The house is located in the heights of a small village with typical tavernas around big plane trees. Up there, it is very quiet and from the pool you have a nice view on the mountains around. The poolside is a great place to enjoy, with a set of garden furniture, deck chairs and a porch with some valuable shadow depending on the time of the day. The pool itself is modern, with progressive depth, where our 5 and 6 yo children had some feet on one side. They also appreciated the many pool accessories...
We had 2 rooms and 2 bathrooms, tiny but well designed and very clean. There is a separate part of the house with independent access which was unoccupied, but can probably allow a group of 8 people to be in the house globally when open.
From the house we got to different places, Chania in the west, Kournas lake in the east, many beaches, all quite close (15-30'). We also went to the peninsula after Chania. Every time it was easy making some visits, monasteries, a boat trip, etc... during a part of the day and enjoy the pool the other part.
Mina was very welcoming and we did appreciate the thoughtful presents. We have had a very pleasant stay.
