Host was great. We had a slight difficulty locating at first, but we asked someone at the taverna in the center and they took us up. The villa was nice. It is neatly decorated and provided ample space for my family of three. The private pool and patio area were great. If you are questioning whether or not you have your own private pool, do not, it is all yours and very private and nice. The AC was wonderful to come home to. This villa is in a great location if you have a car. There are a few taverna's in the village and a supermarket within a couple kilometers. You are less than 10 minutes from Rethimno and about 45 minutes from the southern coast. Rethimno has lots to do (eating, beach, shopping) and the southern coast was beautiful with good snorkeling spots. I would recommend this property to anyone who wants to be in a good central location, without being cramped in a hotel room, outside of the hustle of an urban environment.
