Explore Chania with Ease

From Daratsos, it’s a quick drive or bus ride to Chania Old Town, where Venetian harbors, narrow alleyways, and bustling markets create an unforgettable cultural experience. Spend your mornings wandering through historic streets, and your afternoons relaxing on the nearby beaches—your villa in Daratsos makes it all effortless.

Lovely house!

A wonderful place, we really liked the villa. It’s a bit off the main area, so it’s very peaceful. I recommend having a car, as walking uphill could get tiring.

We’d definitely come back!

We had an amazing stay at this villa! We were a group of 7 friends and found the space incredibly spacious, with plenty of entertainment areas to relax and enjoy ourselves both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor area, especially the pool, was a highlight—beautifully maintained and perfect for lounging. The hosts even arranged for the pool to be cleaned mid-way through our stay, which was a great touch. There was a mid-week cleaning offered, which we didn’t end up needing, but it was great to have the option. They still came by to drop off fresh towels, which we really appreciated. The host was super responsive and accommodating throughout our stay, and we were even offered a late checkout, which made our departure day so much more relaxed. The area was great especially with a car, we got to visit many amazing beaches all within an hour! All in all, a fantastic experience

Fantastic Stay!

We had a fantastic stay at Ariadne Villa! The villa is beautiful, with lovely gardens surrounding, including a gorgeous bbq area, along with a pool with sea views. The house has been finished to a high standard, there wasn’t anything that hadn’t been thought of and the bedrooms are nicely spread out over three floors. The location was good - a taverna and small supermarket down the road, then a short 5 min drive to larger supermarkets and local beaches - a few different coves with beach bars and toilets. We favoured the left beach due to the lovely endless shallow waters for the children. However the beaches are never ending, so plenty to chose from. Chania Old town is gorgeous!! And only €13 for a taxi. We also visited Lake Kournas, and the Samaria Gorge - both worth visit. Stelios the owner couldn’t have been more attentive, welcoming and helpful, and always quick to respond - thank you so much Steios! We would love to stay again.

Super Villa, Fabulous location

Gorgeous, modern, well-appointed villa within beautiful, lush gardens which featured a number of areas for lounging, dining and relaxing. Amenities were 5 star. Kitchen, living, and dining space were all perfect and the bedrooms decorated to a high standard with plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. Would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking to explore Crete and the lovely Venetian harbour town of Chania which was 15 mins away by car, reliable taxis firms available too. It was nice to just spend time relaxing around the villa, enjoying the BBQ and outdoor facilities or just staying local trying out the beach tavernas and restaurants of Daratso. Can’t wait to visit again.

Amazing villa!

Our family spent two wonderful weeks at Villa Ariadne. The house was even better than pictured in the site. We were totally amazed! The owner made us feel very welcome when we arrived and asked us to contact him in case of any problems. There was no reason to contact him since there was absolutely nothing to complain about during our stay. The cleaning of the interior and outside areas were done properly and the pool was taken care of. I can recommend Villa Ariadne to anyone who wants to spend nights in this amazing house in a peaceful villa but still close to Chania.

The villa was simply amazing!

We were a group of 8 people + 1 child and it was even better and more beautiful than we expected from the pictures! All descriptions about the house were accurate and the location was also good! Calm surroundings but still close to the beaches, supermarkets etc. The house has the most beautiful sea view, it is a 15 minutes drive to Chania town and 30 minutes to Chania Airport! Also the owners were so nice and welcoming! I would come back any time and perfectly recommend this beautiful villa for a holiday! We did not want to leave!

Strongly Recommended!!!

My Family and me (5 people) spent one wonderful week in the brand new villa «Ariadne» in Daratsos (just build in 2017, hence not possible to see it on google maps yet !). It’s located a few minutes from beaches and many options for diner along the sea or in the villages in the west of Chania. The villa is totally new, therefore very modern, very well air-conditioned, nicely decorated, with a nice view over the sea, and ideal for up to 8 people. A large and nice infinite swimming pool in a pretty garden, a barbecue ready to use, a private parking, full cleaning twice a week, … everything is pure luxury. You can enjoy a PlayStation 4, a tennis table, a modern fitness machine, a treadmill and TV in very room (once again everything is brand new). On top of this, the owner is a very nice person, always eager to help whatever the issue and whenever the time. I strongly recommend this villa if you want to spend a calm, wonderful and luxurious holiday time, just a few minutes from nice sandy beaches.
