A wonderful view over the bay from the balcony was enhanced by the view on the moon rising above Chania.Everything is clean, Effi does a fantastic job, and the pool was very welcoming in the hot weather we had.No doubt about it a car is useful for this villa but the bus stop is a ten minute walk downhill so easy enough, although a bit of a climb on the way back.Lots of restaurants and shops nearby but as it's higher up it's quiet and peaceful in the villa.

Beautiful clean and well-equipped villa with a lovely pool and gorgeous views! Hoist and Effie (housekeeper) were both very helpful. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk to the seafront, shops and restaurants, which is fine in the evening, but we found the steep hill quite arduous in the heat of the midday sun!! If you don't hire a car I'd recommend getting a taxi to the supermarket to get your supplies for the duration of your holiday.There's a company called the Little Fun Train which offers very reasonably priced excursions. You book online and it picks up close to the bottom of the hill.All of the restaurants we tried nearby were good - our favourite for a traditional Greek menu was Kosmas Taverna. There is also a fantastic bakery selling filled baguettes and pastries called Tres Jolie.

Effie was fantastic and helped us throughout our entire stay with everything we needed. The place was clean, enjoyable, and in a great walkable location. The steep hill is worth it, as it offers beautiful views overlooking the beach, Chania, and the mountains. We will definitely be returning next year again.

It was very clean, Effie was a wonderful housekeeper who was always there to help and have a lovely chat too. It was a peaceful area, just as we wanted it to be. The town of Stalos was a few minutes drive away. Lots of shops, tavernas, etc. You definitely need a car there if you want to avoid a very steep walk up the hill. It also allows you to explore the island which is 100% worth it. If the internet was faster, I would book this place for a couple of weeks so I could work from there plus enjoy everything this place has to offer. We paid for the heating of the pool, otherwise it would be slightly too cold for us (we stayed at the end of April). It was perfect.Thank you for a wonderful care

Our expectations were not disappointed, the villa is even more beautiful than it seems in the pictures! Communication in advance was straightforward and reliable. We also got some tips regarding day trips and taverns. Effie welcomed us with a large fruit basket, a bottle of wine and a bottle of olive oil. We have rarely been greeted so warmly and lovingly! Effie was available at any time for questions. In the evening, you have a wonderful view over the city from the balcony. The location of the villa is particularly well suited to explore the west of Crete and especially Chania. In the village itself, there were fresh rolls within walking distance in the morning and generally everything for daily needs. Overall, this villa is a very clear recommendation!

We had an fantastic time in this house. Two weeks felt much longer as we thought and were very enjoyable. Everything was very clean and like the descibtion. The view is fantastic and was really quiet. But down the hill we had restaurants, bars, entertainments - perfect location. We defently can recommend the villa. Public Transport is on the main road, but we think, that a car is neccessary because the way up to the villa is steep an with all the shopping it would be very hard to walk up.

Michalis and Effie welcomed us as soon as we arrived (although earlier than we had told them!) and were constantly in touch for everything we needed! The house was fully equipped, we stayed comfortable and cooked with all the utensils, really like home, while when we arrived they were waiting for us to welcome local products (wine, oil, fruit)! The pool and facilities were cleaned regularly and after communication so as not to be disturbed. Thanks for everything and we hope to be able to come back!

The host was super friendly and easy to communicate with, always responsive and really helpful. The villa has great amenities (all of which as listed in the descriptions) and they even provided a cot for us, which made things so much easier for us and out our little toddler.The villa itself was perfect for our purpose – we booked it for three days during our wedding and it honestly couldn’t have been better. It was comfortable, spacious, and a great place to get dressed on the wedding day but also it was great to relax in after all the celebrations.We’re so happy and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Chania!

Effie - who met us really friendly and helpful. Place was cleaned 3 times over our 10 day stay - which was great. Local restaurants and amenities close - as long as you don’t mind the climb home. Buses to Chania frequent and easy - don’t worry if one or two drive straight past - they seem to come in 3s. Really helpful so that we were allowed to remain at the villa on our last day until mid-afternoon as we had a late flight and no other visitors expected until the following day.Two very minor negatives - local supermarkets are no good if you like to cook with fresh local produce. We were left a lovely bottle of white wine and some fruit - but a few other provisions (milk, bread, eggs etc) would have been very nice - so we didn’t have to go shopping straightaway (especially if you don’t have a car). Effie DID offer to take us to the local shop in her car - which was very kind, but the pool was more appealing!On the whole was great though!

