“I stayed at this fabulous property for 2 weeks in June with my husband,daughter, son-in-law and two young boys of 3 and 1. We arrived late in the evening and the owners daughter met us on arrival with an enormous basket of fruit and basics to tide us over until the morning. The Villa was spotlessly clean and had everything we could possibly need for a perfect holiday. The pool was wonderful: a great size for a good swim rather than just a dip to cool off. The grounds were vast with fresh lemon, and plum trees etc. There were numerous balconies and seating areas outside with a fabulous built in bar-b-q where we ate most evenings. The owners are terrific people and cannot do enough for you. We stupidly locked ourselves out of the villa one morning and Nikos the owner came out from Chania to let us in with no recriminations. He was absolutely charming.<br><br> The only downside was the beach at Maleme which was quite stoney but that really didn't matter as we spent most days around the pool (beautifully clean and well kept) which our grandsons loved. Although Maleme is fairly quiet, there are a few very good tavernas close by and also some along the beach, three supermarket within easy reach and a bus stop just outside the closest supermarket which runs approx every 30 mins and goes to Chania, stopping off at a number of villages with good beaches between. The journey to Chania takes approx.30/40 mins.<br><br> Thank you Nikos and Chania Rentals, We certainly plan to return!”

“Wow beautiful villa - the sea views are gorgeous. The villa itself was stunning well laid out and equipped. <br><br> we were there for 2 weeks in June 2017 and was looking for a relaxing time and boy did we get it! It was with regret we left the villa to sight see!!<br><br> Katerina, George and their 2 handsome sons Konstantinos and Manos - were wonderful! Food on arrival - straight from Katerinas oven! Far too much food and gifts - we felt spoiled rotten! But it all added to the charm of Dionysus and Kalyves !!<br><br> We spent a lot of our holiday eating at the Kymata Beach restaurant at the bottom of the hill - wonderful food and staff!!<br><br> If we had to be picky the only "trouble" we had was with the hand held showers - however we quickly overcame that with a bit of gaffa tape ha ha.<br><br> We will be back next year!!”

“Wir haben im Juni eine sehr erholsame Woche in der wirklich schönen Villa verbracht. Die Lounge-Ecke auf der Terrasse ist sehr gemütlich und die Aussicht auf das Meer und die Berge war wundervoll. Mit dem Auto ist man in wenigen Minuten im nächsten Ort und am Strand. <br><br> Die Vermieterin ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie hat uns viele Tipps für Lokale gegeben und uns mit frischen Eiern und Gemüse aus dem eigenen Garten versorgt.<br><br> Wir können diese Villa sehr empfehlen. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt.”

“Villa Margarita II è effettivamente come appare nelle foto! Abbiamo apprezzato molto la piscina, il barbecue e l'arredamento confortevole e moderno della casa.<br><br> La posizione è ottima, fuori dal caos con una bellissima vista mare tra il verde degli ulivi.<br><br> Margarita è una padrona di casa ospitale e disponibile. Abbiamo apprezzato il "kit" di prodotti locali che ci ha gentilmente offerto, compreso un numero considerevole di uova biologiche!<br><br> Consigliato a chi vuole passare una vacanza in un posto tranquillo e incantevole!”

“What a fantastic stay!!, from the location with wonderful views of the mountains to one side and the Lake to the other side! This Villa had everything!! the pool was wonderfully refreshing in April!!, but it would be great in summer!. Giannis the owner was friendly, knowledgable and left us a great welcome hamper, and some gifts when we departed.<br><br> All in all a great place to get away from it all, but still be close enough to the amenities of either the lake/nearby tavernas or the town of Georgiopolis nearby.<br><br> Highly recommended..”

“Villa Joanna is truly a beautiful place to stay. It's even more amazing than in pictures. Hosts were really friendly and welcoming. Our holiday in sunny Maleme was truly amazing. This villa is like a paradise with a refreshing pool and beautiful garden.”

“We had a lovely weeks stay at the end of May with our friends and without doubt, it was one of the very best we have ever stayed in. The owner was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The welcome pack was the best we have had and you really must try his Raki, it is so smooth! We all agreed that the villa was beautifully designed and appointed, very clean and with everything you could wish for. The pool and garden area is a lovely place to relax.<br><br> The location is fantastic. You just walk to the end of the garden, cross a tiny road and you are on a lovely clean beach. The sea is clear and safe. We also enjoyed the mountain views to the rear from the terrrace. It is a great place to have a pre evening meal drink and what with the views and the peace and quiet, it made for a very enjoyable stay.<br><br> There is an excellent supermarket close by and the reliable bus service into Chania also stops there. It's location on the edge of the village means there is a little walk into Kalives, but it isn't overly long and there are a number of very good restaurants. <br><br> We all felt the Villa was excellent value and would all like to return to use it as a base to explore other parts of Crete.<br><br>”

“We have rented many villas over the past 10 years and this was one of the best equipped we have had. Everything you could need, even down to toiletries, was provided. As other reviewers have said the setting and views were great and it was so peaceful. We had villa for first two weeks of June and although the pool felt a little chilly on the first day it soon warmed up.”

“We've just got back from a lovely week at Almyros Villa. It's been 15 years since we last visited Georgioupolis, so we wanted to celebrate our special anniversary with our family in a place we used to love. We wanted somewhere special and this villa was just wonderful. The property is huge with loads of areas to socialise in and the games room was a great addition. The pool and barbeque were well used. Chrissy (owner) couldn't do enough for us and made sure we had everything we needed. The cleaners did a great job too. Flies were a bit of a nuisance but that wasn't the fault of the owners, just a lot of fruit trees around. We won't leave it another 15 years to return and when we do, we'd love to go back to Almyros villa.”

“We stayed at Metochi Villa for 2 weeks in May. The house is beautiful, with great views and privacy, and a fantastic roof deck for a glass of good Crete wine in the evening. On hot days, the pool was a lovely spot to cool off and read.<br><br> The location is excellent for touring the western half of Crete, and we made day trips to many beaches and villages, including on the south coast. The drives are spectacular, with mountains, and vegetation, and goats galore. Chania is a charming city and we had several great meals there, and also one day in Rethymnon.<br><br> The allied war memorial cemetery at Souda Bay is worth a visit, and provides some insight into the Cretan experience during WWII.<br><br> I would recommend this villa to anyone looking for a smaller accommodation - perfect for 2 - 4. ”
