Villa Elements is a stunning house with epic views that will blow you away when you walk through the door. To be honest, the pictures don't do it justice. The views from the pool and the main living room are simply breathtaking.
The rooms themselves are all luxurious. The whole house is brand new and clean. The beds are extremely comfortable. The bathrooms are all clean and well appointed.
The kitchens (yes, there's 2 of them) are FULLY stocked. Plates, silverware, bowls, pots, pans, tupperware, aluminum foil, ice cream scoop, etc....you name it, and it's all there. It even has kids bowls/plates/cups as well.
The villa itself is a little hard to find the first time, but the Owner (Manolis) was very good with providing directions and even offered to come out and direct us in. Google Maps gets you really close, but the last couple of turns aren't on Google for some reason. After the first time, however, there were absolutely no issues with finding the villa.
Manolis, the Owner, is another reason this is a great place to stay. He is extremely helpful and totally invested in your group enjoying their vacation at his house. He went out of his way to provide recommendations, give us tips, and even went through the trouble of arranging taxis/vans for a couple of our group excursions when we asked. He doesn't mind helping and wants everyone to fully enjoy the Chania experience. He also owns a restaurant in downtown Chania called NAMA that I would also recommend checking out for their night scene.
The downtown Chania area is roughly a 20 min car ride from the villa. The big supermarket is about 12 minutes away. There is a mini-mart that is only 5 mins away.
Marathi Beach is only 10 mins away, and Kalathas Beach is a short 15 min drive.
This villa really is an amazing place to stay and it is very hard to find anything wrong with it. Usually a relatively new house will have a few issues/problems with items not working...but we experienced very few (if any) issues at all during our stay. Highly recommend you stay at Villa Elements if you have a large group that is visiting Chania. You won't forget it, and you won't be sorry!
