“From the minute we were greeted and met by Lefteris we fell in love with this villa. It is a stunningly beautiful building with all the home comforts you need as well as the additional extras that you want on a holiday abroad. Both Lefteris and Alexandra made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The villa itself is just slightly out of the town which adds to the relaxing atmosphere but on the other hand only a short stroll to the shops and the main tourist town. We would highly recommend this place to anyone and will definitely be back ourselves. ”

“We had a wonderful time, the Villa was just perfect and the location was great just 5 minutes from the beach. The owners were lovely they really made us welcome giving us food and wine on arrival and also during the week. Would thoroughly recommend this villa and would really like to go back again sometime.”

“Nous avons passé 3 semaines dans la villa Metochi: séjour extraordinaire . Le propriétaire est charmant et très réactif. La villa est superbe, fonctionnelle, au calme et bénéficie d'une vue magnifique! <br><br> La villa est proche de kolympari où vous trouverez de nombreux restaurants . ”

“Villa Maritina is just amazing! We arrived late at night. Manos, the owner waited for us, showed us around and greeted us with fresh fruits, juice, bread, butter, milk olive oil and wine. We had everything we needed for the first day and we were not in a rush to go grocery shopping. The villa and the property are very well taken care of and spotlessly clean. Manos came for a midweek cleaning and he took care of all our needs and gave helpful tips.<br><br> The views over the olive trees and the coast line are amazing! The kids enjoyed the pool and the whole family could relax. Every night we had the most wonderful sunset over the mountains. <br><br> We visited Balos beach, Elafonisi beach and Falassarna beach. All of them are very beautiful!<br> Husband and son made a trip through Samaria Gorge. <br> We can highly recommend &quot;The Wave&quot; restaurant in Maleme.<br><br> All in all a perfect vacation! ”

“Myself and my family of 4 had a fantastic stay in this Villa for 13 nights August 2016. The location is peaceful and had everything you could possibly need for a great home from home holiday. The pool was amazing, the owner kept the place very clean throughout our stay here. <br><br> On arrival which was very late the owner greeted us, showed us around even left a beautiful fruit bowl grown from their own garden. He then took my partner and son on a tour to find a mini market. Throughout our stay here the family could not do enough for us. <br><br> If things were to go wrong they immediately addressed any issues. I would however recommend a car to get around Taxi's were not to cheap considering the rate of the pound on arrival. The supermarket is an easy 15 minute walk, but just a short walk is a small market shop that you can grab milk/bread ect from. <br><br> The only downfall and in the height of the season so extremely hot, the larger rooms air con was not good, we followed the instructions keeping doors and windows shut but made no difference at all, so if you were getting ready needing to use a hairdryer it would be frustrating as you felt like you needed another shower or had to do your hair in stages. It did not deter my enjoyment on holiday just had to adapt.... <br><br> I would recommend this villa to anyone looking for peace and tranquility, that are looking for somewhere ideal for family time, pool, BBQ's and space. It is the place to go... oh and lots to see outside of the villa stunning beaches, towns and places to eat, ”

“We stayed in Almyros villa for 1 week in September and we absolutely loved everything about it! There were 10 of us (8 adults and 2 children) staying in the house and still the house felt very spacious. The outside areas are amazing. Especialy the pool area which has everything you need for a nice relaxing time. It's even more beautiful than what it looks like in the pictures. There is a huge dining table, so no problems for everyone to sit down together for dinner. The house is clean and well looked after. The location feels secluded and private but still it's not far away from Georgioupolis. We walked in to the village every morning to get freshly baked bread. It's about a 1 km walk. You need to cross the main road but we didn't have any problems with that. One night the whole family walked to the vilage to have dinner and then we took a taxi home in the evening.<br><br> Chrissy who met us there when we arrived made us feel very welcome and made it very clear from the beginning, that any querries, problems or even if we were just looking for some local advice.. that we should not hesitate to call! We even got to keep the house for the whole day on the day of departure due to the house not being booked up the following week which was a great bonus since we had an evening flight!!<br><br> We would definitely recommend anyone to stay here, everything from start to finish was perfect...we only wish we could have stayed forever!”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Konstantinos Villa. Comfortable and very well equipped inc washing machine and dish washer. Lovely dining terrace and a large garden with a good sized pool. Delightful rural location surrounded by farmland and having stunning panoramic views of the mountains. Don't forget to buy some carrots and apples for the horse in the paddock opposite! Just a 5 minute stroll to Maza village centre and Kostas's family run Caferion where you can experience wonderful traditional Cretan hospitality and quality freshly cooked food. <br><br>The riverside village of Vrisses is only 8 minutes by car and has numerous shops, tavernas including bakeries and supermarkets. The beach at Georgioupolis is about a 12 minute drive and the nearest major centres are Rhythmon 30 minutes and Chania 45 minutes. The south coast (Hora Sfakion) is a 50 minute drive. The villa is an excellent base for exploring the whole of the Rhythmon region. We will certainly be returning ”

