All communication prior to our stay was quick and clear. When we arrived in Chania, Manolis met us and took us to the house. He showed us everything we needed to know and was at our disposal at all times during our stay to help us when needed. He and his family are the best hosts. They really take care of you and take pride in their house. They are so kind and helpful and generous. They also shared many family made treats with us. The house is even more beautiful than the pictures. It is very clean and new and situated perfectly to always have a little shade from the hot sun and a perfect view to the sea. The kitchen has all the things you need to prepare meals. The pool was fabulous and a real treat to have on the hot days. It so nice that its a saltwater pool. The outdoor grill was nice to cook on and the covered seating area was a favorite place for our family to eat. The yard is full of different plants and trees with produce that you can use in your cooking, so neat! The location is quiet and peaceful, yet so close to town and shops as well as Chania and the main highway to explore further. We explored Crete quite a bit, but really just loved our relaxing family time at the house more than anything. If you are looking for a perfect place to stay and relax, we highly recommend Katakis Villas! We can not wait to return!
