We have stayed four days in Villa Cetrea in April. The house is located at the upper edge of the village Fournes (west of Crete) easily accessible from the city of Chania (about 20 minutes). We were welcomed warmly by Roula and her parents Stela and Theo. In fact we have communicated with Roula extensively before our arrival and she replied to all our questions promptly and attentively.
The house is simply perfect and beautiful in a middle of a citrus orchard. We felt like arriving at paradise. The owners invested a lot in making it a comfortable and well-equipped lodging. Many well-thought little details make it so comfortable, home-like. The kitchen has everything one needs for cooking and preparing meals. They provided us with fresh oranges from their citrus orchard, which we squeezed to amazing juice. Stela welcomed us with her mythological and famous orange chocolate cake which was delicious. Theo made sure we try his tasty red wine, and came especislly one day to prepare the two pairs of bikes. The living room is large enough and has a new TV that can be connected to a laptop, or to the DVD player. The Wi-Fi worked well.
The two bedrooms upstairs are comfortable and nice with a balcony to the scenic view of the valley and the mountains. The swimming pool and its surroundings are a treat! The highlight is the surroundings of the house, the orchard, the garden of flowers, herb bushes, the BBQ, the close river and more.
We highly recommend this Villa. If you are looking for comfort, quietness, central spot for trips, bike ride etc. – this is a perfect place. If you are looking for welcoming hospitable and very nice Cretans hosts – this is the place.