“Paradise! Beautiful home, location, perfect hosts. The photographs do not lie. I would highly recommend this Villa, it suited our family, we took our children ages 5 and 7. The pool was great for them as it has a shallow end. Thank you Katerina and George, you were the ultimate hosts, we loved trying your homemade food and wine etc and felt utterly spoiled. You totally charmed our children. Everything was clean, it was lovely to have the pool cleaned every 2 days too. I do hope we can come back soon.”

“This was our second time in Villa Yasemi and the owners welcomed us back with a delicious homemade meal, which we were so grateful for having been up since 3 am! <br><br>The villa is spacious and well-equipped. The children particularly appreciated both the Wi-fi and the Playstation 3! The pool overlooks the mountains and every night we enjoyed spectacular sunsets with a glass of wine or Mythos/Alpha from the big balcony area. We do agree with some reviews that the pool area could do with weeding but it was not a serious concern for us.<br><br> The villa is in walking distance from Maleme but we definitely recommend a car, which we hired through Chania Rentals and had no issues with. This will enable you to go further to try out the many wonderful restaurants in the area. The local supermarket in Maleme (Inka) has everything you need. <br><br>The owners are extremely friendly but will respect your privacy and the cleaning lady does a great job and speaks good English. We will most certainly return to Villa Yasemi in the future”

“We had spotted this villa last year when staying at a smaller house in the same village so we did know what to expect. We had a wonderful time and pretty much everything was perfect. Lovely pool, plenty of space to sit outside to relax and to eat. <br><br> Very comfortable bed (there were just 2 of us in 3 bed villa!) and excellent frequent cleaning service. 2 good bathrooms. Nice kitchen - although as we rarely go out to eat we would have liked a bigger choice of saucepans but thats a tiny quibble and we managed fine.<br><br> We ate the prickly pears from the garden with yoghurt every morning for breakfast - having got the knack last year of avoiding the nasty spines on them. The smell of the jasmine and the frangipani in the garden was also lovely.<br><br> We managed without a car - with a small but excellent shop a 10 minute walk away , the main village about 20 minutes walk and the bus stop 10 minute walk with a fantastic bus service - with the last bus back from Kolymbari (and great fish restaurant) well after midnight.<br><br> Highly recommended.”

“Villa Stella is a haven of tranquillity and relaxation. This is a traditional house. We have stayed with 4 adults but there is plenty of space for 6. The pool is large and set amongst fruit trees and totally secluded. There are terraces and balconies and all sorts of nooks and crannies to sit in the sun or the shade. There is a brick bbq with its own table and chairs alongside if you don't fancy the short stroll to the sea front where there are plenty of places to eat: try Ageri and The Wave for good food and a warm welcome. We love the house with its wooden floors and large windows. It is very light and airy. <br><br> You will be met by the very friendly owner Nikos and his wife. They can't do enough to make sure your stay is pleasant and relaxing although they would never intrude. The welcome pack and water and juices in the fridge are just what you need on arrival. The house and pool are cleaned to the very highest standard.<br><br> We have stayed here many times and cannot recommend it enough.”
