Truly Amazing Stay in Crete!
The Breeze House is perfect! From the moment we (myself, wife, and two grown daughters), pulled into the driveway through the sliding gate and saw the refreshing pool and immaculate garden area in front of the pristine home, we were hooked! This was even before we stepped through the front door of the house and checked out the huge patio in the back with so much space and many comfy places to sit, not to mention a beautiful view (and a charcoal bar-b-q). The inside of the house, like the outside, was super-clean and everything was like brand-new. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a washing machine, which came in very handy.
There were two large bedrooms which sleep two people each and a third bedroom with a single bed. All of which were very comfortable and roomy.
As for the location, this was also perfect! The small town with many restaurants, supermarkets and gas stations is a 10-minute walk (less than 2 minutes by car) and the old town of Chania is a 15-minute drive. Upon arrival, we were presented with a very helpful binder containing menus of different restaurants and maps of close-by beaches. There was also information regarding further away beaches, such as Elafonisi (2 hours away) and Falassarna (1 hour and 15 minutes away), in case they pique your curiosity as they did ours.
The host, Giorgios, and his mother, were truly amazing and thought of everything to help make our 7-day stay in Crete truly memorable. They spoiled us from the moment we arrived until the moment we left by having the basics for breakfast, among other items for us to enjoy, available upon our arrival, as well as throughout our stay. Their house is on the same property, in back of the Breeze House, but both houses are very private from each other. Yes, the property is on a bit of a busy road, but the house (and pool area) is not visible from it, and vice/versa. The little bit of noise from the road was not bothersome to us at all!
If we could have, we would have stayed longer. My wife is already trying to figure out how we can return again next year! Thank you, Georgios, and family, for a truly memorable stay!
