This is a great house for families. Has a kids pool, good quality sun beds, outdoor speakers, the house is clean and modern. The grounds of the property are lovely and the outdoor eating area BBQ are great. The kitchen is fully equipped and the bathrooms are clean, modern and have nice towels. Also it’s nice to have pool towels provided. Living area is a good size and a big TV with Netflix for both adults and kids and the Villa has a good speed of WiFi. Also we used a local delivery takeaway service from a place called Piglets, cheap and good food.
The communication before our stay was impeccable and the best I’ve ever had.
A couple of points to make. Be aware of the taxi situation, the person they recommend (Mr. George) charged more than the taxis from the taxi rank did for example €28 euros to Chania Old town and the local taxi ranks charge €25. Also we were charged €20 per taxi (we had 2 taxis and they were both 1 hour late) for a 5 minute taxi journey to an local hotel in Stavros. The excuse given was that it was because the drivers had to come from a previous job at the airport to transport us which is not our fault therefore we should not be made to over pay for Mr. George’s problem.
Secondly, we stayed for 8 nights and a representative from the Villas visited the Villa 3 times! Once with the cleaners, once to water the plants and once to cut the grass. This sounds small but when you have to constantly be letting them know which times are good for you and just wanting to relax it kind of takes the shine off as you are always having to let them know your availability. The person was always pleasant but it’s slightly disruptive.
Thirdly, no fault of the owners but please note there is a constant sound of crickets and when I say constant I mean loud and continuous from morning till night. If you want to sleep in the hammock during the day take ear plugs!
If we were to return I would definitely hire a car, even though the prices are high in Crete it would save on being messed about by Mr. George.
The Villa itself is great!
