We stayed at Villa Metochi for 2 weeks using both the main house and studio. Everything about the property was perfect. It’s located about 1.5 m from the centre of Rethymno and there’s a bit of a hill to get there. A car is recommended. But wow, it’s definitely worth the journey. The villa is a little paradise . Beautifully kept grounds, super pool, spotlessly clean villa (and studio) both of which are both appointed stylishly with all the facilities you might need. Marina, the host, is unbelievably helpful, always available for info and promptly dealing with queries. Marina sorted a meal home delivery for us when we arrived, provided invaluable info on supermarkets, great restaurants and even local butchers. The location is a drive from town but, not too far, and means it’s peaceful and quiet making a day by the pool a real treat. Couldn’t recommend the villa highly enough. If we return to Crete we’ll definitely look at Villa Metochi availabiiity first.
