Really lovely luxury villa up in the hills, but only 5mins drive up from the main road so easy access to a nice sandy beach (15mins away) and to Chania / Rethymno and all the surrounding areas.
Sofia was a great host - we arrived very late but she met us at the house and had provided food and drink for dinner and breakfast which was an amazing service.
Property is in the hills, so can be a little cooler / cloudier than down on the coast, but you get truly amazing views as compensation!
