We had a lovely stay! The villa is really tastefully decorated inside and very clean and fresh with lots of natural light. The pool and outside area is south facing and gets sunshine all day, which is great, a real sun trap. Aggeliki was super quick to respond to all messages and very helpful. It’s a 1 minute walk in to the little village with a couple of tavernas. There’s a great little cafe with outside garden with orange trees where you can get coffee and pastries.
It’s 25 minute drive to Chania. It’s 5 minute drive to Kalyves beach which has some nice tavernas and breakfast/brunch spots on the beach.
The neighbour did have a dog, I think it belonged to her daughter who was visiting but it did bark quite a lot when it would see someone outside. Not really an issue but if someone is not a dog person or afraid of them then something to consider or check about beforehand. The daughter spoke good English and would take the dog inside.
A really lovely place that we looked forward to coming back to each day and would highly recommend.
