“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.”

“Very wonderfull place with super view and lot of attention from thé penser George! Its à place to stay and return. Very cléan !!! ”

“Nous avons passé de magnifiques vacances à la villa Geana. Nous étions 11 personnes de tous âges et tout le monde a adoré. La villa est spacieuse, très bien équipée, très propre et idéale pour se reposer. Le jardin est magnifique et très bien entretenu et la vue sur la mer est tout simplement grandiose. Quel bonheur de se réveiller le matin face à ce paysage. Malheureusement à cette saison (fin octobre 2014) nous n'avons pas beaucoup profité des extérieurs et seuls les plus jeunes et les plus courageux se sont baignés dans la très belle piscine. De beaux souvenirs de vacances en famille, merci . ”

“We were three generations: grandparents, daughter and son-in-law, and three children aged 6.5 years, 4 and 2.5. The villa was ideal for us, quiet, but close enough to the seaside town of Georgiopolous and within walking distance of several tavernas down the hill where we often ate and, a short drive from Kournas where we also ate royally. The shallow, sectioned off part of the pool was great for the two youngest children, and the garden and balconies were pleasant to sit out in. Our host visited to make sure all was well and made us feel at home. We would recommend this villa without reservation and found Charnia Rentals to be helpful and efficient. Thanks for a great holiday!”

“I would like to start with a BIG THANK YOU for the little space of Heaven!!! Yes, the villa is more than you see on the picture. Is large, bright, modern, very clean, warm welcoming, same as the owners. In terms of cutlery, kitchen ware, glasses, has everything. Swimming pool is perfect for chill, the little one had her own play ground, the teenager has slept almost nights on the swing outside, men did BBQ, women enjoyed cocktails:))), and lots of music. Lie on the sun loungers on the night...you will feel between the stars...amazing!!! We had a little wedding party, only ordered food and drink and had a SUPER PARTY!!! I would highly recommend to come with your family and friends, and to enjoy a perfect holiday!!!”

“Wir benutzten das Haus im Oktober 2014. Grosseltern, Eltern und Kleinkinder. Die Lage war für uns so traumhaft schön, dass wir auch viel Zeit im Garten verbracht haben. Das Haus steht für sich, eingebettet im grosszügigen Garten und Hügeln. In der Nacht ist es ganz ruhig. Der Strand ist ca. 4-5 Min. per Auto erreichbar und sehr, sehr schön! Ganz empfehlenswert für kleine Kinder! Beste Betreuung durch die Besitzerin. Sie hat sich sehr Mühe gegeben, uns mit Ausflugstipps bedient und geholfen, unseren Rückflug zu organisieren. ”

“Wir (Grosseltern, Eltern und Kleinkinder) waren Gäste im Oktober 2014. Sehr freundlicher Empfang obwohl wir mit grosser Verspätung eintrafen. Ein Früchtekorb und Wein als Willkommensgeschenk. Sehr aufmerksam! Das Haus ist sehr grosszügig und tadellos sauber. Man hat genügend Platz, auch bei 6 Personen. Gut gefallen hat uns der Garten mit seinen Granatäpfelbäumen. Genügend Platz für die Kleinen zum spielen. Sehr geschätzt habe ich auch die Aufmerksamkeit, dass Luftmatratze etc. zur Verfügung standen. Zum Meer spaziert man in ca. 7 Minuten. Dort hat es dann einen Kieselstrand. Das Haus ist ideal gelegen, um die Westküste (Balos Strand, Elafonisi Strand) auszukundschaften. Ein Auto ist empfehlenswert.”

“Beautiful location, villa was equipped with everything needed. Weather cooled towards mid October but still braved the pool. Suggest some local information would be useful in folder, nearest shops, restaurants etc. We had visited area before but anyone new would take a couple of days to find best bakery,shops etc. Tavronitis was our favourite. Falasarna beach seemed to have sun when Xirokampi was overcast. Would recommend to anyone. We loved walking through olive groves, a walking map of 3 or 4 circular routes would be useful.”

“We spent a very relaxing two weeks at Metochi Villa in October. The villa is very well appointed, comfortable and well laid out. The owners were lovely and the villa was kept incredibly clean throughout our stay. The pool was a bit cool that late in the year, but we still used it! Fantastic views out over the bay in a quiet location, but still only five minutes from the main National Road. We were recommended a few places to visit by the owner, and all were worthwhile. The villa is in a great place to explore the west of Crete. Chania is only 15-20 minutes drive and there are plenty of shops and supermarkets local to the villa. Highly recommend trips to Chania, Rethimnon, Samaria Gorge and Knossos, and there are nice beaches at Elafonisi and Sougia if you don't mind a drive. Some nice tavernas in Tavronitis and surrounding villages for evenings. Lovely villa and would recommend it to anyone visiting Crete. If possible, fly into Chania airport, but it is only two hours away from Heraklion. A car is essential, so either airport is suitable.”
