Having just spent 2 weeks in the Farm Villa 1 we would definitely recommend it. The villa is in the hills with a beautiful sea view and stunning sunsets. The pool is a cool haven for relaxing wind downs and being surrounded by the animals of the farm and the countryside was wonderful.
Rethymno is beautiful and has all amenities, including the sandy beaches, museums and plenty of tavernas and bars to choose from. Trip on the red bus was great fun and we stopped for a walk along the Mili Gorge which was stunning. Also plenty of interesting villages and places nearby to visit.
Highlights included Cretan Safari by Land Rover to south coast and back with lunch in beautiful Spilli, Lake Kournas with its wild terrapins and water snakes swimming by, Mellodini Cave and village and the amazing springs and walks in Argroupolis. The Cretan welcome was warm wherever went - even a trip to the supermarket in Armenoi led to the owner offering us a free taste of Raki and olives!
Georgios and his team were also very helpful and supportive whenever needed.
Many thanks again for a wonderful holiday.
