Villa Thalia is a beautiful property set in immaculate grounds. The outdoor kitchen area was a particular highlight of mine whilst my teenage son was impressed by the availability of mains power from the poolside umbrella stand! Inside, everything needed for a relaxing holiday is provided. The host was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had.

Nothing - it was all perfect. It was a 10 minute walk to shops and restaurants with the return being a reasonable incline, which I guess may not suit all - but nothing overly taxing.

Beautiful property located in the hills but could walk into town to restaurants and the shopping/beach hotel areas. The house had several outdoor living areas, everything one could possibly need was there, the kitchen very well stocked, even an outdoor pizza oven and bar-b-q, which we did not use. The pool area and garden made it difficult to leave the property, so serene with roosters and chickens calling nearby. 7 days was too short of a stay! The best part was how responsive the owner was, whenever we had questions, she even brought us delicious Cretan pastries one morning. Every night we were happy to come back after a long day of sightseeing. We were sad to leave.

We were glad to have a car as we did not care for the touristy shopping/hotel area which appeared to stretch for miles and miles along the beach in Stalos We mostly drove through the country side where we almost didn't see any other people, visiting old churches (mainly for their frescos as we travelled with an art historian), small taverns, olive trees, etc....Chania was also a big surprise, overcrowded with people, we could almost not see the harbor, it was so crowded. We were there at night though and need to go back for more exploring. Konossos Palace a must see plus the museum.

The villa was exceptional… excellent facilities, all requirements and needs have been considered - down to a first aid and sewing kits! You really feel that Thalia hosts your stay. the welcome pack was extensive, and baked goods were discretely delivered over the week. The communication and arranging access was first class, and the villa was immaculate on arrival. It was a fantastic location, felt like you were in the countryside - lemon trees, cockerels, and vineyards - looking onto the White Mountains. then only 10 minutes walk to many tavernas, supermarkets, the beach and car hire rental. Chania is only 10 minutes drive away so all very accessible

Nothing

The hosts literally didn’t leave a stone unturned. When you thought of something you may need or want, you’d then find it somewhere in the villa. For a group of 6 mates, it couldn’t have been any better, literally everything was perfect and that’s without the gifts the host brings every so often as a surprise.

Nothing.

The property was so well equipped and loved the fact that it had. Nespresso machine, milkshake maker, juice squeezer etc. The outside area was amazing. We loved the outside kitchen and used the dishwasher, pizza oven and outside fridge daily. The pool area was very clean and the gardens were stunning.

We liked everything!

The villa was lovely and the villa owner very hospitable and helpful - she responded very quickly when we needed advice. The villa was really well thought out, well equipped and comfortable with everything we needed for 6 adults. It was close enough to beach, shops and restaurants to walk but felt in the country.

There was only one key for the front gate and this was tricky when our adult children stayed out later than us.
