We spent great holidays in the Villa Elia in Lampini (2 weeks in September)
Nikos, the host, is very friendly. As we arrived late in the evening when the supermarkets were already closed, Nikos left us food for the breakfast. Another day he brought us some local pastry.
He his also very reactive and answered rapidly all questions we had before and during the stay.
The villa is well located in a quite area but only 30 minutes drive from Rethymnon in the north and at the same distance from the beaches in the south. Lampini is located 10 minutes drive from Spili where you can find supermarkets, bakeries and restaurants.
The swimming pool is oriented towards the south and in September we got sun on the pool from the morning until the late afternoon. The rear of the villa, where the pool is located, provides rather good privacy. There is also a nice view on the mountainous landscape.
We definitely recommend the Villa Elia.
