This is an exceptionel house, very posh and extravagant but still with a perfect homely feel. This villa is very private with a great view of the mountains and the ocean. We enjoyed it so much there. We recommend to try the pizza oven which we had no experience with but it was easy and the result was the best pizza we had ever had. We had the pool heated which we thought was worth it eventhough it was a little pricy. Manos and Anna were the perfect hosts giving us lots of good advice and bringing us little local specialities and home made oil, raki and jam. Rethymnon town and beach were also better than expected with great restaurants (Manos and Anna can give you tips) and really perfect sand (ps lots of places of free sunbeds across the road if you eat in their restaurant for lunch). Perfect place for two families to share. We were a family of four and my parents. There could have been two more people there no problem (for people with walking difficulties it should be said that there is no shower on the ground level, but there is three in the rest of the house plus and outdoor pool shower so not missing any in general) for families with smaller kids there is also a fantastic playground. All in all book if you can we would love to go again.
