We were a group of 9 women visiting the wonderful city of Chania as a bonding retreat as we are part of an empowerment society called FEMLA. Our stay at Villa Giota - the customer service, the communication, the grace, and the friendliness - was unmatched. Our hosts were extremely helpful and went above and beyond to accommodate dynamic and busy women. The house is the family's childhood home, and it is full of beautiful marbles, a fun patio/pool area, with quality renovations. Plenty of towels for both bath and sea were available the entire week we stayed, and it was very helpful to have access to a washing machine (however, it is labeled in Greek, which makes it difficult to use if you don't speak the language). The arrival pack of snacks, chilled watermelon, and a fresh baked cake was wonderful, as we were exhausted from a long journey. Thankful also for the collaboration with Gerasimos's taxi service, as accessing the town/other activities by foot could be difficult otherwise (especially in heat). The house is located very close to bakeries, a supermarket, a restaurant, Golden Beach, and a fun, humble beach bar right on the water called Almyriki that we very much enjoyed. Would recommend this property for medium sized groups (ca. 8 people), and would definitely return if life brings us their way again. Thank you Panagiota & Kostas, we wish you all the best!
