About this villa rental
A beautifully restored village house, Villa Argiro is a mere 100 m from one of the excellent tavernas that border the shady square in delightful Plaka. High stone walls ensure privacy in the pool and surrounding gardens. The living space is exceptionally spacious, combining modern facilities with lovely stone arches spanning the ceiling. A lovely feature of this Villa is the first floor terrace with sea views between the neighbouring rooftops and gorgeous mountain views.
Location - Plaka
1 km uphill from the sandy sweep of pretty Almyrida, with its tavernas almost on the sand itself, the village of Plaka, has a mini market and some very good tavernas whose tables and chairs spill out onto the square, bringing it to life in the evenings. Villa Argiro is just a short walk distance from this square. For a change of beach scene, the small resort of Kalyves and Georgioupolis are within easy striking distance. Chania Venetian Harbour is 25 kms away and Rethymnon 40 kms.

The accommodation was perfect for our extended family. There was plenty of cutlery, plates, glasses mugs etc. Also plenty of Towels, plus plenty of Beach Towels.
The pool area was excellent with plenty of loungers and chairs.
The layout worked for us and it was very close to Plaka main square.
Would definitely overall, recommend this Villa.
One of the showers didn't have a catch to hold the shower head, but the cleaner explained that it had just been broken by the previous people. The owner who was very nice had brought a replacement to fit after we left.
This is not a complaint as it is down to us, but clever photography gave the impression that the pool was much bigger than it was.
The chimney on the BBQ wasn't very efficient.

Villa had everything we needed and was to a high standard.
Plaka had more to offer than we expected, loved the Tavernas and the Sports Bar. The Italian was an unexpected bonus!
Short walk or drive to Almyrida, 6 euros for a taxi back
Will absolutely be visiting again

Beautiful house with swimming pool, central in a lovely village. Plenty of choice for restaurants and bars and good local supermarkets. Great to have dish washer and washing machine pods provided. Cleaning service excellent. Easy parking. Wrap around outside area and upstairs veranda means you can find the sun or shade at any time of day. Our 2nd visit and we will return.
A hands free shower needs to be implemented

Spacious villa, great pool and outside areas. Nice village location with plenty of tavernas and supermarkets. Nice beaches down the hill but you really need a car to get back from the beach unless you're good at climbing!
The garden would be improved with underplanting or grass under the trees and shrubs as in the pictures. The bare soil was not very attractive
