This was our first trip to Crete and now we hope there will be many more. It is always difficult finding the right place to stay the first time, so we put a lot of trust in the Airbnb reviews. We wanted to stay somewhere quiet and peaceful but close enough to Chania and it's surrounding areas. We found Villa Francesca, read the reviews and decided to apply. Our experience was exactly as was written by others. Our hosts, Judy and Mike were excellent hosts and only to happy to help if asked. The villa was spotlessly clean and fully equipped and the entire property was beautifully maintained. We loved waking up every morning and going for a swim in the pool. And the other reviews are correct when they say it's better than the photographs.... that's true. We will definitely be returning to Crete and hope to stay again at Villa Francesca. We highly recommend it.
