The place earned its rating rightly! The house is small (perfect for 2) but lovely, check-in and check-out was easy and the owner pays attention to details: from a welcome package upon arrival till a present when we left and she is always helpful and contactable. We enjoyed breakfast with a view and gorgeous sunsets from the terrace.
The location is perfect: Rethymno is just 15 minutes by car away and so is the beach. Supermarkets, bakery and butcher are around corner (by car: 5') and you also can find tavernas nearby. We recommend Taverna Fantastiko with great food and a view.
To make it short: great place, great time, would love to visit again.
