This place is fantastic, brilliant villa amazing location, clean well kept and friendly staff.
I stayed at villa 3 with my wife and children and had an amazing time., The villas are modern clean and absolutely fantastic. The road to the villa is slightly tight however once you get to the gated area it opens into a a spacious driveway (keys were in the key safe as per the instructions). Every villa has covered parking and it’s very private and secure.. Nikos George and Katerina looked after us superbly catering for our every need they were all so friendly and accommodating. The pools is cleaned daily, the apartment looked immaculate every day when we returned. (It’s cleaned daily even though it ate every other day and our beds were made) you don’t need a car you can walk up the road to a variety of restaurants and shops ( it isn’t at all rowdy) your 10 minutes from Rethymno, and an hour by car to Heraklion and Chania. The beach is shingle and there are beds and umbrella's and a Taverna. The Villa is very private, the pool area is fantastic with beds umbrellas, table and chairs and a lounge set. The hotel next door didn’t interfere with us in the slightest noise wise. A fantastic oasis on the beach a truly enjoyable and fantastic place to stay we will be returning we loved it.
