Gorgeous House
We stayed at Villa Sophia for six nights as a couple. The house is gorgeous and we found it an excellent place to spend time relaxing and seeing some lovely parts of Crete. The village of Prines is well situated, near the national road for exploring further afield and it's very quick and easy to get into Rethymnon by car or there is also a very good bus service. There is an excellent taverna, with an amazing waiter, and a couple of small local shops in the village with a supermarket about five minutes by car.
The villa is beautifully converted from an old stone house and is very comfortable. It exceeded our expectations based on the Homeaway website. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need to prepare meals. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the terraces. The small office with wi fi was lovely and the bathroom has probably the best shower we have ever had in Greece.
The owner,the architect of the house, was very helpful showing us how everything worked and it was interesting to talk to him about the restoration of the property. He can also arrange sailing. We really appreciated him letting us leave a little later on our last day. We would have no hesitation in recommending Villa Sophia to a friend, in fact we have already done so, and if we were to visit the area again would definitely return.
