Fantastic holiday, beautiful villa in a lovely area of Crete.
The whole experience was fantastic. The villa was absolutely perfect with a great pool. Fully equipped and spotless. Peaceful yet close to beaches, shops and restaurants. We love Rethymno and discovered we could catch the bus right into the centre.
Valia is always so helpful as was our lovely host. Everyone is so welcoming.
Would highly recommend. Thank you.

Sehr gut eingerichtet und ausgestattet auch wenn nicht alle im Inserat aufgeführten Dinge zu finden waren. Netter Empfang und es waren sogar Lebensmittel für das 1. Frühstück vorhanden. Spannend war die Zufahrt bzw Einfahrt auf das Grundstück doch man kann auch in der Seitenstraße parken. Sehr gerne empfehlen wir das Haus weiter.
