Iokasti Villa is located in Atsipopoulo, 7 km from Rethymno Town. It features barbecue facilities, a garden, sea views and free WiFi throughout the property.
“We (4 adults, 2 kids - 2 and 4 years old) loved our stay at Villa Iokasti. We have been the very first visitors of this location and can just say it is a stunning place for a perfect family vacation. It is fully equipped (washing machine, dish washer etc.) and our kids loved the play house and slide (put them to the pool :-) for even more fun). The owners are lovely and experienced hosts who will make sure you have a great stay. They live nearby and have a little garden next door (so if you are nice, you will be supplied with some vegetables :-) - thanks so much once again - best cucumbers we ever had).
Special Pros (In addition to what is already described):
* Local: You are renting from the owner directly, not from any foreign investor. Such you are helping the community and local people to create and sustain small businesses. As they live right in the same village, they are always around to help.
* Sportive: You get a nice roof top terrace featuring a very stable metal framing which you can use to mount your TRX equipment. The terrace is also great for Yoga (bring your mattress)
* Surroundings: Though this location is quiet and slightly set apart from the villages (Prines and Atsipopolou) which gives it a fantastic view, you have everything you need in walking/short drive distance:
+ 3 nice Tavernas in Prines (700m away) as well as a small shop next to them
+ Lidl Supermarket, an excellent small fish monger (also supplying taverns), bakeries, Gyros Take Away, supermarkets (also open on Sundays) in Atsipopolou - short drive or walk - 1-2km
* Delicious: Barbara planted lots of herbs around the house (Thyme, Sage, Mint, Rosemary and so on...) which we used for drinks, salads, BBQ - just fantastic for the foodies out there
Special Hints:
-> Try out the fish monger for fresh regional fish at very reasonable prices for your BBQ.”
