Overall the pool and the outside space is beautiful. The house itself was big and spacious but the layout was a little off for our family. It was in a railroad type of layout where you had to pass through the rooms to get to the kitchen which was a little difficult for those in the room right before the kitchen. There were a lot of single beds and not a lot of double beds . The kitchen is well equipped but the stove top took a long time to boil water (2 hours) . We typicallly like to cook because we are 13 and it’s difficult to go to restaurants and the house was a little difficult to accommodate multiple days of cooking.
The location of the house provides a beautiful view from the outside space but it is 45 minutes from Chania.
The power went out for us so that’s obviously not the owners fault because we had a big heat wave during our stay but according to the neighbor he says this happens quite frequently.
Note: the housekeeper will come in and out of the house and will text you if you are putting things in the wrong place or moving things around. I told the owner this as we like our privacy when renting.
Otherwise the house seems to have a lot of history and pretty antiques . We enjoyed our stay , Chania is beautiful.
