Beautiful luxury villa with incredible views on the edge of a lovely village

By Paul H on 02-Aug-2021

Beautiful luxury villa with incredible views on the edge of a lovely village My family and I loved our stay here. It is located on the edge of a pretty village which has 2 tavernas, a couple of general stores and a small museum. The villa is modern and was so clean we thought we might have been the first visitors, but no, our host has been running it for years, she''s just meticulous. The rooms were well sized for our needs and each bedroom and living space has its own generous sized balcony. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are modern and well sized. All appliances work well and there is an extensive range of cooking and serving utensils in the kitchen. Check-in and out couldn''t have been simpler and the host responded quickly to all messages before and during our stay. The living areas are upstairs and the views from the living room balcony will live long in my memory; in the morning the position of the house at the top of a small hill provides views of olive groves in the valleys below leading up to the distant neighbouring villages with the white mountains in the distance. At sunset though is when this really comes alive as the panoramic views of dusk settling in are postcard perfect. The pool is a good size and extremely well kept. There is a little more land around the house than shows in the photos which is very much a part of the wider landscape. It is a 10 minute drive to the beach which is in a small town that has a wider range of tavernas and shops. There is a supermarket about 20 minutes away from the house which is well stocked with everything you would expect in any supermarket (including all the gluten free/ lactose free/ vegan bits that is not universally available in the med) but also with local produce. The house is a great base to get around the island as it is close the national road and you can be in two of the island''s three cities within an hour but is sufficiently remote to allow you to cut yourself off from the world if the mood takes you. We were a group aged from 2 (and a half) to 74 and we all found the house to be comfortable, convenient and enormously enjoyable. A real treat. 8/2/2021 at 8:21 AM

Would go back in a heartbeat!

By Steve and Family on 20-Aug-2021

Villa Ariadne is everything you would want for a family/friends holiday. It has everything you need, excellent wifi, brilliant pool - kept beautifully clean, as was the rest of the villa. Plenty of places to keep out of the August sun. We went as a family of 6 and cannot fault it. Penny, the host, was on hand if you needed anything - including locking ourselves out of the villa! - but very discreet. It is an easily do-able walk to the nearest village of Gavalachori where there are 2 small supermarkets and two very good tavernas plus a bakery selling the biggest pain au chocolate! Kalives is nearby for a larger supermarket plus a clinic for Covid tests should they still be needed. It is very peaceful and not surrounded by other properties, apart from Penny's and the views from the many balconies are all superb, especially at sunset. Only slightly further afield are very good tavernas in the surrounding villages of Vamos and Douliana. If you want a change from the beach or mountains try the excellent cookery course in Vamos for an afternoon - details are in the villa. The two larger towns of Chania and Rethimnon are both less than an hour away and well worth visiting. We had a wonderful holiday and will definitely be going back.
