The villa was perfect for our needs, spacious and functional, with very high quality bathroom and shower facilities. The kitchen was well equipped for the everyday cooking needs of a six-person household, and our holiday clothes fitted nicely in the clean and roomy closets. The beautiful view to the village and the sea beyond from both upstairs and downstairs patios made a lovely backdrop for relaxing and dining outside. The cooling devices in all bedrooms guaranteed an easy night's sleep, and in the morning, upon opening the patio doors, the village roosters could be heard (but in no way noisy enough to be of disturbance). The neighborhood was peaceful, with the friendly landlord just next door ready to help with any problems (though none did arise). The village mini market is a short walk away, and we took to the habit of going there each morning for fresh bread (which arrived at 8 o'clock). There were almost no mosquitoes (in July) and surprisingly few other insects either. Small ants were curious about the bread crumbs left on the floor, but were easily dealt with by using ant spray and cleaning - we had no problems keeping our food on the tabletops (even fruit and bread), they did not get eaten by ants. We made several day trips to Rethymnon and beyond, the villa being a perfect base from which to explore Crete, a good combination of quiet authentic village life and easy access to cities, tourist attractions and beaches. Five stars well deserved!
