Wow! Villa Chloe is by far the BEST holiday home we have ever, ever stayed in. Ioannis was a great host and communicated brilliantly. We didn't land in Chania until 1am and so didn't get to the villa until after 2am but the lockbox was easy to use so we could gain access to the villa. We were welcomed with some fruit from the trees, local olive oil, local wine, bottles of water and cakes which were very welcome having arrived hungry and no shops open at 2am! The grounds are absolutely stunning and the photos do not do it justice. There are many different places to sit all around the villa giving many options of sun/shade throughout the day without needing to move any furniture around. The views of the mountains are spectacular (particularly in early April when there is still snow on them - they took my breath away on our first morning!) and there is not one bad view from anywhere in the garden. The grounds are immaculately looked after, with beautiful flowers, fruit trees, herbs and vegetables for you to use. The villa is extremely private (our only neighbours were some sheep in the next field!), but you are still only a couple of minutes drive into Armenoi which has tavernas (try Tzatzikas!) mini-market /deli and a Pharmacy. Kalyves is also only a few minutes drive away: for the beaches, and more food shops - we got tuna from the fishmonger and cooked on the BBQ at the villa which was amazing. (Side note: In Kalyves we highly recommend Ταβέρνα Προβλήτα). The highway to Chania is very close too making it a great base for exploring the island. The house itself has everything you could ask for - the kitchen is really well equipped and there are plenty of books and games to keep you occupied. You do need a car here, although the walk to town is 15/20 minutes the road is steep and uneven in places - the last bit to the villa is a little off-road so just be aware of that too. We hope you will enjoy Villa Chloe as much as we did! We hope to stay again soon.
