We loved totally getting away from life with this remote, mountainous location. The local near-by villages were nice to visit. This villa is a good hour's drive from Chania Airport on mountainous roads. We'd recommend you visit in the summer months when the pool is available for use, because it's a beautiful spot overlooking the valley below. It's a nice setup for a large family... but it's not for the faint of heart. LOTS OF STAIRS... many levels in this rustic villa. Also: If you come in the winter months, the gas for central heat is not included in rental cost. The cost for oil was 100 EUR for the four nights we stayed. If you love the outdoors and getting away from the busyness of life, this villa is for you!
