“Adriana Villa is great and garden and pool area is very nice and lush and has view to G-poli and sea. Location of the villa is good as Exopoli and G-poli are near and also national-road. It takes about 40 minutes to drive from Chania-Airport. Only small minus is the last hundred meters of the road to the villa. As modern cars have low ground clearance driving to the villa is little difficult with cars in full load. G-poli has many good value restaurants (Babis, Aposperida, Nostos etc) and has enough shops for other needs. G-poli has excelent bike rental (adventurebikes.org) if You like cycling. Owner is very friendly and reservation process with Chania Rentals is very smooth and professional. I can highly recommend Villa Adriana!”

“Ariella is exactly like in the pictures, very clean, modern and every bedroom has own bathroom. We loved the pool area. Kitchenware, plates and cups were enough for eight persons but there could be a few more cups for daily visitors. Blankets could have been a little bit thicker and a few more smaller pillows to choose from. Location is good. We walked to Agia Marina and back to the house once, but we recommend a car. We would definitely go again!”

“We very much enjoyed our stay in villa Neriana. The villa has a large garden full of orange trees. Every day started with fresh squeezed orange juice. Nice pool. Very friendly owner. Very warm welcome and always willing to help. We did nice excursions in the area, such as Balos, Phalasarna, Elafonissi and of course the Samaria Gorge. I can highly recommend this villa to everybody.”

“We spent a week at Gianna villa and really enjoyed it!! It's a wonderful place, peaceful like we were looking for. The house was clean and well fitted, the pool and the deckchairs were just amazing, so as the view, and the barbecue was perfect and very well-fitted. Also, the fact that we could pick a few vegetables from the garden was very appreciated. :-) We spent great breakfasts on the second terrace in front of the rising sun. Finally, the owner was very nice and welcoming and the welcoming package with local food at our arrival was very appreciated All that really helped us to feel comfortable and, above all: ON HOLIDAY!! :-) Gianna is definitely a place where we could come back without hesitate, ”

“The House was really cool. We had a great time and the owner family is really kind and helpful. Thanks a lot and we will definitely come back. ”

“The villa was perfect, exactly as described with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The gardens are typical Cretan olive groves & fruit trees. Kalives was a lively town within walking distance & the sea was gorgeous. Bonus of it being just over the road. It was lovely to lie in bed & hear the waves in the distance. The pool was good size and clean. The USP for Dionysus villa must be the owners. George & Katerina & their son Manolis were so kind & welcoming. Their English was good which helped when they were telling us all about the area & history of Crete. They showered us with gifts of food & wine every time we saw them. My only comment for improvement would be some slightly clearer instructions from the airport. the photos are good but not so helpful in the dark, plus only cover last 3 miles. Failing that use your sat nav on your phone to Kalives.”

“We stayed at Stema Villa for 2 Weeks in September 2014. At first we have to say we felt from the very beginning like Home. The welcoming of the Owners was very kind and also the rest of the time the Service was just awesome. They are really kind folks. The Villa has everything you need and it is just better than in the description. Also the Kitchen has everything what you need and it is really clean like the rest of the Villa. It is very roomy and there is also a terrace to the west where you can watch the sunset. The garden is so nice with all the different flowers and trees and fruits. It is so cozy. The backyard of the Villa where the Pool is, is totally private and so quiet. So you can stay there and relax like we did it. Also you have nearly the whole day sun in the backyard. We had great Holidays at Villa Stema and we be sure that we come back next Year. We can recommend that Villa to everybody. ”

“This villa is absolutely amazing. The view is something I close my eyes and remember to get us through the winter! Inside it feels very luxurious, marble staircases and a wonderful feeling of space. The pool is great, lovely loungers and stunning views from all of the villa. A definite plus for us is the pool table and table football - great family entertainment. The way it is set up with almost a flat in the basement (sadly lacking a toilet, shower room) is great for teenagers or a second (or third) couple. An easily walkable distance away are the tavernas and supermarkers. We particularly favoured Takis tavern, good food extremely generous hosts, free drinks etc. Almirida is walkable but hard work coming back up, there are taxis but would advise not leaving that too late in the evening, they tend to disappear. This was our second visit just this year and one word of warning - it's incredibly difficult to leave this place ”

“Having holidayed in many private villas with private pool this has to rank one of the best! The location is quiet and very private but a 5 minute walk to an excellent bus service into neighbouring Platanios and Chania. A 15 minute walk will take you down to the beach where there are several restaurants and bars all reasonably priced with fantastic views to watch the sun go down with a cocktail. The villa itself is spotlessly clean and as for the pool area there is nothing more to ask for as it is very secluded, clean and a real sun trap all day but with areas of shade if required. The owners are a delight and nothing is too much trouble as they wish you to have a truly relaxing holiday. Joanne even comes in during your stay to clean and provide fresh bed linen and towels. Very friendly and helpful. My wife and I cannot recommend this villa enough and aim to return in the future. ”

“We had our honeymoon in Vallia Villa -one of the best holidays we have ever had. Villa Vallia is clean, well equipped and comfortable. Very peaceful, secure and private in lovely, well maintained grounds and a wonderful, good sized pool. The surrounding villages were very good with very nice restaurants and lovely beaches.<br><br> The owners are very thoughtful and really care about your stay. We would thoroughly recommend the Villa to anyone and look forward to returning in the future. ”

“We stayed for 10 days and we had a great time at the villa. The owner of the house is friendly. In the villa the pool towels were missing, so we asked for pool towels and kitchen utensils, the owner brought the missing things. The Wi-fi connection was good, but the Wi-fi cannot reach the second floor. Overall good service, nice villa, clean and very spacious.”
