Villa Aelia I Modern & Ideal villa for large group

Our hostess Stella was always quick to reply, whether we had a question about the villa or wanted help arranging a taxi or finding beaches and restaurants. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The pool area is lovely, and the beach is only 10/15 minutes away by taxi. We liked Cabana Mare too. We went on a quiet day and had a lovely, reasonably priced time there, though the parties are supposed to be great. For getting around and reaching supermarkets, hiring a car would make exploring easier, since the shops aren’t particularly close and taxis add up. We were 13 close friends, and the villa was stunning and spotless when we arrived. There were thoughtful touches like welcome snacks, and everything we needed, including a BBQ, a well-equipped kitchen with dishwasher, a washing machine, pool and bath towels, and little bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion. Our stay was perfect, and we can’t wait to return to Villa Aelia. Thank you Holiways!

No, no, no. This is also listed as ‘Villa Sofos’ on some travel sites. The place is tired, the pool was out of order for half our stay, and there was broken glass everywhere. The electrics failed too. Just no.

A great villa in Chania, about 15 minutes from the city center!

A spacious place in a nice location.
