An attractive stone villa (one of three in the overall premises) with its own self-cleaning pool and a very large garden. Lefteris was very friendly, suggesting restaurants and beaches to visit and generously offering complementary local produce such as olive oil and raki liqueur. The interior was handsomely furnished and clean – we had feared we’d be tormented by mosquitos at night but in fact encountered none at all (though the occasional small insect or spider would find its way indoors from the veritable forest outside).
The sea view from the upper floor was excellent. The location – about ten minutes by car from Rethymnon – is convenient, with quick access to both the east-west and north-south highways.
