Villa Sophia is an absolutely splendid place with a magnificent view and a small but beautiful garden. It is perfectly suited for big families or even two families / groups of people. There is so much room to find peace and quietness, if you need to. But there is also much room to gather with many people comfortably. The rooms are tastefully furnished with much space to store things. The kitchen is fully eqipped and we got the only thing that was missing for us , a coffee percolator, within a few minutes from the very friendly and helpful Evgenia, who in general took really good care of us.
It is situated at the edge of the town, which makes it extremely quiet during the night. We slept fantastic and recovered from all the stress at home.
There are many of Crete's most beautiful beaches rather close, if you rent a car. Kissamos itself is a small town, which offers some good (fish) restaurants near the beach and the harbour and some places to go to in the evening. Chania is 30 minutes away by car and a very charming old city, if you want to go out for dinner or if you want some shopping experience.
All in all we had a fantastic and relaxed time with beautiful weather for the end of October. We really enjoyed it a lot and would like to come again.
