The house was just as described and the garden and pool area is even nicer than in the photos now the hedges and vines have grown more. We spent most of our week out and about out, or on the patio eating.
Supermarkets are within easy reach (about 2km down the road) and there is a bus stop directly opposite the house to Chania (11 euros one way for 4 of us). We had a car but welcome relief to traffic and parking!
Best meals at Afrata (restaurant's card at the house) and the vegetarian place - the third eye- in Paleohora, and that was from a hardened meat eating teenager.
If you want a bit of quiet in the evening while being able to get to beaches and places of interest then this is a great spot with lovely hosts.
