We absolutely loved Sofia's place. We hired a car from Chania airport. You enter Nochia on the SatNav. It was not hard to find the villa as there are signs in the village. The house is beautiful and has all the warmth you would expect from a home. Lots of fabulous touches of decor like small ornaments and wall hangings for example. When initially booking I was concerned that the house looked quite dark inside and windowless but this is not the case. There are roof lights in one bedroom (a bunk bed & and a single bed) and in the other (King size bed) a window and glass door (all very secure). The beds are very comfortable and there is plenty of extra linen and towels. The lounge is really comfortable and the perfect place to relax after a long day at the beach or trekking in a gorge. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is a large dining table. Sofia's recommendations were superb. Balos Beach was an astonishing spectacle. Like a dream. Falasarna Beach was superb. Lots of waves and the children loved body boarding. The Botanical Park & Gardens of Crete were really interesting and a wonderful day out. Elafonisi Beach was also very beautiful. One of greatest holidays we have had in one of the most beautiful parts of the world and in one of the most beautiful houses we have stayed in. We will return one day.
