“Paradise! No other words to explain this beautiful Villa. Thought it was too good to be true but it most certainly wasn't. Our first time to Greece and we were not disappointed. The Villa has everything you could possibly need - and more. (Except for a heated pool but it's nice once you're in)<br><br> My husband and I (34&38) traveled with our 3 children (14, 11 & 3) and mother in law (60) w/c 14th April for 1 week. Weather was glorious despite the forecast predicting rain. There was none.<br><br> Suitable for all ages, the only snag would be the depth of the pool with not very confident swimmers. <br><br> We shopped at INKA & Lidl, filled the cupboards and fridge and had BBQ's a couple of nights. We also ate at The Roadhouse Pub & Grill which served excellent American food and fantastic steaks.<br><br> A car is very necessary, it's quite a distance away on foot to the nearest beach or shop.<br><br> The owner stayed in the next villa so any problems we could go over and tell him, he was over right away.<br><br> I have only been back in the UK 12hrs and I'm looking to book again. You have to literally see it to believe it. I've never been so sad to leave such a beautiful place.<br><br> Just have to add, if you dread returning to mounds of washing then threat no more, all my washing done before I left so the whole holiday was stress free from start to finish ;-)<br><br> Go on, get it booked. You won't be disappointed X ”

“We stayed at Metochi for a week - and we couldn't have been happier. The villa is amazing, the views breathtaking, the weather perfect, the food delicious, the beaches beautiful, the countryside stunning - we can't fault a thing. Manousos and his family have created a fabulous holiday home - well equipped, clean, fab pool and outdoor area, lots of room in the house and the rooftop terrace is great for catching those last rays. We fell in love with Chania and we'll definitely be back.”

“The villa was beautifully presented on top of the hillside with amazing views down to the cost and across to the snow capped mountains. The boys loved the pool and the Dad's the Barbecue area. Everybody enjoyed the town of Chania. Villa Company and owners service was excellent, and I would definitely recommend using both. thank you ”

“Thank you so much to Katerina and George for a wonderful, wonderful holiday. We could not have been made more welcome by our generous and considerate hosts. The villa was just what we were after. Plenty of space, everything you could wish for a really comfortable stay and well set up so that you can follow or hide from the sun all day long. Pick your own lemons, make yourself a drink and sit on one of the balconies or poolside to enjoy the view over the sea. Great having the supermarket a short walk away and everything you need available in Kalyves a few minutes drive away. The villa was great for exploring both the north coast and heading into the mountains and villages inland. By the end of the holiday we felt truly spoilt and would happily recommend the villa and its lovely owners. It is really well located to head into Chania and we advise at least one trip to the gorgeous Winter Cinema - Iroon Politechniou str - a 1940s cinema where films still come with a mid-show intermission. Overall a wonderful stay for us and our two young boys. Thanks again for making us so very welcome and all the wonderful gifts. ”

“This is a really amazing villa. It is well equipt, beautifully furnished and kept. The garden and patio areas are in a lovely west facing position. We were 2 large families and there is more than enough space for 11 people. The games room in the basement is great for kids to escape to. Gavalachori is a really lovely quiet village fully of Cretian charm, the villagers are very helpful and friendly and there are 2 lovely restaurants, particularly Monica's in the main square. It is very close to Almyrida but this is not a walk (but a good run) so you really need a car for this Villa, to get about and see the Island. Anestis, who looks after the villa, could not have been more helpful, with great local advice. We had a few problems with the villa, I think we were the first guests of the season, and had some awful stormy weather, so mostly related to these things, but Anestis was very much on hand to deal with anything that arose. I would definitely recommend this villa to families or groups of families.”

“The villa is set in beautiful surroundings with views over both the sea and the snow-capped mountains. Margarita - the owner - is incredibly welcoming and so very kind. It makes all the difference to arrive somewhere new and be made to feel so welcome - there was a basket of Cretan specialities and a basket of eggs from her own hens. <br> The house is spacious, calm and spotlessly clean. It felt luxurious having 4 bathrooms for the 5 of us (!) and terrace area was stunning alongside the pretty pool.<br> All in all I'd highly recommend staying here for a family with teenagers - it worked really well for us. ”

“Our family of four adults and two children have just returned from a stay at Calma villa and we all agree what a beautiful place it is. The owner greeted us very cheerfully and nothing was too much trouble. The villa is light and airy with very comfortable beds which is always a bonus. We were recommended to a local restaurant just a few minutes walk away on our first evening which turned out to be a delight. If in Crete again we would certainly stay here again and wish the owners good luck in their venture and again many thanks.”

“We recently stayed at Villa Artemis and had an outstanding time. From the moment we arrived, everything was wonderful. The owner even brought his mother's moussaka on our second night followed by Easter home-baked biscuits on our last evening. Both were amazing. The views to the sea are spectacular and the villa is beautiful, set amongst the olive groves. Comfortable beds and superb facilities all made for a great stay. The fresh-water pool was also a revelation even though coldish at Easter! We shall be coming back! THANKS AGAIN. ”

“Can't find the words to describe how special the time in Crete, Chania, was for us, and the main reason is Joanna villa. We spent 3 weeks in the Villa. The house is absolutely perfect, excellent location, fully equipped, very clean and nice swimming pool, generaly: clean and welcoming atmosphere. We spent many times holiday in Greece, but this summer we will remember forever. Alexandra and Lefteris (the owners) were amazing... It felt like we were right at home. Unforgettable experience!!! Can't wait to come back:) ”

“We spend a week in Villa Nicolas the first week of april - 14. We found the Villa on the net and it did correspond very much seen on the photos of the Villa. Pay attention to the cooler/warmer that you set it right. The television was pretty hard to understand, we could not use it at all, but it did not matter. The house and the yard was clean and well taken care of, therefore we can recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet vacation, Ralph Degerholm”

“In september 2014 we've had a fantastic stay at Villa Markos. Very quiet and small village, breathtaking view on Chania and the sea from the terrace and (small) swimming pool, clean and modern villa.”
