we've just come back from six weeks in daph's wonderful house and miss the warmth and the lovely atmosphere already. we can absolutely and fully recommend it to anyone that needs relaxation and comfort of a place that feels much more like a second home than like a hotel.

the location is quite perfect, overseeing beautful rethimno town and the deep blue sea. 3 mins from the highway right in the middle between chania and iraklio, 1 min from the main road to all the fantastic beaches of southern crete (35 spectacular car-minutes to plakias, preveli, shinaria, souda). the centre of rethimno itself is merely 10 min by car, close to the house (though only accessible by car) is a very nice bakery/minimarket. the streets and the nearby (though not visible) gasstation are hardly heard from the huge terrace and the beautiful barbeque-place.

daph and her husband took perfectly care of us, they provided us with all the important info about lesser known (southern) beaches, non-touristy restaurants etc. but the place is also big enough to enjoy every privacy needed.

We will definitely come back!
