We loved our holiday at this villa and are sorry to leave. The villa is better than it appears in the listing. It is really well equipped for cooking and barbecuing. It had beautiful outdoor areas, gardens and a fantastic pool area.
The villa is in a lovely rural location giving a really peaceful holiday. We had a car for our 2 week stay, which I would recommend, but we also walked to lake Kournas (20 minutes) and Georgiopoulis (30 minutes).
We have been to the area a number of times before and have usually stayed in Georgioupolis, but as there were 7 of us this time, we wanted a large villa. The area is beautiful, with lots of local walks you can do from the villa. There is also good access to Rethymnon, Chania and the white mountains.
Pascale gave us helpful recommendations for places to eat and he suggested Georgia’s taverna near the lake for the best food in the area, and we really agreed with him. although everywhere we ate had a friendly atmosphere and good food.
Thanks to Pascale and Elani for being so welcoming and helpful. We had an issue with hot water and Elani came as soon as we reported it, and it was solved very quickly.
We can’t recommend the villa enough and would love to return again in the future.
