Villa Silvia by Andrian Villas

It is a quiet and private property in a small village and is within easy reach (by car) of other places. The host let us in and treated us to home made cheese pie and raki and also a cake. They gave information regarding the property and the area. The pool was clean and very handy as the weather was hot! The taverna in the village is very welcoming and serves traditional Cretan food.

Didn’t stay long enough

We really enjoyed our stay at the villa located in this quiet village. It was very hot in Crete during our stay, and as the villa is a bit higher up in the mountains than sea-level, temperatures were milder as well; 38°C actually felt good. The host wished us welcome with fresh cake, raki, local wine and olive oil and made us feel very welcome from the start to the end. They answered swiftly and even checked up with us how we where doing during the stay. The villa is well located for exploration of Chania and Rethymno. We loved Kalami beach ;-) The sound of sicades was distanced enough to be enjoyable and in the evenings sirisses and crickets song their calm tune. The church nearby sounds the hours and the half hours and was very charming.

Only minor issues: - Air Condition on master bedroom needs some care, but worked well enough even with high daytime outside temperature. - There should be more seating than two chairs available on the balcony, but we were aware of that from before we arrived. Rumors are that more seating are one the way... All in all not problematic enough to reduce the score anyhow!

We both adored Villa Silvia. It was immaculately clean and well-appointed. The location was superb for us - secluded, private, but not too far from local amenities. Our welcome was wonderful, greeted by the hosts in a very thoughtful way. Our host was also very quick to respond to our queries about the property as the week progressed. The pool was fantastic and the air-conditioning came in very handy.

the villa was in a quiet area but close enough to the town and beach
