    Άριστη επικοινωνία και συνεχής προθυμία από τους οικοδεσπότες για να βοηθήσουν όπου θέλουν. Πολύ καλή θέα και πολύ απολαυστική πισίνα. Σε όποιον θέλει να κάνει πιο απομονωμένες διακοπές στα Χανιά, αυτή είναι η τέλεια βίλα!

Company information

Hi, I am Mary and with my husband Giannis, we own this family villa. I was born and grew up at this beautiful village and it is a really pleasure for us to have this home which we can offer for your holidays. We take care of our guests personally and we just love making things for you. We have three children, Manos and Stelios are our 'assistants' at the villa, and little Athina-Maria she is just 8yrs. In fact the name of the villa came from her name -'Athinais'. We love travelling and learn from our experience, trying to offer our guests the best accommodation and enjoyable time with us.
