Villa Pefki in Chania (Crete)

Villa Pefki sits on a hillside among tall pine trees, lemon trees, and flowering gardens. The property offers a seasonal outdoor swimming pool with a shallow end and a fence around it. Guests have access to free on-street parking and luggage storage, with the owner providing local tips and umbrellas for use during the stay.

The villa contains apartments such as the Two-Bedroom Apartment and the Split-Level Apartment, each with a private terrace, balcony, and outdoor seating. The property layout makes the presence of other guests barely noticeable, offering a private feel. Each unit includes a kitchenette with functional appliances and a private bathroom with quality towels and bed linen.

The shared swimming pool is larger than expected and surrounded by plenty of loungers and sun umbrellas. The grounds are meticulously landscaped with many flowers, fruit trees, and a shaded terrace that catches the breezy hilltop air. Guests have access to outdoor furniture and a sun terrace with views of the Venetian walls.

The property is located 2.5 km from the House-Museum of Eleftherios Venizelos and 9 km from Chania International Airport. Renting a car is recommended, as the highway and Chania Town center are a 10-15 minute drive. Taxis to the city are available for €15-20 and take about 15 minutes to reach the Old Venetian Harbour.

The owner offers a welcome with fresh lemon juice from the garden and a bottle of Cretan wine. The property is family-friendly, with a child-safe pool and enough space for children to play. Guests consistently rate the swimming pool, the host, and the location as the top features of the stay.
