A wonderful experience all around. The villa is a perfect blend of rustic and modern, a nicely restored really old house in a very cool ancient village on a lovely hill just a couple miles outside the lovely harbor town of Rethymno. We spent a lot of time on the rooftop veranda, and a lot of time by the pool, both of which were magnificently relaxing. It didn't hurt that there's an amazing Taverna with a 270-degree view of the mountains and the sea about a five minute walk up the hill. Nektarios is a delightful host. He was there to greet us, showed us around very efficiently, and was at the other end of the phone (or email) whenever we needed anything. We also had a great time chatting with him about Greek politics and economics whenever he came to clean the pool.
