We couldn’t fault the villa. We were 3 families and the villa was the perfect size to enable us to have some privacy. The pool was very nice and the proximity to the beach was perfect. The villa had everything that we needed and Roula was very helpful and attentive.
Locally there was a well stocked supermarket minutes away and a handful of tavernas. If you want to explore then a car would be recommended. We did take the bus into Rethymno but struggled to make our way back and taxis weren’t always readily available. The highlight was seeing the baby turtles make their way into the sea right by the bottom of the garden.
