This is a special place. The photos are accurate but it is even more beautiful in person. Our family of 5 had so much space and thoroughly enjoyed long mornings relaxing with a swim and beautiful sunsets with another evening swim. The home is very clean and all the amenities one would need. At the end of the day after touring or beaching, if we did not eat out, we so enjoyed dinner down in the village where we were always made to feel welcome. Emmanouil and Susan offered personal suggestions given our interests and time and they greatly enhanced what I had already sketched out - even a restaurant in Chania and a local beach reducing hassle and travel and a driving route through the mountains to reach Imbros Gorge and the other coastline. It is a great location for western Crete and the home is situated up high with a stunning view of Souda Bay. I highly recommend this very special villa!
