Villa MairaIdyllic holidays
Idyllic holiday property, perfect view with superb facilities.Spent a fantastic 2 weeks here, family of 5 with 3 teenage children. The pool and loungers were superb, what had clinched it for us was the private entrance to the sea for snorkelling which did not disappoint. Very well equipped with fantastic master bedroom, with balcony overlooking the sea beyond and out to Zakynthos in the distance. My wife and I took the separate adjoining house which also had wonderful views with the bed surrounded on 3 sides by huge windows with great views to wake up to once the automatic blinds were open. Very well equipped with great wifi, Netflix, big collection of music and films although we didn't watch much TV as we were there to be outside. Pool was cleaned every morning by the gardner who had been and gone by the time we opened the shutters and maid service twice a week was excellent. The owners Marina and Chris were wonderful, spending time with us telling us restaurants and places to visit and so generous leaving us lots of fruit, veg, bread and home made spreads - the cherry syrup a major highlight. This was totally unexpected but really added to the welcome. Air con all worked fine and the place felt very secure with automatic gate. We did sightseeing to the caves and local boat trips. In terms of restaurants Old Times was about 15-20 mins walk and well worth it - we went 3 times, Skala is probably too far to walk, but taxis are plentiful and we hired a car - took 5 mins. There is very good barbeque and we ate in a few times as well as cooking pizzas

Villa OrlandaFabulous!
I agree with other comments. The villa is just lovely, and beautifully equipped. We were 7 adults, us, our children and others. The location is perfect and having driven round much of the Akrotiri Peninsula, we reckon this villa is in the best position. Not overlooked from the beach, yet 30 seconds away. Steve was so helpful, nothing was too much trouble and he even came over especially to deliver some olive oil from his supplier for us to take home. Thank you!

The villa is so relaxing and comfortable. It feels like home and at the same time luxurious. We had a family meet up and it was absolutely perfect. The bedrooms are large, private and spacious. A lovely peaceful time was had by all. Good recommendations for beaches, restaurants etc

Villa OrlandaVery comfortable stay!
Property was exactly as pictured and described. The house (and owner, Steve) brilliantly accommodated our two year old son, providing a baby gate for the staircase, high chair and age-appropriate pool toys. Steve was warm and welcoming and made us feel like we had family in Crete during our stay; this extra special care is what really sets the house apart from other villas in the area, which we have rented in previous years. All of these small touches collectively created a sense of staying at a five star resort with the privacy and space of a home. Proximity to the beach (shallow and perfect for toddlers) was great. Would absolutely recommend.

Villa OrlandaGreat villa, great location, great people and great holiday
The villa is perfectly located just seconds away from a fabulous cove that is perfect for small children (and adult ones like the ones we brought along!) and a bar and taverna. There's also a home delivery service from local taverna that has appetisers that are top notch. You definitely do need to hire a car though - the shops are too far to walk, but then the driving is not a problem, everyone is very courteous. The villa is very well equipped and has excellent (not noisy) air conditioning. It has good showers and comfortable beds (and that matters to us!) Above all, I have to say that Steve is the most convivial host you could ever hope to meet; nothing is too much trouble and he made us feel very special. This was out first visit to Crete and it is a fabulous island and this is a fantastic place to
