Everything is absolutely amazing. From the wonderful welcome of the staff to the location and the facilities. It’s located close enough to Chania that we regularly visited for dinner. But closer by there is some lovely taverns that are worth visiting. The house itself is in a very quiet neighbourhood, very peaceful. We appreciated all the service, the house was lacking nothing. Plenty of toiletries, garbage bags, laundry detergent and cooking supplies, we wanted for nothing. We stayed for a week and they cleaned the whole house and changed our sheets and towels which was much appreciated. We booked a boat trip through the staff and made use of all their tips regarding what to see and do in the area which was very helpful.
