The villa is beautiful and exactly as it appears in the photos. Great sized place for four to six people. Stelios left us complimentary olive oil, wine and raki, which we duly used / drank with appreciation. The pool was cleaned a couple of times in our stay and the rooms and beds were done every day. A car is essential, so if you don't drive then this probably isn't the villa for you. But if you do drive then absolutely you should consider this villa as there are plenty of places to eat within 10 minutes drive (and one place within 10 minute walk, which is a good taverna). Rethymno is a 20 minute drive away and is an enjoyable trip out.
