This is a new modern apartment & I liked the cleanliness & decor of the suite. It felt calming and relaxing. Plenty of car parking space next to the apartment. I liked the great walk-in shower with a hairdryer provided. There was a flat screen TV for double bed area & another for the single bed area. It was good to find a welcome bottle of water in the fridge & shower gel & shampoo in the bathroom. Towels provided. We were welcomed by a lovely lady who gave us all the information. There was a good WiFi connection. The balcony was perfect for sitting to eat / drink & watching the world go by. The apartment is in a quiet location near a river with beautiful white ducks and geese, making themselves known at times ! We stayed on the first floor with steps leading up to the apartment. It is close to all amenities with a lovely taverna next to the river. Plenty of shops & cafenions to choose from. The local people were very friendly & helpful. We stayed one night as we had to collect a delivery near this village. I would have really liked to have stayed for more nights. It is an ideal spot for driving to nearby towns Vamos, Georgiopoli & close to Chania. I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay & hope to return soon.

Spotlessly clean, great kitchen with all of the things to cook a nice meal. Good coffee filter machine, also greek pot for making traditional Greek coffee. Very spacious ground floor two bedroom with a big good quality sofa bed in the living/dining room. Smart tv for YouTube and Netflix etc. Amazing swimming pool with lovely spacious surrounding garden. Large covered patio for eating al fresco.

An unforgettable stay. A huge thanks to Joan and it John for thier incredible hospitality. Location 10/10 😄 Remote, but not. Close enough local towns, restaurants, local shops, beach etc. Plaka is just down the road 5-10min walk or a couple mins by car. Almidira is an extra 5min. AH is surrounded by wonderful plant life, smells, views, it really is a great location. Things to do 10/10 😄 There's plenty. Joan will give you some ideas. You can also look on Google. My highlights which were within reasonable distance were Aptera, Imbros Gorge, Almidira and I popped into Plaka almost daily for lunch at Harokopos (just down the road). If you're feeling a chilled day or evening at the apartment, then rooftop offers amazing views. Breakfast 10/10 😄 All fresh, and a great way to start your day(s). Joan makes her own bread which is delicious, it all is. Apartment 10/10 😀 Perfect size for couples, small family or solo. I was solo and the place was perfect. Hot shower, comfy bed, AC, plenty of storage, kettle, area to hang clothes, well decorated, very peaceful and private. If you hire a car, which I recommend, then you can park just outside your apartment. No issues with safety. Hosts 11/10 🤗 Wonderful and genuine. Alpha House is a wonderful place to stay in Chania. There are however only 2 apartments available, both just as nice as each other, just don't spend too long over thinking it. If you're dates are available, just book, however ** Important ** if you're dates are showing as 'not available', please contact Joan, as the site sometimes shows dates not available when they actually are! Enjoy your Crete! PS: Definitely hire a car. Nothing fancy needed!
