This review really is more about Irini than the house, but let me say the house was perfect for us! The location is excellent, its away from the tourist bustle of Rethymno, and easy driving distance to a months worth of activities. Perama and all the villages around are excellent. Irini was unbelievable, all that she did for us and her family did is just impossible to explain. Fresh milk, fresh eggs, she found us a babysitter and booked us night out at a great restaurant and set massages for us. Incredible customer service and hospitality, and very friendly to us. Did I mention the house was awesome too? But Irini and the villages around us was the best part of our stay. We felt we got to see the real Crete, not just a canned sugered version in a resort!
