Your Private Retreat by the beach, with Heated Pool, by ThinkVilla

The villa is absolutely perfect. There is everything one could wish for!! The beds are very comfortable, there are luxurious bath and pool/beach towels, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything one could need. And everything is new and modern. There is a modern barbecue which allowed us to cook delicious meals. The swimming pool with the jacuzzi is wonderful. Then there is the “play area” with a basketball court where the boys played a lot plus 3 mini golf courses where our family had fun one evening! The private beach is beautiful although note that it is not private in the sense that anyone can pass by or stay on the beach so it is always better not to leave anything on the sunbeds when you are not there. There is a comfortable outside dining area and 6 very comfortable sun loungers. Also included in the villa is the cleaning and the change of sheets and towels in the middle of the week (which we didn't know was included). The house is also very beautiful architecturally and is located in a position where you have a wonderful view of the whole bay and from there we could admire the most beautiful sunsets. In addition there are wooden benches in the garden from which at night you can enjoy the view of the infinite stars.. Sometimes the communication with the host was not easy because he didn't speak much English but THINK VILLA were outstanding in their service 24/7: whenever we needed anything we could contact them by phone or text and they helped us always also acting as an intermediary between us and the host. So we felt really looked after. A great service. The host then told us that we could also help ourselves to products from the garden which was a plus. Not to mention the welcome basket we found when we arrived and his kindness when we left. Truly an exceptional holiday that will remain in our hearts for quite a while 💜

unfortunately there is a big minus which is the location because it is close to the main road used by all means of transport to go from Chania to Retymno (a sort of mini highway) so you always hear the noise of cars, trucks, passing buses. Night and day. We slept with ear plugs so it didn't disturb our sleep but it can be annoying. During the day the beauty of the place is such that you get used to the noise at the end and you hardly hear it anymore. But it is a pity because the place and the house are so exceptionally beautiful and perfect that it is almost sad to mention it. But it's better to know so you go prepared for that.

Everything! Location, amazing views, design of the villa, food and drinks in the fridge on our arrival, basket with goodies, was really nice welcome. All house equipment on high level. Fantastic swimming pool, we enjoyed terrace with grill, basketball and almost private beach of course. Cleaning included! As a bonus, you can go to the garden and pick everything that grows. And really kind and caring hosts! Thank You once again! Location was good for us for exploring west side of Crete, two very nice tavernas just in the neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return! Finally thanks for the care to the team of ThinkVilla.

Nothing!
