We stayed a week here and enjoyed our time. Our host was not Valia (who seemed to coordinate the stay) but rather "Efi" who was very kind and responsive to our questions and needs. We don't have many complaints, but there are a few things I would point out to future guests. The villa is only 8km from the center of Chania, so the general location is good. It is located on the side of a very steep hill and not the easiest to access from the main road. It is in a bit of a rural area, so you will hear roosters crowing, goats bleating, and dogs barking. The view overlooks the Souda harbor, which is where the cruise liners moor, so you will see them coming and going periodically. This villa appears very new, but is most likely a vacation rental only. Meaning that some everyday things you might expect to find in someone's home (napkins, paper towels, pen or pencil, blankets, spatula, etc) are not here. We requested a blanket and were provided one the next day. The Wi-Fi connection is extremely weak, and you can only get a signal either outside or on the sofa with the window open. I'm guessing the 18 inch thick concrete walls have something to do with that. The pool is extremely small such that we didn't even use it except once to cool off from a long hike. If you stay here, make sure you go to the patisserie just to the right of the driveway, at the top of the hill. We did not discover this gem until our last day. Overall, I would recommend this place as the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
