We are a family of 5 (three teens) and found Maria's home to be bested only by her hospitality. We had one regret, we wish we had stayed longer. The house is well equipped for those who like to cook in and conveniently located near lovely dining in Panorma and a lovely drive to Rethymno for those who want more choice. We did a mix of both, cooked in twice (once inside and once in the BBQ) and ate out twice in Panormo for dinner. The pool is lovely and refreshing and everything is just as we would have wanted it. We could not have had a nicer stay and Maria was very responsive when we had issues (one of which was total user error). I can not overstate how lovely her hospitality is and the house as well.
