Everything identical to pictures, place was squeaky clean, air con worked amazingly and pretty much the perfect place to stay. Couldn't recommend this place enough. The host was amazing with communication, gave us loads of recommendations for trips and places to eat. The pool was the perfect temperature and everything about the stay was heavenly. We were also allowed to leave bags at the villa on the day of checkout until our flight which was amazing help.

Very good communication. Easy and efficient. Thanks Katarina. Superb pool, two shaded terraces for quiet reading. Very large kitchen. We used the living room and dining room.On the other hand, the sofa bed on the ground floor is really an inconvenient extra solution.So the house would be perfectly suited for 8 people. Thanks, we had a great vacation. Activities in the area are less than an hour's drive away.

Katerina was the best host I have ever had. Such a lovely woman. Every day she sent me recommendations for restaurants, beaches and places to visit. She would make sure we were okay. She would send cleaners to the property to make sure it was clean and tidy. The property is also well managed, modern, beautiful and very spacious. I would honestly give this property a 10/10 review in terms of the quality of the Villa and the exceptional hospitality from the host.

The house is beautiful, especially the outdoor space and the wonderful pool. Chania is a beautiful city and the old harbour is about an hour’s walk from the house. The town was busy in the evenings but very pleasant to walk about with many places to eat and drink. If we could make a small recommendation it is to have a second parasol at the pool. Our Irish skin needed more shade from the hot sun. Thank you for a brilliant time
