We had an amazing time in this villa. All was completely as the pictures showed us, and we were welcomed by the extremely serviceminded and helpful owners. House is perfect for 2 families (4 adults/4 kids), we could live in one house each - providing privacy, but still very social surroundings in the garden area. The owners were in regular contact with us and agreed to stop by regularly to clean, change sheets and even left fresh fruit and vegetables for us. Everything we needed was in the house, everything from spices, fruits and water in the kitchen, to fresh towels, cleaning/washing detertents, games - everything. House was clean and garden perfectly laid out with a lawn, play area, shade, garden furniture and sunbeds and of course with a super pool (a low and a deep end - fits all ages) And the owners and Valia kindly assisted with advise on renting cars, recommendations for restaurants, what to see in Crete, etc. You will need a car to live here - unless you want to walk uphill each day. But it is only 5-10 minutes drive from Rethymno. All in all, we can only give our absolute best recommendations for everyone else to rent this villa.
