We have just returned from our second fantastic holiday at the beautiful "Breeze House"!
We can't wait to book our next holiday here, I think it has now become an annual vacation must for us all to visit this beautiful villa and it's wonderful hosts Giorgos and his amazing mum!
I can't emphasise enough the great location of this villa & all it's local amenities it has to offer.
The arrival from Souda, Chania airport is an easy drive 10-15 away, without the intrusion of aeroplane noise when staying at the villa.... super bonus!
There is a delightful family friendly beach nearby, 5 minute drive, to Kalathas with a drinks & snack bar beautifully clean and only €10 per two loungers and an umbrella for the day... bargain!
The local village / town of Kounoupidiana seems to have all it all.... restaurants... (a particularly good local pizza restaurant "Bella Pizza" fresh delicious Italian style pizza's eat in or take away / delivery) cafés, ice cream / gelateria, local bakery that's a 5🌟 visit, pharmacy, reasonably priced gas / fuel petrol station, Kounoupidiana has a great selection of general shops...you name it!
There is also a fairly large supermarket to rival any high end grocery store with the most amazing fresh fruit, vegetable, fish and meat counters with a great selection of everything else you may need from a weekly shop & more!
Chania town itself, with it's stunning Venetian harbour, is a close few minutes drive away.
Chania Town has much to offer with its picture postcard little streets and a harbour to rival Portofino Bay itself! as its design is remarkably similar. There are great restaurants lining the harbour here & it has a lively but respectful busy buzz, great for families or romantic evenings.
We ate out everyday and can honestly say we never had a bad meal or an upset tummy.
We did find a couple of exceptional restaurants one of which was restaurant "Theodosi" with it's unrivalled food, impeccable waiting staff & a view for the Greek Gods...especially amazing before, during & after sunset. Try their local homemade iced dessert wine a refreshing alternative to the usual Raki served at the end of a meal by most other restaurants. I only wish I'd purchased a bottle... always next time I suppose!
The other was "Blue restaurant " this can be found as you descend down the hill into Chania. This is almost Malibu beach designed seaside restaurant with its side opening shutters allowing you to soak up the stunning Cretan views & awe inspiring sunsets. The menu was delicious and the food we ate here ( 3 x in all) was addictively delicious. I thoroughly recommend the Calamari, Seabass and creme brulee... awesome!
I left cards for these restaurants inside the helpful information folder in the villa.
There is also an Instagram worthy bar / restaurant nearby called 'Carte Postale' with the most amazing view of all of Chania day night, sunset or in between!
Would recommend for cocktails or drinks only not food though as we made a huge mistake here the menu was very limited (with no alterations if there was something you didn't like or couldn't eat on it) we waited nearly three hours just to get four main courses.. only! Thank god for the view!
The steaks were amazing but not worth waiting hours for! Do yourself a favour, have a drink, take some awesome photo's and go to the Blue restaurant down the road to eat.
All in all I can not say enough positive reviews regarding Breeze House, it's location and it's most A1.... 5 star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 hosts Giorgos and his mum, such warm welcoming honest people... simply beautiful!
Also worth mentioning Breeze House also has to offer a built in filter tap / faucet in the kitchen with ice cold glass bottles of water to welcome you in the fridge (no need to haul heavy bottled water back to the villa) plus red & white wine initially supplied. An abundance of various fresh fruit from Giorgos own orchard, golden plums, peaches, pears etc;
relieving air conditioning, light bright windows and that ever welcoming swimming pool.
The villa has ample parking, automatic security gates, private gated gardens and night lighting, including the pool. A five aside football / soccer pitch.
Stunning views of Souda harbour from the well equipped rear garden terrace with large outdoor table & chairs, gas bbq and large raffia relaxing L- shaped settee with a generous shade umbrella. It's hard to tear yourself away from the awe inspiring view from this extremely large rear terrace.
At the front of the villa there is an additional table & chairs, very comfortable & ample amount of sun loungers and large white sunshade umbrellas.
You can seek the sun or the shade all day long if you wish at Breeze House.
The location of Breeze House is quiet, secluded & private but only minutes away from all you could need to make a memorable relaxing ir exciting holiday.
Places to visit like Elafonisi beach (an absolute must!) with its famous pink sand. It's ranked 5th best in the world! Elafonisi would rival any carrribean island beach I've been too, including Sandy Lane, St. James, Barbados!
It's a fairly long drive away, so make a day of it, about one & half hours drive but so worth the visit, you won't regret it. There's toilets, drinks bar / cafe and restaurants here. All very clean and very very family friendly. Again €10 for two beds and an umbrella for the day.
Villa Breeze House has so much to offer I could go on forever... but I've said enough it's time for you and your family to experience a holiday to remember for the rest of your lives!
You're welcome x
