Nice place.
Very nice and convenient place. Quite noisy road next to the property. It is a group of 3 houses, and if you are.unlucky enough to have partying and noisy neighbors, your stay could be hell ( this is what happened to us but fortunately only the 3 last nights of our stay)

Prettige villa in rustige omgeving
We hebben erg genoten van ons verblijf en dan met name van de tuin, het zwembad en de terrassen van de villa. Er zijn buiten rondom veel fijne plekjes om te zitten of luieren, zon of schaduw. En overal heb je mooi uitzicht. Je hebt een auto nodig om naar de omliggende dorpen te gaan. In afstand is het niet ver, maar wij vonden het niet veilig genoeg om te fietsen of lopen (drukke wegen). Panormos aan de kust is een leuk gezellig dorp met een aantal goede restaurants. De slaapkamers zijn dik in orde; lekkere bedden, voldoende kastruimte en uitstekende airco. Het contact met de huiseigenaren was heel prettig; snel en effectief. Op aanvraag werd er schoongemaakt en dat was super! Naar verhouding vonden wij de keuken wat klein en er was geen plek om binnen met 8-en aan een tafel te zitten bijvoorbeeld om te eten (hoewel het een 8-persoons huis is). Wij houden van lekker kokkerellen op vakantie en dan was de keuken voor 2 gezinnen (met grote kinderen) echt aan de kleine kant.

Great villa in a lovely spot
We stayed for a week in late August and arrived just as a thunderstorm had passed. The villa was clean and well appointed and we lots of fun exploring the place and deciding where to sleep. The pictures of the villa were a good guide to the look and feel of the place. There were plenty of things in the villa to help with our stay, including plenty of crockery and a dishwasher. We were greeted well on arrival and shown around the villa to make sure we knew where everything was. The villa is in a private spot with great views. The teens and child were all able to find things to do and - as other have mentioned - the WiFi was well able to cope with a modern families needs. The villa was well place to explore the whole Island, we went to a water park in Heraklion, but arrived into Chania. Rethymno was great for the beach (with the sea warm near the shore) with plenty of places to eat and get souvenirs. We walked into Perama a couple of times and found the town to be welcoming. There was nothing that we would comment on at all about the accommodation that we felt would prevent us from returning to the villa - in fact, we are considering when we can come back again. We do however have a few minor things that we felt are worth bearing in mind: 1. While the kitchen is well appointed and looked after there was a lot of stuff available that actually meant there was not a huge amount of storage for food (other than the fridge/freezer). We ended up using a wardrobe in one of the rooms to store some of our food, even for a week. This is obviously minor but if you plan to self cater as much as you can be prepared for this. 2. All of the bathrooms were functional, however they were not all quite as high spec as the rest of the villa. Again not something that would prevent us returning, but the owners might want to consider updating these soon to maintain the standard of the villa for the future. We're grateful to have been able to holiday and look forward to returning once we are able to.

Beautiful
From booking this property to checking out at end of holiday, we had contact and questions answered at all times. Our flight was delayed going to Crete so we didn’t arrive until hours later than expected, but we were kept informed on how to enter the villa etc. The owner (Eva) came to visit us the next morning to make sure everything was okay and to answer any questions we had. Eva is a lovely friendly lady and even made us a traditional Greek dish halfway through our stay, (which was so tasty😋). Everything you could possibly need is available in the villa, it is like home from home. In our party we had a full time wheelchair user & an elderly person, they both managed fine getting around the property. The villa is stunning inside and out, the pools & jacuzzi are clean and relaxing. You have choice of where you want to sit and can always be in the sun throughout the whole day if required. We had a few cats visit us at the villa, they were friendly and didn’t cause any bother. If you don’t want the cats to be around then I would advise you to not feed them. But overall this villa is amazing and you won’t be disappointed 😊. Thankyou Villa Chara for a wonderful two weeks!!

A gem in Crete
We really enjoyed our stay at the Villa Chara. We fell in love with some of the friendly neighborhood cats and hope you will too! They enjoyed some nourishment that we picked up at the little grocery market that's just up the road where the prices were very reasonable. The property is quiet and beautiful. Although we traveled all over the island during the week we were there, we could have easily just stayed at the villa and enjoyed all of the charms that it has to offer.
