We stayed at Villa Margaret in August 2022 and had an amazing stay. The villa is beautiful, pristine and well appointed. Margaret, the owner, is very kind. She always responded immediately to any questions and even brought by a delicious homemade moussaka and treats for our kids! The villa is well located: private but a short car ride to lots of cute villages and, of course, Retymno. We will certainly be back!
