Great Villa outside Chania
Wonderful experience at Evangelia’s villa in Maleme, Crete. Evangelia & her son were extremely welcoming & helpful. They were there to greet us and walk us through the villa, even when we pushed our arrival time back a couple hours with short notice. Evangelia had great & fast communication through VRBO before & during our trip, as well as helpful PDF’s with house info & recommendations for the area.
We brought our 2 rental cars & there was parking for them at the villa. We had 7 adults & a 1.5 year old baby & we fit comfortably within the 4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms. The house was very clean throughout & the air conditioning made July days very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with many essentials & Evangelia was very kind to have left baked goods, fruit, jams, wine, raki, water & more. The back patio area & yard were beautiful, well kept & relaxing—you can see the water from there too. Beach, restaurants, pharmacy, and grocery nearby, we esp liked “Gyros Maleme Grill Restaurant” minutes away walk.
Although we didn’t go to the beach that you can see from the house (other than to walk along it in the evening) this villa was no more than 30 min drive to all that Chania offers & about an hour or so from some of the most popular & unique beaches in Crete like Falassarna, Balos, and Elafonissi. “Biolea” olive oil estate was a 25 min drive & had a nice tour & a very scenic location.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Evangelia’s villa & would highly recommend!
