Great space inside , fully outfitted kitchen and we loved the beautiful outdoor pool , terrace and gardens including pear and lime trees . Walking distance to the charming traditional village of Gavalichori and excellent taverna . We rented a car and did activities in Chania , Rethymno areas . Lots of close beach choices but we chose to drive 90 minutes to beach on the far northwest , Falassarna (one of the top 10 beaches in Europe we’d read )... and we’re not disappointed , as well as a day trip to Loutro beach .Doukaris winery tour and tasting only a half hour away . The house was very clean when we arrived and Nikolaos responded quickly to our questions and request.
