In one word - faultess. We've stayed in many villas but this was probably the cleanest with the most responsive, warm hosts. The house, a rebuilt farmhouse over 100 years old, is in a beautiful setting looking out towards the white mountains. It has a great level of privacy, and an orange grove with an infinite supply of fresh orange juice! The only point to know of are distances to places - if you are staying put then not a problem, but otherwise just be prepared for a little drive - Chania 20-25 mins, Balos and Phalasana beaches 1.25 hours, Elafonisi beach 1.5 hours. For Samaria Gorge trips, the tour company will pick you jp from the end of the road. That said, as a base it was perfect and the driving was worth it to stay in this house. We'd highly recommend it!
