If you are looking for a clean, beautiful, newly constructed villa with some peace and quiet, this is the place for you. The private pool is also fantastic and the views across the island and out to the sea are splendid. Lina also kindly let us borrow a local cell so that we could call for takeaway and reach her in case of emergency.

The villa is located outside a small village about 15mins from Rethymno. Lina kindly met us at the turnoff from the highway to guide us to the villa to avoid driving through the narrow streets of the village. It's best to have a rental car if you wish to stay here as it's quite far from public transport options.

The villa is quite spacious with three bedrooms and 4 toilets/3 showers. Lots of outside seating areas and balconies as well. Also has a security alarm if you feel you want to use it, although the only intruders are likely to be the goats roaming in the field next to the property!

We had a powerful thunderstorm hit one morning that took out the electricity and within hours Lina's father came out and fixed the problem. Lina also speaks English very well, which was helpful and communication was great with quick feedback/response time.

A brilliant, peaceful holiday villa and the photos are very accurate.
