It was a delight to stay here. Vangos could not be a better host. Beforehand, he was clear and helpful in making arrangements. When checking in, he provided us with a generous, and delicious, selection of food and drink. Throughout our stay he was available instantly to answer questions and make excellent suggestions for places we might visit. And he’s fun!
The apartment is well placed for Rethymno. It’s set back from the beach a few hundred yards, which makes it quieter than places nearer the coast. Parking was easy to find nearby during our trip. It’s a 25 minute walk into the old town, a nice walk, but there is a supermarket and other facilities close to hand, around the corner. There’s no aircon, but the good ceiling fans – and careful use of screens during the heat of the day – make it bearable for sleeping on hot nights. Set higher than many apartments in town, it has lovely views from the terrace. There’s only one double bed, which wasn’t a problem for us.
The flat is beautifully designed and well appointed. It’s a very comfortable space in which to spend time.
