“Great family stay”
We had a perfect stay with our family. The kids loved the pool and it's bigger than we expected. The staff was very friendly and Marily gave us great recommendations of things to do and see. She's also around to answer any questions we had and gave us umbrellas that we could use during our stay, which was very convenient.

“Fantastic stay to visit Chania and beyond”
Amazing place with great views. Very close to Chania and close to the highway for escapes further away. There was always a nice breeze cooling the house down. Now the owners are top. Marily gave all the top tips to maximise our stay. Super friendly.

“Perfect vacation away from the town but close enough to drive to easily. Literally paradise.”
The grounds and houses are absolutely gorgeous! High up and in the nature, it’s so clean and beautiful. A real oasis. The hostess was really helpful and kind and told us exactly where to visit.

“Quiet green oasis in Chania”
Everything 🙂 Up on a hill with many tall pine trees. Every villa has privacy, with two terraces, one being shaded and breezy. Many windows that let the cool air flood the house. We barely used the air conditioning. The whole property is very quiet and looks amazing, with lots of flowers and fruit trees (we had a lemon tree over the terrace) and a good size shared pool. Beds were super comfortable. Nice towels and bed linen. Glasses, cups and plates were all new and nice quality. Owner was willing to help with any information we needed. Great location, 10-15 min from both airport and city center (by car). You definitely need a car!

“What a perfect, idyllic setting with a very warm and welcoming feel”
Absolutely fantastic experience at Villa Pefki in Chania! Despite our flight being delayed, we were warmly welcomed at 1am and invited to join the owner the next morning for a delightful introduction to the area, complete with fresh lemon juice from the tree in our villa garden. We felt instantly at home and relaxed, especially with our three children. The villa was immaculate and perfectly equipped, including a bottle of delicious Cretan wine. The pool was warm, spacious, and surrounded by plenty of loungers. The location was ideal - close enough to town for convenience but far enough to offer peace and incredible views of the Venetian walls, lighthouse, and charming streets. Highly recommend!

“Perfect!”
Everything about our stay was perfect. Marily was the most wonderful host, and ensured we were completely happy at all times - anything we needed she was more than happy to help with - a true delight. The place was clean and beautiful, a lovely quiet location but super easy to get anywhere, and we had the best time there. Would highly recommend!
