“This villa was perfect for our two week family holiday. The villa itself is spacious, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Stella and her team made us very welcome with supplies in the fridge when we arrived and a few delicious gifts from the bakery during our stay. The pool was pefect for our two young children (7 & 9). The pool house and veranda provides shade all day. The location is right on the edge of the village with virtually no passing traffic. You can easily walk to a wide variety of tavernas, shops and the beach. We hired a car which we would recommend so that you can explore this beautiful region. This villa is highly recommended. We will definitely be returning to Crete again. ”

“Spent 2 fantastic weeks at Mouri Villa, enjoying eating/BBQing at home or dining out locally. The villa looks a bit out-of-the way, but worth it for the location. Once you get used to the route, the National Road is only 15 mins away. Definitely need a car to get about, as you are well placed for Kissamos, and visiting the south towns and beaches of Elafonisi and Paleochora (stunning beaches and sunsets) Recommended trips - Agia Sofia, Topolia Gorge (if Samaria seems a bit too epic), boat trips to Gramvousa and Balos Bay, Falasarna beach, and Chania. The villa is very clean and well kept, with wi-fi, A/C and an unheated pool that was very refreshing in the summer heat. Table-tennis was a very big hit with the teenagers. Owners Mikelios (?) and wife made us very welcome and brought food every time they came. General location/facilities - not much happening in Mouri (a few walks), some small mini-markets and taverns along road to Kissamos, where you will find a few good supermarkets and quite a few shops. Tavern in Kaloudiana (opposite big tree at T-junction) very good, as are the taverns on the beach front at Kissamos. Definitely would recommend the villa to a family/group - just remember to arrange car hire.”

“We feel that we will only be repeating the comments of others who have stayed here, but it truly lives up to expectations. From the villas location, to the superb facilities throughout, we honestly could not find fault, and had a brilliant holiday with every comfort you could wish for. To be met at the villa with local goods, to chat with the owner and be given a few local tips as where to visit and eat, was a really nice touch,(thank you Stella).<br><br> As a family, with four teenagers, the location worked for everyone, with ample space to relax around the pool, or stroll down to the beach.<br><br> This was the first time that we didn't hire a car on holiday, and we pre booked a mini bus from the airport both ways, and used the superb, air-conditioned coaches to visit Chania, which is a beautiful day/night out.<br><br> Our holiday was a total success, although we could have stayed a lot longer! We hope to return again, and would recommend this wonderful home to allow you to enjoy your Greek holiday.”

“Highly recommended, a wonderful base to discover Crete. Very nice house, quiet and beautiful surroundings, ideal to relax far away from home. Yorgos is one of those owners that makes you feel at home right away. We enjoyed every minute spent in Villa Karina. Don t miss it.”

“The villa was perfect and very well looked after with a cleaning service twice a week. The kitchen was well stocked and we loved using the outside BBQ. The pool was clean and warm - my 4 year old son was swimming by the time we left. All the bedrooms have ensuite facilities and balconies. It's a great spot if you want to get away from it all with a beautiful view. If you want to go exploring its easy to check out the south west of the island which is unspoilt with stunning coastlines and sunsets. Despina and Manos were incredibly hospitable and had thought of everything to make our holiday as relaxing as possible. I'd recommend this villa to all my friends and family and would go back in a heart beat. A wonderful 2 weeks - thank you so much!!! ”

“I stayed in margarita villa 2 in June 2014 with my partner and 2 children we had an amazing week the villa was everything we expected and more. We arrived late in the evening and margarita was there to greet us. We will definitely be returning to this villa we have stayed In a few villas in Crete but this one is by far the best. The children enjoyed themselves we had a very relaxing luxurious week in this villa, highly recommended!! ”

“Chania Rentals have been the most efficient and helpful rental firm, answering questions and making recommendations by return emails. Maleme Villa is fantastic...perfect for our holiday with teenagers and young adults. Very clean, well equipped and wonderfully kept swimming pool.Everything you need in walking distance;beach, tavernas,bus stop and supermarket. Easy to use buses, and fun to hire bikes too. Lovely treats from owner on arrival, and wonderful to have cleaner midweek. Highly recommend it...we shall return!”

“We had high expectations after having seen the pictures of the house and the read the descriptions, but reality overtoped our expectations. The house was like a small castle, beautifully designed, exquisitely furnished and perfectly functional. The view over the sea was wonderful and the house pool area was perfect. It was wonderful to pick wine grapes next to the house and to sit on bar chairs around the gridiron and look at the sunset. Our hosts were fantastic and arranged everything to be just like we wanted. We were very impressed by the house being cleaned up thoroughly twice a week and that everything was so carefully prepared. It was on a highest possible service level! We have rented houses earlier in several other countries, but this house and the nice treatment we received outmatched everything. We were 10 persons( aged 2 – 82 years) that during two weeks lived our dreams about the perfect family holiday. ”

“Dear all, My wife, my two daughters and myself have spent a wonderful week in Villa Marina, in Crete. It was magic! My only regret is that the holiday in this magnificent property ended (for this year!). Marina Villa and its owners are just special! I have only good things to say about. The property is located in a beautiful and quiet area, close to the beach (5 minutes by car), very clean, very chic, with barbecue, well kept lawn. The pool is perfect for the kids. We will definitely be back next year!!!”

“We rent a villa every year, somewhere around the world, for our family holidays. This villa is definitely one of the best we been to. Spacious, modern, well equipped and with great view. The nearby beaches is not much to see, but there are other things worth mentioning; the old olive tree (not the tree itself really, but the restaurant was super good), the winery that is just a few kilometers away. Great wine! A trip to Balos is to be recommended and also the cemetery for the German parachutes who were massacred on Crete during the second world war. We would like to point out one thing NOT TO DO. DONT ORDER FOOD from the restaurant in the village! Bad, bad food, nothing tasted good and the wine was not drinkable. Dont go there! The owner of the villa might recommend this place as ”genuine”. Don’t belive her, it’s not true! The place is not even worth a quick stop! tasted good and the wine was not drinkable. Dont go there!”

“I stayed at Vaso with 6 friends of mine and we had a lot of fun. We only stayed two nights, since we stayed at another Villa most of the time. This villa is only built for 6 people, our 7th friend slept on the couch for two nights. Keep in mind that the place is not that big - so if 6 adults want to stay there, it could be quite tight. Personally I think that this place is perfect for families with children. Overall: + Nice view + Nice owners + Clean house + Good quality of the house - Rental cars are necessary, since the distance to the sea is too high too walk - No taverns/restaurants reachable without cars”
