Our stay at the old windmill was one of the best airbnb experiences we had so far. The house is really nicely decorated and situated in a wonderfull garden with beautifull flowers. There are several places to sit depending on the time of day and shade.
The kitchen is equipped with the basics for cooking and we even used the bbq twice. The two ac units work perfectly and cooled us down on these hot summer days.
It's a bit outside of Rethymno and you definately have to have a car, but this has lots of upsides too. It's really quite except for the normal rural sounds(chickens, onsects, dogs).
You can reach destinations easily on the whole island as this is located in the middle of it. That also goes for the more populare beaches and sights.
Virginia is a great host and was always available for questions with quick answers. We would definately stay here again and recommend it!
