“Situated on a quiet road just outside Tavronitis, this well equipped, secure, modern villa benefits from its wonderful views, elevated position and swimming pool. There is a wonderful roof terrace with seating, which is perfect for late night stargazing, with a glass of wine! It has views of the mountains and sea and there is only one neighbouring property in front, owned by a quiet family. Otherwise, it is surrounded by olive groves.<br><br>The kitchen is really well equipped and you can dine inside or out, in comfort. The cleaner comes twice a week and the villa is left looking immaculate. <br><br>We have been greeted with a welcome basket on both our visits, which is a much appreciated touch. This was our second visit to the villa and the owner, Despina, has been extremely friendly and helpful when we have visited. She has perfect English. <br><br>Around the pool there are a number of comfortable sun-loungers. The main bedroom overlooking the pool has sea views and allows one to watch the sunrise! The pool terrace has sun from dawn to around 6-30 pm in August, though the pool itself has gradual shade from around 4-30. There are plenty of shady areas for those wishing to have a break from the sun.<br><br>It is about 25 minutes walk to the nearest commercial and dining facilities, so a car is pretty much essential. We have used Chania Rentals for our car hire 6 times previously on trips to Crete. They are very reputable imo.<br><br>The are several supermarkets in the nearby towns/villages and the usual bakers, butchers, etc. Most are only a few minutes drive away. There is a Lidl at the far end of Maleme, which is about 12 minutes drive towards the airport on the old national road. Access to the New National Road, is perhaps 7-8 minute drive in either direction along the old road.<br><br>Local beaches are easy to reach and are perfectly ok. The fabulous Falasarna beaches are around 45 minutes drive and well worth a few trips. Elafonisi is a jewel too, but is 75 minutes away through the mountains. Try to arrive before 9 am, for the best photo opportunities, or you'll have to battle thousands of other tourists. <br><br>We have no hesitation in recommending this villa and we will definitely be back in the future!!”
“We stayed for one week and wish we would have had enough time for a month 😀. <br><br>The Villa is really fantastic, finished to very high standards and the view from the pool is awesome. Despite this being part of a double house, it is very smartly constructed in a way you won’t even notice there is another villa on the other side ! <br><br>We’ve rented with Chania rentals several times and all runs really smooth, also the Villa Owner was super friendly and helpful…….thanks for the great time and hope to be back soon 😀”
“très bon séjour dans cette maison parfaitement adaptée à nos besoins .Trés calme au milieu des oliviers . belle vue .<br> Maison très propre à notre arrivée ”
“We stayed from 16/07/2021 till 06/08/2021<br> This villa has everything you need. But this villa has 1 thing in particular what makes your stay amazing. The sunset on the above terrace. Every time a new spiritual experience. Magical!”
“The house has everything you need, besides some great views and unforgettable sunsets. The pool is very clean and the owner takes really good care of his guests and of the house. Do not hesitate.”
“We reserved this beautiful villa for 8 days. As has been mentioned before, Katarina welcomed us with a warm meal, which we really appreciated. She bought us more food every 2-3 days and we could eat as many grapes and figs from the yard as we wanted. <br><br> We really loved the view over the bay of Chania and sitting around and swimming in the pool. <br><br> There are very few neighbors and it is a really quiet neighborhood, which we enjoyed. <br><br>At the bottom of the hill are two good restaurants (2-3 Minute walk) and a super market, two cafes (5 minute walk) and the beach (10 minute walk) are all nearby. <br><br> We liked the villa so much that we extended our day for four additional days. Katarina's son Manolis was also very helpful with all our questions and the cleaning lady came every day for the pool and twice a week to clean inside the house. <br><br> We would love to come back again.”
