Alles in allem eine top Unterkunft
Der Check In hat einwandfrei funktioniert. Wir hatten rund um die Uhr eine sehr nette Ansprechpartnerin, die uns in Empfang genommen hat und uns auch wieder verabschiedet hat. Was uns etwas gestört hat, war das Thema Sauberkeit dort. In der einen Woche sollte einmal jemand kommen zum sauber machen. Sie hatte jedoch nur Handtücher und Bettlaken eingesammelt und war wieder weg. Leider sind auch keine Utensilien zum selber sauber machen vor Ort gewesen, was aber nötig gewesen wäre mit sieben Frauen in einer Woche. Ansonsten hatten wir einen super Urlaub. Räumlichkeiten waren gut aufgeteilt, der Pool hatte eine gute Größe für uns und die Küche war auch super ausgestattet.

Très bon séjour
Nous avons séjourné au mois d'août 2020 en famille (10 personnes). Notre concierge personnelle Maria a été très appréciée. Elle est très serviable et toujours joignable. La maison correspondait tout à fait à nos attentes et est entièrement équipée. La piscine est top. Le petit village de Chromonastiri est très agréable et a seulement 10 minutes en voiture de Rethymnon. On mange une très bonne moussaka au restaurant du village Evia. Nous avons tous passé un excellent séjour.
