Can't recommend this place highly enough. It's in a great location for exploring the wonderful island of Crete - just a couple of minutes to drive to the local town and beaches, with tavernas and shops and all conveniences, but being up in the mountains means you get the lovely cool mountain air in the evenings, and of course the amazing views! We've lovely memories of family meals on the balcony. Also very close to Rethimno, and the beautiful harbour and back streets to explore. We also did a day trip to the south coast, and to Knossos, it all felt very easy. The local beach had a great beach club with a pool and waterslides which our kids loved, but it's also perfect for couples wanting a bit of R&R.

Sotiria and her sisters made us feel so welcome and were very helpful with anything we wanted, but the way the building is designed means each separate house feels very private, the pool in particular isn't overlooked and is surrounded by lovely flowers and plants, a real oasis. The house itself is all very clean and brand new, very light and airy, a perfect holiday home. Crete has so much to offer, we will definitely be going back.
