We loved our stay at Villa Penelope. The view from the property is amazing, and it was the perfect place to just unwind and enjoy the sound of the waves crashing below. It has a generous-sized pool, along with a number of day beds, making it a great place to soak up the Cretan sunshine. We had planned to explore the West of Crete much more - but the villa was so great, we ended up staying by the pool more than anticipated!

In addition, George and Penelope were great hosts. They were very responsive and keen to ensure we had everything we needed. They gave us recommendations for local tavernas, and even booked a restaurant for us in Chania and organized taxi's for us. This really took away most of the stress in working out where to go and how to get there!

The beds were extremely comfortable - more so than in the majority of hotels I've stayed in.

The property is 20 minutes drive from Chania, and there is also plenty to do on the Akortiri peninsular, including the amazing beach Seitan Lemania. It's also only 15 minutes drive from Chania airport.

Overall, I highly recommend the villa. Thanks to George and Penelope for everything!
