Villa-Jasmin

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Jasmin. The house is very spacious, with four bedrooms and plenty of room for a family or group. It felt incredibly homely from the moment we arrived, and the pool was a lovely size for both relaxing and swimming. The views from the front of the property are beautiful and add to the peaceful atmosphere. The location is excellent – perfectly placed for exploring Chania Town as well as the stunning beaches of western Crete. The hosts, Kerstin and Jannis, were exceptional: warm, friendly, and always available to help with recommendations and local tips. We were also touched by their generosity, including fresh fruit and eggs from their garden. The house is very well equipped. While some furnishings and household items show a little wear, everything was functional and comfortable. We particularly appreciated all the thoughtful extras that were provided, such as cleaning products, toilet roll, plasters, and other everyday essentials. Not having to buy these ourselves made a real difference and helped us settle in straight away. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend Villa Jasmin to anyone visiting the Chania area.

The only minor downside was that the Wi-Fi was quite slow, which could be challenging if you need to work during your stay. However, we understand this is fairly common across the island and it did not detract significantly from our overall experience.

Maison très propre, située au bout d’une impasse, au calme. Vue mer et montagne magnifique. Accueil des propriétaires très chaleureux, Kerstin nous a apporté des œufs frais, du raisin et des légumes de son jardin, un délice. Merci encore pour votre accueil.

Il peut être difficile de se doucher, l’eau ne coule pas toujours bien.

Die Anlage und die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und gepflegt, schöner Pool und es sehr ruhig dort. Man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Es gab für die Küche Spültabs, Mülltüten, Lappen, Wischtuch. Im Bad Duschbad, Shampoo, Seife und sogar ein Staubsauger war vorhanden. Perfekter Platz, wenn man Ruhe und Entspannung sucht. Die Zimmer sind schön groß und mit allem ausgestattet, was man so braucht. Mietauto von Vorteil. Das Parken direkt am Haus ist möglich und sehr praktisch. Die Vermieter sind sehr kompetent und hilfsbereit. Wir haben auch frisches Gemüse aus dem eigenen Garten bekommen. Vielen Dank

This is a lovely, slightly older, but well maintained villa. It is clean and properly looked after, with air conditioning in every room. It has four proper bedrooms, which might not be clear from the pictures. The top balcony has a stunning view, which is much wider and nicer than what is shown in the picture; we loved dining there. The pool is impeccable and there is even a brand new barbecue in the courtyard. The location is amazing for people who want to escape the crowds. The house is tucked away in a quiet village, yet a short drive away from grocery stores, beaches, and a children's playground. Most importantly of all, the hosts are nothing short of amazing. We checked in much later than anticipated without any problems. We felt welcome and cared for and even got the fresh produce from their garden. Trust me when I say that these people have your back. They will give you their time and their heart.

This property is a vacation property. If you are planning on working remotely, please note that you can rely on WiFi connection only downstairs, in the living room. But this is a common thing in the south of Europe. You are expected to come for rest and relaxation. If you want to work, think about booking your holiday elsewhere (e.g. New York :) or get yourself a SIM card with good coverage and unlimited data. The following piece of information has nothing to do with the property, but is very important. If you are planning to drive to the city of Chania, please note that finding parking in tourist season in the city center is problematic. You can choose to park away from the center and walk, or opt for a bus or taxi instead.
