About this property

Rural Stone Villa with private pool and mountain views near local sandy beaches!

Our villa is located in a very tranquil and relaxing environment which is typical of the Cretan rural landscape. It has been built with local stones and wood with special attention to detail. Based mainly in the traditional Cretan architectural style, it also offers modern facilities and comforts providing the best you can expect from a fully operational house.
It is totally children friendly as it is surrounded by a big gated open space.

Outside
There are many outdoor places where you can relax and enjoy the sun or the sweet summer breeze at nights, staring at the stars in the sky. We have catered for providing various seating areas all around the villa as well as 4 pergolas for shade (2 upstairs and 2 downstairs by the pool). The pool is available all year round and is maintained twice a week. 5 sunbeds and 2 umbrellas equip the area around it. There is also a bbq for an additional option of cooking meals and spending quality time together.

Inside
The interior of the house is very convenient and cosy. On the ground floor there is a kitchen, a living area, a twin bedroom , a bathroom and a small storage. In particular, the kitchen is fully equipped with a big fridge, cooker, built-in dishwasher, microwave oven, coffee maker, toaster and all the cooking utensils and cookware. In the living room there is an antique dining area, satellite TV and a fireplace which is operational during winter months. The bathroom downstairs has an enclosed shower and there is a washing machine in the wardrobe outside the bathroom. The bedroom on this floor has 2 standard sized single beds which can become a king sized bed upon request. A french door opens up to the pool area and allows tons of light to come in.
A wooden staircase leads to the upper floor where there is a master bedroom, a single bed bedroom and a bathroom. Both bedrooms have balconies where the view of the mountains and the trees takes your breath away.
The whole house has access to free unlimited wifi and hot water is always available. There is air-conditioning in all bedrooms.

Location
Apart from the house itself, the location is central enough to anything. The nearest beach, Ombrogialos, is a -5- minute drive away while other popular sandy beaches are from 10 to 20 minutes away.
The historical cities of Chania and Rethymno are less than an hour drive. Other villages with handy shops with local products are just 2 to 5 minutes away. You can also find some traditional tavernas in great proximity offering delicious Cretan dishes in reasonable prices.
In general, our first and foremost priority is offering our guests a delightful experience combined with the feeling of being at home and that is why we always do our best to be immediately responsive to our guests' needs and questions. We always welcome our guests and we can be contacted anytime.

Sehr gemütliches Haus in ruhiger Lage
Das Haus befindet sich auf einem sehr großen abgeschlossenem Gelände mit 3 weiteren Häusern. Die Häuser sind dann nochmals in einzelne Grundstücke aufgeteilt. Die Anlage befindet sich mehrere 100m über dem Meeresspiegel. Man hat von den Balkonen einen Wahnsinnsausblick über das Tal bis in die Berge. Die Anfahrt dorthin ist über die Serpentinen und kleineren Dörfer beim 1. mal sehr abenteuerlich aber auch super interessant. Zum nächsten größeren Seebad Georgioupoli braucht man mit dem Auto ca.20 min. Dort ist ein toller Strand mit Liegen. Diese waren oft kostenlos, wenn man sich an der Bar ein Getränk gekauft hat. Nach Rethymno und Chania dauert es ca. 40 Minuten. Beides sehr schöne Städte mit viel Geschichte. Das Haus war sehr sehr sauber und super ausgestattet. Bei unserer Ankunft stand für uns frisches Obst, Brot und ein Sekt bereit. Der Pool wurde nach 4 Tagen gereinigt und die kompletten Handtücher einen Tag später gewechselt.( Beides wurde vorher über Whats App angekündigt) Wir hatten 2 Telefonnummern die jederzeit erreichbar sein sollten. Diese haben wir aber überhaupt nicht gebraucht, weil wirklich alles perfekt war. Das Haus ist sehr sehr empfehlenswert. Vielen Dank an Marianna für die Grundlage eines schönen Urlaubes. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt

The villa is very comfortable and has everything you need. We arrived in the middle of the night so locating the keys was a little challenging as there are two ways of getting into the property, but we got there in the end! 😊 Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and its location is good for beaches and local restaurants. Having been to the area before it worked well for us. Missing it already!

