Just the perfect place
We had a wonderful time here. Everything was perfect. The house, the pool and the whole interior design was just perfect. If we had any questions the whole team was always available. The cleaning service was much better than in a hotel. Thanks a lot for everything Lamprini!!

Magnifique Villa nichée à la campagne.
Nous avons passé 11 jours dans cette magnifique villa complétement équipée et fonctionnelle. Nos hôtes (Stella et Vassilli) ont été avenants envers nous et la communication était très facile en cas de besoin. La villa est propre, fraichement rénovée avec soin, bien équipée et climatisée et la piscine est d'une taille convenable pour 4 personnes. Une voiture est indispensable pour profiter de tous les superbes paysages et plages qu'offrent la Crète (Rethymnon est à 30-40mn de route). Un grand merci également à Valia qui nous a assisté dans la location de voiture (à un prix imbattable) et également à Lambrini pour sa gentillesse. Si l'occasion se représente, nous n'hésiterons pas à revenir dans cette villa tellement nous nous y sommes sentis bien. Merci pour tout et bonne continuation. Fouad et sa famille.
