“Architecturally breathtaking with luxe home comforts in a beautiful setting”

We had an exceptional stay at Conte Marino Villas in Maleme. The villas are stunning in their architectural design, blending modern elegance with traditional Cretan touches. Everything is so well thought out for the guests’ comfort, from the spacious interiors to the beautifully organised outdoor areas, it feels like every detail has been carefully considered. The villas are equipped with every luxury you could want, making it a perfect place to relax in style. Maleme is a peaceful base, but you do need a car to really enjoy all that Crete has to offer, from beaches and mountain drives to Chania’s old town. The highlight of our stay was the owner’s warm hospitality. Despina was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly dedicated to making sure guests have the best possible experience. That personal touch made all the difference. A truly memorable stay, we highly recommend Conte Marino Villas for anyone seeking a luxurious and well-organised holiday base in Crete with a touch of magic.

“AMAZING! Class & comfort combined”

Let's start with our host Despina: what a wonderful lady! She welcomed us with open arms (literally!) and gave us a grand tour of our villa Alivia. She explained the art work, architecture, the love her and her husband had put into building these homes and it showed! To top it off, we received a big welcome package filled with treats, honey and olive oil! Then the villa itself, a home away from home. It is even better than the pictures in real life! Comfort and class combined. There were days we didn't even leave the villa as it has all that you need. Breakfast was also carefully prepared by a chef and with delicious variety every day. Location: ideally placed within a 5 min drive from Platanias beaches and restaurants. Luxury beach clubs 15min drive away. A small supermarket at walking distance and a lidl 5min drive away. Chania less than 30min drive away. Recommend hiking Rikko Gorge only 30min drive away. STUNNING! In the villa itself you can see the sunset beautifully from the terrace upstairs. Eventhough you are so close to liveliness, the villa itself is located in a quiet street so we slept like babies. We also loves the local restaurant (8min walk away) so much, we dined there 2 out of the 4 nights! I stayed with my partner and some friends for 4 nights and we wish we stayed longer. But we will surely return. Thank you Despina for your hospitality. We look back at our stay with beautiful memories.

A very well designed and wonderfully comfortable villa with a beautiful garden offering plenty of shade. The owner was super helpful and extremely responsive throughout the stay. The house is also very well located, not far from the airport and yet very close to a peaceful and quiet seaside resort of Maleme. Would love to come again!

“Fantastic family holiday in a truly stunning villa. Thank you, Despina!”

Despina is a wonderful and welcoming host who reached out to us immediately once the booking was made. She met us on arrival at the villa to give us a tour, also leaving a prepared welcome hamper which is just what we needed after our travel there. The villa itself is stunning, beautifully decorated and immaculately clean, with the pool and garden area being particularly beautiful. We stayed for 10 days (family of 3) in Villa Orangina, and as we stayed in April, we opted to have pool heating (which is an extra charge). We enjoyed the privacy of the villa and the surrounding area which is very peaceful and quiet. There are speakers in the sitting area outside which was lovely when spending time outside or in the pool. In the mornings, we had oranges from the garden for juice (juicing machine in kitchen) and there are also kumquat trees where you can eat the fruit directly from the tree itself. We had a car which made it easy for us to visit Falasarna beach, Platanias and several visits to the old harbour in Chania. We had a wonderful time .......we'll definitely be coming back.
