Villa Rosa exceeded our expectations. The accommodation was smaller than other places we stayed in Crete, but it was more than adequate for our needs.
Pro's were:
- Friendly and very hospitable owners
- Swimming Pool (much appreciated in mid August!)
- Vicinity to the beaches (10 min walk) and supermarkets (5 min walk)
- Vicinity to Chania (25 min drive)
- A lovely evening of Cretan food and wine offered by the hosts
- Air conditioning
- Plenty of car parking space
- Balconies and sociable out door areas
- Local insights from the very friendly hosts (we enjoyed sitting and chatting with Emmanuel)
Cons Were:
- a few local dogs barking occasionally in the night (nothing the hosts can do about that and this is common place all over Crete)
- The kitchen could have been slightly better equipped, but we managed with what was supplied and if we'd have asked the hosts for anything then I'm sure they would have supplied it (such as washing up liquid and a sponge)
- Broken shower hook (but the other 3 places we stayed in had broken showers too!)
Overall, this accommodation was great value for money and we would recommend to families - our group consisted of mum, dad, grandma and two teenage girls.
