Villa Joy is an excellent villa which has been well designed with quality bedrooms and living space. It is well equipped and the main living areas are bright, light and comfortable, although the kitchen is smaller than one might expect for such a large villa. The games room provides plenty of opportunity for family fun.
Outside there is a decent bar-b-q and fridge which makes for a pleasant place to eat. The pool is large, however it is deep (>2m) across its whole surface; it might not therefore be suitable for families with small children. The Villa was cleaned each day and bathroom and beach towels were changed regularly. The kitchen was well stocked when we arrived and Irene had provided a wonderful welcome pack.
It is not possible to walk into Chania from the Villa, but there is a bus every hour and taxis are cheap (8 each way). The local Tavern (Nikos) is brilliant and well worth visiting. Be ready to endure barking of the local dogs which can be incessant.
