We enjoyed our stay in villa Koroneiki. It is the first villa in a row that you come across when you drive up. The other two houses are identical. One advantage of this particular house is that you can enjoy the sun on the pool for the longest time. Adding an extra bed for a 9th guest was no problem. The bedroom downstairs had enough room for this. A car is definitely needed. A small supermarket is at the bottom of the hill, but we went to the much larger Lidl in Rethymno.
Special thanks to the manager Panos who guided us very well during our stay. He is quick to respond and has good tips for restaurants and activities in the area. The canyoning activity he recommended was great. He is also the one to contact for hiking tours. It was a top stay and a recommendation for anyone who wants to stay in luxury on Crete.
