The villa is lovely and exactly as described! A beautiful spot in the hills with plenty of outdoor space and a pool suitable for a family of four. It's tranquil and very quiet, we hardly saw anyone, even though there are two other holiday properties here. You definitely need a car (we didn't have success getting a taxi during the evening) but it's only a 5 min easy drive down to the nearest mini market, then through the tunnel under the highway to beaches and local tavernas. We highly recommend Taverna Ilios for sunset dinner and Taverna Eleven for great food. We also visited Bali beach, a cute seaside village in the hillside (though a small beach!) and the Baja beach resort. There's also a beautiful long beach with a taverna enroute from Chania before Rethymo. A great find! Thank you.
