Hippocampo Waterfront Villa

The Villa is in a lovely location with fantastic sunset views across the waterfront. It is spacious and maintained to a very high standard. The wonderful and attentive host Harra who from the moment we arrived made us feel very welcome - the welcome food and beverage provided was also a lovely addition.

Everything was perfect. For those yet to visit you will have a fantastic time.

We had a fantastic stay at Hippocampo Villa and would absolutely recommend it. The accommodation is beautiful. The villa is a converted former tannery in Chania’s historic Tabakaria district, which has been wonderfully renovated while retaining its character. Inside, everything is modern and it is fully equipped with everything you could need for a self-catering holiday, including high-end appliances throughout. The pool was amazing and we spent hours in it - our girls absolutely loved it. There is also a lovely sun deck with fantastic sea views and beautiful sunsets. Hara was a wonderful host. She met us personally when we arrived, was always available on WhatsApp if we had a question or needed anything, and came to say goodbye before we left. Maria also does a fantastic job of keeping the villa absolutely spotless. The location worked really well for us. It is an easy 20-minute walk into Chania Old Town and we took taxis to explore some of the more sheltered bays around 25-30 minutes away. We particularly recommend Marathi and Stavros (albeit check reviews for umbrella costs). We were fortunate to meet a local taxi driver, Kostas Katsoulakis, when we arrived. He helped us get around throughout our holiday, including trips to beaches and into Chania Town when our daughters were tired - he could not have been more charming, helpful or accommodating. We asked if he was happy for us to share his details: WhatsApp +30 697 373 3215. We would highly recommend him. A beautiful villa, wonderful host and a fantastic holiday. We will be back!

Location was great, close enough to walk into town, but in a quiet location. Host Hara was amazing, she gave great recommendations and was always available for questions. House was well built, new, clean, secure. Would definitely stay here again. We loved it!
