We had a wonderful stay at Azatis Villa. The outside space is amazing. The pool is big and very clean. The sun beds were very comfortable and the umbrellas provided much needed shade. There are a number of areas to sit and relax and the dinning table was large and easily accommodated 8 persons. We used the outdoor kitchen throughout our stay. The bathrooms were clean with great showers and an abundance of hot water. The beds are very comfortable.The ladies who cleaned the Villa did an excellent job.The pool towels were large and replaced 3 times. There is an excellent taverna in Daratsos, but we found we needed a vehicle to go to other restaurants and the beach. The only negative was the air conditioning, which couldn’t be controlled in individual bedrooms and wasn’t as cold as we would have liked. This wasn’t a problem most of the time but the bedrooms became quite warm when hairdryers were switched on. I would highly recommend this villa if you are looking to relax in a beautiful environment.
Anyone can see from the photos in the description that this in an amazingly spacious villa. What is not included is all the subtle little extras that make this place undeniably paradise. This is not a cheap choice, we saved long and hard for this and it was worth every penny - for 18 glorious days we felt like royalty.The welcome basket was overwhelming - homemade pastries, water, wine, honey, jams, cheese etc. The villa was absolutely immaculate. The gardens lined with olive, orange and other fruit trees as well as the grape vine extended way beyond where the photos suggest. Every bedroom has its own bathroom with fresh towels and toiletries replaced every 4 days. Each bedroom also has its own external door to a balcony or patio and it's own air conditioning, which was very effective. Every door in the villa is fitted with shutters, a glass door, a mosquito net and there are blinds and curtains in the bedrooms. This is a small thing but meant that whatever the time of day you have the light/view you wanted.The outside space meant we could cook (outside kitchen with fridge, sink, gas bbq), sit (outside lounge with very comfortable sofas in semi-shade) dine (12 seater table) swim (amazing infinity pool with sun loungers) and relax with a drink watching the sunrise/sunset. There was always a seating solution where you needed it.I was devastated to leave this place, a true testament to how much we enjoyed our holiday here. I do hope one day to return.

This is a stunning villa in Daratsos, just outside Chania. It wasn't easy to find a property near Chania that could accommodate a group our size while checking all the boxes, but this villa exceeded our expectations. We were a group of 10 and enjoyed a wonderful 9-night stay. The property is clearly a labor of love, with thoughtful details throughout.The location is also excellent. There is a bus stop just a few houses away, making it easy to reach Chania and other nearby destinations without a car. Several restaurants are within walking distance, and multiple beaches can be reached in about 20 minutes on foot.There is a wonderful local supermarket approximately a five-minute walk from the villa. Turn right as you exit the property, and you'll find it up the hill on the right. The owner and staff were warm, welcoming, and an excellent local resource throughout our stay. Although they aren't listed on Google, our host recommended them, and we're glad she did. They carry a great selection of groceries, snacks, paper products, ice cream, alcohol, and other essentials.We also highly recommend Liv Tours & Transfers Chania for transportation. They were recommended to us by the supermarket owner and were extremely reliable and responsive in helping our group of 10 get around the area.This villa is an exceptional destination, and we would not hesitate to recommend it to others.
