Roxanne Villa is a comfortable, modern, spacious and relaxing villa situated in the neighbourhood of Galatas near Chania.
The villa has absolutely everything you need and is very well equipped for a self-catering holiday. George welcomed us to the villa and upon arrival we had fresh fruit, cheese and ham, bread, croissants, cookies and two bottles of wine!
The villa has nice little touches from the candles in the open plan living/kitchen area to the soaps etc in the bathrooms and number of board games/poker set etc. The bed’s, linen and pillows are comfortable, every bedroom has air-conditioning. The bedroom at the back of the villa has an ensuite (also a washing machine within) and a separate door to the outdoor area and pool. The outdoor area is great, with a good size fresh water pool, shower, table and chairs and BBQ - great for family & friends. It gets good sun all day from sunrise to sunset and has a great view of the mountains and sea in the distance.
Location and transportation:
• Chania: is approximately a 10 minute drive away from the villa. We mainly got taxi’s into Chania which were around €7 or you have the option to get a bus to Chania from the bus stop which is around 40 metres away from the villa.
• Chania Airport: is around 25-30 minutes from the villa by car. George kindly offered to arrange transfers for us to and from the airport which was great and hassle-free.
• Kalamaki beach: this is the closest beach and it’s about a 20 minute walk away from the villa, there are restraunts/cafe’s along the beach and its a 10 minute walk from here to Iguana beach which is lovely.
• Phalasarna Beach (in Kissamos Province): is about an hours drive from the villa but so worth a visit, absolutely beautiful! Clear turquoise waters, with a great beach restaurant and bar called Playa Paraiso - great Gyros!
• Balos Beach: there is a boat that goes from Kissamos port at around 10am, we got a taxi to Kissamos which cost €60 between four each way.
Communication from George was great throughout, he provided information on anything we required including local taxi’s, restaurants and shops. He also provided fresh towels upon request. What a great holiday, thank you! Would happily stay again in the future.
