We have just returned from the most amazing week holiday at Villa Aspa. The villa itself is exactly as described, a beautiful quintessential Cretan villa. Exactly as you see in the photos.
We spent our days relaxing by the (huge) pool and the views from the pool over the mountains are stunning.
The villa is remote, but that’s the beauty it, we had complete privacy and were still only a 10 minute drive from shops, supermarkets and Tavernas. Highly recommend Taverna Mantalos in Margarites, the food there was some of the best we had during our stay and you can watch the sun set there with views over the mountains, just beautiful.
For something livelier, we spent 2 evenings in Rethymnon – so many shops, bars and lovely restaurants by the sea. Nikos was even kind enough to drive us into Rethymnon on one of the evenings as he was already up at the villa and we got a taxi back for around 40 euros.
Nikos was also kind enough to book us a table at Lemonokipos, the restaurant he recommend to us in Rethymnon. We were extremely well looked after at the restaurant, food was amazing and the setting in a garden amongst the lemon trees was perfect.
WIFI at the villa is a also massive plus.
Nikos as a host was just the best!!!
We highly recommend the villa and cannot wait to return one day.
Thanks again Nikos for everything :)
