Guest Reviews

“This two bedroomed villa is in a superb location, surrounded by vines and olive trees, with great sea views and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The swimming pool was cleaned several times during the week and the villa was cleaned mid week as well. There was an abundance of spare towels and linen and we felt very at home there during our stay. The walk to the beach was about 5 minutes and took us past the super market and places to eat. I thoroughly recommend it. There is no need for a car and a bus runs to various places from outside the supermarket.<br><br> The most memorable thing about this villa, however, is the welcome that awaits guests from the owners, who just want to do all they can to make you feel relaxed about your stay. The food provided as a starter pack was amazing and we were told to pick fruit freely from the garden. Pommegranites were the fruit of our stay in September! This is truly a memorable place!”

“A wonderful place to stay with everything close by. The food in local tavernas was very good. It was lovely to be able to go to the beach or pool. We did not get to meet the owner but a variety of foods were left in the fridge; everything had been thought if! I would visit Calma again!”

“un lieu superbe ! des Propriétaire vraiment charmant, un repos reel !!!! nous pensons revenir l’année prochaine..... Vivement les vacances 2019 !!”

“We had a wonderful stay at Elia Villa 2. When we arrived the villa, garden and pool were spotlessly clean and a lovely welcome pack awaited us.<br><br> The villa was positioned on the edge of a small village which had all the amenities you needed. There were a couple of restaurants and several bars and the most amazing cake shop and cafe. There were at least 3 small supermarkets in the village, one owned by the villa owner and his daughter. They made us so welcome and couldn't do enough for us, they were extremely friendly and helpful.<br><br> The villa is in a great position for exploring the North West area of Crete. The nearest lovely beach is a 5/10 minute drive away and Chania town a 30 minute drive away and you can also drive into the mountains and explore small villages.<br><br> We would highly recommend Elia Villa 2 and hope to return one day.”

“Had a lovely week here at the beach. Kitchen was well appointed and outdoor area was quite inviting. We could walk to the beach. The town offered everything we needed, grocery store, shops, restaurants, butcher, bakery. A lovely, well kept rental house close to everything.”

“We stayed at Villa del Mare from 7-21 September 2018 with a family of 8 persons (between 17 and 47 years old). We had a great time, the villa is fantastic and the view is perfect. The villa is very spacious and almost all bedrooms have sea view. You can walk down the path near the villa to the sea and go snorkling, it is very beautiful! The lovely city of Chania is less than 30 minuts away. You can walk in just 10 minutes to beautiful, tiny beaches.<br><br> The owner of the villa and the staff of Chania Rentals are very helpful, the service is great!<br><br> We will recommend the owner to create more shadow places near the pool, the only litte umbrella is not enough for a 10-persons villa! ;-)”

“Eine Villa direkt von einheimischen Gastgebern zu mieten unterscheidet sich maßgeblich von der Nutzung anonymer Angebote - der persönliche und sympathische Kontakt ist eigentlich schon unbezahlbar. Das Haus liegt in Drapanos, einem abgelegenen Dorf abseits des Massentourismus. Zur National Road sind es ca. 20 Fahrminuten, Chania ca. 35 Min, Auto also unbedingt erforderlich. Mini Markt und zwei Tavernen sind im Dorf vorhanden und liegen nur ein paar Minuten Fußweg entfernt. <br><br> Das Haus selbst ist komplett ausgestattet (Handtücher, Duschzeug, Toilettenpapier, Waschmaschine, Kaffeemaschine), TV haben wir nicht genutzt, WLAN schon. Der Kühlschrank beinhaltete Wasser für die ersten Tage und das Willkommen-Paket auf dem Esszimmertisch ist ein Beweis der griechischen Gastgebermentalität. Der Pool ist gut, war für uns im September zu kalt, in der Hauptsaison ist er wahrscheinlich ausreichend. Liegen und Grill vorhanden und gut in Schuss.<br><br> Die Villa war eine gute Wahl für uns als Basisstation zur Entdeckung WestKretas. <br><br> Das Mieten der Villa und des (vergünstigten) Mietautos über Chania-Rentals war komplett unkompliziert, der Service ist sehr zu empfehlen.”

“9 wonderfully relaxing days at this lovely villa!<br><br> The villa itself is spacious, well equipped and kept meticulously clean. The outdoor space is very private; the pool is a good size and the BBQ area includes a sink which was very useful. It's very secluded and you definitely need a car, but if you're looking to escape the crowds this ticks all the boxes.<br><br> Kostas and his father, Manousos, were excellent hosts. Kostas recommended lots of quieter beaches to visit and Manousos appeared on numerous occasions with treats from his garden plus the cheese pasties mentioned in many other reviewers posts. Delicious and very much appreciated! ”

“We was in Stema Villa from 26th August to 02nd September.<br> The Villa is amazing, very clean and the location is perfect, near to very goods restaurants in Maleme and a few kilometers from the best beaches in Crete.<br><br> The view from the balcony near the kitchen is amazing.<br> The owner is very kind and available for doubts.<br><br> It was a perfect week in Xirocampi, I hope to come back one day :)<br><br> Michelangelo ”

THANKS!!! ”
