The place is inside a small strip of pines, almost totally secluded from other properties and eyes. It's brand new, very clean, has a pool that is just great for kids and a very large space outside where you can take your breakfast or dine or just Grill. The location is much better than being in the center of Rethymno because it's super close to the National Road between Chania and Rethymno, so there is no traffic wherever you decide to travel in Crete.
Let me also state that Fortezza is 5-7 min. by car. Major super market, bakery and cafe are also less than 1 min away with the car.
Manolis is a great host. He waited for us patiently because we were a little late, he catered for everything we asked for and needed and everytime we contacted him he answered back almost immediately. Great property for a small family, great host, it gets my absolute recommendation.
