This was our first time in Crete. A group of 7 of us stayed in the Villa, which was a perfect size for us. This property is massive and gorgeous. If you are traveling with a family this is a perfect spot. It is high up on a mountain with breathtaking views. It is about a 12 minute drive to the town of Rethymno. The town is quaint with great shopping and restaurants. The Airbnb is located in the centre of Crete and is perfect if you are looking to explore the west and east side. You will need a car to get around the village, town and beaches.
A great personal touch from the host was providing us some basic groceries upon our arrival. That was very helpful. The space was very clean and great linens.
We were sad to leave Crete. The people, food, hospitality and weather made this a special place to visit. We highly recommend staying in this villa and part of the island.
