This is an exceptionally beautiful and peaceful villa. We thought it looks good from the pictures - but it really is something special when you are there - it felt a bit like we were living in a film set!
It is very spacious, with a private (large) courtyard, rooftop terrace and pool. The place has been very well restored - it has a real old world charm, but has modern touches too. And the villa itself has lots of room inside - a big lounge and kitchen, and three bedrooms (with v comfortable beds.) We were there at the end of July and there was lots of shade to sit in, and the rooms stayed cool during the day and night (good a/c too).
Georgia was a great host - very prompt at answering any queries and she gave us lots of recommendations of places to visit. There was also good spread of fresh fruit - plus juice and coca-cola in the fridge for when we arrived.
There were three tavernas in Prines - we ate at two and both were very good. There's a small supermarket and a bigger one in the next village (five min drive).
It's also a good place to be based, with lots to see nearby... we visted Rethymno, Palace of Knossos, and Lake Kournos. Quite a few beaches that are just a short drive away too.
We've stayed in quite a few Airbnb homes, but this was probably our favourite. We hope to be back!
