Rural Stone Villa with private pool and mountain views near local sandy beaches!
Our villa is located in a very tranquil and relaxing environment which is typical of the Cretan rural landscape. It has been built with local stones and wood with special attention to detail. Based mainly in the traditional Cretan architectural style, it also offers modern facilities and comforts providing the best you can expect from a fully operational house. It is totally children friendly as it is surrounded by a big gated open space.
Outside There are many outdoor places where you can relax and enjoy the sun or the sweet summer breeze at nights, staring at the stars in the sky. We have catered for providing various seating areas all around the villa as well as 4 pergolas for shade (2 upstairs and 2 downstairs by the pool). The pool is available all year round and is maintained twice a week. 5 sunbeds and 2 umbrellas equip the area around it. There is also a bbq for an additional option of cooking meals and spending quality time together.
Inside The interior of the house is very convenient and cosy. On the ground floor there is a kitchen, a living area, a twin bedroom , a bathroom and a small storage. In particular, the kitchen is fully equipped with a big fridge, cooker, built-in dishwasher, microwave oven, coffee maker, toaster and all the cooking utensils and cookware. In the living room there is an antique dining area, satellite TV and a fireplace which is operational during winter months. The bathroom downstairs has an enclosed shower and there is a washing machine in the wardrobe outside the bathroom. The bedroom on this floor has 2 standard sized single beds which can become a king sized bed upon request. A french door opens up to the pool area and allows tons of light to come in. A wooden staircase leads to the upper floor where there is a master bedroom, a single bed bedroom and a bathroom. Both bedrooms have balconies where the view of the mountains and the trees takes your breath away. The whole house has access to free unlimited wifi and hot water is always available. There is air-conditioning in all bedrooms.
Location Apart from the house itself, the location is central enough to anything. The nearest beach, Ombrogialos, is a -5- minute drive away while other popular sandy beaches are from 10 to 20 minutes away. The historical cities of Chania and Rethymno are less than an hour drive. Other villages with handy shops with local products are just 2 to 5 minutes away. You can also find some traditional tavernas in great proximity offering delicious Cretan dishes in reasonable prices. In general, our first and foremost priority is offering our guests a delightful experience combined with the feeling of being at home and that is why we always do our best to be immediately responsive to our guests' needs and questions. We always welcome our guests and we can be contacted anytime.

The location is lovely - close to beaches and towns and a 20 min walk to local village with a couple of great restaurants.
The villa has everything we needed including amazing views and it was incredibly peaceful.

Really good. Nice and clean. Hostes are really Nice.
We had a wonderful week at this villa. Everything as described and the photos don’t do it justice. What a setting! Struggling to think of any negatives…..won’t go wrong booking here.
Property was great, in a secluded spot with wonderful views of the mountains. Plenty of Tavernas and restaurants nearby. The people of Crete are so friendly and this is also a good location for visiting other areas of Crete. Maria Anna the owner of the property was brilliant, friendly and helpful . Definitely a five star venue for us
We had a very happy 2 weeks at Villa Palleloni. Marianna was so helpful and quickly answered any questions we had. She even arranged for a local garage to come to the villa a repair a slow puncture which was amazing! The villa had everthing we needed and was in easy reach of a wide range of things to do and see.
Lovely pool, well equipped villa and kitchen. Enjoyed sunsets in Almyrida. Friendly host. Useful car port. Nice outside BBQ and sofa area next to pool.
Property was well equipped with everything you can need. Stunning views that you could never get tired off.
Had some issues but these were resolved with communication from owner.

