What a beautifull Greek experience, hospitality at the top. If you are surching for a quiet, peacefull and relaxing surrounding, this is the place.
A beautifull, very clean, spacy house with a large, and I mean large, sunroof with places of shade and sun for the whole day.
On one side you see Chania and the sea on the other side the mountains. Downstairs is a garden where you can enjoy the calm and relaxing mood off sitting under the olive and fruit orchards.
The house is exactly as shown on the pic's.
The family from Ilias lives nextdoor but they use the other side of the garden so youre privacy is ensured.
The manager, Minos, helped us with finding a reliable car-rental firm "Akalis Rent a Car" who picked us up at the airport with our rental car and brought us to Minos who brought us to the villa. There he explained everything about the house and offered us a welcome that was so nice we will never forget.
If you stay longer than a few days you will need a car.
It's the countryside, there is one restaurant/bar (Antichristo) nearby (15 min walking). There are two others (Tzaziki, very greek feeling), and the 3th (Elektra) we didn't visit because it whas closed. For the last 2 you need a car to get there. For a supermarket (Synka) you also need a car.
If you want to go to Chania it's a 10 minute drive.
There are a few beaches also at a 10 minute drive but the beach that was the most relaxing for us was "Eastern Gulf Agioi Apostoloi" with the most friendly caretaker Yannis. There's a litlle bar on the beach where you can enjoy a simple greek salade, fruits, hamburgers with french fries or souflakis with a cool Mythos beer.
