I have stayed in many AirBnB homes over the years, but this place was really special and a truly luxurious treat with everything you could possibly desire - and more! The villa is high up and very secluded - the nearby road is seldom used by passing vehicles. As such it is quite tranquil and removed from the bustle of life. The views are stunning and inspiring, and yet it takes less than half an hour to drive to the beautiful post of Chania and enjoy the wonderful food and shops. But there is no need to go anywhere: the villa has everything you need to entertain the family - we loved playing pool in the evenings and lounging around the pool during the day. The water was too cold for me given that it was late October, but that didn't stop my wife and daughter taking a plunge! We couldn't believe how well stocked the house was - it every type of pot, pan and utensil you could need as well as excellent facilities to cook and dine outside.

The owner, Anastasia, was there to greet us on our arrival and I can't sing her praises enough! She was extremely generous and helpful - she did some shopping for us before we arrived and provided lots of little treats and gifts. With her mother and her friend, she came to thoroughly clean the villa every few days and provide fresh bedding, towels etc.. We felt truly pampered by their warm Cretian hospitality. Kostas was also very helpful and communicative before and during our stay and provided an excellent support service during our stay.

If you can afford it, I would thoroughly recommend this exceptional villa - next time we will be sure to come when it is slightly warmer! Thanks again Kostas and Anastasia for a great holiday and wonderful memories - we hope to see you again one day!
