Myself and my girlfriend arrived in Chania Airport and used a rental car service to get to the Art Deco luxury suites. (Would definitely recommend hiring a vehicle for the week if your planning on visiting).
The drive from the airport was extremely easy and we were able to find the apartments with relative ease as it was listed on google maps and was around 4 miles away.
On arrival we were greeted by one of the most lovely hosts. Maria (owner of the apartments) showed us around the apartment and local hotspots to visit providing us with a map and a great deal of information about the local area.
Throughout the week she was beyond attentive and just an incredible all round host. She was extremely welcoming and was always around if we needed her help!
We always had the ability to contact Maria and she was extremely responsive through the Airbnb app. Whether it was fresh towels or bed linen or recommendations she was happy to help provide!
The apartments are absolutely beautiful and the property was absolutely spotless! We had the pool pretty much to ourselves for the entire week and I must say its a beautiful place to sit in the evening winding down with a cold beer! (Extremely Quiet)
Myself and my girlfriend were very lucky to get the ground floor apartments, where we could just hop over the walled seating area into the pool!
The local town is situated about a 13 minute walk away. Hence the need for a hire car if you need to pop out for you daily necessities (especially in the heat).
In the local town there is a bus that runs every half an hour to Central Chania (old town) where we experienced some fantastic eateries and some of the local culture such as the market and watching people being taken on a horse and cart rides.
The food that we had when we went was amazing, but be prepared the portion sizes in some places are MASSIVE. On one of the evenings we decided to try a place that Maria suggested for some Gyros. We ordered 4 plates of different things thinking we would be served small servings. How wrong we were!
On a serious note we cannot recommend this place enough! If your looking for the perfect getaway to recharge your batteries in an idyllic setting this is the place to come 5*.
All in all fantastic week!
