We arrived in Rethymno having picked up a hire car which Teo had helped arrange. He met us at the bus station and we ascended the hill to the villa, which affords a beautiful panoramic view of the bay, the Old Town and the magnificent Fortezza.
Teo's villa is large, bright and very cool - both in style and temperature (AC everywhere). We were shown around and then sat with Teo who spent time and care advising and recommending places to visit, based on our particular Crete wish list. As a diverse group this was no mean feat!
Teo was responsive throughout our stay and even helped us organise our car situation when we had a flat tyre.
From the villa we had access to the main highways across the island. Our habit became to visit the Southern beaches (45 -60mins by car) for the beauty and drama of the scenery. Within 5 mins (car) or 15mins (walking), from the villa, we could be sitting in one of Rethymno's Old Town squares enjoying either an atmosphere of activity and bustle or quiet peaceful contemplation. Rethymno is a city of contrast.
We had a wonderful time which was enhanced by the knowledge that Teo was on hand to give discreet support when necessary.
Would love to return.
