We (3) people had a lovely stay at the Fenareti House. For those looking for a slow paced, easy relaxing stay this is ideal. The terrace area has a beautiful view and has a moderate sized table for a feast. There is a small charcoal grill available too. The house itself is definitely rustic, and offers shade and coolness for the perfect way to cool off after being at the beach the whole day. The nearest beach is about 10-15 minutes away, its a nice family beach, lots of children. Lots of beaches to explore. The house itself has one master bedroom, with a fan. The living room is large and has AC. Then there is another bedroom, that is lofted and has 2 twin beds, one on the ground floor and one above on the loft. No fan or AC in this room but because of the stone construction of the house, nobody was overly hot. It was very comfortable. There is parking (make sure your car has working emergency breaks for this space) that accommodates one car. The hosts and their family are sweet, attentive, and very hospitable. They offered us some local cretian goods that we thoroughly enjoyed. You can walk (5-10 mins) to many cute taverns and drive further down for more. There is a pharmacy nearby too. The area is embedded with numerous foliage and grape vines, lime bushes, and more. There are two bathrooms which is very nice. The hosts are easy to get in touch with and were helpful in every way. Easy to reach and left no room for misunderstandings :-) Place was very clean and tidy. Wifi works well.
The only cons I can come up with is that there is a small tv in the living room and it is not a smart tv, so can’t really enjoy it after a long day. And for those who prefer a very chilly home and fully AC’d, might find it a bit warm in the peak summer months. But it was totally fine for me, someone who loves air conditioning. Lastly the showers are very simple and small, definitely made for a quick rinse off not a long soak.
Neighborhood is close to chania airport and the town itself which is a very nice perk. If you’re looking for a simple, rustic, authentic cretian villa this is the spot. No frills, just pure relaxation 😎
Thank you for everything!