“The villa was just perfect. Cool inside with everything you could want. Gorgeous pool and great location. <br>Perfect for relaxing <br> The hosts were incredible. Helpful and generous without being intrusive. <br> Wonderful location too within walking distance of shops and tavernas though Crete is too beautiful not to hire a car.<br> 100 percent recommend. ”
“We had our best ever holiday staying in Maleme Villa during the first 2 weeks of August. The villa is absolutely beautiful, it had everything you could possibly need for a perfect stay. We were a family of 5 with 3 teenagers and the space the villa offered was spot on with everyone having their own room. It is a beautiful property finished to a high spec, and offers lots of lovely shaded outdoor areas for relaxing with a book and a glass of wine or a beer. Stella is the most fantastic host we have ever experienced, giving us lots of tips on places to visit, local restaurants etc, not to mention bringing us some lovely local pastries and icecream during our stay. The villa is an easy 5 minute walk to the beach and lot of lovely tavernas, yet is set in a very peaceful setting so it's lovely and quiet. Absolutely loved every minute of our stay in Maleme Villa, and will definitely return! ”
“Thank you, Gregory, Maria and Manos! Eight of us had a superb holiday at Prinus Country Villa. You are all wonderful hosts! The villa is situated in a stunning location with superb views of the White Mountains and the Apokoronas region. The village bakery (with delicious breads) and shop provided the majority of what we needed, whilst the owner at the local restaurant was very welcoming and where we all had tasty meals. The villa itself is beautifully clean; is extremely comfortable; is very well-equipped and has many interesting items throughout all made from natural materials. The barbecue and outdoor lounge/dining areas were perfect for relaxing whilst the pool was refreshing and such a pleasant place to read/unwind. We picked courgettes, tomatoes, aubergines and peppers from the villa garden and were very grateful for the delicious foods that were left for us by Maria, Manos and Gregory. Thank you! Maria was available on WhattsApp for any queries we had, which was comforting to know, although rarely needed. Maria also provided us with lots of useful recommendations for our time in Crete based on her wealth of local knowledge. Two of our party (keen cyclists) regularly cycled up and around the White Mountains and the local lanes/roads were interesting to walk. The amphitheatre, Minoan Bridge; church built into the caves and the Alidakis castle are all within walking distance and are certainly worth visiting. We also enjoyed our boat trip from Hora Sfakion to the Sweetwaters beach. This is our fourth visit to Crete: an island that we love and where we always feel so safe; especially here at Prinus Villa on the outskirts of the village of Emprosneros. ”
“This is a fantastic villa. The view is spectacular and there is a lot of space. We were several generations together - 9 people, and the house was perfect for us. The owner is extremely nice and helpful, we could always reach him, and he would always help. The house was a bit under equipped, and two toilets were not functioning optimally, but overall everything was great. The location is a bit tricky. Even though the house is close to Stalos city, it is very hard to walk - especially home, because it is on the top of the hill. We did not rent a car - you should!! We walked down and took a taxi back. It is a bit difficult to order taxi to the house, because there is no specific address, only coordinates. But the owner always helped us book a taxi and explained the location to them. ”
“Wir haben die letzten 2 Urlaubswochen zu Viert in der wundervollen Villa Resi sehr genossen. <br>Neben dem fantastischen Ausblick aufs Meer (vor allem bei Sonnenuntergang), dem sehr sauberen Haus & Pool ist vor allem die herzliche Begrüßung (mit selbstgebackenem Kuchen, Wein & Olivenöl) und Betreuung durch Andonis & Anita vor Ort zu erwähnen. Vielen lieben Dank dafür! <br>Tagesausflüge nach Balos Beach, Elafonisi und Loutro können wir sehr empfehlen genauso wie die Taverna Parasia in Vamos und das Pandaisia in Kalyves (direkt am Meer mit tollem Ausblick!) zum Essen gehen. <br>Wir freuen uns bereits jetzt darauf hoffentlich bald wiederzukommen!”
“Nous avons passé 2 semaines dans la villa de Stella.<br> Tout était parfait de l accueil à la localisation en passant par la propreté de la maison.<br> La région est très belle et la maison parfaite pour la visiter. Située au milieu des oliviers, tout est reposant.<br> La piscine est idéale pour les enfants.<br> Nos hôtes ont été supers avec pleins de cadeaux d arrivée et de départ.<br> Merci encore.”
