Where to start....
First of all I am a traveler by profession and it is also a passion of mine. Thusly I have stayed in many hotels/homes/Air BnB's over the years, and this was the best one without a doubt.
Anastasia and Malin met us on our arrival (about 930pm) and greeted us with hugs and smiles. They gave a comprehensive run down of the villa and then gave us a "welcome package" of items that almost left my travel partners in tears. We had wine, olives, yogurt, fruit vegetables, cheese, salads, cookies, cake and a baked dish of Greek pastitsio (casserole). It fed us literally for a few days!
Throughout our stay they always made sure we had everything we needed. Mrs Julie cleans the villa daily which was very nice with 5 people staying for 8 days. They brought over cakes and Easter breads and even dishwasher tabs as we ran out on our first day. We were even invited to joining their family for Greek Orthodox Easter Sunday at the family restaurant close by. This was a memory we will cherish forever. We were very honored and humbled by their generosity.
Oh yes...the villa. The villa is fantastic. The views from the patio are divine and we ate almost every meal on it during our stay. Every room has its own full bathroom, 2 of the rooms have direct access to the pool. There is a separate level with the laundry room and drying racks, again which was essential during our stay. It is clean, bright and airy well decorated with local pictures. There is Air con in each room if needed. Wifi was great too.
Anastasia and Malin even hooked us up with a local car rental contact (friend). This friend picked us up at the airport and drove us to the villa and did the same for our 6am departure when we left on our final day. If you need a car, please use their contact, they were very honest and very well priced.
I can't say enough about our stay, the hosts are the best I have met and all my travel partners really now call them part of our extended family. Do yourself a favor and stay at this villa if you are in the Chania area for any length of time.
Thank you again Anastasia and Malin for your generosity and love. It made our stay one of the best ones yet.
