“Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine dans cette maison avec nos 4 enfants dont 2 ados. Michalis et sa famille ont été aux petits soins pour rendre nos vacances très agréables. L'emplacement de cette maison, isolée au bout d'une route, au milieu des oliviers, des animaux et de voisins sympathiques, est idéal pour visiter les sites de l'ouest de la Crète (Chania, Phalassarna, Balos, Elafonissi). Ajoutons à cela l'incroyable jardin potager (melon, pastèque, tomate, concombre, courgette, aubergine...) entretenu par les propriétaires, et le site est parfait pour des vacances crétoises authentiques. La région regorge de randos sympathiques et de tavernes délicieuses, dont celle de Neratzoula à Voulgaro, un délice de cuisine maison...”

“I can keep this review short and simple. The house, owner, location, garden, pool, etc etc was perfect !<br> We had the great pleasure of the house from 29/6 to 10/7 2015 and with 4 teenagers and 2 parents we looked for a good quality house with pool, views and space. We got it all and more :-) even our 4 teenagers (age 15-22) were very very pleased with this choice of villa for our vacation :-) The space in the 4 bedrooms, the space in the house, garden and pool were alle elements that they as well as we parents enjoyed (okey our kids loved the well-working WIFI too :-))<br> When we also were so lucky to have such a friendly host/owner (+family) then I can not ask for more.<br> This vacation will definately be in our and our kids memories forever - due to this excellent house and kindnes of the owner.<br> Thank you Vasilis + family ”

“Amazing villa with fabulous hospitality from the owners. The property is spacious but not too big for a couple and the privacy is a real positive for this beautiful villa and garden. 20 mins walk from the beach which is beautiful. There are many wonderful places to eat locally too. We will be back”

“My wife, 1/2 year old son and myself stayed at SteMa Villa ten days in June. We really enjoyed everyday of our holiday, the villa is very comfortable, the view is amazing and all the commodities very convenient with the baby. All rooms are spacious with space enough for clothes, suitcases etc... The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could think of, next to it the living room where it's all set to relax. The exteriors are very well maintained, we were seduced by all the flowers and fruit trees, all of that in the middle of the olive trees. The great feature is the barbecue and oven which we enjoyed a lot. The main spot of the backyard was of course the swimming pool, big and very clean. Over all, we would certainly recommend SteMa Villa for its space, cleanliness and quiet environment. Thank you to Vasilis, the owner for his kindness and welcome!”

“The villa was perfect: everything you can think of was in it and outside, and it gives much privacy. It also looked very nice and the maintenance was good. The 15 minute-walk to the village with some shops and the sea was not nice, but good to do. The only remark is, that we had to pay 50 euro for the second time the door was broken. Although we didn’t do anything wrong with it. But overall we had a good stay, thanks to the warm welcome with drinks and breakfast in the fridge (we arrived late on saturday evening) and later a self-made cake. ”

“Vietimme upeat kaksi viikkoa Villa Valliassa kesä-heinäkuun vaihteessa. Huvila on erittäin kaunis, siisti ja hyvin varusteltu. Iso piha ja uima-allas olivat luksusta. Huvilan sijainti on todella hyvä, se on omassa rauhassaan, mutta silti lähellä rantaa ja esim. Haniaa. Ihanan pienen Galataksen kylän keskusta on kävelymatkan päässä ja kävimmekin siellä usein. Siellä on muutama taverna ja supermarketti ja todella kaunis kirkko. Maria ja Yannis olivat erittäin ystävällisiä ja auttavaisia. Olen varma, että palaamme vielä uudestaan joku päivä Villa Valliaan. <br><br> We spent two wonderful weeks in Villa Vallia on June-July. The villa is very beautiful, clean and well equipped. The big garden and the pool were luxury. The location of the villa is very good, the area is peaceful but still near to the beach and Chania for example. The center of the lovely little village of Galatas is in walking distance, and we visited it many times. There are few tavernas and supermarkets and a very beautiful church.<br> Maria and Yannis were very friendly and helpful. I'm sure we'll return some day to Villa Vallia.”

“Spacious and well equipped/looked after villa. The views in the evening are spectacular, and the garden well maintained. The pool is a nice size and felt warm enough at all times, although it is the same depth throughout, so if you have young kids you may want to supervise them more closely than normal. The villa itself was extremely comfortable, and with the breeze from the mountains we didn't need to use the air conditioning except a couple of very hot nights. Fly nets on all doors and windows were great at stopping unwanted night bites. The only thing we found was that noise travels from the villa next door, and felt that it was intrusive some of the time. The pool area is also overlooked from the other villa, although the owners have planted trees to grow into the space to give that extra privacy in the longer term. A really nice place to set yourself up if you want to travel out to the west side of Crete. ”

“The villa was just what we needed. Normally when you arrive at your holiday accomodation there is something you are let down by but this was not the case here; it was as described.<br><br> Be prepared for a walk back from town but we didn't mind it and it was worth it for the views. Pool and the area was fantastic as was the bbq. Lots of outside seating for different times of the day.<br><br> Only quarms are: wifi wasn't great so we had to use our mobiles. Couldn't get the downstairs air on to work, couldn't find a safe, as it was so remote we were conscious of security, especially with 2 young children, better security would have helped this.”
