The villa was quite nice, spacious, and clean, We appreciated the traditional design that blended seamlessly with the modern amenities, Being only 5 km from Rethymnon made it easy to explore the historic town, The air conditioning worked well, and the outdoor space was perfect for barbecuing in the evenings, Overall, a solid choice for a peaceful getaway, though some might find it a bit remote if you're looking for nightlife

Nasz pobyt w willi w Rethymnonie był po prostu niesamowity! Prywatny basen był atrakcją, a my spędziliśmy godziny na opalaniu się, Widoki na Białe Góry i Morze Kreteńskie z oranżerii były oszałamiające, Willa była dobrze wyposażona i miała wszystko, czego potrzebowaliśmy, w tym w pełni wyposażoną kuchnię, Skorzystaliśmy z pobliskich szlaków turystycznych i nawet cieszyliśmy się lokalnymi festiwalami w wiosce, Idealne połączenie relaksu i przygody! Gorąco polecam dla rodzin lub grup
