We had a wonderful holiday relaxing in this lovely villa. Superb outside space with a large pool and sunbathing area. We made excellent use of the covered BBQ area. The views over Souda Bay were beautiful. Situated in a quiet location, a vehicle is a definite requirement. The walk to Plaka took about 30 min and whilst this was ok during the day, unlit roads made it difficult at night. The villa itself is spacious, the bedrooms other than the master are on the small side, but all have a balcony and it was lovely to sit and have a coffee on a morning. The weather was excellent. Local supermarkets have everything you need. I would recommend Almy Beach - free sun beds with mattresses and an excellent beach bar where we had long lazy lunches. Good choice of restaurants in Almyrides and would recommend CostAnita, Elia and Thyme and Don Nicholas Tratorria. Best restaurant in Plaka for us was Elpis and bar was Esmigia, where they serve excellent beer and free tapas. A visit to the old town of Chania is a must. The only down side to our stay were the showers. The pressure was so slow at times, resulting in the upstairs bathrooms having no water or it was intermittent. This is the only reason the villa has been marked as a 4 star as we all like a good shower to remove the sand and sun cream before going out at night. Communication with the owner was excellent.
