Our stay at Villa Brao was simply perfect.
The communication with Maria before our stay was really easy as she provided us with all the necessary information well before our stay and was always available for questions.
The apartment itself was absolutely clean and tidy. Beyond that, Maria’s mother, who lives close by (and is a wonderful host!), cleans the apartment every three days.
Rodakino is a quiet village with (in our opinion) some of the most beautiful beaches of Crete close by. The tavernas in the neighbouring villages are superb. There’s a mini market right in the village, and a bigger one just 5 minutes by car. That being said, a rental car is an absolute necessity to explore the surroundings and to get the most out out your stay - even though it is, of course, also beautiful to just stay in the apartment, take a dip in the pool once in a while, and enjoy the view of the ocean.
We truly had a wonderful time at Villa Brao and hope to come back soon!
