My family would strongly recommend this property. We loved our stay here.
Golden Seaview, Platanias is wonderful. The views are beautiful. It is a newly refurbished property that has been finished to a very high standard, with great attention to detail. Everything is new and clean.
The hosts were perfect: they could not have been nicer to us.
The house is located very close to several restaurants that served great food and were amongst the highest-rated local restaurants on TripAdvisor. The main tourist area of Platanias, with its beach, bars and restaurants, is only a 10 minute walk away. The house is far enough away to ensure that it is in a very quiet and peaceful spot.
The house was very well fitted out with everything you could require. Our hosts also provided all the essentials in the house – bread, butter, fruit, coffee, wine etc, which was great as it meant we didn’t have to immediately go out and find a supermarket (there is a supermarket only 5-10 mins walk away).
The owners of the property, Kyriaki and Errikos, made us feel like part of their family and could not have been nicer. They even showed us around some beautiful areas around the Chania area, including tours of their family farms. I don’t think we have ever felt so welcome.
When we arrived from the airport, it was tricky to find the house - we arrived late at night and were not helped by Google maps ignoring one-way streets, so I would suggest ringing Kyriaki as you reach Platanias - you could meet at the church close to the house so she and her husband can help you navigate the last few metres. But don’t worry - Platanias is a small place and it is not far to the house.
I loved sitting outside on the terrace in the morning. We had perfect blue skies and lovely warm weather all week. It was such a relaxing place to stay.
