We had a wonderful summer break staying in this grotto villa. VanGos is an excellent host - he provided detailed directions, an amazing array of essential items for when we arrived including home grown vegetables from the garden and offered fantastic recommendations for amazing places to eat or visit (Prima Plora in Rethymno was great!). Thoroughly enjoyed sunbathing by the herb garden and eating at the little taverna down the road - another amazing host and the food was exquisite. The villa location is brilliant and we travelled to beaches both north and south in less than 30 minutes. We had a glorious time. If you plan to stay in Crete, we would highly recommend you stay here!
