+Tholos Cottage exceeded our expectations. Very well presented and extremely clean. Loads of sitting areas outside, which was great to chase either the sun or shade. The home worked very well with our group of 5 adults with the self contained studio room also.
−Very hard to find something we did not like about Tholos Cottage. We knew before booking we would hire a car, so being 20 minutes away from Chania did not worry us one bit. Without a car , this may be a challenge - although the village here is absolutely gorgeous and has the basics.

“Charming cottage, modern and authentic at the same time, with a lovely courtyard”
+I loved the atmosphere and aesthetics of this place! Everything was stylish and very well thought to make the place welcoming and practical. A lovely welcome basket with fresh fruit, snacks and wine was waiting for us. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything that we needed (towel, paper, oil, vinegar, salt etc). We had the big cottage which was very spacious, plus we had the exclusive use of the courtyard since the studio was empty. The courtyard was very pleasant in the evening with the smell of jasmine. The cottage remained quite cool despite the heat outside, even without using the air-conditioning.

+This is an incredivly well renovated cottage, with tick walls making it naturally cool during the hot days of summer. Spacious, with all necessary ameneties, offering no less than 3 terraces and one inner yard, fully equipped with air conditioning if you need the extra cooling. We travelled as 4 adults and one toddler and we found everything to be perfect. Nikos taverna is in walking distance. There are also supermarkets in the area, within 5 minutes drive or 15 minutes for more choices. We drove daily to one of the most beautiful beaches on the Chania area, Marathi.
−Everything was perfect

“Amazing authentic Cretan experience”
+The house looks amazing, it blends old with new perfectly. Two bedrooms are separated so you have a lot of privacy, the kitchen is also separate. There are 4 gardens so there always is a spot with sun or shade outside. There are fruits growing in the garden like grapes and pomegranate. Having a washing machine was very helpful and we even received beach towels for free. The host is amazing!

“Lovely cottage close to Chania, Monasteries road and some nice beaches”
+Tholos Cottage is an old village house that has been recently refurbished and decorated with elegance. All equipments are brand new and you will find all what you need. Good to know : The beds are exceptionally good ! Anna is a wonderful host, so nice and discrete at the same time.
−The village is globally quiet. Just note that there is the school a few streets away. The airport is 10min drive so there is usually one or 2 hours a day (late evening) when you hear the planes but that’s ok. These points are not damaging your experience.
