After a lot of searching we booked Villa Georgia for 10 days as we were reuniting as a family after 3 years apart due to COVID (mum and dad in the UK and myself in Sydney, Australia). Peter has been absolutely amazing through the whole process, answering questions, providing a fabulous 'blue book' of his favourite places to go as a guide to the area. He welcomed us at the villa and every question was answered so quickly and action taken for anything we needed. He even helped us with our cases to the car! By far the best service of any Air bnb. He even helped us find a good car rental - Auto smart Car rental who were fantastic. Brand new car, couldnt have been happier.
The Villa is beautiful and exactly as you seen in the photos, with the main living area upstairs and a very large bedroom/lounge downstairs which if it had a kitchen could almost be an apartment on its own! The kitchen was well decked out with espresso machine, lots of nice cutlery, plates and platters, sandwich press etc It was also nice to have a little cupboard of things like olive oil, balsamic and herbs as basics oh and a lovely bottle of wine and water in the fridge too. We mostly spent lazy days by the pool under the covered dining area. We also used the coal BBQ too. The gardens are kept immaculate and pool and house were all cleaned multiple times during our stay. It is a peaceful, relaxing place to stay, breakfast on the balcony by the lounge, Netflix sessions in the evening, and chilled long days of peace with the odd goat/sheep running by the walls! Bliss.
Location - We loved the peace and quiet of Afrata, it has two tavernas close if you dont want to cook and the road is very peaceful with the odd touring motor bike winding down the lanes to the pebble beach. The only reason i didnt give the location 5 stars is that it is a good 10-15 min drive to the nearest town/village which is still quite small and not that remarkable! So it does mean driving 25-30 mins to Platanias or Kissamos to find somewhere with a little more choice of restaurants etc. We went to Chania old town 3x during the trip as we loved exploring the lane ways and having dining choices. We only really discovered Platanias on our last night and wish we had gone there more often.
Absolutely beautiful stay. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to recharge their batteries.
