The villa is equipped to a very high standard, a welcome pack was included, and extremely well cleaned and maintained. I'd give it 5 stars, but the third bedroom is more suitable for children than adults, which might not suit a large group of adults. The beach along that stretch of coast is mostly pebble, so a pair of old trainers or beach shoes works well. Apart from that, we would very highly recommend the villa. ##### Gordon W W. Stayed 21 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Eric S. 29 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Superb Building in a convenient but potentially busy region I'll start with the positives (of which there were many): The home is beautifully built and smartly finished/ furnished. It's one of 4 buildings in the small enclave - each with its own pool. 2 of the 4 (including the one that we stayed in) faces directly onto the beach. The two main bedrooms upstairs are separated by a hallway, so there's privacy. Each has its own deck with view. The master bedroom bed is comfortable. But we found the other beds are thin and too firm. The WiFi signal is quite robust. There is a television with some English content. George, who looks after the place (and lives in one of the other buildings), was always responsive and helpful. The place was meticulously clean, inside and out. There were guests at the other two buildings, who we saw and heard, from time to time - so if you're looking for total privacy, be aware of this. Perhaps more importantly, be aware that down the beach, in both directions, are resorts, so there is a lot of foot traffic in front and in the laneway. There is also a waterpark down the lane. It was closed as we were early in the season, but I imagine it would cause some noise is high season. The location is great, as you're only around a 35-minute drive to Chania, and 20 to Kissamos. Yet there are all necessary amenities in the small town(s) very close to you (restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, etc). And if you're there on a Friday, don't miss the nearby market! Overall, it was a great stay in a wonderful home! ##### Eric S. Stayed 6 nights in May 2023 ---
