We had the pleasure of staying at Michael's "Stellar Villa". Since we had the chance to be Michael’s first guests, I will give a rather extended review.
Although we’ve been in Chania before it was the first time we decided to stay away from the city noise. That’s why we picked up Stellar Villa. Firstly, the house is exactly as shown in the pictures. It is spacious and comfortable, fully equipped with all stuff that we asked for. We liked the fact that the master bedroom was facing east, making easy and natural to wake up with the natural sunlight. We didn’t even need to close the blinds. We really liked that the house is surrounded by a natural garden. Worth having breakfast there. Moreover, having lunch in the patio or cooling off watching the sea was our favorite thing.
The sea is a few steps away from the house and the (really beautiful) promenade. The beach in that area is completely unspoiled, literally on our feet. We wish we had more time to enjoy the sun. The beach is a mixture of sand and pebbles, still comfortable for us when walking or lying on the beach towels and mats.
The area is very peaceful, the traffic is almost zero and there were only very few shops open in the promenade while we were staying in, although Michael told us that from June onwards most of the shops that are closed for the winter are opening up. Nevertheless, we tried vibrant Platanias, it took as about 40’ to walk although it isn’t more than 5 minutes by car. Furthermore, it was really bad luck that the garden with homegrown vegetables weren’t ready for harvest yet!
Michael proved to be a great host, the most friendly and helpful person we could wish for. Overall, the property is perfect for people who target mainly at enjoying the sea and occasionally visit the city or other crowded destinations nearby.
Thank you Michael for allowing us to charge up our batteries and we promise to visit you again.
