We had a wonderful fortnight's stay at Aloni Villa. It was a family holiday for four adults. It was spotless with weekly changes of linen and a full clean. The communication with the host was excellent, although we had no significant problems.The villa was comfortable and had everything we needed in the kitchen, the villa itself and in and around the pool. The pool was a delight with wonderful views and 6 wooden sun loungers. We even enjoyed a game of ping pong. There was plenty of hooks, and clothes and storage space. Beach/pool towels were provided and a selection of toiletries. The showers were the best we have had.We had wonderful weather in our first week, but it rained heavily every day during our second week. We were glad that it was a large villa, with the rain, as we had plenty of space to enjoy. A large television with Netflix and Amazon helped.We enjoyed trips to Chania (40 mins), Aptera (30mins), Rethymnon (45 mins) and Lake Kournas (45 mins) and would have done more if the weather had been kinder. There is a local, small supermarket, useful for essentials, with large supermarkets in Chania. The store Jumbo, also in Chania, is cheap and useful for holiday gear, like lilos.At least a mid-range car is advised, with enough power to get up the steep hill to the villa, especially when the car if full of people and luggage..I would thoroughly recommend this villa as an excellent base to enjoy and from which to explore Western Crete.
