I don’t usually write much about places we stay, but this time the quality of the experience was so great I felt it necessary to share some of the details. Barbara is a superb host. She answered all of our questions ahead of time as we were planning our travel to make our arrival simple. When we arrived she offered suggestions about where to go and things to see. She is anxious to make her guests feel welcome however she can. The home is even more beautiful than the pictures show, and it is immaculate! There are four large bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, so perfect for a large group. Barbara has added personal touches specifically for guests; new mattresses, hair dryer, Dad’s olive oil in the kitchen, .... just personal touches that make it feel like a home. There is plenty of parking, and a car is necessary to see the many sites around the island, although there are grocery stores and restaurants within walking distance. It is about 3.5 miles outside of the city of Chania, so more rural feel than being in the city, yet close to amenities. An excellent get away!
