Villa Maria is an authentic large Greek house built of stone. The house is located around a courtyard with exotic tall trees and has a private swimming pool with a separate childrens pool, a pond and a separate BBQ area in the corner of the garden. This house is 200 years old and was recently very tastefully renovated. The property is walled so that life is lived on the interior of this house.

The house as a staircase on the other side in the garden which takes you to a separate studio.

The garden is beautiful, almost a small paradise. There are lounge chairs and parasols

Amazing vacation house!
This beautiful house was a highlight of our vacation in Crete! The hosts were extremely helpful and available, and the home impeccably maintained. We had a perfect time, and such enjoyable moments spent in the exquisite garden. I highly recommend renting this property.

Actual paradise!!
This villa is magical. It had everything we needed for 2 weeks of relaxing and exploring. As temperatures are soaring across the med, the coolest place to be is by Vaggellis and Pavlo’s pool! Such warm hosts- very kind and knowledgeable but totally unobtrusive. The garden is spectacular and we were lucky to see some rare cactus flowers in bloom. The location is a very quiet hamlet and a car is a must but it’s only a short drive from some fantastic places to eat, drink and enjoy. The villa itself is very comfortable and spacious. The best thing, being the total privacy of the pool and garden- our shy 7 year old couldn’t swim 2 weeks ago and now she’s a mermaid! Thank you so much V and P, we would love to come back some day

Excellent séjour en famille
Très belle maison, bien équipée avec un magnifique jardin, à l'écart de l'agitation de la côte mais cependant très proche de la mer et des commerces. Idéale pour randonner. Accueil très sympathique en anglais.
