We stayed 4 weeks in August/September, with our kids 4 and 6 years old.
It is such a lovely family who really cares about their guests. They gave us fresh tomatoes and fruits from the garden and helped with our questions. Perfectly clean place, new linen every week. New bathroom.
We rented car some days to explore the island. Other days we walked to the beach, about 10 minutes walk.
The beach is nice. It can be windy (red flag) then use the places with sun beds that also gives you the right to also use the pool (5€/day). Bus to Rethymno center is 10€.
The house is good located for exploring.
Thank you for a great stay!
