Maria made us feel so welcome - she showed us to our rooms and made us delicious welcome drinks of freshly-squeezed orange juice. The room was great for us for our last night in Crete. 2 connected rooms (there is no door between them) with comfortable king size bed in one and 2 single beds in the other, which also has a small kitchen unit, fridge etc. An ensuite shower/toilet is attached to the double bedroom. The a/c in the main bedroom efficiently cooled the whole apartment in late July

Outside, on a private terrace area, is a tiny pool (a cool hot-tub!) - just perfect for cooling off after a hot day, sight-seeing. Our teenagers loved this place and we so wish we had been able to stay longer.

From the terrace are stunning views, West over Rethymnon and the adjacent gorge. The taverna is in an amazing location. We had arranged to meet friends in town, so did not have dinner there but we did have a delicious breakfast, in the morning sun.

Maria was so kind and hospitable. We felt as if we had known her for a long time.
