The vacation of our dreams!
We were two families; four adults and 5 children age 8 to 13, previously with several charterholidays together. This was the first time we decided to try AirBnb-concept out, and our stay in beautiful Crete and Georgios and Annas lovely house fulfilled all of our expectations and more!
The house had everything you would like, both for adults and children, and felt just like home. The architecture was astonishing, rooms were spacious and it was easy both to get privacy and to spend time together. The kitchen was fully equipped, lots of dining places inside and outside. The outdoor cooking area was also great, making supper meals at home a pure delight viewing the pool, garden, mountains and the mediterranean! The beds were comfortable with nice fluffy pillows and a variety of duvets to choose from. There were both shower towels, bath robes and pool towels, which were all exchanges one time during our stay. There was cleaning service coming twice a week, making living even easier. The carport had room for the two rental cars (recommended!) we used during our stay, to go on excursions on lovely Crete, sightseeing i Chania or grocery shopping to the large shop just 10 minutes away. The infinity pool was lovely, with a nice temperature though not heated, allowing plaing and freshness. And the garden - just marvelous: beautiful, thoughtful, with herbs and fruits, lovely both for recreation and meditation as well as adventures for the children. The neighbourhood was quite and peaceful, and if you are into some cardio; what could be better than down- and uphill running on the tiny road to the ocean in the blooming wildthyme scended mountain hills. The small beaches closeby were just wonderful; clean water, soft sand, sundbeds to rent if you want, showers, small taverns with nice service and lovely food suitable for both children and adults for a convienient lunch, and during our stay (23rd to 30th may) not crowded at all.
But the best of all: our hosting family Georgios, Anna, Aimilios and Georgina - the nicest people you would ever imagine! Ever! So marvellously helpful, easygoing, interesting, generous, easy to communicate with both before, during and after our stay and with a hospitality beyond everything! Our stay with them in Villa Niso fulfilled all of our expectations - and more! We will surely be back in the future!
