I have admittedly had an excellent stay at villa Nefeli. I rented the villa for my wife and two children who went there a week before I did. The funny story is that since it was our first time in Crete, I thought that by the time I would go to rethymnon, my wife and children (aged 12 and 15) would have explored the island a bit and some sort of a schedule would be expecting me. False. As I was told the car we had rented was not used for four days. All three of them spent their days at the villa which has a very comfy swimming pool and in the evening they got to know the locals or play piano at the living room. I had some really and emotional good time with my family while playing piano and singing. I barbecued at the roof terrace where I enjoyed brilliant sunsets and views of the Aegean sea with my wife with some wine. The local raki was too strong for me but they have some pretty good vineyards in crete and the wine is not that bad. The villa is at the entrance of a secluded village called Loutra. my family had attended a couple of the small events organised by the villa and by the time I arrived they felt very close with the locals. As I found out the Kallergis family which owns the villa I rented, date back to the Byzantium era and they are very well respected by the locals in Loutra, as are their guests at the villa which at the time was my family. I liked that. The inside of the villa had some excellent features in some parts, was very spacious and well maintained. The end result of which was to return from my holiday with my wife giving me a lengthy and costly!- list of things she wanted to change in the house. Both ours and our childrens bedrooms were enormous, with their own bathrooms each and well lighted. I must indeed congratulate publicly the Kallergis family for the excellent work they have done with the house and for offering to us a home away from home.
