We are a family of four (two adults, two teenagers) who visited the property in early July 2026. The home and ammenities were absolutely wonderful. Beaches, groceries and tavernas nearby, and easy access to all of the regional cities. Very quiet and safe at night. Be prepared to drive around on very curvy and narrow roads. Can't wait to go back.

This property was very clean and spacious. The host was extremely helpful responsive and informative. The views of the white mountains were spectacular. It is in a very peaceful rural location where all you can hear is birds goats and chickens.The pool is a good size excellent for cooling off, and admiring the beautiful view. A fantastic place to switch off and relax but close to charming villages, Towns and beautiful seaside resorts.

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.

Romantic holiday for two

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

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!

Pure escapism!

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!

The villa exceeded our expectations with its lovely location, stunning views, beautiful pool and well equipped interior. We had trouble finding it due to lost signals on Google Maps on our phones and previously the owner’s phone number had a recorded message saying incoming calls were not being accepted. We only received the owner’s email with comprehensive information about the villa on our second day there. It would have been helpful to have had that in advance. We were grateful to the owner for coming to Paleloni village to guide us to the villa - a local lady helped us by ringing her.The villa had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, with great hot water. Our sheets and towels were changed along with a mid stay clean. We were grateful for the local biscuits, fruit and water - a kind gesture. We also found cooking basics like oil and spices in the cupboards and every imaginable cooking appliance. The pool was cleaned once during our ten day stay and the filter system worked well.We found the villa to be a bit further from Almyrida than advertised. It certainly took us more than ten minutes to get there and more like twenty five minutes to Kalyves where our English friends live.This would be a great choice of villa for a couple, a group of adults or a family, with the proviso that the children could swim. The pool has very little shallow water and even that would be too deep for most children to stand.We loved our stay at Villa Paleloni - thank you.

Awesome Country Property

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!

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!
