This villa is amazing. The owners have thought about every detail.
Upon arrival it was a public holiday and so they had organised the essentials (bread, cheese, fruit, cake and wine) for us so we had something to eat.
A car is needed here as the villa is a good 15 mins walk into the local small village which has supermarket, chemist and restaurant. Downhill on the way there and a steep uphill on the way back. There is also a large Lidl supermarket about 15 mins drive towards Rethymno.
The outside of the villa is the real strong point which is where we spent most of our time. The pool is cleaned daily and was perfect for ours kids (10 & 8 yrs). Sun loungers in both shaded and sunny areas and you get the sun all day. From the sun loungers you have fabulous views - you can see both the sea and the mountains!
Villa inside very stylish and equipped with everything you could need. Kids happy that they could watch YouTube through the TV! As a family who are prone to mosquito bites we were delighted that all the doors and windows had fly screens.
Both bedrooms have air conditioning and black out shutters so we slept really well. There are chickens and goats in the field behind the villa so be prepared for a few animal noises - did not bother us at all.
We had a couple of questions over the first few days and the owners got back to us really quickly.
I would highly recommend this villa if you are after a quiet and relaxing holiday!
