Nikos and Ioanna are hands down the best host and hostess our family has every encountered. Communication from booking, arrival, and throughout our stay were absolutely amazing. Ioanna and Nikos were at their villa to greet us in person upon our arrival. Ioanna had prepared homemade greek desserts and the cupboards and refrigerator were stocked with yummy beverages and food to snack on. Ioanna and Nikos gave us a tour of their property and walked us to a nearby cave, which was a fun surprise for our adventurous family. Throughout our stay, Ioanna offered restaurant recommendations, places to visit, and checked on us regularly to ensure there was nothing we needed. Prior to our departure when asked how/where we could schedule the required COVID test to return home to the US, Ioanna arranged for a doctor to meet us at the villa and perform the tests there.
The villa is a quick drive into town and to some of the most amazing food we have tasted. Our family opted to drive to Elafonissi where the sand is pink and the water is breathtaking. We enjoyed the drive through the mountains and sweet villages along the way.
We are a family of six, with kiddos ages 10-14. The jacuzzi, pool table, picturesque views, hiking trails, and grassy area were perfect for keeping them entertained while the Mr. and I enjoyed the aerial views of Chania. Our family is looking forward to our next stay at Nikos and Ioanna's villa!
