The house is right by the see and the views can be quite spectacular. The beach next to the house is not the best for swimming (many rocks& waves), but 500 m further is a perfect area for that, at Zorba's beach (calm, clear water at the bottom of a mountain- very pitoresc). Near Zorba's beach there are a few restaurants &taverns with good food. Chania is at a 30 min drive and worth the trip.
The house, though not luxurious, is quite spacious and was comfortable for our group of 4 adults and 3 small kids. We had an ant problem so we kept all food seald or in the fridge. The AC's worked fine and were very effective. We would have liked to have more pots to cook in and shelves in the wardrobes. Overall a nice experience.
