Kambia Vacation Rental villa: Kambia

We were looking for a lovely house for a LAZY week in the sun and Shanduca was perfect for that. This newly built villa is beautifully laid out and finished and is in a quiet, convenient spot next to just four other houses [mostly empty at the time] with great usunset views across Souda Bay and the White Mountains from upstairs. The description and photos are spot on. We used the two king wize en suite bedrooms upstairs [ with full width balconies] and the two younger children shared the smaller basement room with twin beds, which also had its own bathroom and double doors to the outside, and which was lovely and cool for them. We didn't walk into Plaka, but could have! The nearest mini supermarket in Plaka, had the best selection of fresh and other produce; very handy. Almyrida was perfect for times we wanted to go away form the lovely pool. The bay is very pretty,with WARM sea and safe but fun waves for the children. The resort is just big enough to have all you need - tavernas, little shops etc; but still quaint and fairly quiet. We enjoyed a number of meals out there. Thalimis, Makis and Psaros to name three. Prices were reasonable and the staff friendly and helpful. We can recommend the 'Dream Adventures' RIB boat trip with snorkelling - book on the seafront. Not for younger children who can't swim, probably, but we loved it [our children are 8, 12 and 13]. We met the couple who look after the property for the owners, who were lovely, and very quick to respond to a minor request we had. We flew to and from Heraklion, 2 hours away so not the closest airport but the journey was easy, and we could then visit Knossos on the way back, which was worthwhile doing. We would definitely stay at this villa again, and would recommend it thoroughly to anybody wanting a high standard of villa and pool for a lazy holiday in a beautiful spot with a delightful small beach resort within a few minutes drive. It's lovely!
