We stayed as 2 families with 2 infants under 12 months. The house worked really well for us and was very spacious. The pool was perfect for everyone and has a great view. A car is definitely required for access to supermarkets and to drive to Rethymno etc. A lovely traditional restaurant is just 100m from the house and access to essentials (incl a nice bakery) is about 5 minutes by car. The house is otherwise very functional and we'll equipped for families - provision of basics such as dishwasher tabs, dish cloths, paper towels and tea towels would be good.
