Un bel refuge loin de l'agitation, L'appartement était joliment décoré et avait une cuisine bien équipée, Nous avons adoré la taverne à proximité pour le dîner et les produits frais des magasins locaux,
L'appartement était conforme à la description. Il est bien situé à l'écart du tourisme de masse, tout proche de Rethymnon, petite ville bien sympa, facile d'accès et où l'on trouve tout. La grande route du Nord est toute proche ce qui permet de se déplacer facilement et on peut rejoindre facilement la côte Sud. De grandes plages sont situées à proximité. La voiture est indispensable. La propriété dispose d'un parking extérieur clos ce qui est bien pratique. Le jardin devant la maison plein de plantes exotiques est très agréable. Malgré les contraintes sanitaires liées au COVID, les propriétaires ont su bien nous accueillir et rester disponible.
