Villa Katerina-Despina far exceeded our expectations. It's easily one of the best Airbnb homes we've ever stayed at. The house is a gorgeous space and it was immediately obvious to us that Vaggelis and his wife Katerina cared deeply for the house. Their pride of ownership was apparent through all aspects of our stay. They met us when we arrived and showed us around the house. The house felt very overbuilt with high-quality details and upgrades all around. The furniture was high quality as well (unlike the trendy but lower-quality furniture you often find in AirBnBs). The house was also extremely well-stocked. The kitchen had every appliance imaginable, and everything felt very thought out. We enjoyed coming back to this house every evening to enjoy the spectacular views from the deck. Ultimately, leaving this house was hard because it was so, so special. I'd highly recommend this as a place to stay that's within close proximity to Chania. Once you get a feel for the area, it's a quick 10-15 minute drive to town. In exchange for the drive out of Chania, you are met with a peaceful oasis that is exactly what you hope for after a day of exploring Crete.
