Firstly the etouri group who manage the property were outstanding - in particular Mary who was incredibly generous with her time and was at pains to make sure we had what we needed as quick as possible, from oragnising a very good (and affordable) car hire to taxis for us to get into Chania to helping us with food to be delivered when we spent the evening at the villa. when a fuse blew she had an electrician at the villa the next day, they were very attentive and made themselves available if and when we needed some assistance.
The villa itself is even better then the pictures- the white mountains in one direction and the sun set in the other is very special, especially when viewed from the terrace on the second floor. the little cove a few minutes walk away is perfect for a morning swim and the water is crystal clear - you wouldn't spend the day there but that doesn't matter with all the other beaches around! stavros is a lovely beach just down the road with a beautiful fish restaurant called Almyriki Restaurant and Seitan Limania is (along as you don't mind a steep road/path down) with out doubt the most beautiful beach we visited and its only about 30 mins drive. Taverna Irene in the village nearby was a locals hangout with amazing food and a really great atmosphere, live music and and friendly service - we even went and bought 5 litres of red wine from them to take away when the shops were closed which was actually cheaper and more delicious then the shops wine!
We went in May and the weather was stunning - never dipped bellow 20 in the days and some nights you needed a like jacket but always nice. There is a bus that goes to Chania which stops outside right outside the villa which is cheap but there was road works so it wasn't running but we got taxis when we wanted to drink and drove when we didn't. It's a about 25 minute drive to Chania but I doubt you'd find a villa as beautiful and peaceful as this much closer.
100% recommend!
