We stayed as a family of 4 at Antiopi Villa in August 2022. Maria really is a fantastic host and very warm and friendly, with good communication and really welcoming and helpful (great tips and advice and even booked us a couple of restaurants). The villa is nice and spacious and as described and well equipped with all the facilities that we needed, the garden (with it's ancient olives) and pool are fantastic. We found that the location of the villa was perfect, in a peaceful quiet location, but close enough for a short drive to local restaurants and Rethymno. Also easy enough for exploring along the coast to some great beaches etc.
