The host Zacharias provided a perfect welcome. We arrived late on a Sunday hoping to find the standard items but was blown away by the home cooked dinner, local wine & raki in addition to olive oil and other necessities that were appreciated. The hospitality continued when he checked in mid holiday with a HUGE box of cakes from the local bakery which were of the highest quality. On the one occasion the internet went down he communicated quickly with us and when we could not fix the issue remotely, he attended straight away and got the connection back up and running. The location is closer to the beaches and town that I had initially thought. It was the right balance of providing a quiet location (during COVID times) and a short drive down to the local beaches and city. I was also surprised on opening the window the following morning at how good the view down to the coast was and the local area is rustic and many fields are full or local olive groves or other fruits / crop. We picked the location due to the pool which was just the right size for our family and was the same depth which gave us confidence with the children. We found day trips to Chania, Bali beach and Priveli beach were all achievable without to much complaint from the ones in the back seat. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone considering a holiday in this area.
