Villa Thor is simply a great place to be in this area of Crete and enjoy the comfort of an AirBnB home as it should be.
Location is superb - everything in the area would be just near you (30’ to Chania and Falassarna Beach, 45’ to Balos, just 10’ for Kissamos). House is also at “just perfect” elevation (small hill less than 100m with very easy access) compared to rest of the Drapanias village and this allows for stunning views in the olive yards and further to the sea. The tranquility and the view every hour of the day from the large terrace is just superb.
The house can easily accommodate six people with a full family of four in ground floor and additional two in upper one - all spaces are very spacious. Inside the house you will find absolutely everything needed for a very comfortable accommodation. A/C in every space, dish and dry washers, TV sets (do not use them in Crete - so much more to do and enjoy) etc and in general a great quality of materials used and fine attention to details that show that the owners cared a lot when they created this space.
But every experience is not only about the space but more about the people. True Cretan hospitality from Nadia and her father Michalis and very quick and easy communication whenever needed!!! We were welcomed early in the morning and Michalis showed us everything around in the small village and in the house. They had even bought fresh bread and local treats (Cretan pies) for the kids from the small bakery nearby. Also, some great wines from local winery Pneymatikakis (a must visit in the area) were also there for us. Overall, I cannot stress enough how great the whole experience was. To my opinion this is a perfect house and great value for money also for long term vacations (over month) and/or remote working (WiFi coverage is great) and you can enjoy the benefits of Cretan life at its purest form.
