We have had a great two weeks at this villa. the villa was clean with all you need here. The owners made us a lovely cake and was very helpful. The villa is quite far out and so a car is recommended. Thankfully we did have a supermarket next door. i would recommend this villa and would stay here again.

August stay
The Villa is very spacious and well decorated.The location is great and very close to the airport but you wouldn't knows as there is no noise. There is a great mini market practically next door which has everything you could possibly need. The host provided great recommendations of restaurants & beaches.
The only criticism was that the pool needed looking at as the filter needs replacing & there are some tiles missing. But overall it was beautiful

Dear Liz,
Thank you for the nice review and kind feedback. We are glad to know that you liked the villa, as well as you found the location and the recommendations convenient and useful for your vacation.
Regarding the pool mosaic’s missing pieces and the pool filter, we would like to inform you that maintenance is done every year on all areas of the house as well as the swimming pool. Your comments have already been forwarded to the villa’s manager and will be taken into consideration.
It was our pleasure to host you and you are welcome to come back at any time!
This property is wonderfully positioned and appointed with everything needed for relaxed stay. Four excellent bedrooms, ample kitchen, dining and relaxing space. A spectacular backdrop from the almost wrap around terrace at pool and first floor level with stunning views of Souda bay up to the White Mountains. Cafe MiiS next door provides a well stocked mini market, as well as barista coffee, pastries and treats. Must have been a regular visitor as as our order was ready on the counter. Car is a must as no eateries nearby but a short ride to Chania gives you endless choices. Download the Chania parking app speeds this up too. Even closer is Mitsos bbq which is well worth a visit. This is literally 10 mins from the airport and is great location to visit other areas around Crete. One request is a hairdryer. The host was wonderful!
