We had a wonderful stay! Western Crete is stunningly beautiful! We are a family of four with two sons - 15 and 13. The house was a great place to use a hub for day trips elsewhere in western and southern Crete. Having a pool on days when it was hot and sunny was a definite plus, as well as air conditioning indoors. The house was clean and comfortable with absolutely incredible views of the surrounding countryside. The house is located in a small village about 25 minutes from Chania. A rental car is imperative as there isn't much within walking distance (Guests from the US, make sure to have an international drivers license with you, otherwise you may not be able to rent a car). But that's not a negative, it's the point - the house is isolated and peaceful as can be! Sofia was so helpful with suggestions and recommendations ranging from restaurants to day trips. I wouldn't hesitate to book the house again. Thank you for such a great stay!
