Welcome to Crete!
Valia Kokkinou purchased this villa in 2015

Quoted prices include all taxes and services, housekeeping, free Wi-Fi, A/C and welcome offer. There are no hidden costs. Rates are subject to change until the reservation is confirmed.
We arrived at the villa very late-around midnight. Sonia was there to give us a warm welcome, and better still, she'd even brought a delicious home-cooked meal for us to enjoy.
The villa was spotless and had everything we needed. The air conditioning was great too, although we weren't bothered by the heat as there was always a nice breeze, and plenty of shaded areas in the garden. Our children (aged 5 & 7) loved the pool, the garden and the sprinklers!
The views from the villa were amazing and we spent most evenings watching the sunsets.
Sonia was extremely helpful and even brought a delivery of fresh vegetables during our stay. She was attentive but respectful of our privacy too.
The villa is located close to beaches, mountains and beautiful towns. We really enjoyed exploring the area as well as just relaxing at home.
We were worried about insects but aside from the noise of cicadas (present throughout the island) we weren't affected by them at all.
We'd love to come back soon!
Positives - Fantatastic villa and gardens with great views. Great for a family or group. Owner was very welcoming and friendly and even provided us with a home made Moussaka and bottle of wine. Peaceful due to location.
Slight negatives - We found the beds to be very firm and not to our liking. The advertised taverna nearby was not open and local restaurants are a short drive. Internet was unavailable for 2 days much to our daughters horror !
Positives definitely outweighed the small negatives and would recommend the villa. Would also recommend Satnav for driving in Crete.
This was a great villa and we (my husband and I along with our 8.5 month old baby daughter) had a superb stay here. Valia from ThinkVilla was so helpful before our stay and Sonia, the owner of the villa was extremely welcoming! She made us the most delicious moussaka for the first night we were there. Yum yum! The garden is just outstanding and would be great for older kids as well. The villa itself was perfect although the only negative was the stocking of the kitchen. It could use a few more things added such as more knives, another chopping board, a scale and/or measuring cups and bigger mugs and also a bbq set for the bbq. It was stocked enough that you could cook but there was only one of each thing so we needed to do dishes in between.
Location was great - the view was outstanding and we were close enough to sightseeing opportunities. Some tips: We loved Rethymno more than Chania. The beach at the bottom of the road is ok but Bali was nicer. Well worth a visit if you like food is Agreco Farm near Adele. That was the highlight of our trip for us.
We would definitely stay here again and can see our daughter loving the garden even more as she gets older!
We have just returned from 2 glorious weeks in Chainteris Villa 111. Sonia made us feel so welcome and went well beyond the duties of a host. The tranquility of the villa is wonderful and you find yourself immersed in the wild life. Surrounded by some fantastic beaches that are served by lovely Cretan Tavernas, this is a very special place, and one that we would love to return to.
This villa was truly fabulous. It has an incredible view and feels really secluded, even though you have neighbours. The villa itself is really comfortable and the owners have thought of everything. The owners themselves were wonderful, meeting us from a flight at 1am! Sonia also baked us a delicious mousakka! She was so welcoming and couldn't do enough to accommodate us. We went with our 1 year old and the villa was really well equipped and felt like a home from home.
The location is remote, but we liked this, and with a car you can travel to the great beaches in the west of Crete.
I cannot recommend it enough - fabulous place, lovely people!
We stayed here in Late March. We were met as soon as we arrived (Midnight) by Sonja and her husband who made us feel very welcome and made themselves available for anything we needed. The villa is superbly equipped inside and the outside is a really great space with great vies and ample space. The furniture is extremely comfortable and great for lounging!
Sonja and her family were extremely dedicated to making our stay comfortable and kept the vill in an immaculate condition and we will most definitely return next year. Cant recommend this property enough so if you are looking for a villa in this area, stop looking and book now!
