Savas and Maria were the perfect hosts and are genuinely nice people! They met us at a convenient location and drove ahead of us all the way to the villa. Maria was extremely helpful in giving us tips for (exceptional!) nearby restaurants, beaches and things to do in general. When we got to the villa, we found a lovely bottle of red wine, lots of fresh fruit, water in the fridge and everything we needed for tea and coffee (including coffee pods for the Nespresso machine!). Both Maria and Savas were available throughout our stay and checked in on us via WhatsApp to make sure we did not need anything. They also organized for the villa to be cleaned at our convenience.
The villa itself is just WOW! Better than represented in the photos actually. Beautiful views over the Aegean, stunning sunsets, olive groves everywhere- all in a very peaceful, stylish, comfortable and well equipped space. It felt so like our home for the 6 days we spent there! If you are looking to recharge in a beautiful space, this is the place to go!
I'd recommend having your own car, though, to get to restaurants, beaches and sights if this is on your agenda. Rethymno town is about 25 minutes away from here and Arkadi Monastery is equally close by.
We will return to this villa, for sure!
