About this property
Petres villa 2,Private pool,Near tavern & Plakias
Petres 2 is a stylish, 100-square-meter villa nestled within a small complex of four exclusive properties, located on the outskirts of Mariou village in southern Crete. Just a short drive from pristine sandy beaches, this serene retreat offers breathtaking views of the South Cretan Sea and the surrounding natural landscape.
Designed on a single level, the villa features a bright, open-concept layout with a spacious living area. Relax on the large corner sofa or enjoy a meal at the dining table, all while gazing out at the private pool and sea beyond. A 55-inch TV with a Netflix subscription ensures cozy entertainment after a day of exploration.
The villa includes a fully equipped, modern kitchen, perfect for preparing meals with local ingredients. Two comfortable bedrooms accommodate up to four guests: one with a king-size bed (1.60 x 2.00 m) and the other with two single beds (0.90 x 2.00 m each), which can be joined to form a queen-size bed (1.80 x 2.00 m) upon request. Both bedrooms feature private en-suite bathrooms with contemporary finishes.
Amenities include full air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi throughout, and a private swimming pool (25 sq. m, 1.40 m deep) surrounded by outdoor seating and sun loungers—an ideal spot to soak up the sun and stunning sea views. Private parking is available directly in front of the villa.
A charming traditional tavern is just a short walk away in Mariou, while the vibrant seaside town of Plakias is only 4.6 km from the property, offering shops, cafes, restaurants, and water sports. The nearest beach, Damnoni, is just 3.5 km away and boasts crystal-clear waters and excellent facilities.
To make the most of this beautiful region and its hidden gems, a car is highly recommended.

The apartment is very comfortable and well equipped. We love the view over Plakias and the Libyan Sea.The beds are perfect.
Not only the cleaners, but also the pool man is doing a really good job.
Sun protection on the terrace: e.g. large umbrella or veranda.

Nice place with beautiful view
Overall very nice place, beautiful view, equiped kitchen, comfortable beds and sheets. 2 bedrooms with bathrooms so perfect for 4 People. Very sunny and comfortable, quiet area.
Apartment, especially pool, looks more modern on photos than in reality. Place was full of ants not only in the kitchen but everywhere even if we did not leave any food and tried really to have everything perfectly cleaned. The machine that filter water in the pool was very loud and smelled bad.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review our property. We are sorry you have experienced some inconveniences. We talked to the housekeeper and she will try his best for the future guests. We strive to make our guests happy and your satisfaction is the best reward for us. We hope to see you next time and offer you again an enjoyable stay!
Sehr gute Kommunikation mit der Verwaltung. Moderne hübsche Wohnung mit geschmackvoller und vollständiger Einrichtung. Sehr appetitlich sauber dank regelmäßiger Reinigung und Poolpflege. Unglaublich toller Blick rundum auf die Berge, Olivenhaine und das Meer. Sehr ruhig gelegen. Parkplatz direkt vor der Tür. Taverne fußläufig erreichbar. Für Aktivitäten ist ein Auto empfehlenswert. Kleiner Verbesserungswunsch wäre ein auch bei Wind nutzbarer Schattenplatz für 4 Personen auf der riesigen Terrasse. Der Sonnenschirm ist zu klein und eher nutzlos.Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Ausblick ist, wie auf den Fotos angegeben, unglaublich schön. Alles ist sehr großzügig - Pool, Terrasse... Und eine sehr gute Taverne ist in wenigen Minuten zu erreichen.

Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, unsere Immobilie zu bewerten. Wir freuen uns zu hören, dass Sie mit den Dienstleistungen von Oreo Travel zufrieden waren und Ihren Aufenthalt genossen haben. Wir wünschen, dass wir die Chance haben, Sie noch einmal auf Kreta begrüßen zu dürfen!!
De communicatie vooraf als wel op locatie was uitstekend.
Ter plekke netjes opgevangen, uitleg etc. Iedere ochtend de pool man en vuilophaaldienst. Om de drie dagen, bedwissel . Op aanvraag alles mogelijk.
Het huis is schoon, netjes en alles toegankelijk.
Redelijke privacy in tuin/zwembad.

Wunderschöne moderne Villa mit super Aussicht und schönem Pool
Wir waren schon mehrmals auf Kreta, aber dies war die schönste Unterkunft (Petres 2) bisher. Die Villa ist neu, gut ausgestattet, schön möbliert und sehr sauber. Der Eigentümer Andreas hat uns herzlich empfangen. Die Lage ist perfekt. Die Städtchen Plakias und Mirthios mit Supermarkt und guten Tavernen sind in der Nähe. Beim schönen Damnoni-Strand liegt die Taverne Mythos, welche der Eigentümer-Familie gehört. Das Essen dort war ebenfalls sehr gut. Wir haben unsere Ferien sehr genossen und können es mit gutem Gewissen weiter empfehlen. Danke für Alles.

We thank you for your kind and positive review! We are very happy to hear you had an enjoyable experience on our property, as we make it a priority to provide high-quality services to our guests.
We would be glad to accommodate you again in the future and offer you another memorable experience!
Das moderne Haus ist wirklich sehr schön und gut geschnitten. Die modernen Bäder sind in einem tollen Design. Der Service für Pool und Haus war sehr gut und jederzeit hilfsbereit.
Was wir bei diesem Haus wirklich vermisst haben, ist ein fester Schattenplatz. Der Sonnenschirm war leider viel zu klein und bei den extremen Windverhältnissen, konnten wir diesen oft nicht nutzen! Wünschenswert wäre auch eine Geschirrspülmaschine, die würde die schöne Küche perfekt abrunden.
Das Haus und die Lage ist sehr empfehlenswert! Ein Auto ist hier aber zwingend erforderlich. Die tolle Taverne „Mariou“ ist aber fußläufig leicht zu erreichen und ist ein Highlight!

Wir waren eine Woche in diesem Objekt. Es war perfekt. Wir wurden mit Obst, Wasser, Öl und Raki empfangen. Der Der Betreuer des Objektes Andreas war super freundlich. Die Villa liegt in einem sehr schönen Gebiet. Der Blick auf die Küste mit seinen Strandbuchten und in die Berge ist wunderschön. Die Villa war perfekt ausgestattet - sehr stilvoll und modern eingerichtet. Sehr freundlicher Room- und Poolservice. Der Müll wurde täglich entsorgt und der Pool ebenso gereinigt! Der Pool war angenehm beheizt. Die Sonnenterrasse war perfekt ausgestattet. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön. Die Taverne ist 5 Minuten Fußweg entfernt. Sehr freundliche familiäre Atmosphäre. Atemberaubender Blick von einer großen Terrasse in die Ferne. Viele Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in Plakias. Dort ist eine ausgedehnte Wanderung am Strand möglich. Sehr gute und vielfältige gastronomische Einrichtungen im Ort und an der Strandpromenade.
Abschließend möchten wir noch erwähnen, dass die Anfahrt vom Flughafen zum Objekt sehr eindrucksvoll (Berge und eine atemberaubende Schlucht) war.
Alles in Allem gab es nichts zu beanstanden und wir werden gerne wiederkommen.
