The views really are breathtaking, especially sunsets. But the views at any time of day are fantastic. The place was better than the photos. We enjoyed being in the villa, and it was an easy drive to hiking and to restaurants. Driving a few towns out there are delightful tavernas. And we clocked about 15 minutes into Rethymno Old Town as well. The WiFi was not working. Maximos came by and set up a cell phone hot spot wasn't terrific but at least we had WiFi. Our own cell phones struggled a bit. Very well maintained place. Beautiful night sky. Extremely private. Felt very safe. Would definitely stay here again! Maximos and Maria were responsive to questions. A great find!
