Great villa, very well equipped and lovely pool Be warned the road up is very tricky and a long walk to any shops/restaurants!

We stayed in this holiday home for a week. It is perfectly located at the end of the road which means that you have a lot of privacy, no traffic and an amazing view. The seat on the side offers a fantastic view over Chania. The reception was also well organized, the online contact with the landlords was very professional and all questions were always answered. The house itself is spacious, as are the bedrooms, and the pool is just the right size. It's not big, but you can definitely do something with it. The house could only use a lick of paint on the outside, but that's the only very small downside we can think of. A big fat recommendation.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Athene this July. All was great, the villa, the view, the pool. Very highly recommended!

We picked this villa because it looked lovely in the photos but when we were actually there it was more stunning than we could have imagined. The villa was clean and tidy and the views were breath takingly stunning. The bedrooms were simple but exceptionally clean and comfortable. My bedroom had a seating area outside which was very nice. I have to say that out of all the villas we have ever been to this one was the most well equipped one ever. All we needed to buy was the food. The owners left us a welcome pack of wine, Greek biscuits, olive oil toiletries and lots of information on what activities to do and sights to visit. The journey from the airport was straight forward until we got nearer to the villa where the roads began to become more narrow, windy and steep. It was a bit of a hairy drive to the villa but we did rent an old banger of a car unfortunately. The villa itself is very remote quite high up a mountain but it was so peaceful and quiet. The only small gripe would be the wifi was very poor but to be honest it only effected the teens and their daily Facebook intake! Also everyone had to take showers one at a time because it affected the temperature and pressure but we all managed it very well. We were very sad to leave. I would definitely like to rent this villa again, it really was lovely.
