Nearby are the amazing monastery of arkadi and also the Archaeological site of Elutherna which is still revealing its Archaic  secrets from 900 BCE.

We did not hear even the neighbours from adjoining villas,

You can only ask for a villa without children as direct neighbours (as we did),

She treated our daughter with chocolates and made the best dinner.

The kitchen, fridge and cooker were spotless, well equipped for a quick lunch,

There are also so great restaurants and bars up in the hills which you wouldn't be able to access without a car.

We tended to drive down, park up and enjoy the beach, bars, restaurants and play areas.

)The manager was ready to offer us a complimentary dinner for the 3 of us just to make up for the mistake
breakfast was nice varied and with a different cooked cretan specialities every day.

Rethymno town is about 20 minutes drive and we had dinner there on two occasions in the old part of town which is very lively and full of excellent tavernas as well as the sprawling ancient 16th century citadel.

We booked breakfast at the restaurant, which was very nice -

We had 2 bottles of water and small bottle of Raki (local Greek alcohol) in our villa when we arrived which was a nice treat.

Room service everyday including cleaning of the pool.

The food is fantastic, the villas are lovely and clean, the beautiful little private pools are perfect for a quick dip.

but if you've become used to the particular standards of chains, it's going to be a challenge for you 

Positives:

+ individual approach to each visitor
+ big, well equipped apartments
+ daily checking of the private swimming pool, so it’s always pure and clean
+ tasty food
+ daily washing and changing towels (including beach towels)
+ very friendly, helpful and nice people – everyone.

The taste of the decoration, the cleaningness, the food, everything is close to perfection.

Very modern well kept stunning villas, owners very helpful, the restaurant on site was fabulous and they even delivered the meal to our room as our friends has a small baby who was sleeping.

One night we chose to have a dinner in the hotel's restaurant which is also a very good choice (nice food / good prices).

although we chose to eat breakfast and several dinners at the hotel, highly recommend :)
The villas was practical with good cleaning.

The villas were comfortable and clean, the owners and the staff were great, and the food in the resturant was very good.

At carme villas you have the perfect combination of your own private house in which you can cook and do your own things and also to get to know others at the community places like the playground and the restaurant.

On the last evening we ate a very good dinner in the Carme Villas restaurant,expecially I miss super good tsaziki and dolmades which have been made zucchiniflowers,yammy!!

however nothing was too much for the staff, we had a great dinner and one night stay here.

And the second bedroom is practically a tiny extension of the master bedroom with just a set of pull-out single beds leaving no space even to open the door.

There are two bedrooms on the first floor of each villa and 2 bathrooms as well as a fully equipped kitchen and fridge in the downstairs living area.

A high chair and baby cot were waiting for us upon our arrival.

So, we ended up using the sofa bed in the living room as the second bedroom which itself was somewhat uncomfortable.

In our case, warming up baby food using regular stove was very uncomfortable
- no 24/7 on duty reception, so if you need smth urgently, you sometimes need to search for someone or call a mobile

Carme Villas declared as 5-star aparthotel.
