These remote villas were the perfect thing for our weekend in Crete! The views from the villa are outstanding and the villa itself is beautiful, a big thank you to Emmanouil and Mrs Rumy for being so helpful and welcoming! We will definitely be back :)
We have just returned from a fantastic summer holiday at the Amari Villas. We rented Villa Idi as a stand alone villa for part of our stay and Villas Idi and Samitos together when we were joined by friends and their families during our stay. Amari village is located in a dramatic and beautiful landscape with amazing views from both villas. The setting is peaceful and allows for complete relaxation. Both villas are superbly equipped and have been designed and refurbished to an extremely high standard. Amari has a Kafenion in the square visible from the Villas, there is a Taverna 5-10 minutes away at Meronas which is extremely friendly with great food and service. We have stayed in rented villas in Turkey, Spain, Italy and France over the past twenty years. What really sets Villa Amari apart is the brilliant information and advice from Manolis (who was very flexible with our varying group sizes and arrival times) and the housekeeper, Mrs.Rumy who lives in an apartment below Villa Idi. As well as looking after all our needs (advice on where to buy bread, vegetables etc.), she cooked us some fabulous meals and supplied very drinkable red and white wine as and when required. Thank you Maniolis and Mrs.Rumy for making a fantastic stay even better - we will be back!

I booked the villa IDI about 3 months ago and since Mr. Manolis had kept in touch with me to give me all the information I need, and a best service. He was waiting for us when we arrived to the villa, despite of our delay in getting greeted us with great sympathy, gave us an explanation about the villa and the area, entertainment options, and introduced us to the housekeeper. Mr. Manolis suggested we call him any problem arose, but we had no need for that. Was not missing anything. Beautifully maintained home. It has everything a family needs: a very equipped kitchen, neat and clean rooms, washing machine, mosquito devices per room, games for children and adults, videost, free internet. He also took care of basic necessities so that we can begin the leisurely vacation. We felt Mr. Manolis host us at his own home from the heart. It was an amazing experience for us. We enjoyed every minute of it. I have no doubt that if we return to Crete, we will come back to IDI villa. On this occasion I would like to thank him on behalf of all the family for the attention he gave to each of us.
