Charming villa, perfect location, amazing views!
The villa is great. Very clean, well equipped (kitchen items/appliances, towels, linens, bathroom amenities). The pool is quite large and very well maintained. We loved the combination of sea views and the greenery next door. Spent a lot of time relaxing in the hammock and having meals in the dining table by the pool.
The loved the location, everything was super accessible while the villa itself offered the much needed quiet and tranquility we wanted. . Loads of restaurants, taverns, super markets within a few minutes walk. The beach is just across the road and is quiet with gorgeous view. The town/village of Platanias is only 10 minutes by car and has great vibes. Its about a 25 minutes drive to the old harbour in Chania which by the way is gorgeous.
Chara, our host, was brilliant. Great communication before and throughout our stay. We were late arriving at the Villa and Chara waited for us patiently and welcomed us warmly with home made strawberry jam (which was delicious) and other welcome gifts. She gave us some great recommendations for local cafes/taverns. We especially enjoyed "The Wave".
All in all a great stay. We'll definitely be back!
