In the living room, you can find a satellite TV plasma and DVD player, and a stereo CD player. Next to the living room, there is a kitchen that contains all modern comforts as a dishwasher, fridge, and freezer as well as an electric cooker with ceramic hob and microwave. There, you can also find the dinner table with chairs for 8 people and in the corner, there is a fireplace, for the cold winter days. Panoramic views of the landscape of the "High Mountains" to the blue sea can be enjoyed from the dining table as well as from the sofa group. In the first bedroom, there are 2 single beds and en suite bathrooms with a hydro-massage bath. The bedroom has a TV with a DVD player and a private balcony. The other bedroom has a double bed, en suite a hydro massage bath, TV, DVD player, and also the possibility to enjoy private moments on the balcony. Next to the staircase, there is a guest toilet.

Villa Iris is located in the village of Tavronitis and it is 30 km west of Chania. Tourism interest is pretty low and the village retains an authentic ambiance with very friendly shopkeepers, delighted to have the opportunity to practice their English, to have the chance to hear about other people's lifestyles or tell about their own. In the village of Tavronitis, you will find a couple of convenient mini-markets, there's a butcher bakery, and a patisserie. If you go down by the sea there are 3-4 taverns along the pebbly shore line which stretches almost 10 km around the bay to Kolymbari, known for its harbor-side fish taverns.

#### Fabulous villa for the family

Really lovely villa which was clean and had plenty of space for a family. Manolis was a grat manager and helped us whenever needed. We also had some fruit and other food on our arrival which was really helpful after our flight. The villa is on a hillside so a car is necessary but once we figured out how the villages were placed and what amenities were where it was easy to navigate around. Definitely recommend.

#### A magical stay in Crete

Upon renting Villa Iris, I kept thinking that this property could not possibly be as beautiful as the pictures suggest. I was very wrong — it is even more gorgeous and well-kept. Everything about our stay was magical. The manager was kind, patient and very responsive. The views — to die for! Bedrooms were comfortable and the house was very clean. The garden was filled with many fragrant flowers in bloom which attracted hundreds of butterflies. Our family of 4 adults and 4 children had a wonderful time. We can’t wait to return! Thank you so much for renting Villa Iris to us!
