Ian met us for check in and gave us a quick tour, explaining facilities/activities available on site along with Rachel who gave tips on supermarkets, shopping etc.
We stayed in Olive tree villa which was equipped with washing machine and dishwasher along with usual kitchen essentials.
The villas are set in private extensive gardens with bushes, trees, flowers, lots of lawn, benches to sit in the sun, an outdoor games area and of course a large private pool. Each villa was private from each other which we liked but there was opportunity to meet with other guests around the pool area or gardens if one wished too. The complex is an easy drive from Chania airport and literally 5 minutes from the National road making trips to other areas easy plus a bus stop into Chania Town is 5 minutes away.
The holiday complex is a family run business with Ian, Rachel and her parents; the emphasis being on the personal touch. Check them out on Crete-retreat.com.
