VanGos was wonderfully flexible and communicative. I didn't realize that I would need to be communicating with him once I was in Crete and thusly didn't adjust my phone plan to accommodate that - a note on the door let us know to meet him at the taverna and he would let us in - so easy. I managed to make things even more difficult by dropping my phone in water halfway through the trip, but VanGos patiently helped us figure out other if less direct ways to be in touch - very helpful!

I can't say many new things, but I can happily vouch for the other reviews- VanGos keeps his property immaculate. He is friendly, interesting and has awesome recommendations on what to do in the area (he is not afraid to tell you if he doesn't recommend what you have planned so you can trust that he is honest lol).

The location of the villa is stunning but not for people who like to be in the middle of the action! The quiet mountain breezes were so peaceful. Easy drives to Rethymno and Chania.

Looking at pictures of the villa while writing this review is pulling at my heartstrings - I would teleport myself back in a second if I could. thanks for a great stay, VanGos!
