Lovely villa set in well maintained gardens with a large pool. The owners were very kind and left a welcome gift that was very much appreciated after a long day's travel. The property is minutes from the beach and several decent restaurants. Definitely recommend.
Beautifully old fashioned family home, very spacious, with all mod cons
A large 3 bed, 2 bath property in extensive grounds, ten minutes walk to Maleme centre - where the Black Lantern has a mix of English and Greek cuisine, and ten mins walk to the sea front / pebble beach with 3 good restaurants (Mythos, Maleme and Waves)
Pictures are reliably accurate, but don't really convey the sense of interior space - plenty of room for a family, and every room has immediate access to an outdoor terrace. Wifi is excellent in the house, but doesn't reach very far outside.
Very well placed for exploring the North and West of the island with access to the E65 National Road only about 5km / 10 mins drive away - and use of a car probably is necessary. There is a large number of attraction leaflets in the hall table - useful for planning days out etc.
The pool is superb - not heated, but that's not an issue in the Cretan sunshine - lovely once you get in it after a hot day exploring Chania, monasteries or historic ruins.
However - be sure to pack insect repellant. The mosquitos were not a big problem, but the midges / gnats / no-see-ums were viciously hungry!
All in - recommended for all. (However disabled access would be difficult given the steps inside and the split level layout).
Wir haben zu viert eine Woche in Maleme verbracht. Das geräumige Haus ist von der Einrichtung etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber gut ausgestattet und sauber. Wir haben die vielen Terrassen, den Grillplatz und vor allem den große, private Pool sehr genossen. Am Pool standen bequeme Liegen und große Sonnenschirme bereit.
Maleme ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge zu den Ständen des Westens und ins Landesinnere. Der Ort Maleme selber hat keinen besonderen Charme, aber ein paar ganz schöne Restaurant direkt am Meer.
Der Aufenthalt ist auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen, der persönliche Empfang und die Schlüsselübergabe vor Ort hat gut geklappt.
An older style property fully equipped to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Fantastic pool, always sparkling clean and a great relief in the hot sun.
Villa location is just a 10-15 walk down to local beach and lovely beach taverns and bars. Easy access to Chania, mountains and beyond. Owner was lovely and very helpful.

Big beautiful villa fulfills your holiday wishes
The villa was great. It is quite big just like the garden. We were 6 people, two of us were child’s and they loved the space they had for playing around. The owner are very nice and gave us a tour through the house on our arrival. Some welcome gifts consisting of food and drinks were in the kitchen, a really nice gesture and they also had some pool toys for the kids, that was fantastic. The pool is wonderful and the green garden around just makes you want to stay there. But the region of chania is also worth seeing and with a car you have the opportunity to reach the whole west of the island from this beautiful Villa. If you don‘t have a car it doesn’t matter cause you can reach the importants things on foot (supermarket, taverns, the beach and a bus station and if you should decide a car would be a benefit also some car rentals are not far). So we loved our time here and hope you will also. We can definitely recommend it and his gentle owners.

Top Ferienhaus, einfach riesig!
Ein riesengroßer Pool, ein riesengroßes Haus, alles da, perfekt ausgestattete Küche mit bereits vorhandenen Gewürzen und anderen kleinen Willkommensgeschenken. Am Haus gibt es rein gar nichts auszusetzen! Überaus freundlicher Vermieter, sehr sauber, es wird zwei mal die Woche geputzt. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Tankstellen und Restaurants sind direkt im Umkreis zuhauf aufzufinden. Einziges Manko, nicht das Haus, sondern die Lage betreffend: Der Ort an sich sowie der fußläufig erreichbare Strand sind sehr touristisch gehalten, für die wirklichen Sehenswürdigkeiten und Wanderrouten ist ein Mietwagen zwingend erforderlich. Sowohl für Erwachsene Gruppen als auch für Familien bestens geeignet.

Fantastic Villa - great location - Perfect
Fantastic
We have never been to Crete before let alone rented our our villa.
All our questions were timely answered and the villa was perfect. The process of reserving was seamless and everything was great.
The house is as the photographs shows. Just take some beach towels (pool and bath towels are provided) the owners were lovely and showed us around - welcome pack of food and drink was great too.
I would advise to take some DVDs for evenings if you have children in bed early as the TV choices are all Greek.
The pool is fantastic and you can properly swim in it.
It is a minute walk to bars, restaurants, shops and the beach. 40 minutes to the airport.
The villa is not overlooked so you can completely escape.
Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Great villa
Great villa- very clean and loads of space. Very large pool with lots of shade and some very friendly cats and kittens from next door- although I am sure that they would make themselves scarce if you don't like cats. It's also a short walk to the beach and all the restaurants.
The only small negatives are no aircon or fan in the living room, so this is hot at night, although the bedrooms have great aircon. Also, there is no dust pan for the barbeque so we made our own! Mattresses are quite hard, too, but we all still slept well. The DVD also only played about 1/3 of our DVDs.
Overall, a fabulous place to stay and we can highly recommend the villa.
