This place was lovely, super clean with an amazing view. The road is very quiet and although the apartment is part of the family's villa it was very quiet, private and peaceful.
We arrived late and Chara's partner met us at the bottom of the road to direct us, which was really kind. We had fresh linen and towels every 3/4 days which was a nice touch as well. Overall I would recommend this place and the location.
There are lovely beaches along the south coast of Rethymnon and I recommend getting a car to drive round the island. We would also recommend the Olive taverna which is a 15 minute drive from the house.
