Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The best part of our 3 week stay at Serenity River Villa was hands-down the property's host, Stella. What a kind and truly wonderful soul. She truly embodies the spirit of Paleochora: a loving, wholesome small town balancing the tourism business with genuine hospitality. Stella makes sure you feel like your every need is attended to and then goes up and beyond that. By the end of our stay, we took a family photo with her because it felt like we had created a home in this villa, and she was the catalyst behind that. For example, upon arrival was a home-cooked cake and fresh fruits from the garden (which BTW her oranges are the best oranges my family has ever tried!) and then again she made us a delicious dessert halfway through our trip. I could go on and on about her hospitality, but the main takeaway: she is the kind of host who makes you feel what Airbnb was originally supposed to make one feel: a home away from home. The second best thing was literally how the villa has everything you could possibly need: every kitchen utensil, towels upon towels upon towels, entire dental care packages (Stella is a dentist!), ALLL the best pool and beach toys, all the streaming apps on the TVs, amazing current blinds (darkest rooms we have ever experienced haha), perfect ACs, first aid kit, makeup remover and shampoo and body wash... Just trust me when I say if you can think of it, it is probably there already. Also, huge shout out to the cleaning service, specifically Kate, because she cleans better than I have ever cleaned in my whole life. She came twice free of charge during our 3 week visit and each time she left the crazy villa in a pristine state! Lastly: We were a family of 3 kids (15, 12, 9) and 6 adults, and I know for a fact this villa will forever hold a magical place in our hearts, especially the kids, with our 9 year old describing the trip as "a million out of ten".
Negative: The only drawback, and this has nothing to do with the villa or its owners but more to do with my lack of research, is the roads into the villa. The location is already quite isolated from any store (nearest shop is 8 min drive) but that wouldn't be an issue if half that time wasn't just trying to drive carefully over the steep and dangerously lined hills and hair pin turns. I was driving a van as we were a big group and there was one time moment where, since the road to the villa is one-way only capable, a truck nearly hit into us. So yeah, just keep this in mind when you're renting a car and if you're planning on leaving the villa often (to the main town is 20 mins of hair-pin turns on a cliff)
Summary: Stella will make your stay in Crete feel like a home, traditional experience.
