Fantastic Vacation on a fantastic island
We loved our stay at Teo’s Villa. It was exactly what we were looking for: big,comfortable and beautiful house, with huge terrace and fantastic view away from touristic areas, but close enough to few beaches and many places to eat and shop, all within 10 min walk or if farther, 15 minutes drive. The villa is positioned very well - up on a hill, not far from the main Crete road which you can take to explore the island which is beautiful and very interesting. My advice is to rent a car - so much to see and to do -even one week will not be enough. Blue skies, crystal clear waters, beaches of different color, canyons, mountains, nice old towns - please explore. From villa itself, you can watch sunrise and a sunset -both beautiful.
Teo gave us a lot of good tips about the island and town of Rethimno. He made us feel welcome from the very first email. He helped with suggestions regarding renting a car, eating out, shopping, sightseeing. Communication was excellent before and during our stay.
Twice we ate at nearby Taverna Galera. Outstanding and very friendly service, good seafood, very reasonable prices. There are more than a couple supermarkets very close to the house, one of them very big Lidle. The old town is charming, with lots of good eating places, nice narrow streets, shops, and a beautiful harbor.
All in all, it was the most wonderful trip we all ever experienced thanks to Teo, his villa, and fantastic people of Crete. We will be back!
