“This is a really beautiful vila in an excellent location. It is in the middle of an olive grove, but only five minutes away from the nearest village (Malene), and ten from the bigger Platanias and Agia Marina. It has very nice views; you can see the sea and a beautiful countryside landscape. The house was spotlessly clean and the owners were very kind and helpful. The pictures in the website do not lie. ”

“Just came back from a lovely stay at Remvi villa in Chania. Great location, spacious well presented house and one of the best views I've ever seen! Only down side was my toddling baby constantly trying to climb the stairs but we managed to block them off with a sofa! Would recommend highly!”

“vi har kost oss kjempemasse i et nydelig hus med flott utsikt over Kretas koseligste by. Det eneste som trekker ned for vår del var alt for harde senger”

“My family and I spent a blissful two weeks at Villa Anemos in late July and early August. The view across Gavalochori village to the sea was simply stunning and the pictures on the website certainly do not do it justice. The villa itself was superb - well equipped and very comfortable. Your representative and cleaning staff could not have been more helpful - or generous. Many thanks for the tray of essentials and the gifts of cakes and olive oil later in our stay. They were much appreciated. Can't wait to make a return visit.”

“Wir waren die erste Juniwoche in der margarita Villa 2 und haben diese sehr genossen. Wir würden ein Leihauto empfehlen, da es ca. 2-3 km zur Shoppingmeile sind. Die Villa ist toll eingerichtet. Die Schlafzimmer sind sehr gemütlich und haben ebenfalls ein tolles Ambiente. Es gibt bei jedem Schlafzimmer auch ein WC und eine Dusche, wobei die Duschkabinen sehr groß sind. Die Terrasse ist außergewöhnlich schön und man hat einen tollen Blick aufs Meer, die Möbel sind sehr gemütlich. Der Pool ist ausnehmend sauber, glasklar und hat, so vermuten wir kein Chlor, was es auch nicht braucht, er reinigt sich ca. alle 2 Stunden für ca. 1 Stunde. Die Villa wird 2x/Woche gereinigt und die Betten werden ebenfalls wieder frisch bezogen. Wenn man nach Hause kommt, duftet das ganze Haus herrlich frisch. <br><br> Was noch besonders hervorzuheben ist, dass die Vermieterin Margarita ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit ist. Sie hat uns mit eigenen Cocktailtomaten und Äpfeln versorgt. Auch kann man bei Margarita eigene Eier bekommen. Alles in allem können wir diese Villa bestens empfehlen. ”

“Maleme House was a very comfortable base for our family holiday. It was well furnished & looked after. We particularly enjoyed the garden and pool. A suggestion to make the accommodation more comfortable is to improve the kitchen equipment. Local fruit and vegetables are delicious so part of our holiday enjoyment is to cook for ourselves. There is a good oven, dishwasher and lots of crockery and we would have appreciated better chopping boards, knives and other utensils. We expected to have young children with us and they would have had difficulty with the open staircases and different levels.”

“Hej Our holidays in Geana Villa were wonderful. The house is perfect and we all enjoy the house very much. We will certainly recommend it to our Danish friends. We have been seing a great part of Kreta, and everywhere we find this Island very very beautiful. We hope to see Kreta once more and we would also like tol visit Geana villa again.

“I did a lot of research before choosing Villa Joseph, reading the reviews and studying the pictures. What can I say! The pictures don't do it justice, the views are amazing, the villa is big and airy, the verandah perfect for evening meals. Fantastic place to stay.<br> We were late arriving and it was pitch black so took a wrong turn. John/Yanis came to the rescue and we followed his car to the villa.<br> In the morning what a surprise - breakfast to last the week, a bottle of chilled white wine, tea, biscuits, yoghurt and it didn't cost us a penny.<br> Our week was spent quietly, eating in most nights but we did venture out for a couple of meals. The first Taverna down the hill was fine, the view over the lake as the sunset was divine. The second Taverna down the hill, again the food good and a view to die for. <br> We took a pedalo out on the lake which can be recommended as a way to pass an hour, follow it with a huge ice cream sundae at the Taverna on the Lake edge.<br> A trip into Rethymno to the old fort was well worth it, again the views lovely, just make sure you take the new road and not the old one. The old road takes 40mins of very windy roads the new road takes 15mins in a straight line! Chania old town by the harbour is a lovely place but very busy with lots of restaurants touting for business. Good for people watching!<br> A great holiday. Can't thank Yanis/John enough for his care and attention. He brought us another bottle of wine mid week and then on the day we left brought olive oil, raki and biscuits for us. We enjoyed the pool, the gardens and the two feral cats who turned up everyday for food. The weather was perfect. The clear starry nights amazing.<br> The only niggle we had, although it's down to taste is the bed was too hard for us. We quickly made is perfect by putting a spare quilt under the sheet! They were no stem wine glasses as the locals seem to drink from tumblers so we bought a couple of stem wine glasses which we left behind for the next people.<br> First class!”

“We stayed at this villa for two weeks in May 2014 and we were wowed by the fantastic views and spacious, modern living accommodation. The villa seemed bigger and better than the pictures suggested and the area is quiet, green and beautiful. This is truly a special place. There was plenty of room for all the family. The cleaner came twice a week with a bed change and clean towels. <br><br> The pool is a good size and 2.5 meters at the deep end. The pool is not heated so the water was cool as early in the season, so not yet warmed up but we expected this. The weather was very warm so it was well used but the local beaches are so beautiful we made good use of these too. Ample pool towels were provided. There is a very good BBQ on the lower garden level.<br><br> We were disappointed by the weather in the first week as although sunny and warm it was extremely windy for 4/5 days and thought that this may just be a very windy spot. It’s not. Just unusual weather for the time of year. <br><br> A car is essential. Close by there are at least five beaches, all with beach bars/tavernas/sunbeds. The food is typically Greek and very reasonably priced. Food is more expensive at the Marina in Chania but expected. There is a small friendly supermarket in Stavros and Kounoupidiana is a 10 minute drive and has a selection of shops and a large Spar and Carrefour. Another 5 minute drive and you are into Chania. Our best meal was at the windmill on Stavros main beach, great food with a little more selection than usual and the setting was beautiful but we didn’t really have a bad meal anywhere. English was widely spoken and everyone was friendly and relaxed. <br><br> If you are thinking of booking this Villa, don’t hesitate, you will not be disappointed. ”

“Wir hatten eine wunderschoene Zeit, die Villa ist wirklich super, toller Pool Und sehr nette Gastgeber, kleiner Minuspunkt:die Betten sind zu hart.”
