Few spots in Greece compare to this wonderful home!
We were all blown away by this property, which is situated in a very desirable part of Chania. We were celebrating a family reunion with 8 people (two families with kids aged 8-15), and feel so incredibly fortunate to have stayed in this marvelous place! The view of the sea is incomparable, including glorious sunsets each night. You are literally on the water with a private entry to the beach, which we used daily for our morning swim. The beach that adjoins is the KALATHAS beach, which is highly sought after for its gorgeous waters, shallow and safe environs, and even a nearby island that we swam to and jumped off slight cliffs. The house has a fully stocked kitchen with brand new appliances and a grill to boot! Did I mention the infinity pool? Ummm yeah! We would unwind after a long day at the beach at this pool, which was large enough for our teens to do laps. There are plenty of beach chairs and grounds that would be spacious for four couples. The pictures honestly do not do justice to this property! Your bedroom is literally facing the ocean and sunset; it doesn’t get more romantic than that!
Other features that I feel make this property unrivaled:
1. The owner is amazing! She is always available and a real gem! Offering us advice and completely flexible with all requests.
2. This was the first time in our travels in Greece where there was a dryer!!!! So we had a laundry machine and dryer.
3. The cleaning folks came to freshen things up often during our stay!
4. The towels are plush, plentiful and new (this can be a rarity in Greece).
5. Enough parking spots for all of our cars.
6. Upon arrival and throughout our stay we had welcoming treats inclusive of Cretan delights, wine, spirits, baked items, pastries, etc. Seriously, this alone is worth a few hundred dollars.
7. The aesthetics and architectural details are stunning!
The one downside? That at some point you have to leave! We cherished our time at Villa Niba, and want to thank the owner (a Superhost who understands Greek hospitality), and can honestly say that our memories of Greece will always include this incredible find!
