Guest Reviews

“The villa is excellently positioned towards the Mediterranean sea tha opens up from the living room really nicely. The premises are nicely functioning for family needs and the same goes with the kitchen. The pool area is very nice for relaxation. All in all we had extremely nice week in Crete.”

“This villa exceeded our expectations - its is beautiful! Tucked in a quiet wee valley about 2km from Georgepolis, it is quite secluded, with amazing views and a lovely outlook of the bay. On top of this it has the most wonderful pool area where we spent a lot of time in and around. The garden is lovely and so are the beautiful cats which we fed while there. Hopefully mother cat and kitty are still doing well. A car is definitely required, the driveway requires caution to the unitiated. The facilities are excellent and you couldn't ask for anything more, The little township of Gerogepolis has everything you need to stock the larder, with wonderful people in the tavernas and shops. You must take the paddle boats up the river to see the turtles, they are fantastic and also introduce yourself to Christina the pelican! Thank you so much for the use of this wonderful villa. ”

“We had the most amazing week at Neriana Villa. The accomodation was very comfortable, with everything we needed to hand. The setting is very quiet and the gardens and pool are beautiful. Our two young daughters, (4 and 2), had a lovely time jumping in and out of the pool and running around the large gardens and orange trees. Neriana's host was very welcoming and helpful, and we were able to produce our first meal with the generous gifts of fresh fruit, vegetables and olive oil he had left us. We loved Crete and the Western coast in particular and will definately return one day.”

“We have just had our best ever family holiday at the old olive mill. First class accomodation, setting, welcome, everyone and everything was absolutely brilliant. Manousos and his family are absolute stars. We didn\'t make it out the week we were supposed to as our youngest was taken into hospital 5 hours before take off and the family and Vlahakis at Chania Rentals saved the holiday by moving the dates at very short notice at no extra cost. We will definately be coming back! As others have mentioned the hospitality of the family not to mention the Cretians generally was exceptional and UK \'holiday providers\' could learn a thing or two from them!”

“We are two families with small kids and stayed for a week in this beautiful villa. The surroundings are perfect for those who want to escape the touristy masses but want all the amenities to be within reach. The villa is very prettily furnished and has all you need, from dish-washer, iron, and other appliences to thread and needles and even safety plug protectors, therefore, it is very well prepaired for families with kids. The garden is just the right size with a nice bbq and pool. We have to give a special thanks to the owner Manos, who was a perfect host and ready to help us in any enquiry. In conclusion, a wonderful stay in a lovely villa, I recommend it with no reservations!”

“We had a wonderful time at Nicolas villa with our two children, 4 and 6 years old.”

“What a beautiful villa, arrived a bit late due to flight delay, but the villa was ready with the key in the door. It is in the most stunning position on the side of the hill overlooking the white mountains and the sea. The villa was immaculate, extremely clean and very high quality. very spacious and airy. Lots of balconies and seating areas around the villa. Pool was lovely and clean although the floor was a bit slippery in the childs section of the pool. The BBQ and bread oven were great for outdoor eating and lots of garden lighting made it perfect for eating later in the evening. Maria the owner was very helpful and directed us to lot of things to see, including the oldest olive tree in the world, which sends a branch to every olympics The villa was cleaned twice whilst we were there for just a week, and what a superb clean it was, All in all it was the most fantastic weeks holiday, gorgeous location, the best villa and superb weather, the only down side was we had to come home :-(”

“We (2 friends) stayed at Villa Stella for 10 days in May/June 2012 and were absolutely satisfied (I already knew Crete before). House was very spacious for the two of us, but would acomodate a max. of 6 persons without being too small. Older house (70ies style), but in perfect state and spotlessly clean (service and towels/linen change twice/week incl. in price!!) and w. extensive mature garden, even fruit trees to pick from. Large pool that allowed for real swimming! Fully equipped kitchen. 5-10 min. to beach on foot. Small supermarket for basic needs 2 min around corner, larger one 5 min bay car or 10 min by foot. Maleme is not a tourist resort, but provides several cafés in town als well as some nice tavernas on the beachfront (recommended: "To Kyma" [="The Wave"] and "Taverna Maleme", both can be reached by foot in about 10 min.; "Small Paradise" a little further away, by car). Perfectly situated if you want to explore the western part of the island: 20 min drive to Chania, 50 min. to Rethimno, about 2 hrs to Knossos/Herakion or to beautiful Elafonisi Beach. Also good for day trips to Falassarna beach or to Gramvousa Peninsula (interesting monasteries as well as a nice walk down to the sea where it is possible to have a swim) or even to Paleochora on the south coast. Chania, Rethimno and Elafonisi are not to be missed! When travelling w. teenagers one should consider that Maleme is not a tourist resort, so there are no activities such as water/fun parks, banana boat rides, water sports or the like, also no nightly entertainment. We also rented a car via Chania Rentals, and everything worked perfectly.”

“A superbly renovated and carefully maintained villa and grounds, spacious and cool, with a beautiful garden full of flowers, a very nice pool and an orange grove, in a very quiet place, however within walking distance of supermarket, shops and beach. The owner brought us home made cookies, flowers, wine and oil and the cleaning lady, Sofia, taught us how to cook moussaka and gave us fruit and oil. We felt at home, which is not often the case with a rented house.The 4 of us had plenty of space and privacy and we loved having our meals outside on the shaded terrace - we used the BBQ a lot. I have a mobility problem but with the downstair room and shower room it was perfect. The pool is also easily accessible. A perfect 15-day holiday and we just want to come back as soon as possible! ”

“Nous avons passé une semaine à 3 couples (la vingtaine chacun) dans cette villa. Depuis notre arrivée jusqu'à l'heure du départ nous n'avons rien eu à reprocher à cette villa. Super propre, beau jardin, piscine impeccable, barbecue super équipé. Tout le nécessaire et même plus était présent. Les photos ne mentent pas, villa au milieu des oliviers avec vue sur la mer. Juste un ou deux pylônes électriques, mais il faut bien ça pour alimenter le frigo dans lequel repose le rosé (frigo high tech d'ailleurs) ou éclairer la piscine la nuit. La personne en charge de nous accueillir était super chaleureuse (comme tous les crétois que nous avons rencontrés). On sait juste qu'il ne faut pas se servir des transat pour faire un filet de volley au milieu de la piscine, là on a eu droit à un coup de gueule.<br><br> En bref, on a passé des super vacances, la villa est situé dans une région de la Crète avec beaucoup d'activités et de visite. A quelques km de Platanias qui fait village de vacances pour touriste où on trouve toute l'activité diurne et nocturne nécessaire. A peine plus loin de Chania qui est une très jolie ville, sympa à faire à pied. Et pas trop loin (50km) du site de Gramvoussa, avec plage de rêve lagon magnifique, on se serait cru aux maldives.<br><br> Je pense que cette villa convient à tout type de public de part sa tranquillité, tous ses équipements et sa situation. Même s'il vaut mieux avoir un moyen de transport.”
