We loved the serenity and beauty of this property. The pool was a wonderful addition as were the goats and cats that came by. We enjoyed the outdoor seating and the pool. The views were breathtaking!
The house is a short ride to and from Chania where there are many things to see and do! We loved the Old Venetian harbor. We spent one morning touring Terra Creta Olive Oil plant, then the harbor area, shopping and having lunch. We spent another day renting a boat from the harbor and spending the day on the water.
Other sights that made for lovely day trips included, Balos Lagoon (we drove but you can take a ferry from Kissamos), Elafonisi, Milia (worth the adventure to eat here!), the gorge, Farnassa Beach, etc. The list is truly endless!
We had a rental car which is essential if you are staying at this Airbnb. We could have spent another week here!
Regarding the home itself. It was lovely. It is two bedrooms with a loft. Know that the second bedroom opens to the loft and the loft opens to the common area so privacy is limited in these spaces.
The kitchen was not adequately equipped to make meals for a family. We made due but it would have been easier had we had additional utensils, serving dishes, sharp knives, cook ware, etc. It does have a large refrigerator which was perfect! This is a new rental. I am confident the host will add to the kitchen equipment to make this lovely space user friendly.
The house comes with one bath and hand towel per person. You need to provide your own towels for the beach. We did not know this and have never run into this in all of our international travels. We had to purchase extra towels to use at the pool and for the beach. There is also no cooler to take to the beach.
Definitely a property worth renting! We would send our friends and stay here ourselves again. We have so much more of Crete to see!
