Where do I begin to explain the magic of this home! Aptly named “Golden Hill”, my family of 7 adults and 3 kids (ages 4, 8 & 11) spent 8 surreal nights nights in this spectacular mountain top home. The owner and the managing company were all available and responsive for any questions we had, from before booking to check out. We arrived around 10pm and were met by the owner who gave us a tour - I couldn’t wait for daylight to see the house and property and wowee, the next few days my face just ached from smiling so much! The home is literally on top of a mountain- you can hear and see goats and sheep, see sprawling Chania and Souda Bay below you, watch swallows swoop down to take sips from the natural salt water pool. We were all blown away by how beautiful the location AND the home are. It was extremely well suited for a large group, we were able to have semi separate living quarters and also cook as many meals as we wanted. Very handy for kids who are constantly eating! The sunsets made me want to cry, each one looked like a painting. The house is high up so there was often a nice breeze coming through. I got to kick everyone’s butt on the ping pong table. The home owners also provide home made olive oil, wine and raki along with fruits and vegetables from their trees- of which 250 grace the property!!! You do need a car for this home, unless you plan to just stay at the property, which I would do in a heartbeat. Everything was so clean and they even procured groceries from a list a sent before we arrived. I honestly could go on and on about the wonders and comforts of this home, but I’ll stop here. Thank you to Kostadinos and his lovely mother for making our family vacation unforgettable. We hope to come back!
