We a group of 6 stayed at the Grotto home in the beginning of September. We absolutely loved our stay and give the highest recommendation possible to this house. I am an architect and a really picky one. This is a huge traditional house and it has been restored and reimagined into the perfect home, a real gem. Every corner and detail has been carefully considered. Also the garden is a slice of heaven. So many herbs, vegetables and fruits are yours for picking and enjoying. Along with the pool and terraces and trees in the property it makes for a beautiful setting in the landscape. We arrived late at night and Vangos our host made us really feel at home offering the best directions a full fridge of delicious surprices. Thank you Vangos. Also the communication was better than any other of my airbnb experiences. Vangos was always there on viber to give us tips on where to go and where to eat. We also recommend the local tavern in the village. Trust the waiter Kostas to do all the ordering. We went twice it was so good! Also the house is well located only a 25 min drive from Rethymnon and about a 35min drive to the beaches in the south. Thank you Vangos for our wonderful stay! We hope to come again soon!
