This place does exactly what is says on the tin. The photos are as per reality. The kitchen is well equipped. We cooked 50% of our holiday meals and there was everything I needed. The outside space is very generous with plenty of shade throughout the day. Our children had great fun in the pool. The internal space is also generous for 4 people. But particularly 2 adults and 2 children. The aircon was fabulous and a washing machine was a real bonus. The communal drive way is large and well kemp. George and Maria do a great job at keeping everywhere looking shipshape. It is quite a rural location (for us that didn’t matter at all) and you will definitely need a car. It is only a 15 mins drive to Lidl or there are small road side mini markets dotted about 5-7 mins drive. There are tavernas dotted about too and a quick google and trip adviser search will soon point you in the right direction. Taverna Armos in Maroulas is worth a visit. Don’t be put off by the odd ways of reaching some of them!! The old town at Rethymno is definitely worth a trip, particularly in the evening when it’s cooler and has a lovely vibrant buzz about it. A place of note is restaurant Avli in Rethymno. A fabulous restaurant with different dinning options. Again Google search should see you right. We had a great stay and would recommend this villa.
We flew into Chania and the drive to the villa took around an 1 hour 30 mins. You pretty much pass Lidl en route so is worth stopping for essentials before reaching the villa.
