We were met by Michael when we arrived late at night. He was very helpful, explained everything and was able to answer all our questions. We chose to stay in this spot as we prefer a quite place where we can relax, cook for ourselves and enjoy the environment. Mamis did not let us down! It is in a wonderful location in the mountains (so a car is needed) but close enough to the town of Rethymno for all your needs, and it is a great spot for exploring the rest of the island from (Chania and Heraklion are both a little over 1 hour away). We unfortunately had pretty poor weather (for April) with very strong winds, heavy rain and a cool 12 degrees, this made it difficult to heat the house - but that is so unusual for Crete!
