I stayed at Irini's villa with my dad, brother and sister for a week in September and had a truly fantastic time. Irini herself is an exceptional host - very happy and keen to help out/offer local recommendations for places to visit/eat at etc., and also very understanding of our late check-in on Day 1. The villa is amazing - very spacious and clean, and the AC in the rooms definitely helped a lot on some of the "hot" nights in September. The pool and garden area were incredibly peaceful, given the location of the villa, and the pool was cleaned each morning by Irini's father (who lives just next door). The village is very quiet (just two small tavernas) so you absolutely need a car to get out-and-about, but the drive to the beach/Rethymno is pretty quick and straightforward, and Irini also helped organise us a taxi so we could go out in Rethymno one night. Overall, myself and my family had a fantastic time - we'd definitely stay here again!
