We were a family of eight: 5 adults and 3 children, and the villa was perfect for us. The excellent division of rooms with their private bathrooms was exactly what we needed. The villa is beautifully designed and decorated, and inspires calmness and tranquility. The view is absolutely spectacular, and the breeze was so ideal that we didn't have to turn on any of the air conditioners even once (we stayed during the first half of July).
The isolation of the villa was great, as it gave us a lot of privacy and peace. With plenty of supermarkets and restaurants less than a 10-15 drive away, we had everything we needed. The lovely city and beaches of Rethymno are just a 30 min drive away.
Eleni was a perfect host, allowing us early check in and late check out at our requests, waiting for us on arrival to show us the villa, and being attentive to everything we needed, responding immediately to our questions and requests, while leaving us in peace the rest of the time.
We miss the villa already and would love to come back to it!
