This villa is beautiful and accommodated our large group perfectly. The GPS directions were a little unclear at first but we kept driving down the road and saw the sign for the villa which made it easy to find. The host communicated very well anytime I had a question. The pool was drained for the winter so keep that in mind if you are booking between November and April. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals. There was plenty of space for our group of 7 adults to hang out and spread out. The location was only 20 minutes from Rethymno city center and 1 hour from the trail head for Mt. Ida. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would come back again.
