The house is by far one of the good ones we stayed in in Greece. It's beautiful. The garden is amazing, full of fruit trees (all organic!) and very well taken cared of. Cooking dinner and sitting outside to eat under the huge vine tree was so nice. The view of the mountains is stunning (especially at sunset). And jumping into the nice clean infinity pool each morning with our children was amazing.
The house was very clean and very well equipt. We found everything we needed for cooking, grilling, cleaning, washing clothes and so on. Vangelis even left us a few basic ingredients for our first day, including home made wine and olive oil! (a very good one must I add, and we're very picky about our olive oil...)
We stayed there with two babies and more than the child-friendly house we had a child-friendly host! Vangelis prepared the house with an extra crib, some new baby bed sheets and plenty of (new!) toys. We even found plastic cups and bowls waiting for us in the kitchen.
The Location is good for people how like the smaller and quiet villages of Crete. But having said that - it's close enough to Chania. And although the house is in the mountains, it's really a 10-15m drive to the nearest beach. And a 45m drive to some of the more remote and interesting beaches of the island.
The place is very quiet even though it's close to the main road. The noise from the road did not ruin our tranquility, and the house is bearly visible from the road, so it's still very privet. There's a comfortable, privet parking out just out side the house and the whole complex can be closed with a gate (that can be opened from inside with a remote - very convenient). Oh, it does require your own car, so if you consider staying there, you might consider renting a ride. And guess what - Vangelis can help you with this as well. Bottom line - don't even think twice.
