Our time at Grotto Homes was the highlight of two weeks in Greece. It is a perfect blend of modern luxury and ancient tradition. The large, well appointed rooms and terraces were the perfect oasis for slow relaxed hours between sightseeing expeditions. It is perfectly situated in a gorgeous mountain village just minutes away from cosmopolitan Rethymno and centrally located for excursions to either the east or west side of the island. VanGos is a fantastic host, warm, welcoming, and he offered us a wealth of excellent recommendations for places to see and restaurants to try. He visited the house a few times during our stay to monitor the pools and the gardens and it was always a pleasure to chat with him about any number of things. We were left feeling that he truly takes interest in and cares about his guests' experience. We plan to stay in touch and are already dreaming of a return to Grotto Homes.
