I really can't say enough good things about this villa. So much care and attention to detail went into renovating this old Venetian mill; the perfect mix of old and new. We loved staying here and discovering new aspects of the architecture each time we looked around. To begin with VanGos was an excellent host, inquiring about any needs before we had even arrived. Upon arrival, he sat us down to a glass of raki, some sweet tomatoes and sea salt, and went over the area with us and gave us many suggestions on what to see and do. There was a basket of fresh vegetables picked from the garden, a fully stocked kitchen, and a fridge full of fruit, yoghurt, juice, and milk. When the weather was nice, we sat outside by the garden and ate some lovely meals cooked with the things in the garden as well as some we bought from the farmer's market in Rethymno which was only a 25 mins drive away. The location was ideal as we enjoyed being far from city, listening to the goats and the chickens, but still have easy access if we wanted to. There was an amazing tavern nearby with an utterly charming owner who wowed us with a delicious meal and then took us on a tour of his raki distillery of which he later treated us with a bottle to take home. When the weather took a bad turn, we still loved being in the house, reading books in the bright sunroom, making hot tea, and feeling very cozy within the solid walls of the house. Everything we needed was provided and we felt very well taken care of. VanGos was patient and informative as he continued to communicate with me throughout our entire stay, answering all my questions. I hope to return again one day and would recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat.
