We had such a lovely week at this villa and would not hesitate to recommend it. The pool was great, especially for kids as it is not too deep. The temperature of the water was lovely. We had an added surprise of access to the veggie patch which was full of delicious things like tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, melons, capsicums and corn. It was amazing! Plus, the fresh herbs in the garden were great. The house itself is fairly close to the village of Rethymno which has a gorgeous old town with great cafes, shops, bakeries and restaurants. There are a couple of local tavernas which also deliver to the villa which was super useful. Our hosts were also very available and attentive and had no issue in helping us, providing advice or anything that may have been missing. It was a great stay and would highly recommend.
