Our family had a wonderful stay at Kiara’s Villa. It is located in a part of the Chania region that is still not as tourist-oriented. The house is beautiful, has all the basic appliances and ingredients for cooking, and it is decorated like a real home with great taste. The breathtaking views of the sea and the proximity to Tersanas beach—150 meters away--are unbeatable. We were told by friends who are from Chania that Tersanas beach is one of the cleanest in the Chania area. The water is totally clear, the beach is sandy, the temperature perfect and there are no waves. We were traveling with my elderly in-laws, so having a smaller apartment on the first floor and a larger one on the second one worked out great. The house was thoroughly cleaned twice during our two-week stay. The bathrooms and shower stalls are somewhat small but everything else is so great that we didn’t care much.
Kiara and her father are fantastic hosts and they have a wealth of knowledge of and love for Chania and Crete. We had wonderful conversations with them about the history of Chania and their recommendations for pastry shops, restaurants and sightseeing were spot on. Kiara and her father also had some very kind gestures like bringing us figs form their garden and olive oil from their trees.
We have had many pleasant stays at Airbnbs but I would rate our stay at Kiara’s as the best and most memorable. Kiara’s dad is an architect –he remodeled the property—and Kiara has graduate training in hospitality. All of this shows and they are just very kind and generous people. Our family looks forward to returning to this amazing place.
