which were all only five minutes walk away).

Fabulous stay in Villa DiEstella

Really enjoyable holiday at the lovely Villa DiStella. Very clean and comfortable with plenty of room to spread out and relax. The pool was fantastic in a beautiful garden, all regularly attended by Manolis, the friendly owner. The view of the sunset on the top terrace every evening is not to be missed. The village of Prines is lovely and has three very good Tavernas within a five minute walk from the Villa. We would highly recommend this Villa to anyone and hope to stay there again one day.

Fantastic villa and amazing pool

Spacious four double bedrooms in a fab villa with a massive delightful pool. Great sunsets over the sea. Walking distance to three tavernas and two shops. Village setting with quiet seclusion. Terraces for every part of the day. Large barbecue. Spacious enough to fit large family or four couples. Largest deepest warmest fun pool we’ve ever had.

First time in Crete, a fabulous place, lovely people, great food, the local Cretan wine was especially nice, we never had a bad meal wherever we ate. Stella and her family made us very welcome, the villa was fab, with everything we required, Stella had some great suggestions of where to go, eat etc, do ask her…Manolis tended the gardens whilst his mechanical ‘pool boy’ cleaned the pool, also bought us a desert made by his better half, delicious 🤤 The local restaurants were just a short walk away all very welcoming with great food and drink. Plenty to do in Rethymno with bars, restaurants, markets, shops, nightlife, great beaches. Could say more… ‘5’ stars it is.. A fabulous stay The Chandler family

Amazing villa!

We had a wonderful time at Villa Distella. It has lots of different seating areas so you could always find the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch or evening drinks. The top balcony has an amazing view of the sea and mountains and the sunset. With four bedrooms and four bathrooms there was plenty of space for everyone. The pool was a good size for swimming and kept scrupulously clean by Manolis. The kitchen was well kitted out with plenty of crockery and pans. The villa is a short drive into Rethymno and is a short walk from the centre of Prines where we ate at the friendly Veranta taverna a couple of times. Manolis was a very helpful and friendly host who was always bringing over gifts: his own pressed olive oil, wine or cake.

A Wonderful Holiday

We arrived late at the villa and were met and welcomed by Manolis who showed us around and was extremely helpful. The villa is located in a lovely village. We ate in one of the tavernas and it was very pleasant. The location is quiet but in close reach to Rethymno by car; a busier town, but a lovely place to walk around. Our boys (age 16 and 19) and daughter (10) did parasailing here and the boys and my husband hired an electric scooter for an hour to scoot along the coast. We visited Finikas beach on the other side of the island a few times as we loved it so much. The roads there were at times narrow but a lovely location to swim, snorkel or sit and enjoy the view. There is a cafe there too serving takeaway food which after an afternoon at the beach, was welcomed. Our favourite aspect of the holiday was enjoying being at the villa with the large family pool. This was the main treat. We loved the different terraces to eat out on and in the main, sat by the pool to read and then to swim or judge handstand competitions! The villa suited our family well, particularly with air conditioning in the bedrooms. It was easy to make family meals in the kitchen area and overall the villa is spacious, clean and lovely to be in for a holiday. Manolis came and cleaned the pool regularly and looked after the beautiful gardens. The family also gifted us a delicious cake and pudding made by Manolia. Any questions we had were answered very quickly, the hosts were extremely helpful, friendly and kind. I would highly recommend this villa and area of Crete for a holiday. I tried to jog each day and found a few routes I could take for this. Hot, but beautiful scenery. We hired a car and we used this to explore and to shop at the nearby Lidle, but also local bakeries and shops. Manolis and Manolia run the village shop too which sold freshly baked bread each day. There is also a beach a 10 minute drive away which is a long straight coastline; very pleasant. My husband jogged along here while we all swam in the sea. Our favourite place to eat was Ta Souvlakia tou Gagani in Atsipopoulo where the seating is in the church square - fantastic food, service and location. Overall, a wonderful holiday and we thank Stella, Manolis and Manolia for this. We would certainly return and would recommend with no hesitation.

Had a lovely week at the Beautiful Villa Stella. Stella and her parents could not have been more helpful and kind. Lovely pudding and cake provided by Stella's mum. Thank you!! Manolis was also very good at keeping the gardens and plant pots looking lovely. And thank you Manolis for getting us back in when we locked ourselves out!! The pool is also fantastic.

