Wonderful peaceful villa in beautiful location - exactly as it looks in pictures, idyllic with lovely mountain views and wildlife. Staff are lovely, helpful, friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Immaculately clean and a very nice touch that our bed linen was changed and quick clean done of the villa every 3 days which we found fantastic. Very nice beaches and tavernas in local villages, food fantastic everywhere, even in tiny places. Beaches have crystal clear water for swimming, and warmest sea I have ever swum in - even in October when we visited (1st Oct to 15th Oct). Be aware that there is nowhere in walking distance, shop 10 min drive, beach 30 minutes, large town - the lovely Rethymno - 45 mins. Not a problem for us as we enjoyed driving the windy roads with lovely views. Also you do need to use bottled water, it's perfectly safe but doesn't taste great, again no issue as extremely cheap and a bottle waiting in villa, but if you drink a lot of water, pick some up en route from airport is my tip!
Overall fantastic stay, would highly recommend.
