Beautiful villa which had everything to ensure a relaxing holiday. Host met us at the villa and explained everything to us. Property was immaculately clean, tidy and spacious with a further clean half way through our 10 day stay. Rooms were bright and airy all with air con. Shaded car port was a bonus. Well equipped kitchen with all the appliances you could need. Pool maintained by the host daily along with fresh bread and home grown produce from the garden each morning. Hosts were very welcoming and attentive and provided lots of information and recommendations of places to visit. Very responsive to messages when seeking advice for places etc. Highly recommend this property for a fabulous holiday base.

Great Experience near Rethymnon

Eleni and Ioannis were excellent hosts. There was plenty of room for our family of 8. The house was clean and we had everything we needed. We were treated to fresh bread everyday as well as access to the fruits and vegetables in the yard. We particularly enjoyed the proximity of the beach (5 mins away). The city of Rethymnon is about 12 mins away, which made it easy to visit many times. Having a pool was great, if some of us wanted to rest after the beach, we had the option to cool off with the pool. We had some really hot days, so this was a huge bonus. The pool was cleaned daily and our hosts were readily available to answer any questions we had. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Eleni and Ioannis.
