Villa Giannis

The photos do not do it justice the villa is perfect, everything you need with so many choices of where to sit to enjoy the spectacular views. The pool is in the lovely grass area refreshing and clean the garden is full of pretty plants to make the property homely and welcoming thank you we will be back

Unfortunately when we arrived the villa was not clean and we had to spend money on cleaning equipment. Some towels were stained as was some bedding. No blinds for 48 hours in master bedroom but then were fixed. No hot water for 48 hours as boiler broke. Very limited equipment in the kitchen, we had to buy foil baking trays. Garden and pool and outdoor areas were great though. Loved the area sadly not the villa.

Lovely place, great setting, pool is fantastic and has been improved since the photos were taken. Would recommend a car. Only small issue was with the kitchen and bbq, needs some more basic equipment, tongs decent knives etc. Don’t let that put you off though, was brilliant.

Our party of eight loved villa Giannis. The pool and garden are excellent. There are also 3 patios to choose from for a bit of peace and quiet. The walk into Kalyves takes about 20 minutes (back is harder as it is uphill). We used the local cab firm when we had to carry shopping from the well stocked Synca supermarket. Crete taxivan (about 10 euros per trip). Villa Giannis and the neighbouring villa Dimitris are a little bit of paradise (even with five teens). Chania is about 30 mins by cab away and it is about the same distance from the airport. Agni travel who manage the villa are very efficient too.We had a few requests for special food for someone with allergies before we got here and they were brilliant. A big thanks to all. If we return to Crete, it will be here.

Villa Giannis was a great base and the town was perfect with everything you could need including a lovely beach with beachside restaurants and shops. The pool at the villa was amazing and whole villa was very well equipped and clean. The only things to bear in mind are that I wouldn't say that can walk from the town. although not very far, it is up a very steep hill and you really need a car. The pool is slightly different from the image here. it has a very shallow part now for small children but the main pool is still very large and good depth for adults or older children. Thank you!
