An amazing place - we stayed for a fortnight in July 2022. Mixalis and his family provided us with a fridge full of food, including breads, milk, fruit & vegetables, wine and raki (made by Mixalis) and two delicious cakes, made by his wife.
Villa Fabrica is tucked in a quiet little valley - it was renovated by Mixalis himself from an old olive factory to a really high standard. The villa is spotless, with good wifi connection, aircon throughout, a great pool and fantastic views. The outside space has been really well thought out with plenty of shade and inside the house is beautifully cool, even in the hottest temperatures.
There is a profusion of wildlife around the villa - sparrows were nesting in the eaves and there were swifts and buzzards all day and the hoots of owls at night.
There are a couple of great tavernas in nearby villages, about 10 minutes drive away. These villages are away from the tourist trail and all the better for it, the food is great but really cheap and your hosts treat you more like extended family members than customers.
The journey to Mournies and Chania (with its supermarkets and beaches) is about 30 - 40 minutes by car - as the listing states a car is a must - but great to explore the White Mountains and villages further afield.
The beauty of the villa and its location is only matched by the kindness and generosity of the Ampadiotaki family - we've only been back a week and are missing it already.
