We have stayed 11 adults and 5 kids at this villa. We were super happy about this stay. Hospitality and support provided by Manos is priceless. The location of villa itself is amazing. It's surrounded by nature, but also you can reach shops even by foot (if you are not afraid of sun) or by car in a minute. Rethymno is a very beautiful city very close by, you can go there by taxi or your rented vehicle. It's also in a middle between Chania and Heraklion which is perfect for daily longer travels. Villa is very spacious so no tention between the people living in there, all of us could find our own zen zones to stay remote if needed. Not to mention a perfect breakfast!
Would definitely come back and recommend others too.
