Synes godt om: Rengøring
A very quiet location, not much going on around.
The property is lovely. Rustic, not particularly modern - typically Greek. It was prime season, so I perhaps paid over the odds for the property - this is compared to better quality villas I have stayed in for less on previous occasions.
The property was in the middle of nowhere - the road beyond went nowhere else, so there was little traffic and little road noise. You could, however, hear the occasional roar of the jets arriving at the airport in Chania, across the bay. The only other notable sound was the bells around the sheep's necks, as they grazed in the field beside the villa and the typical sound of cicadas.
The pool was very good. The house was cool and comfortable. Kitchen had all that was needed. The kids used the free wifi, which kept them entertained, sometime too entertained!
There was only one local taverna open which was a 20 minute walk downhill and a little more puff to get back up the hill. This was of a high standard, despite its basic look. The local people were fantastic. Other tavernas were available if you wanted to drive a little further.
We had a little bit of a battle with ants coming into the kitchen, but this was manageable and not too much of an issue. The bigger issue was the wasps, who seemed to appear especially when we decided to dine outside. Annoying to say the least, but I believe this is because we were there in late August and it is generally not an issue earlier in the season.
A car was essential.
Overall, it was a relaxing break and the villa ticked most of the boxes for us.
