This truly is a fabulous villa and we have no hesitation in recommending it. 5 star for all aspects.
We stayed as 3 families of 6 older adults and 7 younger adults. The pool area, BBQ/pizza area, hot tub, pool table, table tennis, gym, tennis court and extensive grounds suited all ages. The beds were super comfortable and we all slept well. We loved collecting eggs daily from the free range chicken coop, picking hanging grapes and huge tomatoes but most of all the owners, Petros and his wife Miss Effie popped by throughout the week with lots of goody baskets of pastries, pizzas and wine making us feel so very welcome and looked after.
The view is certainly breathtaking and whilst isolated enough to play music around the pool without disturbing anyone, not so isolated you couldn’t pop into the vibrant town with bustling shops and restaurants of Rethymno or central enough for many sightseeing trips over the island.
We went to the local village restaurant for a Cretan meal and the whole atmosphere, food and must do back area was wonderful with Pertos having bought a round of drinks for us.
The concierge service provided by Etouri who manage the property for the owners was truly outstanding; for their communication and responsiveness and what they provided. They arranged boat hire, booked restaurants and taxis often at late notice and much more. Having a direct phone in the villa to their office was amazing and enabled the older adults to go off in the cars for day trips leaving the youngsters in their capable hands to sort taxis etc for them.
The whole week was stress free and a memory to treasure.
