Casa Leones is an absolutely wonderful place to stay on your vacation in Crete. There are 3 separate buidings each with different units, but the way they are arranged your balcony view mostly feels private. There is a gorgeous view of sunrise from this property (at least for the upper floor units) from the balcony (we had 3 separate ones). Having a kitchenette was also so convenient and made our stay so easy, for a quick coffee in the AM, wine in the evening, etc. They so sweetly left us with a lovely bottle of wine on check-in. There is laundry onsite if needed, a large pool, with a shallow section for children and plenty of room for parking. The place was clean, comfortable, and quiet. A/C worked well, hot water in the shower was great, and even had hanging racks on your balcony for drying clothes or swimsuits. Our room was on the top floor and had a vaulted ceiling too, which made the room feel even larger. The property is very well maintained and lovely.
The property is located just outside of Chania, which was a perfect location -- not in the thick of it, nor the larger city that surrounds old town Chania. It also made it easy to drive to wineries, breweries, monasteries, Balos Beach (highly recommend), etc. But you are a short 5 min walk from the main road in this part of town with shops, markets, and restaurants. It feels like a very surfer/beach part of town.
