We had a wonderful and relaxing family holiday at Villa Ariadne in sunny Crete! We found it to be just the right location for us - it’s a very quiet area in the countryside but with access to everything you would need - beaches (we just went to the nearby one and it was lovely!), Chania airport 45 mins, various shopping/grocery stores, local food (Maza Cafenion is a short walk up the road and was like an amazing home cooked meal), vineyard (Dourakis nearby is a low key spot with nibbles and amazing wines!), historic sights, etc.! Would definitely recommend a car. Katerina and Giorgios were incredibly responsive and helpful hosts whenever needed (eg arranging someone to come round right away to sort WiFi issues that arose). With two very young children (age 1 and 2), we needed something with the space and amenities for us to be self-sufficient and enjoy time by the pool with the kids whilst also having space and time to ourselves during their naps and after bedtime. Villa Ariadne was perfect for this and we would definitely recommend it to other guests / would love to stay again in future!
