The villa was absolutely perfect for us. We traveled with our three children, 1, 3 and 9 for a weeks stay. We did it all very last minute, despite this Michael was so quick to respond and help with the booking. When we arrived he was there to greet us and had left some fruit and breakfast for us. The villa is beautiful the kids adored the pool and the space was Ideal. There is also Netflix so always something to distract the kids with. Chania is around an hours drive and the old town is very beautiful. There are some beaches close to the villa that are nice and quiet and we much preferred them to the ones listed as best beaches in Crete much further away. There is another villa directly behind but you don’t notice it and villa unicorn is not at all overlooked. We didn’t have anyone staying there for longer than a day when we were there so don’t know if you would hear people or not. Michael organised a cleaner half way through our stay who came and changed all the sheets and there was also a washing machine and line so I could do all the washing at the end of the holiday rather than take it home to do it. Michael was an amazing host and was always contactable for any questions.
