Maria's Serene Countryside Retreat by Chania

la cuisine - le barbecue - la relation propriétaire et les infos d'accès - le cake de bienvenue le site, la vue, la montagne mais la route d'accès est bien une fois qu'on est là haut, il ne faut pas avoir oublié le pain (aucune info avant) il faut s'habituer au coq, aux aboiements des chiens et aux odeurs des moutons, mais c'est tout le charme de la campagne et de la montagne crêtoise

une fenêtre bizarre dans une chambre non occultable! surtout quand les lumières de sécurité s'allument en pleine nuit suite à des coupures de courant la 2eme SdB est au RC ! literie très dure - il semble que la crête ne connaisse pas les sommiers douche rustique escalier sans véritable rampe (corde pour monter mais pour descendre?) plutôt un musée familial qu'une location de vacances

maison au calme et avec beaucoup de charme

une climatisation est vraiment souhaitable. certains personnes du groupe ont trouvé la literie trop ferme .

The location was stunning. You're surrounded by farms and even the odd goat bleat doesn't disturb the peace in the area. The trip up is slightly tricky but has a great view of Chania and Souda port, and we were given excellent directions to the villa. There is also a lovely taverna nearby where you can watch the sunset over the mountains while enjoying dinner. On arrival we were treated to homemade cake, biscuits and lemonade, and the fridge was stocked with water and coffee. All in all a real treat to stay here.

There are two street lights that shine into the bedrooms so if it's not too hot you can close the shutters but the fan was not enough for us to be able to do this.

Maria's retreat was the perfect countryside getaway. The views over the valley were wonderful - we had the garden to ourselves, only sharing it with the five village cats who liked to lounge there. The house was super well equipped with everything we could need, including little details that hosts often omit right down to spare hairbrushes. Maria was super attentive with everything we needed, but she lives off site to there's total privacy too.

The villa is very beautiful with its Mediterranean architecture. The backyard has a gorgeous view of the surrounding mountains. Maria was a very kind and good host. We were awaited upon arrival with pastitio, cookies and home-made lemonade. during the stay, Maria also brought us homemade moussaka. The villa has all the necessary amenities and is only 25 minutes from the beautiful old center of Chania. Staying at Maria's villa is a delight.
