The outside is very beautiful an large and is perfectly suited for big group (we were 13 people), with a large swimming pool, dining area, loungers/umbrellas. The large fridges, freezers and washing machines were also very convenient. The villa is located just outside Rethymno on a quiet street. A perfect location to explore Crete by car. The host was very friendly and easy to communicate with and the house was cleaned once during our stay (1 week). Some things could be improved: The bedrooms and bathrooms need some fixes and refurbishments and some were not really clean. The bathroom in the basement was dirty and badly maintained. Also, some doors could not properly close and the kitchen could use some extra bowls and knives. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Villa Sfedami and would definitely recommended it to large group of friends or families.
