Maria was very welcoming. She gladly accommodated my daughter's requests for certain kitchen items. Communicating with Maria was easy and she responded quickly given the 10 hour time difference. We got there late, on December 24th and Maria was nice enough to make us a dinner reservation at the local Taverna Irene, which stayed open late just for us.

The pictures are a pretty accurate description of the property. The orange, lemon and grapefruit trees in the garden were full with fruit. We had fresh orange juice every morning. Maria's mother decorated the house for Christmas. It was a very nice touch. We went in December so we didn't make use of the outside area too much. It would be wonderful in the warm weather with many different places to sit in the front garden. The pool area is also very nice. The inside of the villa was very comfortable. We were six people, (three couples) and a dog. We each had our own spacious bedrooms and bathrooms.

The location was very convenient. About the same distance from the airport as from Chania. There's a nearby grocery store and coffee shop. There's also a beach close enough to walk to.

We enjoyed staying at this property.
