Das Haus ist wunderschön, mit allem ausgestattet, was Ferien angenehm macht und sehr sauber. Kefalas war für uns ein idealer Ausgangspunkt zum Erkunden der Insel rund um Chania und Rethymno. Es liegt ruhig und von den Terrassen hat man einen traumhaften Meerblick. Im Dorf gibt es einen kleinen Laden und zwei Tavernen. Nadya und Alexander sind sehr aufmerksame Gastgeber, die bis ins Detail unseren Aufenthalt vorbereitet haben. Den Pool konnten wir leider nicht nutzen, es war ein bisschen kühl und windig während unseres Urlaubs. Aber er ist sehr gepflegt und einladend.