Lovely experience from start to finish
My family of 5 had a great week at this villa. After a delayed flight and late arrival, Vagelis was waiting nearby to help us find our way. It was so nice to have a few starter groceries in the fridge and the pool was so amazing that we jumped right in even though it was after midnight. The villa was well-appointed and comfortable. Kids loved the wifi! A fantastic week.
The villa is very comfortable and has everything you need. We arrived in the middle of the night so locating the keys was a little challenging as there are two ways of getting into the property, but we got there in the end! 😊 Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and its location is good for beaches and local restaurants. Having been to the area before it worked well for us. Missing it already!
We spent 3 great days at this property. When we arrived, we were greeted with brushetta in the refrigerator, bottle of wine, bread, olive oil and other items. We could put our feet up after a long journey and relax. Our property manager, Marianna, was wonderful and helped us recommendations of places to eat. We loved the local restaurant that Marianna recommended. Although during the day we were gone, we came "home" to a quiet restful place with a pool and beautiful view. Definitely a five star stay and would love to go back someday and stay longer!
As soon as we arrived at the property we were delighted with what we saw! It is very spacious and well laid out. 3 good sized bedrooms although we only used the double with the most amazing view of the white mountains.We were woken every morning by the local rooster and as soon as we opened the balcony doors the view was breathtaking each and every morning!The pool was the cleanest we’ve ever experienced in a villa.The bbq was great which we used twice.The restaurants locally served the most delicious traditional Greek food we’ve ever had!We absolutely fell in love with this beautiful little corner of Crete and will definitely be back!
Das Haus ist zu empfehlen. Wir waren 4 Erwachsene. Die Gastgeberin war sehr bemüht. In den 2Wochen wurde 2mal das Haus geputzt Der Pool wurde ganz oft gereinigt.Also gepflegte Unterkunft Man braucht natürlich ein Auto Wir waren sehr zufrieden kann es nur empfehlen
Unsere Erwartungen wurden bei weitem übertroffen. Angefangen von einem Willkommenspaket (kalte Getränke im Kühlschrank und kleine Snacks) waren die Eigentümer immer gut zu erreichen und hilfsbereit. Die Villa wurde nach 3 Tagen gereinigt und es gab saubere Handtücher und Bettwäsche. Zum Abschied gab es Olivenöl von den Olivenbäumen der Anlage als Geschenk :-). Wir waren sehr zu frieden. Auch die Ausstattung der Villa war überdurchschnittlich und Alles war sehr gepflegt. Vielen Dank noch einmal für die tolle Zeit!
Das Haus befindet sich auf einem sehr großen abgeschlossenem Gelände mit 3 weiteren Häusern. Die Häuser sind dann nochmals in einzelne Grundstücke aufgeteilt. Die Anlage befindet sich mehrere 100m über dem Meeresspiegel. Man hat von den Balkonen einen Wahnsinnsausblick über das Tal bis in die Berge. Die Anfahrt dorthin ist über die Serpentinen und kleineren Dörfer beim 1. mal sehr abenteuerlich aber auch super interessant. Zum nächsten größeren Seebad Georgioupoli braucht man mit dem Auto ca.20 min. Dort ist ein toller Strand mit Liegen. Diese waren oft kostenlos, wenn man sich an der Bar ein Getränk gekauft hat. Nach Rethymno und Chania dauert es ca. 40 Minuten. Beides sehr schöne Städte mit viel Geschichte. Das Haus war sehr sehr sauber und super ausgestattet. Bei unserer Ankunft stand für uns frisches Obst, Brot und ein Sekt bereit. Der Pool wurde nach 4 Tagen gereinigt und die kompletten Handtücher einen Tag später gewechselt.( Beides wurde vorher über Whats App angekündigt) Wir hatten 2 Telefonnummern die jederzeit erreichbar sein sollten. Diese haben wir aber überhaupt nicht gebraucht, weil wirklich alles perfekt war. Das Haus ist sehr sehr empfehlenswert. Vielen Dank an Marianna für die Grundlage eines schönen Urlaubes. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt
Belle propriété située à la campagne accessible par les petites routes sinueuses typique de la Crête. Les informations fournies par Marianna ont été très utiles.
Der Aufenthalt war wirklich wunderbar. Viel Platz und ein atemberaubender Blick auf die Berge. Marianna hat alle Wünsche schnellstmöglich erfüllt und mit vielen, vielen Tipps und Informationen alle irgend möglichen Bedürfnisse abgedeckt.
Das Haus ist genau so wie beschrieben - ein Traum. Es ist alles da, was man braucht. Der Blick aus dem Schlafzimmer im Obergeschoss auf die Berge ist wundervoll. Marianna ist eine sehr gute Gastgeberin, es hat alles funktioniert, sie ist immer erreichbar und erfüllt alle Wünsche. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gern wieder.
Just returned from a fabulous 2 weeks stay at Villa Paleloni. Marianna the owners communication before and during the stay was brilliant with lots of information to help us find the villa, restaurants etc in the surrounding area and things to do.
The villa was spotlessly clean and very well presented with absolutely everything you needed…..kitchen utensils and amenities the best in any villa that we have stayed in.
A lovely enclosed shower downstairs with plenty of hot water.
The outside was brilliant with 5 sun beds, 2 umbrellas, a huge pool, loads of room to lay around the pool and sunbath, outside seating area in the shade and a huge fantastic BBQ which we used at least 6 times during our stay.
The villa itself is in the perfect location……in the hills overlooking the breathtaking mountains and so peacefully quiet with just the wonderful sound of the sheep’s bells in the distance.
When we arrived Marianna had also left a welcome pack of water, 2 packs of Cretan biscuits, olive oil, a bottle of wine and a basket of fruit containing apples, peaches, nectarines and bananas which was a lovely touch.
Included in our stay the pool was cleaned at least 4 times and the pool man was lovely. Also the villa was cleaned twice and we even got to meet the lady who cleaned and she was so friendly and polite.
If you are looking for a holiday in a place just like home, private, quiet and so relaxing in a beautiful setting then I would definitely recommend Villa Paleloni.
Marianna is the perfect host…..leaves you to enjoy your holiday but also there at the end of a mobile should you need help or just ask anything.
Thank you for the perfect stay
