“Me and my girl friends stayed at Villa del Sole for our graduation holiday and we couldn't have had a better time! The villa itself is amazing, nicely decorated and clean, not to mention the incredible views and scenery. The owner Stelios was also very friendly and helpful and organised our transport from the villa into Chania as we did not have a car. I couldn't recommend Villa del Sole more!”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our family stay at Io Villa over Easter break! The house is beautiful, in a idyllic environment: set on a hill amidst olive groves, looking out to the sea. Completely undisturbed. Our children enjoyed the pool very much. We enjoyed the fully-equipped villa. Local produce is excellent and with a car we had access to all the beautiful sites and beaches of Crete. The owners of the house are very kind and helpful. It was exactly the holiday we were hoping for. ”

“We had a wonderful holiday at Erato Villa. The owners could not have been more helpful or kind in making sure we had a great stay. The Villa was spotless and very well appointed, in fact the Villa looked brand new with every convenience. There was a lovely view from the verands onto the bay below. The pool was exceptionally well maintained and the owners always at hand for any advice or help. We have visited many countries at different times of the year and in different types of accommodation from small studios in Europe to 5* in the USA. I can genuinely say that this was one of the very best managed and most welcoming place that we have ever visited. We wish the owners a very good season which is well deserved and we shall certainly visit both Crete and the Villa Erato again.”

“The Maritina Villa is a great traditional Greek Villa. The house is entirely made of stone giving you the feeling of a very authentic experience. The location is very secluded surrounded only by Olive Trees and serenity. The house is very well appointed. The kitchen has everything you would possibly need. There is air conditioning, but we did not even need it due to the fabulous breezes created when you open all of the windows in the bedrooms. <br><br> When we arrived we were greeted by Manos, the owner of the house. He showed us around, gave us ideas of things to do in the area (plus wine, raki and olive oil!), then left us to ourselves. Upon departing, he gave us a parting gift of olive oil from his olive farm to take home with us. Our stay is exactly what you look for from a rental property: The feeling that you have someone to help you if need be, but, if you don\'t, all of the privacy you would expect. ”

“I was very impressed with the location and quality of the villa. It is exactly as shown in the pictures and is very well equipped. You do need a car, but not really a problem. It has a really beautiful view and is perfect for a family holiday. The only small improvements I would mention are perhaps some better lighting in the bathrooms which are a little dark. The rest is perfect, and the owner was very nice and helpful supplying initial food and drink for us arriving on a Sunday night. Many thanks. While peaceful throughout the week, it can get a little noisy on Friday and Saturday nights when the nice people of Crete let their hair down. Great Villa.”

“Wonderful villa with fantastic views of mountain, landscape and sea! Very well equipped and comfortable. Great pool area with a fabulous BBQ eating area. All bedrooms were large as were the bathrooms. The children absolutely loved the pool and the separate garden area. The villa was cleaned very regularly to a very high standard. Close to sea and many sightseeing opportunities, although the villa and pool area were perfect for lazy days!”

“This was such a great house for us! The owner was very kind and everything was like we were hoped. There were ten of us, seven adults and three children. Everyone fitted well! The pool area is spacy and offers magnificent views to the sea and Platanias village. Thank you very much!”

“Wir waren mit Tochter und Freunden insgesamt 8 Personen vom 01.05 bis 22.05.2013 hier. Ein neues sehr sauberes Haus in dem alles vorhanden war und jeder Wunsch erfüllt wurde. Es wurde 2 mal die Woche gereinigt und Wäsche gewechselt, wir wurden dabei immer mit Betten-Dekorationen verwöhnt ! Besonders erwähnenswert die Betreuung durch Herrn Anestis, seine Freundlichkeit, Hilfsbereitschaft und Ausflugsempfehlungen einfach toll ! Ein idealer Ort für Erkundigungen in jede Richtung. Ein kleiner Wermutstropfen sind die vielen bellenden Hunde im Dorf, trotzdem sehr empfehlenswert. Liebe Grüsse die Tiroler ! ”

“Our family, we, our childeren and grandchildern, (6 adults, 3 childern and a baby) had a very nice stay in the villa Del la Mare. It is wonderfull to swim in the pool and you see on one side the sea and on the other side the white mountains and the snow on the tops. The villa isvery nice and when you sit on the balcony you have a beautyfull sight over the sea till Chania. The surroundings are very nice, beautifull beaches, and Chania is very nice to walk around and eat. You can make a trip (walking) from the monestry till Stavros and further on you have the Imbress Gorge. We made also a trip in the white mountains near Amalos Plateau. There you have also the entrance to the Samaria Gorge. Recommanded is a boattrip to Balos Beach. So there is a lot for every one that part of Creta for everyone. ”

“Wir hatten erholsame Tage in der Villa, mit einem seher schönen Garten und Pool. Der Vermiter war seher freundlich und hilfsbereit . Die sauberkeit im Haus etspricht nicht ganz dem Deutschen standart deshalb auch nur vier Sterne. Wir würden gerne wieder in diesem Haus Urlaub machen. ”

“Just to say that we had the best time staying at Villa Keronia in Gavalochori. The Villa was superb, spotlessly clean and comfortable! The small village of Gavalochori is beautiful with the best taverna, Gavalianos, for miles around. Monica, the owner, is very welcoming and an excellent cook! Anestis, who looked after us was full of local knowledge and friendly as indeed were all the villagers. We will definitely be back, we might even bring our husbands next time!”
