We spent six days in Apartment Francesca. And six wonderful days they were! We were welcomed by Judy, who had put a bottle of wine and some supplies in the apartment for us.
We spent quite some time enjoying the amazing pool that we were allowed to use 24/7. It had a stunning view over the sea and was surrounded by a plethora of flora.
In the evening, the quiet corner next to the apartment was perfect for having dinner or enjoying a nice glass of wine.

Inside, the apartment is very spacious. The kitchen/living room area is a large, open space with two couches and a television. The kitchen cupboards contain almost every utensil imaginable. The bathroom had a shower/bath and even a washing machine. The bedroom has a ceiling fan which was a very welcome friend on sultry summer nights.
Overall, we were very happy with the facilities!

Vamos and Kalives are the two villages that are close by. They are both quiet and pleasant villages, which have managed to maintain an authentic character. Kalives has a number of tavernas and the beach is very close by. From Vamos, it is very easy to make trips to Chania, Rethymno or to see the south part of the island.

Our stay at Apartment Francesca was truly memorable. Judy was a great host, even getting a replacement part for the shower the same day it broke. She was there for us when we needed anything, but at the same time respected our privacy. We went home reinvigorated and well-rested, and would love to return again sometime in the future.
