First off thank you Vangelis for being a great host! My husband and I along with my mom stayed at this property and it was great! The pool and the property were lovely, the pictures don’t do it justice. This home was very well equipped and the grounds were amazing, we were surrounded by olive, orange lemon, fig and pomegranate trees.it was truly beautiful.

Beautiful property let down by the road noise
The villa has been renovated beautifully and the garden / outside pool area and outside seating are just as lovely as the pictures suggest, as is the view. Vangelis, who manages the property was there to greet us and was very helpful during our time at the villa. The big disappointment to us was the loud constant road noise which we found intolerably intrusive, especially in the evenings, and led us to leave the villa early and find alternative accommodation. The owners clearly know that the road noise is a problem, however choose not to disclose this on the VRBO listing. It is described in reviews on other letting websites, which we wish we had seen before booking.

We respect and appreciate any opinion or review and welcome it.
We would like to mention, that presenting the road proximity and the noise of it as a "problem" is something not in accordance with the dozens of highly satisfied guests that we have had all these years. There are even measures in place like glass barriers and high plantation which have a positive effect.
The location of the villa is publicly presented as well as all the reviews in any platform, regarding the villa, are publicly available information. Whenever some previous potential guests had any concern about noise, some of them within VRBO, we have only shared the truth, i.e. if you are looking for absolute silence then this is not the place for you. We can easily prove any of the above.
Even in VRBO we have 4 out of 5 reviews from satisfied guests who did not care a bit for the road proximity. The noise produced is in acceptable levels for the vast majority of our guests (more than 98%), some even saying that do not even pay attention to it at all, or that they are very fast used to it and that they enjoy the ease of transfer it offers.
If anyone has a particular concern about a parameter that might affect their stay (e.g. enjoy absolute silence, privacy in exterior spaces, pool temperature, etc.), we believe they should ask for more information about it, in case they cannot find the answer by the available information (e.g. photos, description). We are in this business enough years and have welcomed hundreds of guests in our villa and our suites in Chania, so we are in a position to know that this is the case.
Considering this unpleasant experience for all of us, we have referenced the road proximity in our villa description in VRBO, although no such field is available in order to present this type of information.
We put our best effort to offer a high-class villa to our guests as well as a pleasant experience for their vacation; such experiences can only motivate us to try even more.
The villa was every bit as nice as the beautiful photos on the website and Vangelis was great at speedy responses to any little query. His recommendations of places to visit were all excellent.
Fantastic house in a great location. We would highly recommend.

Phantastisches Anwesen in toller Lage
Das Ferienhaus steht in einem Olivenhain und ist nagelneu renoviert (innen wie außen). Die Ausstattung an Möbeln, Textilien und Geräten lässt keine Wünsche offen, schon garnicht dank "Zimmerservice", der alle 3-4 Tage durchgeführt wird.
Die Küche, der Grill, gemauerter Ofen, WLAN, Pool, Sonnenliegen, atmosphärische indirekte Beleuchtung, überdachter Carport, Terasse mit Weinbewuchs und geschmackvolle Einrichtung laden zum Verweilen und Entspannen im Haus ein.
Generell liegt das Haus (nahe Chania) sehr gut, um Westkreta zu entdecken. In den Nachbarorten sind alle Geschäfte, Tavernen, Metzger etc. die man benötigt, um sich selbst zu versorgen.
