From the moment the gates open you will be transported to your very own private luxurious villa with panoramic views scaling from the mountains behind to the full unobstructed ocean view below! Absolutely fully loaded stunning villa with anything you could ask for and more. Nikos and his mother took me and my children under their wings when another host on AirBnB was awful and left me feeling like I had family here in Crete for sure. This place is a mesmerizing gem and you would be a fool to not book it! I leave full of love and fond memories and will be back in the near future for sure. These are very special hosts indeed! This is what AirBnB is all about. Astipopolou is also a fantastic village located close to Rethymno.
