We stayed at Knossos Estate Villa in Rethymno for two weeks to celebrate my 30th birthday with the whole family, and we had a brilliant time!Communication from the villa host was excellent throughout, and everyone was really happy with the villa. It was very clean, with fresh towels changed on Wednesdays and a full clean after our first week, which was really appreciated.The pool area was a big highlight, plenty of space for everyone to relax, play and enjoy the sunshine. Having breakfast provided every morning was also an amazing perk and made the mornings so much easier with a big family!There’s a lovely little bakery just a short walk away, and Lidl is only around a 5-minute taxi ride. There isn’t a huge amount within comfortable walking distance, especially with children, so we generally took taxis into Rethymno Old Town and the beach areas, usually costing around 12–20 depending on where we were heading.There were just a couple of small maintenance tweaks that would improve things further, such as some of the shower heads needing to be fixed more securely to the walls, but these were minor compared with the overall experience.We had such a lovely two weeks, made some brilliant family memories and had a fantastic 30th birthday trip. We’d definitely visit Crete again after this experience!
