Amazing villa for groups! 6 of us (3 couples) spent 7 nights here in September/October 2021, and would definitely return. We had tonnes of space inside and outside. We spent most of the time outside by the pool or in the outdoor dining area which now has a large pergola with electronically operated shades (great addition). The view from the pool area is amazing and it’s such a lovely place to relax. There are no other houses nearby so you aren’t overlooked at all, but it’s only a short walk (about 15 mins) to the local supermarkets in Atsipopoulo. There’s also a few bakeries, gyros shop, beautician, pharmacy etc and a lovely taverna where we had some delicious and amazing value food. A bit further afield, Rethymno old town is a 7-10 minute cab ride and the cabs were generally €10 each way. We walked down a few times but it’s not the safest walk, and takes around 45 mins to an hour to get to the old town. Manos and Eva were really communicative and helpful throughout. Everything was so simple and it felt like there was always someone available to answer any questions. They were also very accommodating with later checkout etc. We would definitely come back to this villa and would definitely stay other villas run by Manos’ and the team! Thank you for having us!
