Nasz pobyt w willi w Rethymnonie był po prostu niesamowity! Prywatny basen był atrakcją, a my spędziliśmy godziny na opalaniu się, Widoki na Białe Góry i Morze Kreteńskie z oranżerii były oszałamiające, Willa była dobrze wyposażona i miała wszystko, czego potrzebowaliśmy, w tym w pełni wyposażoną kuchnię, Skorzystaliśmy z pobliskich szlaków turystycznych i nawet cieszyliśmy się lokalnymi festiwalami w wiosce, Idealne połączenie relaksu i przygody! Gorąco polecam dla rodzin lub grup
