This villa is a great size and well equipped. We stayed here as a 7 (5 adults and 2 children) with ample space and room (1 room empty). The grounds are large and the pool is a good size. You do lose the sun around 6.30ish but to be honest, the shade is welcomed when you’re there in August and it’s 33 degrees! Getting around is easy (you need a car). Platinias is a 5 min drive with many restaurants, bars and a nice beach. By far our highlights were Chania Old town and chartering a boat from the marina and Balos Beach; absolutely incredible. Never been in sea so clear and blue and I’ve been to the Caribbean and Thailand. Definitely go!!
Argiro, the host, was extremely helpful and responsive. I highly recommend the villa.
