We had an amazing time at the house! We stayed for 4 days but we didn't want to leave. One of our all-time favourite AirBnBs for sure.
Location: the house is in a small village in the hills. We chose it because it's not super central so we get a chance to relax and enjoy the nature but at the same time it's still close enough to both Chania and the beaches on the west coast. It was the perfect location for us because it made our daily drive to the beaches (Falassarna and Elafonisi) at least 15-20 minutes shorter than what it would have been in Chania. At night we would drive to the old port in Chania which is about 25 minutes away. When we didn't want to drive there for food, we would just eat at the village's family-run restaurant which always had amazing home-cooked meals!
House: from inside, the house is quite modern but it still has a distinct country house feel. There is an amazing terrace where we would have our breakfast or aperitivo that overlooks the vast olive tree groves surrounding the house. We were two people at the house but if you're a larger group, be mindful that the different sleeping spaces are not separated by doors (they are on 2 different levels though). The house is surrounded by olive trees and fruit trees. Also living on the estate are the owner's sheep and 3 dogs (the dogs are super cute and they would greet us when we arrive every night in front of the house).
Host: the owner of the house, Maria, is one of the sweetest AirBnB hosts we've had. She greeted us with homemade treats that were amazing and was always a phone call away.
Communication: George who manages the house was responsive and was very kind in his communication with us.
Value for money: we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we would highly recommend Maria's house. Evidently, we think this was great value for money!
