Grecotel Villa Oliva

Absolutely lovely hotel with exceptional staff. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. We had the most amazing stay and didn’t want to leave.

We recently stayed at Villa Olive in Adelianos Kampos, near Rethymno, and had a very pleasant experience. This charming boutique hotel offers a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a comfortable stay in this part of Crete. The staff were exceptionally friendly, smiling, and genuinely welcoming throughout our visit, helping to create a warm and enjoyable experience. The hotel has a lovely pool area, and our room was spacious and well appointed. One particular highlight was the bathroom, which featured a huge shower and plenty of space. Breakfast was excellent, with a good selection of fresh and tasty options to start the day. The only downside during our stay was that the air conditioning in the room was not working effectively. As it was a particularly hot evening, this made it difficult to fully enjoy the room and get comfortable overnight. Despite this issue, Villa Olive is a lovely hotel with great service and a welcoming atmosphere. If you are looking for a good mid-range hotel in the Rethymno area of Crete, I would certainly recommend it.

Went to Crete for a short trip in May and could't stay in a better place than Villa Oliva: Nice and clean rooms with enough space, the most awesome, friendly and helpful staff you could imagine, delightful breakfast and good vibes with all the other guest. Pool is clean, you'll find many dining opportunities nearby. In short: Highly recommended, would love to visit again.

Stayed sept 2025 this a totally honest review. arrived to a warm welcome shown to lovely ground floor room opposite the pool with a terrace the room was lovely and very clean. The mattress was very soft and lumpy maybe it is time for a change of mattress The breakfast was lovely great coffee and omeletes. All the staff were kind and respectful and very helpful. The pool area was lovely but the hand rails at the steps to get into the pool were wobbly so i did not go in as i felt unsecure it was a shame shops and eateries are close by. I would go back again in 2026 if the mattress was changed for a harder one and the hand rails were stabalised so i could use the pool thanks to all the staff for their hard work.

Our last day here and it has been one of the most relaxing week's holiday we have had. We are with our 2 teen daughters and opted for the 2 bedroom "apartment " which worked really well, the girls have own room/bathroom/balcony. The pool and loungers are lovely. We spent every day by the pool and it was very chilled with guests coming and going. Pool cleaning at 6.30pm so need to vacate by then. The best parts of the hotel are the breakfasts but most importantly are.the staff. Very friendly, helpful and are the face of this beautiful hotel. We will be recommending it and hope to visit again!