A beautiful villa in a stunning location

We had a blissful October week at Villa DiStella. The property is very large and much nicer than the photos suggest. The garden is lush and well looked after and can be enjoyed from 3 separate large terraces and that's not mentioning the small balconies on each of the rooms! The interior is comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. The roof terrace has stunning views of the sea and across the mountains and is well positioned to enjoy the sunset. The local village is very beautiful and we enjoyed pre-dinner drinks and supper at the super friendly taverna on the square. We very much enjoyed walking through the traditional village to get fresh bread from the shop each morning. And what sets this property apart - the warmth of greeting from the owners who also run the local shop. We had a friendly chat every morning with Stella's mum and often left with freshly baked cakes she had made for us. The villa is also well placed for the loacl area. Rethymino is a really great town and we had no problem driving and parking on the outskirts, althought the local bus ran regulary from the village. The families favourite trip was to Schinaria Beach (as recommended by Yannis at the taverna). At the end of a single track road is a beautiful crystal clear bay where we snorkelled (take your gear with you) and saw the most beautiful fish in only a few feet of water. So I won't hesitate to recommend this villa. The family who own it are so welcoming and helpful throughout your stay it sets you up for a perfect holiday.

One of the best!

A fabulous villa with first class service from the lovely owners. Villa DiStella is spacious and well equipped with a good size pool and beautiful gardens. The villa is located in a quiet part of the sleepy village of Prines with a mini market and a couple of authentic tavernas (olive tree & veranta) within walking distance. Within 20 minutes by car you can get to Rethymno old town and a choice of beaches (kalivaki beach is a must). We enjoyed our stay there and loved connecting with the owners, Manolis, Manolia and Stella. For an unforgettable villa holiday, villa DiStella comes highly recommended

Fantastic villa with big pool

We have just returned from our stay at Villa Di Stella and would really recommend it. As a family of four with two boys aged 9 and 6, the size of the villa and the pool were a real bonus and kept us entertained for the week. As soon as we arrived I thought the picture on the website didn't really do the villa justice - it is a lot bigger than I expected and the bedrooms and living areas are really well arranged to make the stay a comfortable one. There are great cooking facilities at the villa with a fully equipped kitchen and two tavernas a short walk away in the village. The better of the two is Giannikos taverna on the village square with a traditional menu and good fish and the owner was really welcoming and made the evening for us - h gets a 5 star rating on Trip Adviser. Prines itself is a sleepy little village with some really nice little alleyways and a couple of mini markets but you're only a short (8 mins maybe) drive from Lidl at the bottom of the hill (and a small Jumbo) in Rethymnon which has everything you need for self catering and avoids driving further into the town which we tried once and never again!. There's also a bus into Rethymnon which we took as we tried driving into the town earlier in the day but that was probably not worth the risk in the evening.The taxi ride back was 12 Euros. The villa is on a hill with a number of balconies and terraces so you can get/get away from the sun throughout the day and enjoy dinner on the top terrace overlooking the sea as the sun sets. At the bottom of the hill is the main northern road that runs from Iraklion to Chania which means beaches are easy to get to. The owner was was very friendly and owned the minimarket in the village so you could always find them if you had any questions and it was nice to have the maid service half way through the week and a dessert dropped off too! All in all a really great villa and I'd strongly recommend it.

Wonderful family holiday

We had a wonderful holiday in Villa Distella, Manolis & Stella were so welcoming and helpful. The villa is beautiful we were a large party with children and there was plenty of space, lots of outdoor areas to relax in and the pool was fabulous. The village of Prines is lovely a real family place, close to the hustle and bustle of Retymnon but far enough away for you to feel off the tourist track. We will definitely be going back.

The best villa we have yet stayed in

We have booked villas in Europe for the past 15 years and Villa di Stella is by far the best one we have stayed in. From the correspondence ahead of our stay responding to questions about the local area to the owners posting on some left behind items, we could not have asked for more. We were a party of up 8 ranging from 13 - 75 and everyone loved it. As others have mentioned, the villa is immaculate, private, spacious, functional, well air-conditioned, has plenty of terraces to sit on, huge clean pool, plenty of sun loungers for everyone, gorgeous plants and flowers in the garden, is so well located for the local tavernas which you can walk to and also near to Rethymno. Cannot rate the friendliness of the owners and their efficiency to sort a couple of very minor issues out for us as soon as possible (just wifi!) I just hope we have an opportunity to return another time. Thank you to all the family!

