AMAZING villa from start to finish. Villa is huge, with 5 big bedrooms. It is brand new and we were the first visitors! it is obvious that so much care has been taken to build and equip this beautiful villa. Everything was new and immaculate. Upstairs - 3 bedrooms. Master bedroom has beautiful canopy-type bed with ensuite bathroom. You can lie in bed and look at the amazing view through the ceiling to floor windows (view is of mountains and the beautiful bay of Souda), and these open onto the huge balcony upstairs. The view was incredible to wake up to. Other 2 bedrooms are twin bedrooms, one of which has a small roof terrace. All 5 bedrooms have great air conditioning, electric blackout blinds (great for sleeping babies/kids as you can make the rooms pitch black if needed), very quiet in the bedrooms once doors are shut. Another large bathroom upstairs with a bath/shower and washing machine. Bedrooms had a choice of firm or soft pillows. Bathrooms all had locally made olive oil toiletries, our host also provided lovely baby products for the kids! Cleaners came once every 3 days to clean and change linen. Upstairs balcony has a dining table. Hallway upstairs is large with a seating area. Downstairs - Lounge/dining area. Huge dining table and lovely seating area. Airconditioned throughout. Both overlooking the incredible view with glass sliding doors onto the covered terrace. Kitchen is great, with lovely extras like filter coffee machine (filters provided), another espresso machine (coffee pods were provided), juicer (local oranges were delicious and we made fresh orange juice every morning). There was also sandwich toaster. Dishwasher (owner provided washing tablets for this). Huge fridge freezer. Additional 2 bedrooms downstairs - one with a king bed, other room has two twin beds. Both had big doors leading to outside terraces, both air-conditioned. Huge bathroom downstairs. Outside there are two large dining tables and a comfortable sofa-type seating area. 4 burner large gas barbecue which was brand new. Lovely big pool with loads of sun loungers. I cannot emphasise how gorgeous the view is of the bay and mountains. Beautifully landscaped gardens with lovely flowers, lemon trees and lovely herb garden where we picked fresh herbs for cooking. The host who built/owns the villa was wonderful and so helpful. He offered to meet us halfway from the airport to guide us in (though we did not require this as had the GPS coordinates). He provided so many thoughtful things like a welcome basket (with local pasta, bread, olive oil, wine, raki), and fresh eggs. His father lives in the local village Gavalochori and stopped by twice, with freshly laid eggs and freshly dug potatoes from his farm! If we needed anything, the host was there within minutes, and very easily contactable by phone. Villa is 45 min drive from Chania airport. It is 2 min drive downhill to the local village Gavalachori, and 5 min drive to Vamos. Both towns have small mini markets...
