Our stay in Dreamcatcher was superb. It looked great in the pictures but was even better in real life. Manos was friendly and easy to deal with when booking, and met us upon arrival, offering us some Greek food and drinks. He helpfully told us about the island and some of the local attractions.
The villa itself was a gem of a find. It is remote enough, sat in a large garden, so little danger of disturbing neighbours, or being disturbed by them - except for the barking of guard dogs in the distance often from surrounding properties. The pool is huge, and the children's end a great idea. We had 4 children under 5 with us and they loved it - although it does need sun to warm it up and unfortunately we didn't have the fabled Greek weather for the first few days of our stay. The children's area was good too, there is now a fence separating it from the pool. When Manos popped by to see how we were getting on, we suggested that some plastic child friendly plates and cups would be a good idea for future guests. An hour later we found a brand new set hanging on the front door delivered by Manos - a lovely touch.
The villa is an €8 taxi journey to the local town Rethymno, but unfortunately it is not possible to walk there from the villa due to the lack of pavements. Rethymno itself is a decent sized town compromising of dozens of shops and restaurants - beautiful in places if you can find the little cobbled streets. We were a party of 11 and between us all ate out in Rethmyno somewhere different every night, and had no bad restaurant experiences.
We had a lovely chef/housemaid by the name of Eleni who provided us with a fresh breakfast every morning, prepared and cooked in front of us. Both hot and cold foods served, mostly traditional Greek dishes. A great service I cannot recommend enough. Only a shame we could not speak Greek so we could ensure she knew how much we appreciated her services.
