Relaxing stay at the Villa
My husband and I stayed for a few days in Crete at the Villa and we had a very relaxing time! Elena was very responsive and able to answer many of our questions! The driveway is a little bit hard to find, but using Google maps satellite helps. There was also a cat that stayed around the Villa that was very affectionate and friendly. We fed the cat since it seemed very hungry, and we left some cat food for the next people to stay at the Villa!

Lovely Villa , situated up the hill from Rethymno.
The villa is exactly as displayed in the pictures. The pool was lovely with clear clean water. Elena the Host, was amazing. She waited for our late arrival and had left many items and treats in the house , not only on arrival but throughout the week. If you chose to stay here, maybe she will make you homemade Pastitio, like she did for us and it was delicious. She responds so quickly to any questions or requests and made us feel very welcome. Its a great location especially if you want to try out beaches on both sides of the island. Definitely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this Villa.
