We stayed for 2 weeks with our almost 2 year old and had the most fantastic time. The villa is as good as it looks in the pictures, cleaned thoroughly regularly by a lovely team who would leave treats (nice added touch!). Every part of the design of the villa was carefully thought out, you aren’t over looked, the pool and seating areas are lovely and the sauna is an added bonus. The villa really is 100m walk to the quiet end of the main long sandy beach of Rethymnon. You can walk to restaurants, beach bars, and shops along the front promenade within a 5 min stroll from the villa. We ran along the front most mornings which was beautiful.
The old town is a 40min walk along the promenade, nice walk and easy but with a little one it was easier to drive for less than 5 mins and park (easily every time) in the very cheap car park by the main town. Everything is accessible.
We had some fantastic meals recommended by the villas concierge service and did some day trips to other beaches on the island. We would thoroughly recommend this villa for groups, couples or families as it really does cater for all. Sophia and Robert looked after us from start to finish and we couldn’t recommend them enough.
