first off - great and super friendly host. Maria caters for every need, very responsive and proactive. She was spoiling us with local treats, wine nad fruit. Location is great - very quiet despite the near-by road. Its a local one with couple of cars passing a day. The house is only 40 min away from Chania airport and about half an hour drive from Chania's supermarkets ( AB Supermarket is probably the best one - https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=pl&gl=pl&um=1&ie=UTF-8&fb=1&sa=X&ftid=0x149c7d59d29ee9ff:0x47f8deca73717ec ). Located amond olive oil and orange trees orchards. You can literally pick them up (and lemons!) while having a walk around the house. Pool is heated for those travelling outside of the main season (altho extra charges apply). House is comfy, spacious kitchen, super clean and very well equiped. Maria provides fresh bathroom and pool towles every couple of days, sunbeds are there to enjoy the sun. The main house accomodates a couple with two kids (as there is a bunk bed). there is a possibility to have more pople sleeping on a sofa in the kitchen. There is also a smaller house at the premises if the travelling bunch is bigger and needs privacy. it has a spectacular view on the hills as one of the walls is just glass door. Obviously the best thing about this booking was the grill area and the pool. Having seafood on grill with sunset was really a treat. I recommend the closest fish monger: Ο Βυθός (https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=pl&gl=pl&um=1&ie=UTF-8&fb=1&sa=X&ftid=0x149c7d5d13446c27:0xed1a6a1c2a79c5f5 ) - only about 25 minutes drive. Maria provided charcoals, utensils, lighters, wine glasses, grill equipment. there are local teverns nearby - the closest is around 5 minute drive serving local cuisine and very strong raki. Cool, friendly people. Nice beaches are also not too far away: Falassarna beach or Balos are more or less 40-50 min away depending on the traffic.

Beautiful house, amazing equipment. The house is surrounded by nature. Great swimming pool and grilling area. We were welcomed with food to prepare supper and next mornings breakfast.

It's hard to find, but in a good location really. Walk into village centre in 3 minutes. A good restaurant, a mini mart and coffee house in centre. Helen and George have made a perfect little house. Nice views and tastefully decorated. Comfortable and lots of seating areas outside or inside. Many nice touches and helpful hosts. Lovely. The neighbours noisy dogs were the only thing annoying. But it's still great.

Cozy house with character in a beautiful, natural surrounding. The terrace offers a stunning view into the lush green hills with olive, orange and lemon trees. The hosts are very kind and helpful, a pleasure to meet! The house offers everything you need for a self-catering holiday, including a well-equipped kitchen. If you’re looking for tranquility and peace - choose this place ♥️

Beautiful villa, very well equipped, spacious and exceptionally clean. We found the beds to be kings size and very comfortable. It is set in a small village and surrounded by orange trees so a very peaceful setting. We hired a car and enjoyed visiting beaches, Chania, local villages, the botanical gardens and some lovely restaurants. As other reviewers stated we occasionally heard the neighbours dogs but not very often and only for a few mins at a time (probably just barking as dogs do when someone came to their house), it did not disturb us and we never heard them at night. Our girls loved the private pool and we all greatly enjoyed our stay there and wouldn’t hesitate to return when we next visit Crete. George the host was very accommodating and provided lots of information about the local area.
