We stayed at the villa for a full week - and we had a wonderful time. Lina and her family are extremely gracious hosts, super nice and helpful, with prompt communication, checking in on us to make sure everything was ok, and even some gifts at departure! The village of Gerani is just 5 minutes by car and has a fantastic restaurant; Rethymno is also very close. Lina gave us a number of helpful suggestions and recommendations for the area.
We had everything we needed at the villa for a family of five. The location is in the hills, so you need a car for sure, but central on the island for exploring. The views are stunning and we enjoyed our goat and sheep neighbors. Definitely recommend!