Fabulous villa in traditional greek village

Super villa in the traditional village of Prines. Perfect for a relaxing, chill out holiday. Villa accommodation is kept immaculate by the proud and friendly owners. The villa itself provides everything needed for your holiday including beautiful bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, dining area, as well as three outdoor areas, two pools (one perfect for small children). The owners make you feel so at home, they even provided a lovely welcome pack on our arrival as well as other tasty foods throughout our stay - freshly cooked cheese pies, a dessert, local cheese and even gave us a little leaving gift to remember our holiday. The villa is in easy walking distance from the local Giannikos Taverna which serves traditional and reasonably priced food, along with a very friendly, warm welcome. Would I recommend this property or go back - within a heartbeat!

Fantastic villa/holiday

Villa di Stella was a fantastic villa with a great pool and 3 lovely terraces which all got the sun at various times of the day. The villa was spotless and a maid service was provided half way through the holiday. The owners were extremely friendly and generous, providing us with a welcome pack, desert one evening and a full meal another evening. There are 2 tavernas within a 5 minute walk of the villa and Rethymnon was a 15 minute drive away. We would highly recommend the villa and we would love to go back there in the future.

Great family holiday place

We stayed at the DiStella villa for 12 days in July 2012. We were 8 people – 4 adults and 4 children between 2 and 8 years old and the villa had all we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool was excellent; our kids did not want to go anywhere else. 8 sunbeds meant no fights for a place to relax. The garden was beautiful with lots of flowers and palm trees. The villa had many terraces and two eating areas outside meant we were always able to get some shade during the day. The house was cleaned twice a week and the garden kept in good shape by our host. Wi-fi in the house was very convenient, and air conditioning in the bedrooms great for mid-summer. There was lots of kitchen equipment and crockery and even a dishwasher, and good beds and towels. The villa is a short walk from Prines village. Prines is a small and quiet nice rural village but with 2 shops and 2 friendly tavernas it was perfect for our needs. The shops were small but had most of what we needed, including fresh bread every morning. There are also supermarkets nearby. Rethymnon is a short drive away and provides lots of shops and restaurants and tourist activities. There are also many beaches within short driving distance. The owners were very kind and helpful. They also own one of the village shops so they are always available there, and they did all they could to make our stay the best possible – and even brought us dinner one night. We had a great holiday and would very much recommend the villa to other visitors!

Amazing stay!

We are very pleased with our stay at the villa! It is close to the city of Rethymno but also allows more of a 'tiny greek village' experience. It is at a walkable distance from one of the best restaurant we tried on our trip (Giannikos Taverna) !! The house is also very very clean. The hosts (Stella and her father) were hospitable and reactive : Initially, one of the bed was very uncomfortable, but the hosts were super quick to react to our comment and changed the whole mattress. This shows that they won't let you down if anything happens! One thing we would have like to know is there ain't much 'accessories' for basic cooking/making lunch (no Tupperware, no aluminium foil, no ziploc, no cooler, no lighter, etc.). This is a small detail, but would've made our life a little bit easier.

Fabulous stay near Rethymno

We are a group of six friends who travelled to Crete from Canada. We stayed at this villa for 5 fabulous days. The owners daughter, Stella, was in frequent contact with us whenever we needed her help and gave us great recommendations. So lovely of them to also leave wonderful treats for us upon our arrival. The house and grounds are gorgeous- way beyond our expectations. Beautiful house, rooms, balconies and pool. Absolutely amazing views of the sunset. Also great to have laundry facilities. Fabulous 3 Tavernas within a short walk from the villa. Thanks so much to Stella and her parents for an amazing time in Prines. Don’t forget to ask how to get hot water for morning showers.

The Villa is lovely, very spacious with lots of terraces to sit on. The roof terrace has stunning views over the sea and amazing sunsets. The pool area is lovely, full of beautiful flowers. The pool is great, deep and cooling in the hot sun. The location in the village is superb. There are 3 lovely tavernas all within 5 minutes walk and all serving wonderful food. The owners were so welcoming making the whole eating experience fantastic. Manolis visited often to water his plants and clean the pool and never came empty handed. We had cake, fruit, cheese pies and a wonderful pudding all home made. We were given olive oil on our departure. We can not fault the holiday. Stella was quick to answer any questions we had and provided up to date info for us on the Covid situation. We were all very sorry to leave the comfort of the villa and would highly recommend.
