Happy Villa in Galatas Village is a high class place to stay at visiting the Chania region. We were 7 adult persons in our group and the villa offered more than enough space for us with four bed rooms and 5 bathrooms. Further more there is a huge living room - with a large screen TV and high end loud speakers - connected to a well equipped kitchen. In the basement we found a small gym, used by a couple of us most mornings... The outdoor area was good with a swimming pool and sun chairs. The whole villa was very tidy and clean and well equipped with a washing machine, drying tumbler, dish washer etc. The internet wifi connection was excellent in every corner and air condition worked well in all rooms. Be aware, though, that there are 3 steep stair cases if you have small children with you or if you have a major problem with your joints. You actually live on three floors, and especially the upper floor with a small extra living room and a roof terrace, offers privacy for those needing it.
The shore with restaurants and beaches was down hill (up hill on your way back...) at a walking distance, approximately 1,5 km away. Around the corner you could find a good restaurant, 500 meters away a small village center with restaurants and a bakery. The villa is situated at a street crossing, though, so you have to be aware of the fact that there is some road noice even in the night.
Our host Vagelis was very helpful and it was easy to communicate with him sending text messages. On arrival we found some basic food stuff in the kitchen, which was very convinient and welcoming after a long trip. There is a bus stop right outside the villa, but we moved around by our rented cars. Larger food markets could be found a 5 minutes drive away.
Getting around was easy. We visited Chania downtown, Imbros gorge, Elafonissi, attended a cooking course in Vamos village, had dinner at a winery etc. All within easy reach from the villa.
Over all, Happy Villa and our host Vagelis, made our trip to Crete enjoyable. Highly recommendable.
