We had a great time, this house has pretty much everything one might need. The views across the coast are stunning. There are beautiful beaches around and in October there were only few people around - you can have parts of the beaches only for yourself. There are also several great taverns around Kerames (also in Kerames, but we haven't tried those), so even though it's no problem to cook your own meal at home you can always go out and have a nice dinner. Also, Rethymnon is only about an hour drive away, so it's possible to escape the countryside and stroll around the city (which is pretty touristy though).
