Stayed in July 2022, had a lovely time. The road up is twisty and needs a diesel and good hill start skills but that’s part of the fun! Being in the hills is lovely - a cooling breeze and privacy - compared to the heat/chaos of Rethymnon town.
Not quiet though, millions of cicadas (part of the joy of crete!) and we enjoyed chatting to the goats and donkey from the pool…
Well worth a visit. Use of the washing machine was an unplanned bonus. Do go to Mili Gorge and pick your beach days carefully (wind speed often 15kph plus for us and the lifeguards understandably close swimming on those days)…
