This villa was perfect. It is located about 10 minutes south of Rethymnon, close to both the north & south shores and less than an hour from the Amari Valley. We were able to see Rethymno, Chania, Plakias, the Amari Valley, Margarites and many beaches. The villa has a nice kitchen and a washing machine. It comfortably suits five guests. It is in a peaceful location which was restful after a day of sight seeing or swimming at one of the any beaches. Vasili is very quick with replies and Pagona made our visit personable, a very fine cultured lady. The neighbors were extra nice giving us fresh vegetables and eggs. We felt like we experienced true Greek culture rather than a commercialized tour. It was an authentic experience with warm and gracious people, a rare thing in this day and age.
