This apartment exceeded our expectations in many ways. It is simply beautiful, practical, comfortable and has everything you need. It is furnished with taste and attention to detail, with many artistic touches. It is set out in a quiet area where families live and where houses are at a distance from each other. You will hear roosters and plenty of cicadas. The views from inside the apartment, even from lying in bed, are SECTACULAR. There is big balcony with table and 2 chairs where you can chill and take on the gorgeous view onto the Souda bay and see the boats come in and onto Giorgos lovely garden where he grows herbs, which you can walk through and sit at the top of it and take in the view. An awning over the balcony would be useful as the morning sun makes it difficult to stay too long. If there is anything you need, either in the apartment or suggestions around the area and beyond, ask Giorgos. He knows everyone and everything. He will do his best to make your stay as comfortable as possible. He and his family live in the house attached to the apartment. The one thing you need to know however is that you will need to move around with your car. Nothing is far but once you get out of the dirt road leading to the house, you are on a main road which would not be safe to walk on, at least for a tourist. There are beautiful beaches and tavernas close by and Chania is 15 minute drive. Oh, one last thing, makes good use of the maps that are in the apartment. They are all made by Gorgios, by area, and are incredibly helpful. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend Gardens of Zephyrus to anyone. Thank you Giorgos and Vana!
