We loved the cosy rustic nature of the villa. Zina and her family are extremely friendly and helpful. The Villa is set on a mountain so having a vehicle with good horsepower is an advantage as the driveway in is steep, but certainly easy to climb. The villa has all the amenities you could wish for. The pool is lovely and refreshing. The view from the upper balcony on a starry night is a must! Zina, the owner, runs a taverna on site, and with a little notice she and her family cook amazing, authentic, traditional Greek cuisine. Do not miss this opportunity as her cooking is amazing. Meronas, a small village ten minutes away, has the best Taverna in the area. Run by Dina, it is on the left side, covered with vine leaves and decorations. Brilliant food. Gerakari is a five minute drive away and has a few tavernas and a small supermarket so you can stock up on essentials. Sat Nav's are useful, but we also used Google Maps on our Iphones as well. If you fancy a boat trip, contact Fanis at Rethmyno Cruises as he can take you out for a cruise and it is a wonderful opportunity. AND, you can swim in the sea. We would not hesitate to go back.
