Alma's big house is a perfect getaway! My friend and I stayed just over 3 weeks and were very happy. Alma is a great host and genuinely cares about helping her guests have anything they need! She gives her all to helping organize anything you want (salon services, in home pedicures, local food & drinks) as well as keeps the home very well stocked with necessities many hosts don't provide.
The village is very pretty and we even got to witness (from the terrace!) a wedding at the small church.
There is a lovely and top quality restaurant in the village just 2 minutes walk which is quiet on week nights and boisterous on weekends. The restaurant owners invited us to attend the weekend events held there where we got to witness traditional musicians and dancers as well as the true Cretan community charm. It can be noisy late into the night on some weekends so be ready to embrace it all as if you are a local.
The rooms in Alma's home are beautifully decorated, the bathroom has some amenities and lots of towels. There is a washer/partial dryer (very euro style) which helped us out a lot.
The location is perfect for exploring numerous beaches of Western Crete and makes for a fast trip to the city of Chania for shopping, restaurants, bars and many evening walks along the port!
I HIGHLY recommend!
