We stayed here for a week 10/06/22.
I’ll write an honest review as although we really enjoyed our stay, there are a few things to mention.
Firstly, why there are no signs posted for the villa i do not know as it’s in the middle of nowhere and you have no chance of finding this place in the dark. There are many signs on lamposts etc for the other villas and even the tavernas. Even a couple of days later it was tricky to find in the property.
To be honest, i resented paying €15 for a 5 minute guided taxi to show us where the villa was, €3 a minute!
Please put a couple of signs up, it doesn't need anything fancy, some villas had cardboard signs up.
The second thing which surprised me is the cctv. A camera covering the pool was bad enough, but one in the villa itself covering the living room and kitchen area, really? Hardly private!
Although the location is rural, you need to be aware that there are several villas being built and there was the constant thumping and drilling by jcb diggers. Its also infront of the Chania airport landing flight path so sometimes the planes were noisy.
The roads to the villa are ROUGH, so be careful with your hire car.
The property gate was broken, so was one of the 2 poolside umbrellas giving a lack of shade and the sunroof remote was nowhere to be seen (later found in a draw) although we couldn’t use it due to the wind.
Now for the good things:
It’s a large villa in a fantastic cliff top location. Its well equipped with everything you need and lots of space. The pool is large and the view is amazing. There is plenty of space here.
There are plenty of air conditioned bedrooms, toilets and showers.
It’s a 5 minute drive into plaka village and not more than 15 minutes to other places such as Kalyves where the best local beach is.
I wouldnt walk into plaka as you will be a sweaty dusty mess lol.
I highly recommend Taki’s for food.
We loved staying here and would return. However i think the cctv needs to be taken out of the property.
