“Spent a week over Easter in this beautiful property (family of four). The house has been very well restored. Outdoor space is fantastic, esp the pool and barbeque area. Shadu or sunny spots at any time of day. The village has a bakery and small shop plus a café. Later in the year there is also a taverna. Location is excellent - both coats are easily accessible. The owner and his family were extremely welcoming and friendly. Recommend it very highly.<br> This is the second property from this company we have stayed in, and both have been excellent. ”

“Wow, what a find! We stayed in this villa for two weeks at the beginning of October last year and had a brilliant time. We have holidayed in many villas abroad over the years but have to say that this is one of the best we have ever stayed in! The villa, garden and pool area is surrounded by a high stone wall so it is completely private. The villa itself is located in a very quiet and beautiful area, but still close to many good tavernas, bars and supermarket. The views from the bedroom balconies is spectacular and the perfect place to watch the sun go down with a G&T! The villa is spotlessly clean and has all the comforts of home and more. When we arrived the table was overflowing, quite literally, with fresh fruit and wine, a welcome gift from the owners which was a lovely touch.The barbecue area is great for those days/nights when you just want to stay and lounge by the pool and cook the fantastic fish etc that you can buy locally, also the large kitchen area is very well equipped. We met the owners, Lefteris and Alexandra, several times during our stay, they are lovely people, charming and friendly and they shared their local knowledge of the area and recommendations for places to eat out and visit. A car is essential if you wish to explore the area, there are many nice places to visit, but we also used a taxi for trips out at night and it was a very reasonable price. Nice beaches close by. We will definitely be booking another holiday here!”

“We spent wonderful two weeks in october in this beautiful villa and will come back again. The owners are absolute friendly and helpfull in many ways. Thank you so much!! ”

“This is a charming house with all facilities you need even when you stay there with two families. Especially we were pleased about the good equipped kitchen (inclusive Tupperware). Well, the cutting boards could be replaced;-) The cleaning and the guest-service were great.:-)) The only fly in the soup: serveral times we found cat-shit in the garden. But nevertheless we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the house our friends.”

“La maison est tout simplement parfaite et le service également !<br><br> Nous y avons séjourné durant une semaine début octobre 2017. Nous étions 2 familles (4 adultes et 4 enfants en bas âge) et vraiment chaque famille avait son espace, c'était fantastique.<br><br> La maison est bien équipée, bien située, propre et chaleureuse.<br><br> Les extérieurs sont fantastiques, que ce soit l'espace bar-billard-barbecue, la piscine, la place de jeu en sable ou l'immense terrasse panoramique sur le toit ! Elle est extrêmement bien située et jouit d'un belle ensoleillement même en octobre.<br><br> A signaler également que le service de ménage était efficace, discret et disponible si nécessaire.<br><br> Je ne peux que conseiller cette merveilleuse maison !”

“Joanna Villa is absolutely amazing - our stay in Maleme was fantastic! Alexandra and Lefteris are wonderful hosts and are eager to share their island with all of their guests. The villa has a rich history and is restored beautifully - it has everything you could ask for. We did not rent a car during our stay, but we did rent bicycles from the travel agent up the street, who also set us up with tours. We travelled around the area, did a lot of hiking, and experienced the warmth of the Cretan people. Everyone in the village was so friendly and helpful - we will definitely return to this wonderful area!”

“Ein wunderschönes Haus in super Lage! Sehr gut ausgestattet und wunderschön renoviert! Zur Begrüßung war eine riesengroße Obstschale da und der Kontakt zum Vermieter war unkompliziert und gut! Wir würden jederzeit wieder hier buchen.<br> Wir waren eine Woche da und nach 4 Tagen gab es nochmal neue Handtücher und es wurde sauber gemacht!<br> Wir waren eine Gruppe von 8 Erwachenen und alle waren begeistert!”

“Liebes Chania Rentals Team, Mr. Vlahakis und Eigentümerin Natalie, vielen herzlichen Dank für die unvergesslich schöne Zeit während unseres zweiwöchigen Aufenthalts in der Villa!<br><br> Wir waren 3 Familien mit 6 Erwachsenen und 3 kleinen Kindern. Es war alles perfekt! Absolut empfehlenswerte Villa! Einfache Reservierung und Buchung über die Chania Rentals Website, Check-In hat super funktioniert. Natalie hat auf uns spät abends wegen Flugverspätung um 23:00 Uhr gewartet und uns herzlich mit Wein, Brot, Obst, Wasser etc. <br><br>empfangen, vielen Dank dafür. Toller Pool, tolle Außenanlage mit diversen frischen Kräutern fürs Kochen, wahnsinnig schöne Aussicht, bester Pizza Steinofen der Welt, saubere und gepflegte Zimmer und Bäder, sehr gut ausgestattet Küchen, sehr kinderfreundlich, super Ausgangslage für Tagesreisen nach Balos Beach, Elafonissi, Chania, Rethymnon und Samaria Tour mit Quad. 2 x die Woche wurde alles von oben bis unten sauber gemacht. Eigenes Auto ist empfehlenswert, da sonst ca. 25 Minuten zu Fuß bis Agia Marina. Tolle Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe. <br><br>Wenn man ein einmaligen und schönen Urlaub im Kreise der Familie / Freunde, ohne Touristen Trubel verbringen möchte, seine Ruhe genießen und trotzdem Westkreta entdecken möchte, dann ist diese Villa perfekt für jeden Individualreisenden...absolut empfehlenswerte Unterkunft! Preis-Leistung hat absolut gepasst. Wir kommen definitiv wieder! Man könnte noch sehr viel mehr positives schreiben, aber Bilder sagen mehr als Tausend Worte...seht selbst..<br><br>.Danke Chania Rentals und ein großes Dankeschön an Natalie und Ihr Team, die sich immer um unsere Bedürfnisse gekümmert und so unsere Reise zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht haben!!! Geana Villa is Perfect! Everything You want, everything You need! THX”

“Eine wunderschön gelegene Villa mit allem was man braucht. Sehr gepflegt und sauber und freundliche Besitzer . Wir haben einen wunderbaren erholsamen Urlaub dort verbracht und können die Villa nur empfehlen.”

“So lucky with this weather for the 1/2 term holiday. Maleme Villa exceeded our wildest expectations with no less than 2 outside dining areas - sun or shade - oven or BBQ - you choose. 7 of us - 3 generations - just adored this rural idyll. Some superb meals at Mikes Hotel, which like the shops, beach and supermarket is only 5 minutes walk. Do not hire a car, as the buses into Chania (must visit) are frequent and "Mike Hotel" is a named stop. If you are a walker, have a go at one of the Gorges, accessed by coach from outside Mikes.However if you choose "Samaria", the longest Gorge in Europe, you'll be up at 4.30 and not back until 9.15. The views are stunning but the walk is tough, our wonderful guide Carolina, can do it in 2 hours, at age 82 it took me 8 hours with barely a stop, and there's no "way out". The other "must visit" is Elafonisi Beach, on a nice day - an hours coach trip to the South West of Crete - deserves its reputation as the "Third Best in the World".”
