Pictures do not do Villa Patriko justice! This is such a beautiful villa overlooking unobstructed mountains that sheep regularly graze, a great view of the water and is situated only a few steps from the village of Kalivani. Kalivani is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. There are 4 tavernas which serve great food and a coffee shop, all with friendly shop owners.
Nantia went absolutely above and beyond, even going so far as arranging a gender reveal cake to be delivered upon arrival from a local bakery. This made for a memorable first night with our family. Nantia brought fresh flowers and treated us to a welcome basket full of local products (Raiki, wine, olive oil from their grove in Chania and much more) and a traditional Cretan meal. Nantia was always available for questions and sat down with us to provide extensive recommendations on things to do in the area. The villa was beautiful, comfortable, private, and situated perfectly in relation to the town of Kalivani and beautiful nearby sites. Our whole family (8 adults) had an amazing time, Nantia is the BEST host on airbnb and we all cannot wait to come back as soon as possible.
