“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“Prachtig huis erg schoon! Eigenaar erg aardig en zorgt voor het zwembad. Hij kwam elke keer wat lekkers brengen en toen we aankwamen was de koelkast gevuld met eten en drinken. Rond de villa lopen geiten maar dat is niet storend. Super naar ons zin gehad. ”

“Stayed at this fantastic villa august 2016, the villa was immaculate, with everything you could need, very clean and well equipped, beautiful setting, totally secluded but only 5 minutes from Malame and 10 minutes from Platanias (by car), a car is essential though. the veiw from the villa is to die for and the pool and outside eating area is fantastic, even did a sunday roast!<br><br> 3 bedrooms each with their own bathroom and 4th bathroom just off the lounge. would 100% recommend the villa and would definately go back again.”

“Highly recommended - villa was spotlessly clean and had everything you needed. It had the peaceful feeling of being in the middle of nowhere but was incredibly convenient for shops and restaurants, either by car or taxi. <br><br> Margarita and her family couldn't do enough for you and went the extra mile to make our holiday as enjoyable as it could be, from the fresh eggs and organic vegetables delivered daily, to recommendations for superb restaurants, shops and places to visit. <br><br> We will definitely be returning to these beautiful villas on this beautiful Island. ”

“What a fantastic week our family enjoyed staying at the Sea Queen Villa. It was a special time for us with family members (grandparents to young children) coming from many parts of the world to spend time together. Everyone had their own space enjoying comfortable bedrooms with their own bathrooms, coming together in the comfortable living and outside area by the pool. While there was much to see in the area, the villa was such a pleasure it was hard to leave even to go to the beach. <br><br>Michael was on hand with a warm welcome, showed us around and gave us pointers as to where to go, were to eat and how to get around without a car - thank you and much appreciated. Other members of our family are now trying to work out how they can enjoy the delights of Chania and the Sea Queen Villa.”

“The reality is even better than the description and the pictures. I would live there for sure. To be really recommended. Margarita is a wonderful host and her houses little jewels. Bedrooms look like 4star hotel rooms.The house is fully cleaned after 3 days and all towels and linen refreshed...you may eat bio vegetables from the garden and have fresh eggs from the property chickens. Beach and shops only 5 min driving away. Chania 10min driving.<br>Don t hesitate to book it and stay there to visit the beatiful Western part of Creta. ”

“We stayed at Elbexx Villa from July 24th to August 14th with friends and family at we had a fabulous time. The owners were very nice and extremely helpful whenever we needed anything or any advice on what to do and where to eat. The villa looks newly renovated, is very spacious and comfortable, very clean (the cleaning lady came at least twice a week to clean thoroughly), and has all the needed amenities. The gardens, the terrace, the pool area are beautiful and we spent many nights having dinner outside. Since there is a breeze almost all the time, the evenings outside are very enjoyable and there are no mosquitos. The villa is a 2 minute drive to the village where you can find all your shopping needs, and is also very close to a few nice restaurants/tavernas. It is also centrally located to visit Rethymno as well as Chania, and 1 to 2 hour drive to some of the best beaches in Crete. I highly recommend this villa.”

“Villa Keronia was simply the best. Fantastic villa in a fantastic location. Out of this world and one of the best villas we have stayed in. A big thank you to all the &quot;Villa Keronia Team&quot;.”

“We stayed at Eleni Villa for two weeks and had a great time. The villa was great, with three large bedrooms, two bathrooms (and one small connected to one bedrom) and very nice kitchen. Large garden and the pool was very good to. The depth is about 1.60-1.70 and our youth kids loved it and the size is good. <br><br> I would recommend renting a car, since the walk distance into Maleme is somewthat longer than a nice little walk when shopping groceries++ and you can easily get into Platanias, Chania and other beaches. ”
