The host Mihalis is very welcoming and the property is not your average rent a house type as it is equipped in such a way as your house would be. Especially the kitchen has all the cutlery/equipment you might need to explore your cooking skills and you even have a washing machine if the need arises. Mihalis upon arrival has nice offerings for you with a bottle of wine, raki and olive oil all from his own production. The decoration is very traditional with a hint of modern and you get free fast wifi, satellite television, a huge fireplace with enough logs for 3-4 days and a nice warm atmosphere. The property is 15 min away from Rethymno center, however the village "Armenoi" has a large supermarket, a pharmacy and a couple of nice tavernas with traditional food. There is limited public transportation so renting a car is obligatory. In the summer time the surrounding area is perfect for hiking and the property has a large first floor open terrace to spend nice evening relaxing times. Because of the thick walls there is good difference from the outside temperature, nevertheless, there are new air conditioning units inside the bedrooms to meet everybody's needs.

Set in a quiet backwater but within a easy walk to the village center we had pleasant evening strolls out along the lanes away from the village. We only visited one tavern in the village, Taverna Atsidaftis, where the authentic Cretan food and service were great on both occasions. The bakery near the Taverna was also good. The Villa is clean, comfortable and well equipped and in a great location to travel east, west and the north / south road Armeni is on is excellent. We walked and drove down several gorges and visited many interesting archaeological sites and villages and towns. The countryside was great for birds, bees and butterflies. Mixalis was the most friendly, generous and welcoming host we have come across and very good company.
