“PHOTOS DO NOT DO IT JUSTICE - THE VILLA IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE PHOTOS!!!!!<br><br> We have just returned from an 11 night stay at Villa Calypso.<br><br> The Villa is very modern and seemed almost brand new. The bedrooms are spacious, the open plan lounge diner and kitchen were also very spacious and complete with all modern furniture and styling.<br><br> The villa sits on a wonderfully, fairly secluded plot of approx. one acre I think, with a nice long private drive leading from the road.<br><br> The pool area was fabulous and the pool was definitely much larger than we had anticipated, being approx. 8x4 meters. The only downside with the pool is there is no shallow end. The pool (again approximately) is 5.5 ft deep in all parts. This obviously means the children definitely need to be supervised whether swimmers or not.<br><br> The outdoor area comes with a lovely covered bbq and dining area, we certainly made use of the bbq whilst we were there. <br><br> The pool was cleaned every other day I believe, although most times we were not awake to see them. Cleaners also came 3 times during our 11 night stay and replaced all sheets and towels and cleaned inside and outside the villa. The towels are in great supply - we never ran out!! (Oh and also, seemed brand new).<br><br> Location was good for us as we don't really like being in the middle of a town. Therefore a car is essential. The nearest supermarket is definitely too far to walk in the heat, approx. 1.5km uphill on your return; and then the lovely town of Almyrida is approx. 4km. However a taxi to town only cost 8 Euro, so easily accessible.<br><br> All in all an absolutely fabulouse villa, run by lovely people and we would strongly recommend visiting. We definitely hope to return to the villa.<br><br> Thank you Villa Calypso. ”

“What a lovely villa,beautiful views,great pool,well located and a real treat to saty here three weeks.<br><br> The only downside is the drive,very steep,but you get use to it and it seems to be a very Cretian thing. ”

“We stayed at the yasemi villa for 9 nights and had a fantastic time. The villa was just as we had seen and George, the owner, was very helpful.<br><br> You are quite secluded and you will need a car if you stay here. Our only slight negative was that the area around the pool could do with a touch of weeding but I'm being pretty picky!!! <br><br> Would definitely recommend.<br><br> Chania Rentals were superb, from the moment we booked to sorting out the hire car, they were very attentive and nothing was to much trouble.”

“WOW!. What a superb villa in a wonderful rural and quiet location. <br>The facilities were excellent and everything we needed was provided. The owner met us on arrival and his sister Chrissy also came round to see that everything was OK - nothing was too much trouble for them. We had regular cleaning and bed linen changing and there were welcome drinks when we arrived. Outside the pool and barbecue were ideal. <br>A car is essential but restaurants, shops and beaches are in close proximity. <br>All in all my wife and I, daughter and 2 grandchildren (aged 7 and 9) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I concur with previous comments on the surrounding area for restaurants and beaches. 10/10.”

“An excellent villa with really high levels of equipment and luxury. Perfect pool and really good location close to the Beach and town but far enough away to be peaceful. Really relaxing holiday and the owner and his wife are extremely helpful and very nice people - a bit like having friends who call in every three or four days to make sure everything is okay.<br><br> Excellent Villa - would recommend and certainly would go back.”

“We've just returned from 2 weeks stay in Villa Stella and the enjoyment of our stay echo's previous reviews. Spotlessly clean, beatiful garden and Pool area and a lovely traditional villa, close to the village and all the restaurants and supermarkets. <br>We arrived late on the Saturday to be greated by the owner and his wife' who brought fruit, water, a bottle of wine, and the best lamb meal that we had the whole of the holiday.<br><br> I'd highly recommend this villa and resort, we had a wonderful and relaxing time. ”

“The villa really made our holiday as Maria and Yannis are so welcoming, keep a beautiful villa spotlessly clean and provide everything for you. <br><br> The villa is well located just outside of Chania. It is close to a main road and does have road noise when you're by the pool, but not in the villa. My wife is quite sensitive to noise, however she was fine with it. <br><br> The village of Galatas has some local shops which makes it easy to keep stocked up, plus do try the restaurant Ella which had great food at a reasonable price. <br><br> I fully recommend Marina Villa ”

“It was a great house very neat. We had a small problem with the air condition and Chrissy an her brother come very quickly to repair it. It was really a nica holiday here and we were happy.”

“The villa is beautifully appointed, immaculately clean, and the hosts are just amazing. Nothing was too much trouble, lifts to the supermarket before we got our hire car. Generous amount of fruit, olive oil and wine on arrival.<br><br> I think that it is best suited for those who wish to totally relax. If you have teenagers who wish to wander off to night life, this is not the place for them as the restaurants are a 25 minute walk, and not much is going on. <br><br> Chania well worth a visit, and touring round the top part of this lovely island was great. We would definitely visit again.<br><br> Downsides, not many. Shower in ensuite was a bit odd, and although there is ample shade which we loved be careful to midge up as I think they may lurk in the beautiful overhanging greenery.”

“We have just come back from an amazing holiday in Crete staying at Villa Almyros.<br><br> Villa Almyros was a lovely place to stay nestled in olive groves with great views of the surrounding countryside. The pictures just don't do it justice as the villa is large, bright and very well equipped throughout. From the moment that we arrived we were made to feel very welcome and the villa owners looked after as very well. They are really nice people and nothing was to much trouble. The villa was cleaned regularly along with the pool.<br><br> The villa is in a good location and close to Georgioupolis where there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. The closest restaurant up the hill was called 'Mathes' and this was a very nice place to eat so highly recommend this to.<br><br> If you book this villa you will not be disappointed. We all had a great holiday with good memories. Really good for all ages.<br><br> Chania Rentals also arrange car hire for us and I have to say this was one of the easiest car hire transaction that we have ever had to go through. It was so easy and we didn't have any time wasted queuing up waiting to be served.”
