Villa Afrati Sea Views Pool AC

We love everything about this villa: it’s a perfect size, location and accommodation. Lovely garden and pool, plenty of helpful info and everyone is so nice and accommodating. We couldn’t get the coffee machine to work, may be worth checking if it needs descaling

We spent 12 nights at Villa Afrati having also stayed there last year and loved it. We really like the location, the property’s layout and the pool. It’s very handy for shops, the local cafe, fabulous local beaches and for exploring other parts of the island. Some increased screening between Afrati and Zara would be good to give more privacy. Also more glasses would be useful so that when the dishwasher is on there are enough for drinks in the meantime.

Absolutely loved this house with its comfortable bedrooms, super well maintained pool and gardens, and lovely view. It is well positioned close to Plaka and Almyrida, where there are good shops and tavernas, with more shops including a bigger Synka supermarket and very good butchers in Kalyves. Car hire worked well, as always, and Diane and Sylvia dealt with a couple of queries promptly. Housekeeping was immaculate and, although we never saw anyone come to clean the pool, it was always beautifully kept. There was one disappointment, however, and that was that, although the house was described as well screened from neighbouring properties, the mature conifer hedge between Villas Afrati and Zara had been cut down and replaced with a woven fence, which did not provide privacy (possibly affecting Zara more than Afrati) and removed any shade from the comfy seating area overlooking the pool. A new hedge has been planted but it is obviously going to be a while before it can provide the privacy and shelter that was there before. We fully accept that hedges get diseases and are not permanent but we would have appreciated being warned and think that additional parasols should be supplied by the comfortable seating and on the dining terrace above the pool, particularly as the parasols by the sun loungers are not that easy to move. Having said all of that, we loved the house and had a wonderful holiday there.

Villa Afrati & Freelance Villas once again hit all that we needed, thank you. Our second stay at this wonderful villa and it proved a very good decision to return. Very comfy, great space, great location and lovely views. The pool and outside space is also a big hit. We loved our 2 weeks here recently and next time it might have to be for 3 weeks !! Thanks once again and we highly recommend both Villa Afrati & Freelance Holidays. Yamas. Not a great deal really but there could be a bit more outdoor furniture. Maybe some more ice cube trays but we managed !! Can't think of anything else really so well done all.

Villa Afrati is perfectly located within easy reach of the coast to the East of Chania - we love this part of Crete as it offers something for families with children of all ages. Plaka, a short drive away (or 10 minute walk), is great for cafes and a couple of supermarkets, though Almerida and Kalyves offer a much wider choice. The villa is very comfortable with the pool conveniently located for easy access back to the villa for drinks etc.. We would definitely holiday at this property again in future. No comment - our stay was perfect.
