Chania villas

This is a beautiful apartment, in a lovely quiet location, with a great swimming pool and lovely sea views. A car is necessary to get to the nearest amenities, but everything is just a short drive away. Cleaning and pool maintenance was provided three times a week and the hosts were friendly, responsive and very helpful. Would very much recommend!

Villa Palena is a lovely, spacious, light, bright property. It provided us wth everything we could have asked for, from comfortable en suite bedrooms to a superbly well-equipped kitchen, to a marvellous indoor games room and spa, to a beautiful pool and surrounding sunbathing area... and even a mini-football pitch! So, there was plenty on offer for every age group. Last but not least, we were made very, very welcome by the housekeeper and her staff, who could not have done more to make us feel at home and to keep the place spick and span!

A little gem. We would have liked to have stayed for much longer. Peaceful and quite and away from the beach hustle. Car essential, which made it all the better.

Fabulous Villa fabulous hosts who obviously gave a lot of thought to provide their guests with everything they could possible need ! Perfect location so close to bars and beach but without noise being heard from the villa

This gorgeous house has everything a family needs for a wonderful stay. We enjoyed spending time in the pool with lunches in the outdoor dining areas. While my husband and I exercised in the gym, our little ones could play with the children’s toys in the same area. The house is large with 4 bedrooms and everyone has their own restroom. We loved grilling outside and watching football in the family tv area. We also hired a masseuse and chefs to come to the house to really treat ourselves on holiday. Gorgeous beaches and delicious restaurants are less than 5 minutes away and other areas of Crete are easy to explore by car. We would definitely return!

I've just returned from Crete after staying in the villa for a week. It had everything we needed and a few extras too, such as bottled water, fruit, homemade raki, herbs, spices, coffee, tea, honey etc. The outdoor area was great for lounging around, but the beach was even better, with a few sun loungers exclusive to the owner's properties. The views were spectacular. Checking in was a simple process and Alex gave us a tour of the property on arrival. The owner was very welcoming and kind to us during our stay. We often saw him around the area. We stayed here in the quieter season (October onwards) so the temperature was perfect (25 Celcius) and the area was much more peaceful. I highly recommend this villa for anyone looking for a peaceful base with spectacular views and facilities. Thank you for making our stay comfortable and memorable.

What an amazing villa, and Mike, the manager, is the best host we have ever had. Nothing is to much trouble for him. Mike, we can't thank you enough. The villa itself is so clean. Aircon extremely efficient, and appreciated. Kitchen is very well equipped. Beds so comfortable, all with pillow and mattress protectors, sadly lacking at so many villas. Showers roomy with plenty of pressure. Top floor bedroom is amazing. All bedrooms are en suite, yet another plus point. There were 8 of us and we all agreed it was our best holiday ever! The price was so low for a villa of such excellent quality, with the bonus of a super swimming pool and enough loungers for everyone. There's everything you could possibly need here - several small beaches to choose from. A short bus ride to Chania, with bus stop almost opposite the villa. Decent bars and restaurants, with staff who remember you! Outdoor gym over the road. Supermarkets within walking distance. The list is endless. Thank you Mike for all your help in making this a 5 star holiday for us.

Amazing villa - pictures don't do it justice. Bit of a long walk to town, so maybe a hire car would have been good. Diana was an excellent host, and really helpful throughout the week. We had the best time!
