The property was extremely well presented and comprehensively equipped and the layout is ideal for a family or families with teenage children. The location is excellent, quiet enough and slighly off the beaten track although within a short walk of the beach, restauarants, local shops and supermarket. The owner Stella is extremely kind and left lovely gifts of local produce periodically throughout our stay, which was very much appreciated. The house is very well designed for relaxing by the pool with plenty of shade available in a number of areas around the property and the pool was great, as was the quality of the sunloungers and the fact that the towels and bedding were replaced regularly every few days by the maid were additional nice touches. The property is well located for Crete's Western beaches and is within easy reach of Chania and Rethmynon as well as Heraklion and Knossos, which are about 1.5hrs drive. For those who prefer more activity or night life the resort of Platanos is only a short 15min drive or bus ride away, where their are numerous shops and bars. This is our second visit to the island and the Chania area and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the property...it just wasn't long enough!!!
