Valia/Efi’s place is wonderful and we had a great stay.
We arrived late at night but Efi still came to greet us for check in and also offered to meet us 10 minutes away to escort us to the villa as it is a bit tricky to find after you turn off the main road, which was much appreciated.
There was a ‘welcome basket’ of food and drink which was very generous and so helpful as it meant we had some provisions for the first morning and didn’t have to rush out to get something for breakfast, which we were very grateful for.
The villa itself is immaculate and the views are breathtaking. It was very peaceful and relaxing to be there. It is close to a good supermarket and only a 15-20 minute drive from Chania where there are a number of good restaurants along the seafront/harbour.
Valia and Efi were both really accessible both before and during our stay and provided us with useful information about local supermarkets and restaurants.
The only downsides were that the stairs aren’t that child friendly as someone could potentially slip through the railings at the top, but we just made sure to supervise our 3 year old coming up and down which was fine. Also, being quite close to Chania airport is great if you are flying into there but some of the planes were quite loud early in the morning. However, having stayed at a number of air bnb properties over the years we would rate this as one of the best and would definitely stay again if we went back to Crete. Thank you Valia and Efi for making our stay so enjoyable!
