It was also great for our girl who is in a wheelchair. The hostess was helpfull and very kind. The villa really is far from everywhere and you need a car but we got to see authentic and beatiful greece. ##### Hanna V. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sophie G. 23 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Un bon séjour Location tout à fait conforme aux photos. Très jolie maison décorée avec goût. Très propre. Bien équipée pour deux personnes. En revanche, je pense que c’est un peu juste pour quatre en ce qui concerne la vaisselle et les équipements extérieurs (deux transats, un parasol). Les villas se situent dans les montagnes, c’est très calme. Idéal pour se reposer. Deux points faibles: . La très grande proximité avec les deux autres villas en location. La tranquillité du séjour dépend de vos voisins. Pour nous la première semaine à été idéal mais la deuxième semaine les locataires de la villa d’à côté ont été très bruyants (musique au bord de la piscine avec un fort volume, envoie du ballon pr dessus la clôture dans notre jardin plusieurs fois par jour, cris incessants etc.). . L’éloignement des villas. La tranquillité a une contrepartie, les villas sont éloignées de tout. Nous savions en louant que les villas se situaient dans la montagne mais attention aux kilomètres indiqués. Ce sont des routes de montagne et les temps de trajet s’en trouvent allongés. 50mn pour aller à Rethymnon, 1h15 pour Heraklion, plage la plus proche à 27mn (Panormo). Nous étions en quête de tranquillité donc ce fut une bonne expérience malgré le voisinage la deuxième semaine. Il faut néanmoins avoir en tête la situation de la villa et les risques liés aux voisins. À noter l’accueil très chaleureux et bienveillant d’Anastasia (Think Villa en charge de la location des biens). ##### Sophie G. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2021 ---
