Quiet and secluded villa

Lovely clean villa with nice pool and all day sun. Perfect for a relaxing quiet break. Most of the tavernas were some distance away in either Rethmymno or Panormo as we travelled during the covid restrictions. There is a visiting peacock to the villa who is partial to a cracker or two ! Would most definitely return again 😎
