The villa is amazing. Completely new, totally equipped with absolutely everything you need. Nothing was missing in the kitchen to be able to cook or just prepare an easy salad in contrary to a lot of other Airbnb places, all the basics were there: olive oil, salt, butter, tea, coffee, sugar, spices, fruits… Each bedroom was well decorated with a lot of closets.
The house is even better than on the pictures, its big, full of light and cozy. AC everywhere, double glass windows, so very quiet. We didn’t have problem with warm water. We didn’t have any problem at all in fact.
One terrace had sun in the morning, so, not too warm end of May. Then, it was in the shadow in the evening, very appreciated. The other one is so big that a part was always in the sun, with 2 sunbeds.
As described, the house is on a hill, surrounded by olives trees, with a stunning view over the mountains. I advise you to wake up early enough to see the sunrise. Its 15 min walk to the village, 10 min bike to the sea. At the village, there are a few cafes, bars, restaurants, grocery stores, a butcher, a pharmacy and a bakery. There are more shops a few minutes by car on the way to the sea.
The hosts went over the top to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We arrived two hours later than expected, but they were waiting for us. They even thought about leaving some food in the fridge for the next morning and I hope you will be able to try their mothers pie. They also fixed bikes for us and gave us advices about what to do in Crete and where to eat and go out in Chania. The communication was smooth and without problem. They speak fluent English and were available every time we needed.
To summarize: Fantastic place which is brand new and the view is amazing over the mountain. The hosts were very helpful and gave us a lot of tips on things to do. By far the best place I have been to in terms of standard and location.
