This outstanding villa is like 2 separate houses offering a unique benefit to big groups of travelers. It is a private and self catered house equipped with and providing all the necessary appliances and items to ensure a smooth and comfortable stay. The owner has done a great job decorating the house and all the furniture is of high quality.

Ground Floor
The entrance to the house is on the ground floor with just a couple of steps to get in the house. There are 2 bedrooms - a master and a twin-, one bathroom with shower, a fully equipped kitchen, a big dining area, a sitting room with beautiful sofas which can be used as extra beds upon request and a laundry room with a washing machine. Living room and kitchen have air-conditioning, satellite TV and access to wireless internet and bedrooms offer floor fans for cool air.

First Floor
An interior round staircase connects the ground floor to the first floor of this huge villa. There is also an exterior entrance, in case there is no need for a connection between the two floors.
A big open space with an additional sitting area, a kitchen and a dining area can be seen upon getting to this floor. There are also 2 bedrooms with double beds and a huge bathroom. The second bedroom is located over the kitchen while the sofas can be used as beds upon request! The common spaces have air conditioning while the bedrooms have efficient floor fans for cool air. Wireless internet and satellite TVs are also available on this floor. What really makes a difference on this floor, though, are certainly the glass displays of the owner's personal objects which add a "historic" and a more personal feeling to this place. The first glass display is filled with history as objects of the owner's childhood are exhibited. They are a part of Cretan history and provide interesting insight on how life used to be on the island at least half a century ago. The second glass display has the owner's favourite objects from her trips around the world.

Nearby the house there are many local useful facilities, like mini markets, nice restaurants, a pharmacy and everything that you are going to need during your stay. It is also very close to a big town with big supermarkets and other options for food. Chania is about 20 minutes away while the international airport CHQ is 15 minutes away.

Great villa for a great vacation
The Villa was perfectly located and fitted out for our family vacation. The owner and her family were very accommodating to our questions preparing for our trip, as well as accommodating our questions when we arrived. Great villa, great welcome and hospitality to ensure we had a wonderful vacation. Definitely recommend this villa.

Amazing villa just as described. If it’s peace and tranquillity you’re looking for then this is the ideal place to stay. We are a family of 3 couples and the villa provided space for all to enjoy it’s offering. Set over 2 floors each with lounge, dining and kitchen facilities plus bedrooms and bathrooms. Fully equipped for those who want to self cater. Outside provided plenty of space including swimming pool, barbecue area and dining area. This is a quiet location with local restaurants and mini markets close by. Chania is a 15-20 minute drive away. The villa was clean and well presented and the hosts were very helpful and attentive. Thanks Olga and Katerina. We would definitely book again Finally Olga you were right the sunsets from the first floor terrace were amazing.

Beautiful and friendly villa
The villa itself was lovely and had everything we needed. It was lovely to relax in and had beautiful views. The most welcoming hosts ever, Katerina and Olga were so helpful and anything you needed, they were happy to help with. They even booked our airport transfers for us. Could not fault them at all, so kind and generous. They were just a message away if you had any troubles. The neighbours were also really kind and gave us fresh eggs and cake some mornings. They also let us stay way past check out time as our flight was very late which was so generous of them and I just want to thank them for being such kind hosts. My only recommendation is that you hire a car as it’s about 30 minute drive to the city centre and in Crete, a car is definitely necessary!

The villa is quite large, two living areas and plenty of room for our group of six adults and two kids. The pool is great and kept in A1 condition. Three or four tavernas within a kilometer or so, two beaches reachable in minutes by car. Tersanas Beach is the best one, Stavros beach is also great but we were ripped off on the sun beads, 30 Euros for each set, normal price should be 15. We had an issue with the oven breaking down but the hosts fixed this within 24 hours replacing with a new one. Altogether a good villa, you definitely need a car and to be of reasonable fitness to manage the spiral staircase. Hosts were great.

