We absolutely loved staying in this beautiful villa and honestly did not want to leave. There were 9 of us and we had plenty of room, both indoors and out, to have our own space if needed. This is not a swanky modern villa but a gorgeous family home (a very large family home), surrounded by lots of well established trees and bougainvillea that provide very welcome shade and coolness during the day. The pool, Table Tennis, movie room with Netflix and the VR were all great hits with the kids and provided hours of entertainment.
Manthos and his lovely wife Athina, were amazing hosts. Upon arrival we had a huge bowl of fresh fruit, cherries in the fridge and a home made spinach pie which was absolutely delicious and eaten very quickly! They were both very gracious, full of local knowledge and very happy to help us out with whatever we required from cars to restaurants to the history of Chania.
One of the things I loved most about this villa was that after a day out exploring the old town or beaches around this part of the world, we could all come back to the solitude and peacefulness of Koukounari and totally relax. It was divine and I hope some day to return.
Thank you Manthos for sharing this piece of paradise with us.
