This is exactly what I was looking for - a nice, private place near a cute beach town. The house was spotlessly clean and Effi who greeted us at check-in was very hospitable. Michail left us a nice welcome basket with wine, fruit and some olive oil. Kitchen was equipped for doing easy meals. Nice set up for two couples since each gets their own bathroom, might feel a bit cramped with another couple on the sofa bed. A/C worked flawlessly and showers had plenty of hot water with good pressure. This unit is called Rosemary and is part of a duplex which shares walls with unit Lavender, but we never heard the other people. Each unit has it’s own pool, but Rosemary has the best views.
Easy walk to Stalos, but the hill is quite steep on the way back. Lots of restaurants to try, Friendly’s was our favorite. Very easy to get a cab to Chania. Car was not necessary, you do need an International Drivers License if you decide to rent a car. Would definitely recommend staying at any of the units in Koukas Villas
