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!

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.

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
