Amazing accommodation! The house is perfectly situated for both a relaxing pool holiday and the more active exploration of everything Crete has on offer.
The closest supermarket is a relaxed 10-minute drive away, it's 25-minutes to the centre of Rethimno and there's a couple beautiful beaches (on the South coast of the island) reachable within about half an hour. Also, there's a truly fabulous taverna (Goules) just a couple minutes from the house — definitely make sure to not miss out on that one!
The house is fully furnished and offers everything you'd expect to need during your stay. There's a lot of thoughtful touches all around. You can clearly see Filippos really cares about the house and that it's not just some random holiday house.
We spend a couple days relaxing at the pool and used the well-equiped kitchen to prepare lunch and cocktails. In the evenings we made pizza's and barbecued in the outside kitchen. There's a variety of edible herbs around the garden and there's some fresh fruits and vegetables too.
Filippos is a great host. He gave us a warm welcome and dropped by a couple times during our stay to check in and see if we needed anything. He responded quickly to all our questions and provided great advise on possible activities and day-trips, which beaches to visit, and where to eat. His advise really enhanced our experience on Crete!
