Beautiful house, amazing pool - good for car free holiday

Lovely three bed house a little off the beaten track above Maleme. Cab from the airport cost 55 Euro.It's in a group of smallholdings, so lots of trees and chickens and great views of the stars. The rooms are large and with balconies and pool make for a lot of space. Minimarket 7 mins walk away for essentials, beach 15. Hosts are really welcoming and helpful. Had a lovely week with no car. It's easy to get the bus to Chania or Plataniais for days out, and we had a lovely walk along the back roads to a local vaulted tomb. A very chilled area compared to the main resorts closer to the sea so good for people who like a bit of countryside peace.

As it appears in the pictures - beautiful villa

Very well maintained and owners concerned that everything should be perfect. Lovely pool and BBQ are great fun for children. Well positioned for exploring Chania and the pretty Western Crete beaches - car a must.

June/July in Crete

The internet information on the Joanna villa was an understatement. The villa, the swimmingpool and the garden well exceeded our expectations. Lots of space, very fresh and clean, luxurious and traditional in the best meaning. The premises are fantastic and do not need any improvement (with exception of the plumbing, which does not match the very elegant bathrooms). The verandas and balconies were fantastic and very useful as they offered the right choice of sun and shade during the day. We rented a car at the airport and used it well. There are dozens of amazing excursions in the vicinity and the hostess helped us finding those, that the guidbooks did not mention. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A totally brilliant honeymoon

We chose Villa Joanna for our honeymoon, and we weren't disappointed. The villa is stunning, and the photos do not do it justice. Everything was immaculate and beautifully presented and after only a few days the place felt like home. The brick BBQ kept Carl happy, and the pool was perfect for cooling off in. The owners, Lefteris and Joanna, couldn't do more for us - they were lovely, giving us fresh vegetables and looking after us. We cannot express enough how highly we rate the villa and the hospitality of the owners, and we hope to visit again to celebrate our anniversary next year.
