What can we say about this stone house that isn't in the description already? The photos don't do it justice and it's so peaceful and quiet, it's perfect for relaxing in tranquility. It was definitely better than we expected.
Well, the location is just out of arm's reach of the gorgeous city of Rethymno in a quiet village called Pigi, just 4 doors away from a very convenient supermarket and a pharmacy. You could literally isolate yourself in the villa, but then you would miss out on everything that Crete has to offer. The location of this villa is perfect for almost every where you would want to go but you will need a car for access.
The villa itself is stunning. It's air conditioned, full of all the amenities you need, in its own private gardens and with a lovely swimming pool. The beach is a 10 minute drive as well as the nearest tavernas and shops. You cannot ask for more than what this house offers, and the owners Maria-Louiza and her husband are fantastic hosts. They've spent years making sure the house is perfect for guests and we had an amazing time here and will definitely come back.
This house isn't recommended for mobility impaired people as there are cobbled walkways and stairs into the house, but for a small family of up to 4 people is perfect. Any more than this and it may start to feel a little cramped although it can accommodate more than 4. The gardens are home to plenty of insects but with citronella candles and bug spray we didn't have any problems.
We cannot recommend this villa highly enough. Valia and the team at ThinkVilla were also outstanding, their service excellent and all the information was very reliable.
