I had a really great time at my stay at this villa for 11 days in August. The mountainous location can be challenging to get to (make sure you prepare your route in advance), but it's a suitable price to pay for some brilliant rural scenery with olive trees, rolling hills, and the sea. The nearby town of Rethymno is perfectly placed for day trips to tourist attractions in both North Western and North Eastern parts of Crete. The apartment in the villa is well styled, very clean, and brightly lit. Cleaning lady came around to service our apartment twice during our 11 day stay, and all cleaning equipment was also provided for self service in between. Facilities at the apartment were well modern and well maintained, incuding free fast WiFI, satellite TV, coffee maker, etc. The iron was missing initially, but provided very promptly on request. An internet outage overnight was quickly resolved early in the next day. Although the pillows were very soft and good, two of the three matresses had noticeable springs and felt uncomfortable - I'd recommend that these are replaced with firmer mattresses. Patio area has a seating table, barbeque grill provided, and a swimming pool right outside. The pool seemed a bit on the small side, but it was clean and regularly serviced. There's no shallow end, so make sure you bring your armbands for younger children.
