Fantastic hosts, were very accessible and helpful. Villa was perfect with a great pool set up and outdoor space. Watching the sunset from the first floor balcony was great. Would definitely return and recommend. Restaurants/ bar within walking distance or 2 minute drive away, Tersanas beach was 4 minutes drive away and has a really nice safe sandy beach with a beach bar and taverna.

We had an amazing time at the villa. Olga and Katerina are great hosts. Olga welcomed us with fresh peaches and a bottle of local wine which was delicious. The pool was super big and water was clean and warm. We loved the big table by the BBQ where we could relax in the evening. All the facilities in the villa were great and the location close to the famous Zorba beach, even better! Remote enough to feel you have complete privacy but near enough to supermarket s and Chania make this villa a winner. Thank you so much!

We had great communication from the moment we booked the holiday until we arrived at the villa which was very helpful and reassuring. We were made most welcome by the owners who were there in person to handover the keys and to explain what we needed to know about the property. The villa was immaculately clean and just as it had been described. The pool was a good size, though not too deep, and plenty of outdoor space by the pool and BBQ areas. The sea views from the upstairs balcony provided us with a view of some fantastic sunsets.
