“With 11 friends, we rent the Villa George during August 2011 and had the best time of our life. The villa is beautiful, quiet, and we didn't miss anything. Watching the sun rise from the swimming-pool is an experience we will never forget. We highly recommend it !!! ”

“We spent a fantastic awesome week in Villa Laina. The house is beautiful and it has every comfort, every things. It's very big, very clean and it's perfect for a family or for friends. Outside the house there is a pool and a barbecue, we enjoy it one day, when the weather was very very windy. The holiday was great, we miss!thank you”

“We had a very good time in Giana villa. Everything is welle organized in the house bed rooms, kitchen and a great barbecue. The garden and the grape yard at disposal of the residents , great .The situation of the house on a small hill, during hot summer is giving some fresh air. The owner is very kind and comming twice a week for external arrangement. The only point is wifi not working well, but we are in vacations. We where six people during three weeks in august, i think we will be back in Giana if a new chance for Creta.”

“We had a fantastic holiday in the first 2 weeks of September. The villa is not done justice by the photos. It is clean and spacious and the grounds are beautiful and secluded with an amazing swimming pool and plenty of room outside to eat drink and relax. The town of Melame its self is very basic and not much to shout about but there are mini markets within walking distance and larger supermarkets down the road a bit where you can stock up on whatever you need. There is also a great local butcher where we got some gorgeous meat for the BBQ for a very good price. We highly recommend you visit him. We would suggest that you rent a car as there are plenty of places to go and things to see a short drive away, like Chania itself and the picturesque Old Harbor and the beaches at Elafonisi. We also spent a day’s horse riding in the mountains at Deres (there are leaflets in Villa) which is also highly recommended. Our best days however were spent lazing around the pool in the sun relaxing and taking life easy We would recommend the villa to all types of people from couples like us to families and groups of friends. ”

“We spend a beautiful journey at Clio villa! What could you expect more than to wake up every morning in front of mediterranean amazing seascape, swimming into your private pool and by ending each day looking at wonderful sunsets!! Very nice people there! What are you waiting to get the experience? ”

“Dear Sr, Madam, I quick word to say that Danae Villa is a beautiful house in which all inhabitants live peacefully, in a modern and very well equipped house. Thus the view is unique, and the area offers calm days as well as exciting night in Platanias. Close to the numerous beautiful beaches and lagoons, the house gives renters opportunities to enjoy many activities. To finish with, I would add that the owner was really welcoming, helpful, and friendly. Kind regards, Alexis”

“Beautiful stone house, beautiful view (sea, olive trees, moutains). Comfortable and easy to live in. It was really hot this last summer but with the terace exposed to the north, it was possible and cool to spend time outside : to eat, to read or to swim. Or just to look at the landscape. One day, for sure, we will come back !”

“Location impeccable, que ce soit pour la maison, l'accueil ou la situation géographique. La maison est isolée et très au calme. Vue mer sur falaise et coucher de soleil! Maison très bien équipée. Très grande terrasse avec piscine. Plages variées et nombreux restaurants à proximité ( trois minutes de voiture). Pour avoir pas mal visité la Crète, je peux vous conseiller cette destination, c'est vraiment, vraiment un excellent point de chute.”

“We are three families used to travel around together as a group of 12 people, 6 of which are teenagers; we had a very nice 10 days stay in the villas and really enjoyed the site and the beautiful landscape, the pretty large swimming pools and quietness of the location. It was very nice to have a peaceful dinner in the outside veranda with a wonderful view after a day spent at the seaside! Housekeeping and maintenance status were generally good. The location definitely requires to have a car for moving and is recommended for families or groups seeking a quiet environment in the country and self catering facilities. ”

“Villa and Grounds were of a very high standard with lots of space for our familly of 5 with differing age groups. Cleanliness was spotless and had all the amenities to ensure a very comfortable stay. The rooms within the Villa were spacious with plenty of storage facilities.The owners could not be any more helpful and friendly on arrival at the villa. During our stay, the electric power supply tripped very late at night and after a call to request help the owner appeared within the hour to remedy. Excellent service. The benefit of both sunny and shady areas of the garden made staying around the villa a very pleasant experience with the added bonus of the most stunning views accross the bay. Pool was just the right size and temperature and again spotlessly clean. The village itself had local supermarkets which had adequate supplies . The local tavernas were situated in the village centre which were a 3 minute walk, and served local as well as well as pizzas and pasta dishes all at reasonable prices with staff very friendly. As stated in the accomodation details a car is essential for exploring the area beyond the village. Chania City centre and harbour area well worth the visit as well as the many beaches commercialised and quiet dotted along the coastline. Almyrida the closest beach village is reallly pleasant and we particularly enjoyed the spaciousness of the beach, the facilities of sunbeds and parasols, the sandy beach with gradual sea depth made it a perfect beach resort for families. We particulary enjoyed the shoreline restuarants with sunset views which were stunning. We are the type of family that rarely returns to the same accomodation but will seriously consider returning to this Villa in future years and will recommend highly to our friends and family.”
