Lovely villa surrounded by idyllic gardens. The Eco garden is a fantastic touch and the vegetables are delicious!!! Although on a main road, the area in quiet and relaxing.
Kostas was helpful throughout and his communication is great.
The pool lights only stay on for an hour at night but I'm sure Mrs Elli would be happy to extend the time.
The house is very traditional but the modern amenities (air con, wifi) work well. The bathroom shower is handheld and would be better fixed to wall but this didn't dampen our experience.
We requested a shop before arrival, which was perfect, as we landed very late.
Mrs Elli left us traditional Greek delicacies in the fridge which we could enjoy on the nights we barbecued.
It's 6km from Rethymnon, so you would ideally need a car, although there's a good bus service from the town of Prines. Prines is a 10 minute walk from the villa and there's a fantastic taverna called Giovanis and a great little convenience store near the wine bar.
Rethymnon is stunning, lovely shops and great restaurants!
Mrs Eli or Giovanis will call you a taxi into Rethymnon, as many taxi drivers do not know where the villa is. It should be around 10-12 euros into reythmnon, agree a price before to avoid being ripped off.
Overall, we had a fantastic time and would return to this lovely villa.
