Booking Information
Change-over days are totally flexible but are subject to existing bookings taken either side. If a booking means that the owner would be left with too many "void" days we might not be able to accept it. If this is the case we will contact you without delay to discuss alternatives.
Payment can be made by bank transfer to our sterling account or by debit or credit card (Mastercard or Visa) only.
Our travel information provides details of how to get to Crete including flights to both Chania and Heraklion airports.
If you want to book, please use the availability chart above to check your dates, you can then either book on-line, email or call us on 0330 111 0061.
Please note: although the calendars show live availability and you can book on-line, please note that your booking is not confirmed until we have issued a confirmation of booking. You may prefer not to book your flights until we have confirmed the booking.
Low occupancy discounts - unfortunately the online booking system automatically calculates the single couple or small party discount based on the number of people entered onto the booking form and the start day of your rental. There are 2 problems with this:-
a) If you are 2 people but not a single couple, or 3 or 4 people but not 2 + 1 or 2 + 2, the system will have automatically calculated a discount when it is not due. Please make use of the "additional notes" box on the booking form to tell us and we will adjust the price accordingly before we confirm your booking.
b) If your rental overlaps from a discounted period to a non-discounted one (or vice versa), the discount calculated will be wrong. In these cases we have to make the adjustment manually. You can still book on-line but we will need to change the price on receipt of your booking request. If the price increases we will contact you to confirm the new price before we confirm your booking and take your deposit.
Please don't let either of these issues put you off making a booking. The discounts are genuine and our villa owners welcome couples and smaller parties out of high season. We just can't fine tune the booking system to account for these 2 circumstances - sorry.
Reviews
Villa Thymari is new to Crete Escapes for 2025. Guest reviews shown below are provided courtesy of the villa owners.
The house is a lovely place. It had all the necessities to enjoy a relaxing time in Crete. The beds were very comfortable and the patios were a great place to sit and enjoy the sea and mountain views. We had dinner most nights outdoors, and enjoyed grilling our dinners on the open air bbq - September 2024.
This was our first time to Crete and loved our stay. The villa made our trip extra special and it was truly stunning. We enjoyed the fresh fruit from the beautiful garden and the pool area. The villa is very private and the views are exceptional. The villa was very clean an orderly with many amenities. The large gated driveway made it nice with having two vehicles. We explored many of the nearby beaches and villages. Thank you for a lovely stay - August 2024.
Stunning villa with all the amenities. Nice size rooms and appointed nicely with beautiful linens and coverings. Pool is very large and very private. We enjoyed lounging by the pool and our swims each day. Eating outdoors was very enjoyable on the upstairs veranda and poolside. Nice balconies off of all of the bedrooms as we enjoyed our morning and afternoon tea. Upon our return to Crete, we will holiday at this villa - July 2024.
Lovely experience. House is clean and the pool is amazing! Thanks for a great exchange - July 2024.
We live in Provence and love to holiday in Crete. This villa is by far our favorite. The villa is stunning. The views are magnificent and we very much enjoyed the sunsets. We spent much time in the pool and enjoyed the bbq area. Very close to nice beaches and lovely villages. Thank you for a wonderful stay - June 2024.
The villa is very nice and the area is beautiful. All the rooms in villa look like they have been professionally decorated and all the appliances are upscale and modern. Everything was fine and we spent good time in Crete. We enjoyed the villa so much that we are returning again in 2025 for another week - June 2024.
We had an amazing experience with our stay at this villa. The interior is beautifully decorated with all the amenities you would desire. The outdoor areas are incredible with views of the sea and mountains. Our family loved to enjoy all of our meals outside and got to view amazing sunrises and sunsets. Pool and bbq area are lovely and we never wanted to leave the villa. The location was perfect and close to popular beaches. There are several markets also very close by. Will return again. A very memorable family vacation - May 2024.
This was our first trip to Crete and it did not disappoint. We loved the location of this villa as it was so close to many beautiful beaches and charming villages. Many markets also very close by and you are walking distance to a lovely village called Plaka were there was live music some evenings. While we did explore the island it was often difficult to leave as the villa was so nice. We loved the outdoor space – the pool, verandas and bbq area. The villa was a very good size and the cathedral ceilings in the family room and kitchen added extra charm. All modern appliances and cookware made cooking meals very easy and enjoyable. The views, including the sunsets were breathtaking and we loved using the telescope on the upstairs veranda to watch the activity in the sea. All of the villa extras made our stay extra special - May 2024.
