I and nine friends rented Yorghy’s villa and truly had the very best time. The home is a reason to travel to Crete in and of itself, truly so spacious, historic, and lovely. Yorghy was an exceptional host. We had him organize a chef and a dinner in the house on one evening and it was delicious! Could not recommend staying her more!
Our family of eight, including four granddaughters had been looking forward to our trip to Greece for a long time. Villa Maroulas did not disappoint. The owner, Yorghy Fokas was always friendly, helpful and totally prepared to take care of us. He tried to anticipate our wants and needs from stocking the kitchen with our first breakfast to providing a housekeeper to come everyday and clean and refresh towels and linens. The villa is absolutely beautiful. One feels like they are in their own private, lovely world once you close the big wooden doors and enter the court yard surrounded by stone architecture, flowers and outdoor living. From the roof top patio to the first floor outdoor dining the villa is spacious but still comfortable and accommodating. The historic Village of Maroulas is small and intimate with two charming tavernas near the little square plus two outstanding tavernas nearby which Yorghy will tell you about.
The charming town of Rethymno is nearby as is choice of beaches to enjoy the water. The lovely town of Chania is within an hours drive to the west and the archeological site of Knossos is to the east. It is an historical treasure. Just be sure to be there when the gates open to miss the crowds. The people of Crete were friendly and welcoming and the Greek food is delicious. Our family would highly recommend the Villa Maroulas the the island of Crete
