Istros Villas - with Pools, BBQ & Heated Spa Whirlpools, By ThinkVilla

Stunning view of the Souda Bay. Very private location. Great property. Overall a very positive experience. The only negative comments i would say relate too the remote roadway leading to the property which was single track and at places steep. Taxi drivers were not always keen to access the location. Also getting off the single track road onto the main highway was not for the faint hearted.

this is a great modern property with lots of unique features. the property has a great pool and a superb view over Suda bay. seeing the cruise ships come in and leave was a daily highlight. the faclities are very good with the ability to cook a home meal and do a BBQ very welcome. There is a Gusto pod coffee machine and a filter machine to cater for your coffee desires. There are a large number of supermarkets within driving distance. The AC was free and did the job. The TV id not have much variety but we connected a mobile phone via a HDMI can could download/ play anything we wanted over the very adequate internet service. There was a cleaning service mid week which was nice even if not entirely necessary. Very close to Chania airport so we weer there within about 15min after picking up the hire car we hired through the recommendation from the property (hire car is essential) The bus service into Chania runs about every 2h and the bus stop is on the T junction about 100y towards Chania. Buy the tickets from the stop in town opposite the supermarket where the bus arrives/ departs. Any other less positives which are relatively minor- the property is down a rather steep hill and there are no restaurants within easy walking distance. The pool was quite cold during our stay which was strange given the air temperature. If this is a regular feature suggest installing some sort of solar heating plant for the pool. Very pedantic comments are to sharpen the kitchen carving knives periodically as all these sorts of properties have blunt ones. overall great property with very easy communication and service. Very much recommended.

The villa was far better than we imagined. The pictures are very true to how the villa looks. View was breathtaking and the out door area of the villa was just perfect for relaxing while the children played in the pool. You definitely need a car however restaurants, supermarkets and beaches were a short drive away. We took a boat trip from marathi beach which was just beautiful. Mrs Effi was very responsive to any questions that we had and the villa was filled with essential food items and a bottle of wine when we arrived. We would highly recommend and hope to visit the stunning island of Crete again one day!

Das Haus war von der Lage und der Ausstattung perfekt. Leider war der Pool nicht zu benutzen da er sehr kalt war. Da wir in der Dunkelheit von einer Autovermietung ankamen, war die Wegbeschreibung unsinnig. Doch die Freundlichkeit eines Griechen half uns schließlich den abenteuerlichen Weg zu finden. Ende gut alles gut.😂

We hebben een fijn verblijf gehad in dit nette huisje dat op een mooie locatie staat. Het uitzicht over Souda bay vonden we heel mooi. Het huisje is keurig schoon en er was een fles wijn en een paar boodschappen voor ons neergezet. Communicatie met de verhuur was prettig en zorgvuldig. Het zwembad is bescheiden maar heel fijn. Midden in de week werd er nog een keer keurig schoongemaakt en linnen vervangen. We vonden de bedden goed en ‘s nachts was het rustig. Met de huurauto konden we gemakkelijk naar Chania- de oude venetiaanse haven -voor het gezellige winkelen en dineren. Samengevat: fijn en comfortabel verblijf en zeker aanbevolen.
