Sep 20, 2018 #### Sehr schöne Lage sehr freundliche Gastgeberin und ruhig Gonia ist mit dem Auto von Rethimnon ca. 15 Minuten entfernt. Die Lage war sehr gut für Ausflüge. Es war auch sehr idyllisch und man war fern ab vom Tourismustrubel. In den umliegenden Dörfern gibt es kleinere Geschäfte, wo man einheimische Produkte kaufen kann. Das Haus hatte eine schöne Terrasse und genügend Schlafmöglichkeiten. Die Küche hatte alles was man zum Herstellen von Speisen benötigt. Sehr gut war der große Kühlschrank, die Klimaanlage und die Waschmaschine. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit bei Fragen. Wir bedanken uns für die schöne Zeit. ##### Alexandra M.
