My husband and I stayed in villa Anna located just outside of Pigi village in August 2018 for 2 weeks. It's a lovely villa and the pictures are very accurate. Very peaceful and relaxing. The pool is perfect for cooling off and relaxing in. It overlooks a small farm where the farmer grows vegetables such as aubergine and peppers.
We did hire a car and used it every other day. It's a 10 min easy drive to the big supermarket Lidl, where we purchased most everyday foods. My husband enjoyed cooking on the charcoal BBQ. We highly recommend the local butcher. Meat (lamb, pork and chicken) is sourced from his local Pigi farm. The local honey and olive oil are also delicious. The two tavernas in Pigi village are very good. We ate in both either lunches or dinner. Easy 10 min walk into the village, or drive in 2 mins. The wine they all serve is very nice, both house white and red is very palatable. The biggest nearby town, Rethymno is at most 20 minutes drive from the villa. We had lunch in a lovely seafood restaurant overlooking the old Venetian harbour. Lots to see and explore in the Old town. We also had a taxi one night to a restaurant in the hills called Magnifiko. (The housekeeper Robert recommended this) stunning views and great sunset.
Cannot recommend this villa enough for a relaxing holiday!
The eTouri management company were awesome and there is a direct landline to them in the villa. We used them to arrange airport transfers, restaurant bookings, taxis etc. We were also given a complimentary day pass for a great beach venue called Baja. Very good facilities and we had a complimentary gazebo use for the day.
All in all, the perfect getaway holiday, thank you.
