Peaceful location, great family getaway
Highly recommend! Traveled with two families. We loved the house with all its amenities and pool. High end, well cared for. Location is peaceful among the olive trees. It was a convenient ride to the closest town and supermarkets and we explored various beaches at the south of the island at around an hour drive away. Rethymno was a convenient and fun location for a cultural / evening outing. Hostess very generously offered a home cooked meal.
