It's a fantastic place to stay and it looks exactly as what the picture shows. To see the ocean as you wake up or hear the waves at night is the best part of this location. Its a fair 15-20 minute pleasurable walk to the old town. The host was wonderful and was helpful. She was accessible at all times and even went out of her way to book our reservations at a restaurant we wanted to visit. the only glitch was that the beds weren't hugely comfortable for us. Rethymno is such a pretty town and Meltemi's place just makes it even better. Thank you for the lovely wine and great hospitality Emmanouela.. we truly had a great time.
