Property was just as described but even better. Recently refreshed and updated and just gorgeous. Phenomenal outdoor spaces for fun. Every amenity you could ask for. Owner was hugely helpful and responsive and went out of his way to ensure we had the best trip. We won’t stay anywhere else if we can get back to Crete. The Villa is perfect for large groups and family. Stay here - you won’t regret it

I stayed with a group of friends for my 30th birthday and we all had an absolute fantastic time both at the villa and in Chania. The property and view is indescribable and at a very affordable price. The location was also excellent, with it only being a c. 25 minute drive into Chania old town (taxis very easy to book). The owner and holiday agents were also very attentive and helped us with anything we needed with a good list of recommendations during our stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to a friend.

We were a part of 5 adults, 3 children and 1 infant and stayed at Villa Golden Hill during the last two weeks of August 2017. On arrival, we were met by the owner's son, Kostantinos, who was an absolute gentleman and the perfect host during our stay, providing a full tour of the villa facilities and was in regular contact to answer any questions and make helpful suggestions about places to visit and dining options. We booked through etouri, the villa property management company and I can't thank Kostas and Sophia enough for the highly professional service they provided before and after we booked and also whilst we were there. The villa is in a secluded location in the hills above Souda Bay with simply fantastic views across the city of Chania and the akrotiri peninsula beyond and is perfectly positioned to enjoy the beautiful sunsets. The property is luxurious throughout with one living area on the ground floor with outside terrace overlooking the pool and another downstairs at basement level which also has a pool table and separate outside dining area with even its own outdoor traditional pizza oven. The villa is in a very secluded location, reached by winding but well-maintained mountain roads. The nearest village (Malaxa) does not have any facilities for tourists which means a car is essential (the drive up to the villa from the road is quite steep so would recommend one with a bit of power!!). However, the nearest large supermarkets are only 15-20 minutes drive and are very well stocked. There is a local taverna which is a few minutes drive up the road from the villa which also does take-away. The are beautiful sandy beaches which can be reached in around 25-30 minutes. We would recommend Kalyves if travelling with children as it has great sand (perfect for building castles or more ambitious projects!) and shallow, crystal-clear water - sunbeds etc. are provided by the beach bars and normally free if buying drinks/food during the day. We also enjoyed the beaches at Stavros and Marathi. We also visited Falasarna beach which is about an hour drive but worth it as is a beautiful, long and wide sandy beach - though can get windy. Chania city is around 25 mins drive and we had no trouble finding somewhere to park. The old town behind the venetian harbour is lovely to wander round with some nice restaurants. I would not hesitate to recommend Villa Golden Hill to anyone looking for a luxurious experience in a beautiful, peaceful and secluded location.

Lovely owners who met us at the villa on arrival to give us a tour and were easily contactable if we had any problems. Kostas, the villa manager, was also on hand if we needed anything and provided directions and information before our holiday. The villa itself was amazing, was equipped with everything we wanted and located in a lovely spot with beautiful views over Chania and the bay. Our three children were kept well entertained with the swimming pool, pool table, table tennis and games room which meant we had the chance to relax ourselves and enjoy the views from the hot tub! The outdoor cooking areas were great and we especially enjoyed making home made pizza in the wood oven. If you're cooking at the villa, as we often did, it's worth venturing the extra couple of miles to the AB supermarket on the outskirts of Chania as we found it to be much better stocked than some of the larger supermarkets closer to the villa. If we return to Crete, we will definitely return to Villa Golden Hill :)
