This is a great villa.
It is very modern, and clearly designed to make the most of the space. We were 2 families of 4, but did not feel crowded. There were great spaces around the villa to spend time apart or together. In addition to the lovely pool area (with both sun and shade), there was an outdoor dining area, private balconies, and a large communal balcony with a sofa, hot tub, and table tennis table .
There were lots of nice touches that you do not find at all villas: a large welcome basket; lots of tea, coffee, toilet roll, condiments etc; ice made for arrival; a blue tooth speaker; dishwasher/washing machine tablets; and even cake on departure. Your enjoyment of the villa did feel like the owner’s priority.
The villa was cleaned to a very high standard, including a thorough clean (including the pool) midweek (with fresh bath and beach towels).
The location is great - just a 2 minute stroll to the beach, and a 30 minute walk (or 10 Minute electric scooter ride (found throughout the area for public use)) to Rethymno. Supermarkets are just a 5 minute walk away. The better restaurants are found in Rethymno.
Arrival and departure were very smooth. Kostas could not have been more helpful or communicative before, or during, our stay. His whole team were very friendly and extremely helpful (even when we had to call for assistance when we locked ourselves out - twice!)
We highly recommend this villa.
