A very nice modern villa with great views across the bay to distant mountains and marvellous sunsets. A quiet residential location in the hills, with just the sound of cicadas as you relax by the pool. Occasional birds of prey ride the thermals above, dragonflies flutter by, the owner's cat wanders into the garden for a chat. The villa owner Eirini was a perfect host, living next door but not intruding, available at all times by text, booking restaurants and taxis for us. The villa suited 6 adults well, a bathroom for each couple, good aircon, good wifi, hot water available at good pressure at all times, filtered water available on tap at the kitchen sink was very welcome. The electronic entrance gate and shutters to all windows & doors made it feel very secure when leaving the villa to go out. Set in a small hamlet, but an excellent traditional restaurant within walking distance and easy road connections to nearby food shops and coffee bars. Further away Rethymno has plenty of shops, bars, cafes, restaurants to choose from. No hesitation in recommending Estella Villa, we had a great time.
