“We stayed at the Maleme Villa during our Easter holiday for a week. Since we had an early morning flight and the villa was empty, we got to sign in already at noon. The landlady was very welcoming and had gotten some local delicacies for us. <br><br> The villa was high quality, clean and spacious. We were two couples and one child travelling and fitted very nicely in the main building so we didn’t use the pool house. The yard was tidy, comfortable and pretty secluded from neighbours and streets. We were propably first visitors after winter so the villa felt a bit damp in the beginning. Luckily the heating was very effective and after warming up the dampness wasn’t an issue anymore. There was also air conditioning for summer available. The pool was at our disposal but water was still a bit too cold for longer swims. <br><br> Location is quite peaceful and there’s only a short walk to the beach (our 3,5-year-old could walk it back and forth easily). There’s also a good supermarket (Synka) close by on the main street. Bit further towards Hania there’s town called Platania with shops/restaurants. We had a rental car but public buses seemed to drive pass regularly. During our stay in late April it was very peaceful as the main season wasn’t on and some places were still closed (some bit more secluded tavernas, bike rentals etc.) and under some renovation after winter. There were also lots of landfalls in the mountains nearby which occasionally had destroyed half of the road. All in all Maleme Villa can be easily recommended and if we ever go back to the region we will surely book it again.”

“We liked both the house and our hosts. The house is beautifully situated, the rooms have a nice layout. From the balcony of the master bedroom you have a view over the whole valley to the sea. Everything was perfectly clean. We were very pleased that in the bath rooms there were sufficient soap and toilet paper available, so those had not to be the first on our to-buy-list. Also, we were very excited about the welcome gift, consisting of coffee, tea, two bottles of mineral water in the fridge, cookies, a bottle of wine and a decanter of raki. What a nice gesture! Our hosts were on hand when needed, but never intrusive - really very sympathetic. We will gladly stay there again. We would like to recommend it to other guests. ”

“We had the chance to stay in this Luxurious villa for 2 weeks. <br> What a fantastic villa.. <br> Manos( owner) with family made our stay really pleasant. Brought us a huge Moussaka, own olive oil and Raki. We where visited daily by Silver( the horse) and the dog we called Foxy( looks like a fox) <br> The house has it all.2 showers, 3 bedrooms, a huge kitchen living room concept. <br> Every room has a balkony. <br> We just got in Love with this place. <br><br> Situated on a very quiet area among olive growes<br> Near Gerani and Platanias.<br> The road to the house is a bit tricky( dirt road) but once get used to it, it’s ok.<br> Hope to het there again <br> Thanks Manos. ”

“From the moment Alexandra and Lefteris met us at the airport we knew we were in safe hands! They were so welcoming and we felt spoilt by the overflowing fruit mountain and local wines. The villa was beautifully prepared for our arrival and was spotlessly clean! We arrived in the dark and in the morning we were met with an idyllic view from our bedroom balcony! <br><br>The villa has been sympathetically restored to ensure guests can enjoy modern facilities in a traditional Cretan property which has a wealth of history and heritage. The outside space is designed to ensure privacy and the 3 balconies ensure you don't miss the sun/shade depending on when your preference. The pool and garden offer an oasis of calm and tranquility.<br><br> Finally the owners have mastered the perfect balance of being on hand if needed whilst respecting your privacy. ”

“Lovely clean and well appointed villa. Manolis is very attentive, popping in to check all is okay and bearing gifts, but not intrusive. Plaka, which is an easy 10 mins walk away, offers a couple of shops and tavernas. A wider variety of both is available in Almerida, an easy 30 mins walk away (taxi back available ;) ). Ideally situated to explore lots of wonderful places. All in all, highly recommended.”

“We, 2 adults and 1 child, stayed in Metochi Villa for 1 week in octobre.<br><br> The villa ist great, spacious, clean, well equipped! The pool is really nice and well maintained.

Good tavernas are in a few minutes drive.<br><br> The owner is very nice and helpful. <br><br> All in all we had an excellent stay and can absolutely and very highly recommend the villa!”

“We, 2 adults and 1 child, stayed in Calma Seaside Villa for 1 week in octobre.<br><br> The villa ist beautiful, high standard, spacious, clean and very well equipped! The pool is really nice and well maintained. <br><br> The view from the roof terrasse is fantastic!<br><br> We appreciated very much the ideal location of the villa. <br> Directly situated on a nice beach, which we had, at this season, almost all alone for us.<br> It is close to Chania and to a lot of dream beaches. Also well located to visit the south of the island. <br> Good tavernas are in only a few minutes walk or drive.<br> The owner is very sympathic and helpful. Thanks so much Antonis!<br><br> All in all we had an excellent stay and can absolutely and very highly recommend this great villa!”

“We've had such a wonderful stay that we simply can't give anything but 5 stars for this. <br><br> We had been skeptical before booking as the furnishing of the Villa looked a bit dated, but rest assured it isn't. It's very cosy and comfortable. <br><br> Maria and her husband were basically reading our minds and stopped by before we could even ask for anything. It almost felt like having a personal assistant who accompanied the Villa. <br><br> Thanks so much for having us (and for the little surprises!) :)”

“We had a 2 weeks very nice stay in this well built and comfortable villa. The owners live nearby and offered wine, olive oil, fruit and cake on arrival. Thank you! The view was marvellous and the garden had many nice places for having a meal or to take a sunbath. As there was a rather cold wind some days, we would have loved to stay for a while at the back of the house, but the garden was not finished there. <br><br> We had cleaning service and change of linen twice during our stay! <br><br> We prefere renting a villa instead of booking rooms at big and busy hotels. Here we could go away for the day, and come back "home" in the afternoon. As the weather was not at its best, we took the car to Agia Galina, Paleohora, Balos lagoon and Plakias - as well as Retymnon and Chania. <br><br> Thanks to our hosts for offering us bottles of their own olive oil on departure. <br><br> We would love to come back some day!”

“Haben unseren Herbsturlaub trotz schlechtem Wetter in dieser Unterkunft sehr genossen. Sie ist großzügig eingerichtet und für 6 Personen gut geeignet. Überdachte Terasse mit herlichem Ausblick, die traditionelle Bauweise und Einrichtung incl. moderner Küche und Bäder), die Lage und die Ruhe haben dies bewirkt. Pool und viele verteilte Sitzplätze auf dem Grundstück laden zum verweilen ein. Die Lage auf der Nordeite der Insel ermöglichen viele Ausflüge in alle Richtungen. Ein Leihwagen ist notwendig. DANKE für den schönen Urlaub - thanks for the nice vacancy :-)”

“We had a wonderful stay in Villa Campos. The Villas is very well equipped, Great Location and everything "worked". Management very friendly and efficient. We were unlucky with the weather with quite a few cloudy day but had a lovely 2 weeks anyway. Thanks again!”
