We had a fantastic stay!
Immediately following booking we received information regarding car rentals, things to do in the area, tour company recommendations, etc. Very responsive to any emails leading up to the stay.
Check in was easy. We were greeted at the house with a snack and some raki. Nice touch. Throughly explained everything in the house and checked in throughout the week asking if there was anything we needed. They even had a cleaner come in part way through our visit which was nice.
We stayed for 5 nights at the start ofJune. There were 4 adults (one couple and 2 singles), and there was more than enough room. Everyone having their own room and having two bathrooms was a big bonus. Kitchen was equipped with everything you need.
Most importantly the outside space is very well done, private, and the view is incredible. Great spot to check out the sunset so as well. Having a private pool with that view is hard to beat.
The villa is up the hill a bit. Driving wasn’t a big issue. It was about a 20-25 minute walk to get into old town of Rethymno. We took a cab up a couple times and the max cost was 6 euros which we thought was quite cheap, especially to avoid the walk uphill!
Being by Rethymno was great. Nice little city, central on the island so we did a few day trips from there too.
Also, you will likely have some neighbourhood cat visitors during your visit. Super friendly, didn’t mind it at all!
Overall, it was a great stay and you won’t regret staying here. Only issue was that we couldn’t stay longer :)
