This is a lovely traditional house set in a lovely peaceful garden. The pool was a real bonus - our children love to swim so it was lovely to return to at the end of the day- as well as before and after breakfast! The house was very clean and had everything you needed. The location was in the countryside between Rethymno and Chania . The local villages had a great bakery at Vryses, Jon the butcher in Vamos. There is a nice local Taverna down the road ( turn left out of the gate) 5 mins away.
The location was good to visit interesting archaeological sites, such as Aperta, Knossos (1.5 hrs away), and Botanical gardens with nice restaurant.
Andreas was a great host - and it was so nice to be welcomed with local pastries , wine, fruit, water etc when we arrived. Much appreciated. Andreas was very prompt with communication and helpful during our stay.
Local beach Alymerida 20 mins away has nice shallow warm water with parking opposite beach.
We hope to return again as we had such a lovely relaxing time .
