Although this villa was below our expectations as a romantic couple retreat, it would be fine for a larger group of people sharing in the cost. We were disappointed that it was not walking distance to the centre of Chania town. The buses were sometimes full and wouldn't stop for us. As well, they took a circuitous route that added about 15 minutes to the 5.5 km direct ride. The hosts were very knowledgeable about local restaurants and activities and very willing to help out with travel arrangements, etc.
