We really enjoyed this lovely home. It was spacious , clean, modern and the view was beautiful! It was great to be in a home with beautiful furniture and interesting artwork. Alexis, the host, did a great job giving us information about things we could do and places we could go. He was concerned about our stay and made every effort to make it nice for us, including having some treats in the refrigerator for us. since we rented a car, having a parking place was great. We found this home very convenient and could go many places on the island easily. Having a washer/dryer and 2 drying racks made it easy to do our family’s laundry. it was spacious as well appointed. We recommend this home and hope to return one day. It was quite hot during our stay and the a/c worked great.

When we visit our family in Crete, we usually rent a home. I have decided that I prefer to stay in Daratsos because of its proximity to Chania (town and the Old Harbour) as well as Agia Marina. This home, Villa Anva, was probably the best one we have stayed in so far. It sits on a hill, and you have beautiful views to the sea. It is in a quiet neighborhood, but it is just a few minutes walk down the hill to excellent cafes, two major grocery stores and restaurants. We never walked to the beaches nearby, but it is a 2 minute drive. Our daughter and her boyfriend did walk to the Old Harbour in Chania, and it was about 3 miles each way. On the walk to the Old Harbour (when it was day light), they walked on a footpath instead of the street. On the way home, they took the road back. What made this home one of the best was our very gracious host, Alexis. He had the fridge stocked with some drinks and water as well as coffee, filters, and some snacks as well as something we could eat for breakfast the next day. There was also detergent for the washing machine. The AC works very well. There are 2 balconies with the beautiful views I have mentioned. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you could want to cook for your family. Because we were with family, we went out to eat most meals. The other thing I want to emphasize is that Alexis was very communicative from the very beginning to the very end of our rental process. We will definitely stay again at Villa Anva!
