Just returned from two weeks spent at Golden Hill Villa. This property was even more impressive in person than the pictures can convey. We traveled with 5 adults and 3 children. Nothing was lacking. We were greeted by Konstantinos upon our arrival for a quick tour of the place. There was complementary fresh fruit, wine, and coffee waiting for us at the house, along with all items from a preselected grocery list I had requested prior to arrival. We were traveling with a toddler, and there was a high chair and toddler bed in the house. We immediately felt at home in this space.
The grounds are impeccable! The children (and adults) enjoyed exploring through the orchard in pursuit of fresh fruit, beautiful flowers, and interesting insects. It was well maintained, and groundskeepers came twice during our stay. Although the unheated pool was a bit cool for adults in the May weather, the children enjoyed it immensely.
The house itself was perfect for our family. There were plenty of spaces for someone to get away alone, and the entertaining/family areas were big and comfortable. We did end up turning on the hot water heater most evenings before the group showered, because the solar heated water system didn't seem to last for all our party. It seems that the owners thought of everything in this property.... we had plenty of laundry detergent, found a first aid kid when someone was stung by a bee, and there were beach bags available.
Getting to Chania was easy from here, and finding grocery stores, etc. was simple. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a family vacation near Chania.