Very responsive and helpful host, excellent pool! Basic villa, the “luxury” is found back in 1970 😂 both kitchens & bathrooms need urgent update. Host very helpful once concerns raised regarding open spiral staircase in centre of upper floor, wooden panelling supplied. Multiple levels of steps/stairs throughout/outside, a little stressful with young children. Resin floor downstairs a little unusual (same as my driveway) . The mezzanine level to sleep in is too hot, no privacy. Air conditioning would be valuable in the bedrooms. The booking stated that we could pay for pool heating, we did not request this, it appears we were charged extra for heating the pool. Single Balcony is from the first floor lounge, sits 2 people only. We used the buses locally and managed trips to Chania and Stavros beach. The beaches are described as nearby- but not walkable. Car hire is recommended. Wouldn’t recommend the villa for families with young children.

Fabulous villa
Just returned from a 2 weeks stay at what we called “The rock star villa. Family of 10. Great grandparents, grandparents, mum and dad and 4 littlest ones aged 2 to 7. On arrival we couldn’t believe our luck at the look of the villa from outside. We were met by a lovely family, the greeting could not have been nicer. The pools were so inviting the little ones stripped off to underwear to take a dip (10.30 in the evening) Going inside the villa was spotless and so spacious. Lovely quirky details like the spiral staircase (but separate exterior entrance for those less daring. The facilities were second to none with everything provided to start our stay. And what a stay it was. Very secluded and totally private yet only a short stroll across the road to the nearest bar/restaurant. There were several restaurants/bars within 20 mins walk and also 2 supermarkets which were well stocked. We had a few trips into Chania town (Approx 15 mins in taxi) and 2 trips to Stavros beach (Approx 30 min walk or 5 min taxi ride) The Ramblers pub 10 min walk away did excellent steaks and even a Sunday dinner. The main thing we preferred was staying within our villa enjoying much needed family time. With the ongoing Coronavirus crisis, other than a mask in the supermarket we could forget it all. Can I just make a mention of the super soft pillows - amazing. No one wanted to leave this amazing place but on leaving this lovely family even bought us presents - what a lovely gesture. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We would love to return and would highly recommend this villa.

Sauberes und schönes Haus mit guter Lage!
Wir sind mit 5 Personen hierher gereist und haben die Villa Elhrisos gemietet. Die Ankunft war leider unsererseits sehr spät, weshalb die Mutter der Vermieterin schon dort etwas länger auf uns warten musste. Sie gab uns dann auch die Schlüssel und hat uns kurz das Haus gezeigt. Dies lief reibungslos und wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen 🥰 Das Haus ist sehr sauber und total gemütlich. Da wir uns einen Wagen gemietet haben, kamen wir von dort aus überall gut hin, die Taverne Irene war direkt um die Ecke und dort konnte man super essen! Supermärkte sind auch in unmittelbarer Nähe. Das einzige, worüber man meckern KÖNNTE, war, dass die Fernseher leider nicht funktioniert haben und die Pumpe des Pools zwischendurch immer mal wieder aus war, mitten am Tag. Für Katzenliebhaber wie mich war es außerdem auch ein Traum, denn jeden Morgen wurde ich von Yiasou und Kali (selbst gegebene Namen 😁) begrüßt, die schon um unser Haus strichen. Als Abschied haben wir von der Mutter der Vermieterin noch sehr leckere Schokolade gebracht bekommen. Wir waren rundum zufrieden und hatten einen wirklich tollen Aufenthalt! Gerne wieder! 5 Sterne! ❤️

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour, la maison est bien équipée, spacieuse et les espaces extérieurs très agréables. Les propriétaires sont très gentils et réactifs si besoin. Juste l'annonce semble montrer qu'il n'y a pas de voisins, ce qui n'est pas le cas mais pas de vis à vis tout de même. De plus, la proximité de l'aéroport fait que nous entendons quelque fois les avions. Cordialement
