Nice villa

We were one week in the villa in July. It's a very nice villa, with a beautyfull view over the Sauda bay. The kitchen is well equiped, and everything is nice and clean. It is as the pictures tell. The villa is situated on a mountainside, and the road to the villa from the mainroad is rather steep.Therefore you must be a little carefull. There are several restaurants and supermarkeds in a distance of 3-4 km. Nykterida restaurant is recommendable, and Chalkiadakis supermarked have everything you need. A car is needed. Dorthe Bendix

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
The villa was clean and nice overall, and the host was very kind and helpful. The whirlpool was a great feature, and we also enjoyed the pool. However, some of the listing information was inaccurate. The villa was difficult to find, is not close to much, and the beach is not within walking distance as we expected—you will need to drive. The TVs also need to be updated, as we were unable to connect to them during our stay. Parking was not ideal due to the steep downhill area and a tree located in the middle of the parking space, which made getting in and out more difficult. Overall, it was a nice property, but based on the location, amenities, and a few inconveniences, we did not feel it was worth the price per night.

Lovely stay!

We loved our stay here. he views alone made the trip, but the villa was really lovely. It was immaculately clean, spacious, plenty of storage and a lovely welcome pack on arrival. The pool offered welcome relief from the heat and the rest of the outside space was brilliant. I'm sure we will return!

Super relaxing stay

The villa is lovely, the views beautiful and environment peaceful & relaxing. There was plenty of space and everything we needed in the villa. There are local restaurants, shops etc a few mins drive and close to many other attractions, beaches and Chania. The hosts were helpful and responded quickly to any questions.

Peaceful Villa

Terrific villa for those looking for a quiet family stay. Absolutely spotless inside and out. Everything you need in terms of facilities and a private pool in which to cool off. Amazing views across Souda Bay and the mountains beyond. A car is an absolute must, but gives you access to Chania and the local beaches and attractions.

Disliked: Communication, location, listing accuracy
This is an ok villa - not luxury as described. The villa’s location, while having a lovely view, is not ideal for a family being half way down a deserted mountain with rubble patches either side. The villa smelt like it hadn’t been used for a while and was equipped at a very basic level. It’s described as luxury but is not. The pool is so small you can’t swim in it. The pictures make it look much bigger. I would not return. The location was not inspiring.
