“We stayed in Adriana Villa or two weeks in late July 2012. It was fantastic. Often the write-ups and pictures prove to be much better than the real-life experience. Not at Adriana Villa. It was beautifully clean, fully equipped and everything worked. We were met at the property by Otto (and first introduced to raki by him - beware, it's dangerous stuff!) - he cleans the pool twice a week and brings gifts, whilst his wife cleans the villa throughout twice a week too. The villa is plenty big enough - we were four adults and 3 kids and the area is lovely and peaceful at night. The bedrooms are all well proportioned and the terraces off the bedrooms are big too. The pool is great and kid friendly. You do need to hire a car though as the walk back to the villa from the beach is hot and steep. But cars are easily available for rent in Georgioupolis at around Euros 25 per day, so don't bother booking in advance. Otto will show you where the car hire companies are.The nearest beach is 3mins drive away, the sea is calm and shallow for a long while. Pleasure fishing from the quay is fun, but take your telescopic rod and reel with you as they are difficult to get and expensive to buy in Georgioupolis. And do try the Blue Boat Bar along the beach - fabulous food, drinks and service all day long. Summertime bar on the seafront has the best cocktails and the Poseiden Restaurant by far the best fresh fish. Final tip - take your smartphones or laptop if you need your internet fix: all the good bars have fast and free wi-fi access, and they'll give their customers the secure passwords to get access. We'll definitely come back. Cheaper villas are available, but Adriana Villa is worth the extra money. It's a bit of a secret gem...... ”

“We very much enjoyed our stay at Liana. The accommodation had been renovated well retaining the old character of the building. The living areas and bedrooms were very spacious and two bathrooms were a bonus. Lots of very nice outdoor areas with a large terrace with sunloungers and dining table on the top and nice paved areas around the pool with another outdoor table and sunloungers. The pool was a really good size and we spent a lot of time in it. The villa was well equipped and the owners are very committed to making sure you have a really good stay. Having a maid service twice a week was a bonus. The location is very good with supermakets (the local ones are best) and restaurants very close. The villa was also not far from beautiful sandy beaches. The local beach is stony but is a great place for a drink or dinner right by the sea. Thank you very much for a great stay.”

“We stayed in the Laina Villa from the 11th to the 22nd of June. The Villa was exactly what we expected. It's really big, comfortable, clean and in a not too crowded village. At the same time in few minutes by car you can reach Platanias, which is a really big village, full of discos, restaurants, shops and markets. The owners were really kind and friendly. For example they always brought us fresh fruits, like melon, watermelon and peaches. The swimming pool was clean. We didn't have any kind of problems! We really suggest you to choose this Villa for your holiday!”

“We had a wonderful week in Villa Gianna. The villa is situated in the hills above Vrisses, so it feels tucked away and secluded, but is in fact a very short drive from the beautiful beaches of Giorgopolis. The owner, Sifis, was very hospitable and greeted us with a basket of local produce (very useful all of it - e.g. olive oil, yoghurt, feta, delicious herbs, handmade olive oil soap...). <br><br> The villa has beautifully tended gardens and a lovely pool. There is a huge vegetable patch and we were encouraged to help ourselves to ripe produce (tomatoes, courgettes, etc). There is a wonderful stone built barbecue and pizza oven at the back of the villa. <br><br> The villa itself offered comfortable (but not luxurious) accommodation. It was spotlessly clean on arrival and a midweek maid service and linen change helped to keep it that way. There is one double room with an ensuite shower room and two twin rooms and a family bathroom on the upper floor. On the ground floor there is one double bedroom with it's own adjacent (but not ensuite) shower room. This shower room is also the only downstairs wc. <br><br> We were 2 families of 4, so 4 adults and 4 young children and it worked very well. The siblings shared the twin rooms and the adults were in the doubles.<br><br> Points to note: You will definitely need to hire a car if you are staying here and the steep hill leading to the villa is quite dramatic (definitely to be done in 1st gear!)<br><br> The pool is not gated, but it is visible from all points of the house and our children (ranging from 18months to 4 years old) soon understood the house rule of not going past the 'line' without a grown up, so it wasn't a problem, as long as we were vigilant. ”

“We enjoyed two nice weeks at Nektarios Villa this past June/July. We found the view from the villa to be spectacular towards the sea and over the nearby villages. The villa itself was very nice too. The pictures had maybe given an impression that the rooms were slightly bigger in size but since the rooms were mainly used just for sleeping it didn't really matter much. It was a good thing that all the rooms had their own air conditioning units which enabled us all to choose the temperature that suited every individual. We liked the chance to do our laundry at the villa since that saved a lot of time and effort for us. <br><br> The pool area was also very nice. There was plenty of space around the pool to spread out the sunbeds and enjoy the beautiful weather. However, it might have been nice to know beforehand that the whole pool was around 175cm deep which of course meant that at no part of the pool could you reach the bottom with your feet.<br><br> Unfortunately there were also some things that we found a bit disappointing. First of all almost as soon as we arrived we noticed that the BBQ area was practically unusable. <br><br> It would have also been nice to know which days the cleaning lady was coming and around what time. We could have taken that into account in our plans. Now it happened so that once she came just when we were in the middle of our lunch and another time just preparing to go out for dinner (i.e. using showers etc). Also the owner popped to the villa at almost any time of the day for different tasks. It would have been nice to have been informed about these visits as well beforehand. Once he came to cut the grass at eight pm while knowing that there was present a small baby, who usually goes to bed around that time. <br><br> From the information received prior to our vacation, we were in the belief that the beach and the nearest village were a bit closer than they were in reality. We would definitely recommend to have a car for the most of the time since the distance to”

“Vallia Villa was beautiful - we loved it. Five of us thoroughly relaxed there, by the pool, and the owners were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. It has all you could need in the villa, air con in the bedrooms, plenty of wardrobe space, lovely furnishings, barbecue etc etc. It was tucjed away and very private although you could hear the noise from the nearby main road, but it hardly bothered us. The only problem we had was that local taxis struggled to find it! We had a few taxi 'experiences'!. However, for a chilled out relaxing week in the sun with friends, we would definitely go there again. It was a short-ish walk to the coast where there were many restaurants, and a 15 minute drive into the town of Chania. And Chania Rentals are also a very efficient company - thank you!”

“This was one of your best holidays ever... A fantastic Villa with a fantastic view over the Soda bay. The villa looked completely new and clean. We arrived late at the Villa, and it was a great surprise to discover that the refrigerator was filled with all we needed for the breakfast next morning - Thanks :-). The area is also very fantastic - just between the two traditional villages, Vamos and Gavolochori. Also the car rental was very convenient and easily. ”

“The Anthos villa is located between Vamos and Gavalochori village and in very quiet and relaxing area. From the house, the view on the Almirida bay is beautiful. Thanks to the villa location, it is quite easy and fast to move to well known places such as Chania, the wonderful and typical village of Vamos and Almirida. The Anthos villa is recent and well maintained where all the necessary confort is provided for all the family. This is the ideal place to have relaxing vacations.”

“Really comfortable villa in a spectacular location. We were very well looked after by the owner, All essentials supplied for hitting the ground running in the kitchen, as well as Manos's own olive oil, wine, and raki- all delicious, thank you Manos. Try the local kafenion in the village- good food, very friendly, and very cheap. Best beach- go the extra mile and try Falasarna- you won't regret it. All the family had a great time, thanks Manos, and, thank you at Chania Rentals for the cheap car hire and making the booking so easy, we hope to be back.”
