Fantastic 2 weeks spent here. Communication great from the start with Alex and throughout. Our flight was delayed by a few hours which made our arrival 1.30am but this wasn’t a problem to the lovely Rozenn who lives in the villa next door and greeted us with a warm welcome. Homemade moussaka and cake, along with wine, spirit and local olive oil. Everything we needed was provided, including pool towels which is a suitcase space saver! The villa is very traditional in decor which we loved and has air con in all the bedrooms. It gets the sun all day until the stunning sunset in the evening. We had housekeeping 3 times while there which was a welcome surprise. Rozenn is there should you need her and Alex’s mum next door so has a lovely family feel but entirely left on your own.
Location wise, you are up a very steep hill and a car is essential, but the view is amazing. You are a short drive to gorgeous Rethymno which has everything you need and a lovely vibe. Get lost for a few hours in the maze of the old town and the beautiful alleys and shops. So much to choose eating wise. Beautiful beach and harbour. Lots of interesting places to visit locally or further afield or just lazy days by the pool with a gentle breeze. BBQ in the evening and watch the sunset on the fabulous terrace. Or enjoy coffee on the balcony and take in the fabulous views.
Crete is a gorgeous island and the villa just made it perfect. Would definitely recommend.
