As two couples with babies (7 and 8 months), we couldn't have picked a nicer place to stay. We can't fault the villa, its grounds, or the village at all, and the town of Rethimno, with its harbour, shops, and old town, are just a short drive away.
The way the outside space is designed means that there always choices of shade, and all of them lovely spaces in different ways. The pool is a good size and the loungers all comfy and with the option of shade or sun. The olive trees, fruit trees, grape vines, and flowering plants all add to the aesthetic and the relaxing atmosphere. We also enjoyed the barbecue and hanging out with the friendly cat.
The villa itself looks stunning in its surroundings and is comfortable and clean inside. We were provided with two cots (thanks!) and all the towels, bedding, etc. were in really good condition.
We were well looked after by Despina and were made incredibly welcome by everyone in the village, from the excellent tavernas to the small shop. All in all, a fantastic holiday in a beautiful and tasteful villa in a great location.
