Stelios (Tassos’ son in law) was a fantastic host - very communicative and so, so welcoming and attentive to our well-being during our stay. He and his wife even escorted us all the way from Chania airport to the vila and brought us local pastries and cold beverages upon arrival.
We stayed at the Lake House for two full weeks and we found everything we needed at the house. We did however have a rental car which is highly recommended, to get around comfortably in the area. The house was exactly as described and shown in the pictures and it was extremely clean and spotless every where (this cleaning person deserves an award!). Not even a single spiderweb to be found anywhere on the patio furniture or the 4 outside balconies, which is more than one could expect.
The pool was delightful and is approx 3,5x 6m and has a saltwater filtering system which is much more comfortable to bathe in than regular pools. Our two kids loved the pool and basically spend most of their time in there. The pool is 1 m deep at the low end and 1,4 m at the deep end with a small underwater shelf to stand on all around the inside of the pool, which makes it more safe for kids. At the pool area there was plenty of deck chairs and parasols to enjoy among the orange, lemon and olive trees. There is always a possibility to seek shade or full sun no matter the time of day, as the pool area is facing North towards the Mediterranean Sea.
There are beautiful mountain, ocean and lake views from the different balconies on the 2 top stories of the house (which make out the Lake House rental).
The neighborhood is also very quiet and don’t have barking dogs or racing cars right outside the window at night.
We were very satisfied and had a really wonderful two weeks at the Lake house and would not hesitate to come back.
