Lovely place, a little hard to find with google maps on first try, very narrow lanes so it doesn’t look right at first, but when you realise that lol the roads in the village are quite narrow, it’s ok.
Pool a little too cold though, the sea was much warmer, we hardly used the pool.

We thank you kindly for your feedback! We would be glad to accommodate you again in the future!
This house is a great place to stay for a relaxing break, yet close enough to enjoy the nightlife. The property is well maintained inside and out. Poolside and rooftop lovely to sit in the sun. He owner was very helpful when called on and resolved the problem very swiftly. I would suggest a car is required if you want to visit Rethymnon - we did walk down and used a taxi back. Thank you for a most pleasant holiday.

The villa was very tranquil, plenty of space. Loved the chickens clucking around under the decking. The air con in all rooms, worked perfectly. The pool was lovely. It’s not big , but you can see that from the pictures, but perfect for playing games.
Great location, but you do need a car to go to the restaurants in the old town and to Lidl.
Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Relaxing stay
The villa is a good size and peacefully located. The roof top terrace provided lovely views, especially during sunset.
Pool is on the smaller side.
It was cleaned thoroughly every few days, and the cleaners were pleasant.
A car is required for this property as it is out of the way. Parking was sometimes difficult due to neighbour parking on the turn/bend into the property.

Wunderbares Haus
Ein sehr netter Empfang mit Kirschen und Wasser im Kühlschrank, Chips und Erdnüssen im Wohnzimmer. Das Haus ist großartig! Traumhafte, erfreulich luftige Dachterrasse mit Panoramablick bis zum Meer; netter Pool mit Luftmatratze und -reifen; insgesamt so durchdacht gebaut, dass wir innen kaum die Klimaanlage anschalten mussten (trotz August-Hitze). Küchenausstattung ordentlich. Alle 5 Tage neue Bettwäsche und Handtücher. Insgesamt sind wir begeistert.

We thank you for taking the time to review our property and for all your valued remarks, as we believe excellent accommodation comes from constant improvement. During the covid period, the owners are giving the opportunity of contactless check in/out. For this reason, the key is handed to the guest and the details for the property are referred in the villa booklet. The leaking issue was checked by the owner, and after visiting the villa, it was found that everything was ok. We would love to welcome you again to one of our properties and offer you another memorable stay! Vicky Stavropoulou - Reservations Department
Maison conforme aux photos, idéal pour un séjour en famille.
