We are a family of 4, father and mother of a 1 and 3.5 year old, having our first family vacation abroad. If you look for a child-friendly place to stay, look no further. The pictures advertised are absolutely accurate, reality is even better! Communication with Marina was always fast and clear.
We were warmly welcomed by Marina's mother, who left us a big fruit basket and bottles of water.
Marina was not able to greet us personally, for very obvious reasons, but texted us if we were hungry and if she should order us some food, to be delivered at the villa. Over the 2 weeks we stayed, she helped us out a couple of times, 5-star service!!
Villa is great, the outdoor even better. It has so many things to do for children and babies. Our daughter loved the playground every day.
The villa and everything around it, is well taken care of, twice a week it is cleaned and provided with clean linnen and towels.
Location is perfect, less than 10 minutes out of the city center of Rethymno, but still feels remote, with a nice view of the Mediterranean Sea.
You will need a car to get to the villa and the final 100 meters is a private road, that might seem to be a bit scary, the first time you drive it.
The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. With young children, going out for dinner at night, is not that usual, so it's great to be able to cook what ever you want, not feeling handicapped. The bbq area is inviting for great outdoor evening dinners, while the front patio is great for early morning sun breakfasts.
We loved our stay, and would certainly recommend for everyone, especially families with young children. Thank you, Marina! We would love to come back!
