What an amazing place! The studios are in a village called Astipopolou above Reythmno. It's a quiet village where a lot of the locals seem to live.
We were welcomed by the hosts who were absolutely lovely, so welcoming and friendly and who genuinely want to help you have a great holiday.
The studios themselves are beautiful, an oasis when you walk in. The pool is gorgeous and they have a lovely roof terrace which would be ideal for big family meals although we were a couple.
The rooms themselves were spacious and clean and really charming, I think ours was built in the 18th century.
Snacks (delicious nibbles and cakes) and drinks are provided throughout but there is a supermarket next door is you want to eat in some nights. 100 metres away is a wonderful taverna called Manoli's which is very traditional Greek cooking done by his wife, delicious.
We did need to hire a scooter to get to the main sites, the beach etc would be too far to walk (we tried) but we hired one for 35 euros per day in Rethymno. If you do hire a car/scooter then make sure you visit St Anthony's gorge, Samaria Gorge and Prevali palm beach. Spilli a quaint village in the hills and Plakias a fantastic beach town too. Everyone of these was an amazing day and made Crete my favourite of the islands (we've been to most). The old Venetian town in Rethymno is definitely worth visiting but the large beach in the new part wasn't very nice so keep to the old part! It's a good place to get cheap hire car deals though as well as trips sorted.
All in all a holiday to remember, and I couldn't recommend these studios enough.
