Our family of 5 were really happy with this villa. It is just as described in the advert. The whole place was clean, tidy and well decorated. The kitchen was the best equipped in a rental place that I have ever seen. Bathroom was large, and great to have the washing machine. Bedrooms were nice and quiet, as they back onto the orange grove, the beds were very comfy, and the air conditioning units worked really well. We loved the living room with the big patio doors out to the pool terrace, really comfy large sofa, and additional dining 6 seater dining table (as well as the kitchen 6 seater table). The pool was the highlight of the trip, really nice outside area around the pool. It was good to have the shaded area, with yet another 6 seater table. And great to have the sunbeds and umbrellas, and an outside shower. The local area was really peaceful, mostly fields, olive groves and farms - which is just how we like it. Every farm or house has a guard dog, so you will hear plenty of barking in the area (didn't bother us), also plenty of goats/sheep and farm cats. Villa and pool are right beside the road, but they are at more than a car height above the road, nicely made extra private with fencing, and anyway the village is really tiny so there is not a great deal of traffic. Neighbours were nice. 400m down the road there are 2 tavernas, of which Vitsentzos Kornaros was the better one. Our favourite eating place was Diktinas at Kolymbari harbour though (a few kms from the villa). Approx 1km away is Tavronitis beach, mostly stony - so hence pretty quiet. Perfectly ok for swimming there. (note: it is good to have swimming shoes in Crete, when you are at stony beaches because the stones are awkward to walk on and are hot in the sun, or at rocky snorkelling beaches where you could also encounter spiky sea urchins) There is a nice taverna on Tavronitis beach, with sunbeds. Tiny minimarket in the village, slight bigger supermarkets a few kms away. You could manage at this villa without a car, because the main Chania to Kolymbari bus route road is 400m away, where the 2 tavernas are. Buses are frequent. Anyway we had a car, and it was easy to drive to Kolymbari, Chania, Elafonissi, the mountains, other local interesting beaches, etc. The villa owners have a supermarket 1.8kms away, Kolymbari direction - they were super friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again, if we come to Chania, and would happily recommend it to anyone.
