Villa Chrissi was absolutely stunning. We were a group of 5 adults and there was plenty of space. The villa is decorated to a high standard with air-con and the benefit of two pools (!) and lots of outdoor space to relax in. The biggest draw was the excellent outdoor pool - much bigger than many of the other villas we looked at and you are able to look out over the hills towards Rethymnon. The facilities were excellent and the villa is not overlooked. Doris went out of her way to make use feel welcome by ensuring the fridge was stocked with basics so we could have a snack on arrival. She provided an overview of the tavernas and beaches nearby, and even jumped in to help us out with a flat tyre! The villa's position and the excellent views made it a great base to explore Rethymno. there were great beaches (Episkopi and Gerani for snorkelling) a very short distance away, and we also drove to Heraklion and Rethymnon, the latter of which was only 20 minutes away. I would recommend Villa Chrissi as the perfect place to stay if you are looking for a balance of staying at the villa and visiting local towns and sights. All of the tavernas in the area (in Gerani village and nearby) were excellent - we had a lovely time here in September - weather was perfect, and would definitely come again to this stunning villa.
