"Pros: everything was GREAT." ~Ulrika

"Pros: We had the best time in this gorgeous villa and particularly enjoyed the lovely pool and outdoor areas. It was very well equipped, especially the kitchen area. It was very spacious, clean and modern. We would definitely recommend this villa to stay in, we were a group of 4 and everything was perfect for us. One thing i’d recommend is to rent a car, although we did not and still managed to get around using bus and taxi’s but if we were to come back we would rent a car for convenience as it gives you more freedom to explore further. Rethymno old town is amazing and we went there for dinner most nights, but there is a few restaurants in pigi, the local town, which is only 5 min walk away. I recommend the Leaky Caldron in Pigi also. In rethymno there is a beach club called Baja beach where we spent a full day and it was definitely worth the money we had a lovely time and it split the holiday up a bit for us. We also spent a day at Lake Kournas which is one thing I recommend the MOST out of everything we did. We spent the whole day there, it was €80 for a return taxi which we booked with ‘All around crete transfers’ on their website. We rented a pedalo boat with a slide for €20 for an hour, then paid an extra €15 for another hour on the lake as we enjoyed it so much. We saw turtles and lots of fish and swam in the lake, then had some lunch in a taverna overlooking the beautiful lake. After lunch we went and looked in all the little shops which had lots of souvenirs. All in all it was the best holiday in crete and the location of the villa was perfect, but we would rent a car if we were to come back! Thank you to Ismini for having us in your beautiful villa🤍 Cons: Nothing, everything was perfect." ~Lois
