We had a wonderful stay at the villa and Fragkiskos is an amazing host. He waited for us at the villa when we arrived and showed us around. The villa is brand new, exceptionally clean and modern. The kitchen and the BBQ area has everything you may need to cook a lovely meal from the fresh local food. We were pleased to discover a garden planted for the quests of the villa with a good selection of local herbs, an orange tree and some vegetables. The area is quiet and beautiful. The villa is surrounded by olive tree gardens. I am sure it gets busier during a high season but in October it was very quiet and peaceful which we really enjoyed coming from a big city. You do need a car but everything is pretty close. There a few grocery shops and a few bakeries just a few minute drive away. We usually went to Rethimno - a 20 min drive - for dinner. There also a few very nice and kid friendly beaches nearby which Fragkiskos recommended. We were not lucky with the weather as it rained for a few days when we were there but we enjoyed staying in on those days. I should also mention that Fragkiskos was very easy to reach. He responded to all our questions and requests very quickly and was very pleasant to communicate with. A day before we left he even treated us to a bottle of delicious wine from his family's estate. Overall, we were very pleased with the experience and recommend it to other airbnb users.
