Great villa in a lovely spot
We stayed for a week in late August and arrived just as a thunderstorm had passed. The villa was clean and well appointed and we lots of fun exploring the place and deciding where to sleep. The pictures of the villa were a good guide to the look and feel of the place. There were plenty of things in the villa to help with our stay, including plenty of crockery and a dishwasher. We were greeted well on arrival and shown around the villa to make sure we knew where everything was. The villa is in a private spot with great views. The teens and child were all able to find things to do and - as other have mentioned - the WiFi was well able to cope with a modern families needs. The villa was well place to explore the whole Island, we went to a water park in Heraklion, but arrived into Chania. Rethymno was great for the beach (with the sea warm near the shore) with plenty of places to eat and get souvenirs. We walked into Perama a couple of times and found the town to be welcoming. There was nothing that we would comment on at all about the accommodation that we felt would prevent us from returning to the villa - in fact, we are considering when we can come back again. We do however have a few minor things that we felt are worth bearing in mind: 1. While the kitchen is well appointed and looked after there was a lot of stuff available that actually meant there was not a huge amount of storage for food (other than the fridge/freezer). We ended up using a wardrobe in one of the rooms to store some of our food, even for a week. This is obviously minor but if you plan to self cater as much as you can be prepared for this. 2. All of the bathrooms were functional, however they were not all quite as high spec as the rest of the villa. Again not something that would prevent us returning, but the owners might want to consider updating these soon to maintain the standard of the villa for the future. We're grateful to have been able to holiday and look forward to returning once we are able to.

Beautiful
From booking this property to checking out at end of holiday, we had contact and questions answered at all times. Our flight was delayed going to Crete so we didn’t arrive until hours later than expected, but we were kept informed on how to enter the villa etc. The owner (Eva) came to visit us the next morning to make sure everything was okay and to answer any questions we had. Eva is a lovely friendly lady and even made us a traditional Greek dish halfway through our stay, (which was so tasty😋). Everything you could possibly need is available in the villa, it is like home from home. In our party we had a full time wheelchair user & an elderly person, they both managed fine getting around the property. The villa is stunning inside and out, the pools & jacuzzi are clean and relaxing. You have choice of where you want to sit and can always be in the sun throughout the whole day if required. We had a few cats visit us at the villa, they were friendly and didn’t cause any bother. If you don’t want the cats to be around then I would advise you to not feed them. But overall this villa is amazing and you won’t be disappointed 😊. Thankyou Villa Chara for a wonderful two weeks!!

A gem in Crete
We really enjoyed our stay at the Villa Chara. We fell in love with some of the friendly neighborhood cats and hope you will too! They enjoyed some nourishment that we picked up at the little grocery market that's just up the road where the prices were very reasonable. The property is quiet and beautiful. Although we traveled all over the island during the week we were there, we could have easily just stayed at the villa and enjoyed all of the charms that it has to offer.

Delightful villa
Delightful villa very much geared to outdoor living with 3 great seating areas and pools. You need the sun though to enjoy these fully and in the 1st week of October we didn't get that. This naturally meant that we spent more time indoors than we would have liked and the interior felt a bit cramped with no space where we could all (6) sit and have a meal together for instance. The ever presence of several cats was also an irritation as we could not leave doors open especially as we had a 10-month old baby with us.

Incredible visit to Crete and stay in a modern, lovely home
Though this home is a few km from the beach, restaurants, shops, etc, it is an incredibly nice and peaceful oasis in the middle of a large olive grove and with a view of the mountains. The house is very modern with 2 pools and 1 jacuzzi pool. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable during our entire stay. The inside is wonderful but the outside areas are even better, with plenty of outside seating, tables, etc. The only thing we needed while there that the home doesn't have is a dryer for our washed clothes. But that is more of a suggestion than a complaint. We loved our stay in Crete and in this home!

An amazing villa for a family vacation
We stayed at the villa for a week and loved every second. The owner, Eva, is so kind and welcoming, it was really a pure plesure! Every problem we had (what do eat, lost the remote control) was answered with great care and attention. One afternoon Eva came with a beautiful cake for us! So the hospitality was perfect!!! The house is completely equipped and is very comfortable for a family with kids. There is no doubt that the OUTDOOR is the most important and useful part. Amazing sitting area, great pools (2!!) playground - we could spend all day at the villa and not feel the time passes. Thank you Eva for a wonderful stay!! Hope to see you soon

Outstanding in every way!
We arrived at the villa and were instantly impressed as it was even better than in the pictures. Eva came straight over to show us how to use everything and see if we needed anything....but everything had been thought of. Throughout our stay Eva and Dimitrios were on call for anything we might need....taxi numbers and even matches for the BBQ.....they couldn't have done more for us if they tried. We also had a very thorough mid week clean and all linens were changed. There were plenty of towels, including pool towels which was handy as it saved us taking our own. During our stay Eva cooked us a delicious Moussaka, such a kind and thoughtful host. We loved staying here so much that we are planning on returning next year and taking all of our family. Thank you so much for a fab holiday.....see you on our return!

Fantastic holiday base (even with teenagers!)
We have had a lovely time staying at Villa Chara. The impressive villa has everything you can think of and as others have said, if there is anything else you require Eva gets it straight away for you. We were most impressed by the outside living space, an area for every part of the day. The weather was mixed but seeing as though we visited in October half term it has been better than expected! Some days hot enough for sunbathing around the pool, the cloudier days spent exploring the local area and even taking a dip in the warm sea! Jumpers were only required for the cooler evenings. Only book this villa if you are comfortable driving abroad, both Panormos and Perama are a short drive away, however there is a local taxi service. The internet was good enough for three teenagers to all watch various things at the same time. Overall, we have all had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this villa for both exploring and relaxing. My only disappointment was that the advertised 'hot tub' was not heated at all and was the same temperature as the main pool and therefore a little too chilly to use at all at the end of October. Thank you to Eva, we have had a great time!

first of many holidays to Crete
This was our first time to Crete and we were a party of six for the first week and eight for the second. The villa was easy to find and a very short and easy drive from Panormo. The villa was very clean and the air conditioning was on and working well when we arrived. The interior of the villa looks bigger in the pictures, but as we spent very little time indoors this was not a problem. This villa excells in its outside space, there is plenty of room for everyone and you are spoilt for choice with seating areas. The outside space comes into its own at night with plenty of lighting around the pool and dining areas.There were six sunbeds and we asked Eva for two more for our friends arriving the second week and that was no trouble, they arrived the next day. Eva is also a superb cook and delighted us with a very very large homemade Moussaka, this was an extra we hadn't expected and I would like to thank her again. There are some excellent very reasonably priced restaurants in the village and a good supermarket, We would definitely return to Panormo and use Villa Chara.
