So many positives
This is a superb property that is equipped and furnished to a very high standard. Beds are really comfortable with air conditioning in both bedrooms. Little things like having bottles of water and kitchen essentials all available make a big difference so you can get on with holidaying straight away. It really is as good as it looks in the pictures with the pool and dining areas all having amazing views and being very peaceful as the neighbouring villa is occupied by a single permanent resident who is also very friendly and knowledgeable of the local area.
We stayed for 8 nights which was a big mistake, should have booked for 14! There is lots to do locally within easy driving. We visited Chania twice and Kalivaki beach twice as well. It combines well with a trip to beautiful Lake Kournas the same day. Octopus bay is only 10 minutes away and perfect for snorkelling or just enjoying the views.
Providing you have a car there are too many great tavernas to mention and all very well priced. The local tradition of providing a cake desert with Raki shots after the meal meant we often had bread, mains, desert and a drink plus shots afterwards for much less than we were used to paying on other holidays.
Getting to/from the airport is also an easy 40 minute drive.
Finally I should mention that we found the owners very relaxed but also really quick to respond and resolve the one issue we had during our stay.
So much to explore on Crete and this is the place to do it from!
