We have had a fantastic stay at Ian's villa. There are 3 Villas on the grounds plus Ian's home, each one is very secluded and you wouldn't know there were other villas there, it was very private. The shared pool wasn't a problem, most days we had this to ourselves. The pool and surrounding grounds was big enough to accomodate everyone staying on the property and even when others were in the pool it wasn't an issue. My teenagers, 13 and 15, loved having the cats and dogs around which really were no trouble and not obtrusive into our space. The Villa is ideally situated for visiting Chania, 5-7 mins walk to the end of the road is a bus stop which takes you into Chania for 2 Euros per person, or cheaper if you buy the bus tickets at the local shop. The village supermarket was well stocked and Lidl was only about 10 minutes drive away. Its close to the main National Road which takes you to most places and is easy to navigate. There were some lovely local beaches within a short drive that were quiet and secluded, unlike a lot around Chania which were full of tourists and sun beds. I would recommend hiring a car though when staying here so you can enjoy getting out and about. The grounds were beautiful, well maintained and clearly loved. The villa was ideal for us with teenagers, it gave us some space. The two spaces are connected via the outdoor space and I would highly recommend this space for people with teenagers or two families but not an ideal space for those with young children. Ian was a great host, very friendly and always on hand to help out if needed. The outdoor gas BBQ was ideal for cooking everything, even Pizza, could've done with a couple more pans though. We had a fantastic holiday and would recommend staying at Ian's place.
