I travelled with my family and stayed for 12 nights in late May 2018. It was the perfect family holiday.
To start with, Maximos is a wonderful host. He is prompt, responsive, incredibly helpful and speaks superb English. (We actually had to change the dates of our stay and put it back by 6 months after we had initially booked and paid for it as one of our party was taken ill very near to the holiday, and Maximos was incredibly helpful and gracious in making all that work at no extra cost.) He also sent us through some incredibly useful notes on where to visit and local eateries (especially recommend Bikakis Bakery and Alekos Taverna).
The local cleaning team are incredibly lovely, thorough and discrete. The floors are all washed and all the bed linen changed at least twice a week.
There are three well appointed bedrooms, each with double beds and lots of storage space. The place can accommodate 6 very comfortably - more if some sleep in the living room. The master bedroom is en-suite and there is an additional full and half bathroom.
The outside pool and dining area is spectacular. The views are to die for and you are not overlooked from any point. The pool is unheated but a decent size and there is lots of room in which six adults could easily spend many a happy a day with plenty of room.
I'd highly recommend getting a car. There is no real other way to get there, as it is a good 3km from the nearest amentieis. But if you have one it is quite easy to get to a big Lidl nearby, the town of Rethymno which has beaches and nightlife and everything you could want in a nearby city, excursions and tour operators, etc., and the main east/west road across the north of the island is also easily accessible.
I don't normally write such long reviews, but I thought it was only fair this time as I was genuinely so impressed. It is a superb villa at a good price. It was a really big and important holiday for my family that we had been looking forward to for a long time and Maximos and all his team made sure it was just perfect.
You will not regret booking this place.