We had an amazing stay at this villa. Michail was an exceptional host offering lots of travel tips and even driving us to the big supermarket one day! The view from the villa is incredible and so much better than the pictures make it look, the villa has more than one balcony so you can always enjoy the sun and view. The pool is private and the whole courtyard area is lovely! Efi the housekeeper was very friendlg and helpful. The villa is only 10 mins from the shops restaraunts and beach and is worth the uphill walk for the amazing view. It was spotlessley clean and the extra touches of wine, shower products and pool towels were fab! Hot tub in the lounge was great!

We felt right at home from the moment we walked in the door. Effie messaged me in advance with very clear instructions on how to find the home easily along with written instructions at the entrance about wifi, water, air condition, parking, etc. This villa is extremely comfortable, spacious, clean and has all the amenities needed to feel right at home. The pool was pristine and we thoroughly enjoyed it throughout our stay. And the view from the villa is absolutely beautiful! We stayed for 5 nights and Effie came after our third day to change our sheets, replace towels and clean the pool and villa. This was greatly appreciated! I highly recommend this villa to anyone who is looking to stay in Chania. It is located in a very central area where you can get to and from other parts of Chania very easily. It is very close and walking distance to shops, supermarkets, restaurants, bars and beaches. We can't wait to go back!

Michail even stayed up past midnight to welcome us to the villa and show us around along with providing food and wine after a day of travel. He also helped me arrange a rental car which was very helpful. We also were delighted to have homemade moussaka delivered to us during our stay after we hiked the gorge. It was excellent and exactly what was needed after a long day. This was no problem for us, but the place does sit atop a steep hill and guests averse to walking should take this into consideration if they do not have a vehicle.

We were met by Effie on arrival who showed us around. We had wine and fruits left for us on arrival which was a nice tough! The villa is exactly as advertised, with gorgeous views over the mountains and sea. It is on top of a rather steep hill so we would recommend getting a car to get around as it is quite the walk but only took around 15 minutes to get to the Main Street. Lovely food places available but also a very well equipped kitchen to make your own meals. Cannot recommend this place enough and we hope to come back soon!

Photos id not give justice, the villa is fab, great views, good facilities esp the jacuzzi. The pool outdoor is still cold to swim in April, though kids did not mind. Hats off to superb hospitality and service. Thanks to Efiie (checking on us what we needed, changed towels, cleaned the place and the pools). We asked if we are allowed to do bbq outdoor , and the owner did not just answered our query but personally delivered a box of charcoal for our bbq. The location is good- local beach, fishmonger (highly recommended it). You will need a car if you want to visit Chania old town, shop in supermarket, best beaches, etc.

A wonderful view over the bay from the balcony was enhanced by the view on the moon rising above Chania.Everything is clean, Effi does a fantastic job, and the pool was very welcoming in the hot weather we had.No doubt about it a car is useful for this villa but the bus stop is a ten minute walk downhill so easy enough, although a bit of a climb on…

All in all a great holiday!

Beautiful clean and well-equipped villa with a lovely pool and gorgeous views! Hoist and Effie (housekeeper) were both very helpful. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk to the seafront, shops and restaurants, which is fine in the evening, but we found the steep hill quite arduous in the heat of the midday sun!!

Beautiful clean and well-equipped villa with a lovely pool and gorgeous views! Hoist and Effie (housekeeper) were both very helpful. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk to the seafront, shops and restaurants, which is fine in the evening, but we found the steep hill quite arduous in the heat of the midday sun!! If you don't hire a car I'd recommend getting a taxi to the supermarket to get your supplies for the duration of your holiday.There's a company called the Little Fun Train which offers very reasonably priced excursions. You book online and it picks up close to the bottom of the hill.All of the restaurants we tried nearby were good - our favourite for a traditional Greek menu was Kosmas Taverna. There is also a fantastic bakery selling filled baguettes and pastries called Tres Jolie.

This villa is an excellent choice for a family stay

10 / 10

Effie was fantastic and helped us throughout our entire stay with everything we needed. The place was clean, enjoyable, and in a great walkable location. The steep hill is worth it, as it offers beautiful views overlooking the beach, Chania, and the mountains. We will definitely be returning next year again.
