We loved our stay at Mare Monte! The upper level family room is fantastic and we spent most of our time there. The villa is clean, wonderfully decorated and has plenty of comfortable seating to relax and spread out. All windows have electric blackout blinds which was great for our jet lag. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make meals. The Wifi is great and even works out by the pool. The entire home feels very high end, private and luxurious. Beautiful 180+ degree views of the city of Rethymno, the sea and snow capped mountain ranges. Mare Monte is a gem! Marcos and his beautiful family are wonderful people and gracious hosts. I would recommend a stay at Mare Monte to everyone. Happy New Year!!
