The villa was great - there were 17 of us and more than enough space. The pool area is really nice and kitchen well equipped. We always could contact villa personnel easily and quickly, they were all really nice and ready to help us with whatever problem we had. Nearby there were cozy tavernas with great food so we visited there many evenings. Because the villa is pretty far from beach or city of Rethymno, renting a car or being prepared to use a lot of taxis (around 10-15€ to the city) is a must.
All and all, we had a great holiday, Crete as a destination is really versatile with lot of things to see and do and this villa made our trip even better, there is nothing negative to say about it!
