About this property

Nestling in the sleepy, unspoilt village of Maleme, with a backdrop of the White Mountains and a beautiful adjoining orange grove, Maleme Villa offers a luxury, tranquil Cretan village holiday. Only a five minute stroll through the rustic village lanes to the beach, taverns and shops, yet sufficiently far enough from the main resort area to ensure a peaceful, relaxing setting, our traditionally built villa has been lovingly and tastefully restored to maintain its original charm and character whilst importantly incorporating all the facilities you would expect for modern day living and more.

Next to a lovely orange grove, to the side of the property, in the pretty walled-garden, is the swimming pool and jacuzzi. Enjoy pool-side lounging on the wooden deck which has a range of comfortable furniture. Take a break for drinks and snacks in the impressive pool-house, which has a kitchen and a sleeping area; or enjoy an outdoor meal from the gas barbecue. To truly pamper yourself go below the pool-house and really relax in your very own luxury steam room. Shower and toilet facilities are also located here.

The layout of the villa is a little complicated, as before the restoration a part of the building was a house while the other part was a stable. Now at the ground floor there are two fully equipped kitchens, a spacious lounge with vaulted ceiling and a formal dining area that can comfortably seat six people. Stairs from the lounge lead to a romantic double bedroom on a stunning mezzanine floor. Beyond the dining area is a small, beautiful bay-windowed conservatory in which you can relax, read or just take a nap. At the same floor there are two bathrooms and a twin bedroom with French door leading to a back yard. On the first floor there are a bathroom and a double bedroom with a private balcony. To the side of the property, in the pretty walled-garden, is the swimming pool and jacuzzi. Enjoy pool-side lounging on the wooden deck, take a break for drinks and snacks in the impressive pool-house, enjoy an outdoor meal from the gas barbecue and relax in the steam room.

Lovely house and gardens.

We had a very enjoyable stay in mid April before the tourist industry had really woken up in Crete. The house is light, airy, spacious well equipped and stylish, with very nice and very well maintained grounds including a citrus grove, nice pool and sunny and shady areas. We arrived a bit early but were made very welcome by Stella, the owner and Sophia and were able to dump our luggage and sit by the pool while the cleaning and preparation were finished off. Stella appeared with a number of tasty treats during our stay and a leaving present which was very kind. We found a very generous welcome pack and the house was immaculate. The location, on the edge of the village in an area mainly populated by locals, but with just a short walk to tavernas, bus stops and an excellent supermarket was ideal for us. Quiet, apart from the local dogs and cockerels but convenient. We spent a lot of time around the pool which is quite shallow and was a little chilly in April but very refreshing. Maleme was very quiet but I imagine that in high season the edge of village location will be even more welcome if you are seeking peace and relaxation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt that it was excellent value for such a lovely property.

Lovely holidays

Everything went wonderful. Well located in the charming village of Maleme, the house was absolutely charming, confortable and easy to live. Thank you again to our local host for her kindness and very helpful presence. Chania is another beautiful harbour with the old Venitian town. Food was excellent especially fishes. We had a superb weather and managed to escape from the crowd over 2 weeks while visiting the whole West of Cretia, from North to South. For a nice and private sailing trip from Chania, ask for Nikos on the old harbour. We shall be back next year!!!

Hartelijke ontvangst in een mooie woning

Heel hartelijke ontvangst door de eigenares, ze was ook steeds bereikbaar en deed haar best om ons verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken. Ze zorgt ook voor leuke attenties. Mooie nette woning, op wandelafstand van winkels en strand. Ondanks het stormweer, hadden we een heerlijk verblijf!
