The outdoor area was a real highlight of the property, even better than advertised. The house is really nice with everything you need. The area has a few nice restaurants to choose from, and markets within walking distance. The sea is only 20 meters from the house, so snorkling in the clear water is a must. Overall a fantastic rental.

We can give nothing but 5 stars. We felt so welcomed and even though we arrived late in the evening the first day we were greeted welcome, and the landlord had even prepared some food for us. The surroundings and the villa were great. It was nice to stay in Vryses, a little bit outside the tourist areas. The pool was nice, there was a lot of sunbeds as well as tables and chairs on the property. There was also air-conditioning in all bedrooms and the main living room. Everything worked as expected and whenever we had a question or a request we got immediate answers or service. We received a service well over what anyone could expect. The landlord delivered fresh cheese (own production) to us as well and on the day where we wanted to cook pizzas in the pizza oven (a great outdoor kitchen with a BBQ and pizza oven) the landlord showed up and prepared the oven for us - and they even brought some Greek specialties for us (Kalitsounia). Even during checkout, the landlord was being extraordinary flexible. We felt welcome and appreciated all the time. Thanks a lot, to Villa Marianna and the family behind it! Our best and most sincere recommendations for this Villa Marianna. We will definitely come back again.

Villa Minoa, Marathi beach, all the nearby tavernas, and Crete itself - all exceeded our expectations. The villa was just wonderful- spacious, cool in the summer heat with a lovely shaded veranda to sit and while away an evening enjoying a local fish on the barbecue. We really appreciated being able to eat in some nights and eat out on others with our 3 grown children. The local tavernas are only a few minutes walk away and offer the best of Crete’s delicacies from land and sea. The beach was beautiful and the ability to have our own sun beds whenever we needed them was so appreciated. The sea was an amazing turquoise blue coloring, clear to the bottom with beautiful fish to watch whilst snorkeling. We also enjoyed the use of the villa’s paddle board. The location of Marathi is super too giving the opportunity for various day trips including of course Chania, Rethymno, Samaria Gorge, mountain tavernas, olive oil farms etc. And then of course there is Spiros - the host who cares deeply that all his guests have a wonderful holiday- delivering fresh figs every day for breakfast, and ensuring we lacked for nothing. We loved meeting him and all his feathered and furry friends - a more warm hearted man would be hard to meet, As a family we have had the good fortune to have many lovely holidays but this was definitely one of the very best! Thank you for everything Spiros!

We had a lovely vacation staying in one of George’s villas. There were plenty of room and space for 8 people, which was perfect. When we arrived to the villa, George’s mom had made a lovely Greek meal for us, even though we arrived very late at night - and George were there to welcome us. The pool area was beautiful, and the pictures of the house are very accurate in real life which we were very happy about. Such a great experience which me and my family can recommend. Also the area nearby the house was very nice. There was a bar called “versus” with very sweet staff, and people in the area was very kind and helpful. Therefore, we give the highest recommendation of the villas. Regards from family Stegmann, Denmark
