Stratos Villas

Everything was really lovely. Exceptional.

Lack of extra pillows and a handy pair of scissors! Travelling with hand luggage only, we were not allowed scissors. That is the only thing that was lacking.

Lovely peaceful location, the villa has everything you need.

If air-conditioning was also downstairs it would be a lot more comfortable.

Detached. Clean.

Not that comfortable

Peace

Lighting in bedroom

Location, comfortable good size clean bed, good water pressure on shower, toilet upstairs and downstairs, air con upstairs, everything was clean, fresh towels most days, fresh bed linen 3 to 4 times in the fortnight we were there, pool, sunbeds and umbrellas were good, gardens were kept good, electric gate to property. Very quiet

No air con downstairs, so we bought a fan, which made it a lot better. We left it there for the owners or the next visitors to use. A microwave would have been good and a bigger freezer. A pair of kitchen scissors would have been good. Also I think the pool pump could have been on a lot more during the day. Unfortunately I have a problem with heights and the stairs were very steep in villa no 2, but I manged by coming down backwards holding onto the hand rail and the next stair up. An information book with where things were eg washing machine, bins outside and whether toilet roll was permitted down the toilet ( we guessed at that one and used the bin) etc. A visitors book for people to write in saying which tavernas were good or not, places they had visited and whether they were good or not etc and just so they could thank the owners for a lovely holiday like they do here in GB in the holiday cottages. We never found a jacuzzi or hot tub which was mentioned in facilities on bookings com, which wasn't a big deal but shouldn't say that there is one when there isn't really. All that said though we still had a good time and we would visit again.

Lovey location, superb views in all directions, good facilities, great pool, everything maintained well and kept very clean.

Minor points. Could have had cushions on the sofa, a dustpan and brush, and beach towels. A microwave would have been useful. Maybe shoot that nearby Cockerel.

We had perfect holiday in this wonderful accommodation surrounded by olive trees forest, 20-25 min. drive from Chania. The villa is located in the hills and you must have a car to reach it, but luckily there are many affordable rent a car opportunities on Crete. Excellent opportunity to explore the small villages in the area and all beautiful attractions of the Chania region and Rethymno.

Beautiful house in a very peaceful location, very well equipped

No options for eating /drinking within walking distance of the property. Nearest taverna/cafe approx 60 min walk

The villas was well equipped and comfortable. The views of the surrounding countryside were amazing. It was so quiet and peaceful with just the sound of the sheep and goats bells and a cockerel. The property was traditional, very clean, with a change of towels/bedlinen/bins midweek. The pool was tended to on a daily basis so it was leaf and bug free.

There wasn't much to criticise to be honest. We did not get to speak to the host which was a shame, but I could have asked to see them if I really wanted to. The paperwork in the villa was limited so we really had to explore the area for ourselves and it took me a few days to venture on foot up to the nearest village to find somewhere to walk or run without needing to use the car. As already mentioned in other reviews, the stairs inside the villa are steep but that was not an issue for us.