Idyllic Holiday Location
Just returned from a fabulous 2 weeks stay at Villa Paleloni. Marianna the owners communication before and during the stay was brilliant with lots of information to help us find the villa, restaurants etc in the surrounding area and things to do. The villa was spotlessly clean and very well presented with absolutely everything you needed…..kitchen utensils and amenities the best in any villa that we have stayed in. A lovely enclosed shower downstairs with plenty of hot water. The outside was brilliant with 5 sun beds, 2 umbrellas, a huge pool, loads of room to lay around the pool and sunbath, outside seating area in the shade and a huge fantastic BBQ which we used at least 6 times during our stay. The villa itself is in the perfect location……in the hills overlooking the breathtaking mountains and so peacefully quiet with just the wonderful sound of the sheep’s bells in the distance. When we arrived Marianna had also left a welcome pack of water, 2 packs of Cretan biscuits, olive oil, a bottle of wine and a basket of fruit containing apples, peaches, nectarines and bananas which was a lovely touch. Included in our stay the pool was cleaned at least 4 times and the pool man was lovely. Also the villa was cleaned twice and we even got to meet the lady who cleaned and she was so friendly and polite. If you are looking for a holiday in a place just like home, private, quiet and so relaxing in a beautiful setting then I would definitely recommend Villa Paleloni. Marianna is the perfect host…..leaves you to enjoy your holiday but also there at the end of a mobile should you need help or just ask anything. Thank you for the perfect stay

Relaxing Villa close to beaches
We had a fantastic stay in a very spacious villa in the hills close to Vamos and Kefalas. We stayed for 2 weeks mid August and enjoyed every minute of the relaxing experience. Marianna was a brilliant host, who was easy to contact and always on hand to provide great recommendations for food and places to visit. The villa was everything we hoped for and definitely lived up to expectations. Clean, spacious and well equipped, with air con in all bedrooms and a fantastic private pool (10m long). It was private and secure with only a 20 minute drive to Georgioupolis or Almyrida where there were sandy beaches, restaurants and shops. 5 minutes to local mini markets and tavernas. We could not fault the stay in any way. Car is a must.

Großartig
Wir können uns den guten Bewertungen nur anschließen- Marianna hat dafür gesorgt, dass wir uns vom ersten Moment an sehr wohl gefühlt haben! Das Haus ist sehr ruhig gelegen aber man erreicht mit dem Auto in wenigen Minuten alles, was man braucht. Dank der ausführlichen Hinweise von Marianna, war der Besuch der Restaurants und Strände der Umgebung immer ein Erfolg. Vielen Dank für diese wunderbare Zeit.

Kretisches Schmuckstück in einem paradiesisch anmutenden Umfeld :-)
Wer Kreta und seine Menschen kennenlernen möchte wird hier ein Eldorado an Möglichkeiten vorfinden. Die Villa ist ein architektonisches Schmuckstück kretischer Bauweise und versetzt einen in die Atmosphäre von David McNeils Buch " Wind auf Kreta" Der erste Blick aus einem der 3 Schlafzimmer fällt auf den Gebirgszug der Weißen Berge und ist atemberaubend. Eingebettet in eine paradiesisch anmutende Landschaft verbringt man hier seinen Urlaub in biblischer Stille (sofern der Hahn nicht gerade kräht) Die Villa ist mit allem ausgestattet was auch den anspruchsvollen Gast zufrieden stellen dürfte. Marianna legt offensichtlich penibel Wert darauf, dass ihre Gäste zufrieden sind was sich auch in der perfekten Organisation des Housekeepings zeigt. Von uns eine absolute Empfehlung und vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit. Wir werden wiederkommen :-)

Excellent quiet villa for a family
What an incredible stay! We spent 10 nights here in high season. The villa is in a small village, so only one house is nearby, but complete privacy is guaranteed. Pool is very spacious, 5-6 people can easily play in it. Air conditioning in all bedrooms, which is excellent for the hot nights. Pool and house was regularly cleaned, which was perfect. Marianna was an excellent host, she gave excellent recommendations for food, activities, car rental, basically anything that was asked. Very highly recommended, would definitely go back again!

Awesome Country Property
We spent 3 great days at this property. When we arrived, we were greeted with brushetta in the refrigerator, bottle of wine, bread, olive oil and other items. We could put our feet up after a long journey and relax. Our property manager, Marianna, was wonderful and helped us recommendations of places to eat. We loved the local restaurant that Marianna recommended. Although during the day we were gone, we came "home" to a quiet restful place with a pool and beautiful view. Definitely a five star stay and would love to go back someday and stay longer!
