“Nous avons passé une semaine dans la villa IRIS qui est vraiment très réussie, très confortable et tout à fait conforme à la description du site. La piscine est géniale, la vue sur les montages et la mer est belle et les propriétaires extrêmement gentils et serviables. La localisation de la villa nous a semblé idéale car bien en retrait de quelques kilomètres de la route principale qui longe les plages et les localités très touristiques et n'est finalement pas très loin de Xania (25 minutes). Elle est aussi bien située pour les excursions vers les plages de l'ouest et du sud ouest et les gorges de Samaria.”

“We stayed in the Anthos Villa in July and would highly recommend it. Location is super, very quiet and with a stunning sea view. Due to the location theres always a nice breeze, so even in middle of summer its very pleasant. and not too hot. The Villa is furnished to high standards, the pool excellent and the agency handled it perfectly, also very friendly staff. Last but not least, Crete is a fantastic island and the beaches are great.”

“Our 2 week experience at the Metochi Villa was just perfect. Everything was just first class. The house, the furnishing, the equipment and service is without any doubt 5 star rating. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated and fully equipped. The pool and the big terrace was just perfect to cater for our relaxing days. The barbecue and pizza oven outside ensured some delicious home cooked diners. The owners were adorable, very welcoming and always available if one needed anything or had any questions. The housekeeping, garden and pool maintenance was organised by the owner twice a week. The house was perfectly located on a quiet hillside surrounded by olive groves, a 5 minute drive from the local village and with plenty to do and visit in the area........ just a dream Holiday. There was however one major problem............... 2 weeks was too short. We should have stayed 1 more week.”

“We stayed here the first two weeks in July 2013 to celebrate a 60th birthday in a special way with family. On arrival we could not have been more pleased with the villa as it surpassed all expectations. The accommodation was extremely spacious, very well equipped and comfortable (beds included!). As the villa is situated at the top of a hill, it afforded huge panoramic views of the ocean, the village and the mountains behind ....which even the local taxi drivers found breath taking! Memories to cherish forever. It is owned by a local family who renovated it in 2010 to a very high spec. Stavros, Stella and son George were extremely welcoming, helpful and could not do enough for us, with gifts of fresh eggs and oranges. All this contributed to us having a very enjoyable holiday here. We would not hesitate in recommending this villa, and would definitely stay here again if another family celebration arises in the future. Top marks for lovely gifts on departure...we were very touched.”

“We had two very nice weeks at Villa Keronia this summer! I must admit that we were a bit sceptical to book our villa online, but Chania Rentals were very professional, and we felt safe and good taken care of all the way. We were in Villa Keronia the two first weeks of July. When we arrived, a very nice couple met us at the villa. We were shown around, and were stunned both by the space and the design. It was all very good! (And we are a bit picky!) Everything worked very well in the villa. We are two families with small children (aged 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7) and the villa was very suitable for us. The only place where we were a bit afraid for the youngest child was on the terrace, because the "fence" was quite low. But both the garden and the house are very family friendly. We spent many days by the pool (excellent!!), but became very fond of the beach Almyrida as well. (Small and child friendly - but also nice waves for a bit of surfing). Some of us walked to the beach (about 3 km), but we recommend renting a car. There is just a short walk (200 m?) to the local store, and we went there every morning for fresh bread etc. But for larger shopping (for barbequing etc) we went to Chania. All in all a very good vacation!!”

“The house was big enough for two families. We were four adults and four children. Nice outdoor enviroment. The view from the balcony and from the rooms were stunning. The size of the pool was big enough both for children and adults. The only negativ what we could think of was the steep shortcut to walk down from the house to the beach and shops. We felt it was a bit long to walk the way around so we took the shortcut. I would suggest that you built som stairs to make it easier to take the shortcut. This would make it feel much more closer to the beach and the other resturants and shops. The house had a good standard and we were all very pleased with the stay. The mattrasses were a bit too hard for Scadinavian people. ”

“Dear G and A, many thanks for a wonderful stay. The villa was just perfect thanks to all your care and attention to detail. We had a marvellous 14 day stay and we will certainly be back again. With best wishes, Tim and Caroline and our huge family. ”

“We went for 8 days to Gavalochoro a small town between Rethymno and Chania. We stayed with two families in total 9 persons. The villa is great. Nicely situated close to gavalochoro and offers an excellent holiday experience with a nice pool and a terrace with a great view on the white mountains. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Not every sleeping room has airco but we had no problem sleeping at night. Thanks also to Anestis who welcomed us at exact the time we agreed and to the cleaning ladies who really used their creativity to make the beds in a pleasant way.”

“Villa Kourkoulios is a great place to stay, we spent a very nice week there in July. Very quiet in a charming village just 20 mins from Chania, it is also a great starting point to explore the region. The villa is tastefully renovated, very well equipped, and very clean. The outside is very nice and comfortable with a barbecue pit and a private pool with a breathtaking view on the mountains and valleys around. The owners are very hospitable and speak perfect English. We warmly recommend villa Kourkoulios.”
