“Lovely Villa located just outside the village with views across the valley to the Sea. Located a little out of the way but the directions we downloaded were more than adequate to find our way. <br><br>We were warmly met by Margarita who made us feel very welcome. She invited us to help ourselves to vegetables from the garden and gave us eggs from her hens as well as leaving us a lovely welcome pack of local produce. <br><br>The villa is lovely and clean, well spread out with good facilities. Each bedroom has a bathroom and the kitchen is well equipped with cooker, fridgefreezer and dish washer. Supermarkets were about 10 minutes away, with beaches a couple of minutes further on. Chania was an easy drive and the main Crete road was close by. The villas are within a gated area, well spread out and offer a good degree of privacy. <br><br>We had a great time, would definitely recommend. Thank you Margarita.”

“We spent a wonderful 11 days at the end of September in Joanna Villa. The Villa is a delight. It is very clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed including lots of towels for the pool/sunloungers etc.It was cleaned several times whilst we were there. The Villa is full of character with lovely furniture. It was pleasantly cool in hot weather. The bedrooms all had balconies with lovely views and we enjoyed daily magnificent sunsets from the balconies. <br><br>The owners are perfect hosts. They are very kind and intent that we had everything we needed. As with other reviews we also had a late arrival so Lefteris kindly took us on a late visit to the Supermarket for immediate supplies. We also had a wonderful supply of fresh fruit on arrival which was replenished during our stay. <br><br>We found the situation of the Villa at Maleme very good. The Villa is situated in a quiet area in olive groves, but only a short walk down to the sea front with bars, tavernas,shops and the beach itself. The beach is pebbly but sandy underfoot once in the sea. Maleme is a pleasant town. There is regular public transport to Chania and along the coast road. We rented a car as we wanted to explore the area and found numerous places of interest including the Botanical Gardens of Crete, magnificent White mountains ,Acropolis at Polirrinia ,Amphitheatre/ruins at Aptera and a great bird-watching lake [ Agia lake]. There are plenty of beaches to visit within the area. <br><br>Thank you very much to Lefteris, Alexandra and family for a lovely stay.”

“We had a wonderful time at Villa Anemos with a fantastic view. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They came twice a week for cleaning and changing towels / sheets.<br><br> On the evening of arrival we were very late. Anestis was waiting for us and recommended us a nice tavern. The first breakfast was also provided.<br><br> The house is located in a quiet area, we recommend a rental car to explore the island. We enjoyed the beautiful beaches, the mountains and the beautiful tavernas.<br><br> Thanks for the good service and the good time in Crete! ”

“Me and my big family from the age of 9 to 74, had a wonderful stay at Villa George! <br><br> Everything was as perfect in real life as it looked on the pictures! Chania rentals made everything easy, the booking,the information, and answered our questions very politely and quick !<br> I can recomend this site and Villas!<br> Susanne, Sweden”

“Villa Euphoria is a cretan gem between two little villages Plaka and Kokkino Horio, Crete. Stayed there with my husband for a week in july 2017.<br><br> The villa it self is very well equipped with everything You could imagine: for example in kitchen You will find both electric and manual citrus squeezers, sandwich grill among with other usual cooking equipments.<br><br> The villa is very cozy and decorated with good taste. The cleanness of the villa is first class, both inside as well as outside.<br><br> We loved the big pool and the seaview. There is also a beautiful garden with plenty of space both in front of the house and in the back yard. There were many beautiful stone and palm tree plantings in the yard and You could easily see that this yard is planned by a professional touch. Also there were many table&sittinng seats in the garden and near the pool, You could easily choose the place in the shadow or in the sun.<br><br> Upstairs in the house there is a very big veranda with a magnificent view over Souda bay. That was our favourite place for enjoing our breakfasts and evening meals. And the sunsets from there were expecially beautiful with the whole sky tinted in different colours of red. And after the sunset the twinkling lights of the opposite coast were so beautiful and also the dark sky with millions stars.<br><br> The owner of the villa spoke good English also being very friendly and helpful. There was also a very nice wellcoming gift with cretan specialites waiting for the guests arriving at the villa.<br><br> All in all we loved our stay in this beautiful villa Euphoria. But there was also one bad side with it - once You get there You would love to stay there. And that is a problem.”

“Amazing, amazing, amazing. Perfect service by Mr. Artemis - very helpful, very nice. We were 8 adults and had the best vacation ever. The house ist amazing, the view stunning. Everything was very clean und well organized. The infinity-pool has the perfect size and we enjoyed every second. The house-owner was very helpful and nice and we had a warm welcome by his mother. Just 5 minutes by car there were supermarkets and taverns with nice greek food. <br><br> We fell in love with the greek people and culture, everyone was very nice and generous.<br><br> Down the hill we were snorkeling and swiming and enjoying the beautiful agean sea. Next year we're coming back - for sure. ”

“We had such a fantastic holiday at the villa. The villa its self was stunning, very clean and had great facilities. One of the things that made our holiday was Lefteris and Alejander. We received a very warm welcome from the whole family when we arrived and they were so helpful and friendly nothing was too much trouble. It was the little touches like the wine and fruit they left for us. We went as 2 families with 3 children under the age of 5 and we found everything about the villa perfect for our requirements. We will certainly be returning next year and we would highly recommend this villa”

“Our family of 7 with ages ranging from 10 to 78 stayed at the villa for a week in September .It was our first visit to Crete and the location was perfect . A two minute walk to the beach and only 4 kms from the beautiful town of Chania. If you do not have a car the emir is a regular bus service to town which passes the villa.The villa is fantastic with all the amenities on hand , including a great swimming pool .We were met by Michael who went out of his way to make sure we had everything on hand . He also helped us plan day trips and gave recommendations for eating places in Chania and the local area. The week passed too quickly and I am sure we will be back one day .”

“We had a very relaxing week in this beautiful villa, enjoying lazing round the pool, playing table tennis and trying the local restaurants in Gavalachori and those in Almyrilda. There were only 4 in our party so the extra space was a real luxury. The villa is kept lovely and clean and within easy walking distance to the village. <br><br> A car is recommended if you want to venture out of the village. We found our way to Chania where we toured the town on segways and also visited Rethymnon in search of turtles (too late!). <br><br> First appearances of Gavalachori are misleading and you will discover a warmth to the village by the end of your stay. Our stay has been truly memorable. Thank you! ”

“Superbe villa très bien agencée avec une très belle piscine et un beau parc avec des oliviers. Je veux souligner la gentillesse de Margarita et du personnel. Nous avions droit aux légumes et aux œufs frais du potager..A recommander sans hésitation.”

“We had a lovely holiday in Victoria Villa. It's very comfortable and well equipped, with a good-sized pool. A really lovely place to relax. The view over Lake Kournas to the sea, and towards the mountains, is stunning! The owner is very kind and friendly. The villa is well located a few minutes drive to the tavernas near the lake, and only ten minutes drive to Georgioupolis. Not too far to Rethymno or Chania for sight-seeing. It's also well worth driving through the mountains to the south coast. All in all, it was a great place to stay. I recommend it without hesitation!”
