Five star stay in Crete

We had a wonderful holiday, the villa is amazing, both internally and externally. The location is ideal with lovely beaches and a Taverna just a short walk away. The Villa has all the facilities you would need for a family or friends and I would highly recommend the property to anyone. George and his wife were very, very friendly and helpful and you couldn't have better or nicer hosts and the pies were delicious. This was a five star villa and a five star holiday.

Incredible vacation

The villas are absolutely beautiful. I strongly recommend this villa to anyone. Less than a one minute walk to beach and two local tavernas and a 2 min drive to 5 other great restos. 15-20 min drive to Chania. Location is best mix of small beach town vibe and close access to large tourist city if you want that. Owners are super nice and made us homemade pastries. Strongly recommend this villa. I will be back for sure. Villas are impeccably maintained.

A lovely property with delightful hosts

Stayed a week 3 couples all three rooms had king sized beds and ensuite. The house was well looked after and very comfortable. We paid to get the hot tub heated and really enjoyed sitting in that. Garden and pool well maintained. A 2 minute walk to a really nice taverna so no designated driver issue. The beach nearby was very nice too. The hosts mum cooked us the most delicious custard/cream pie which I must admit was off the scale delicious. We would certainly recommend this property.

Perfect villa holiday

The villa was beautiful - modern and light and very clean. The outside space was fantastic with 2 sitting areas with a lovely view across the sea and a pool and beautiful garden. It is about 100 yards from the beach with another lovely beach about a mile away. There is a taverna about 50 yards down the hill which served very good traditional Cretan food at extremely good prices and there are more restaurants at Marathi beach about a mile away. The owner George and his wife were delightful - very helpful and making sure everything was ok for us without being intrusive and Vicky also looked after us very well. This is a fantastic place to stay and we would definitely come back again.

An outstanding place to stay!

We have just spent a wonderful week in this beautiful villa. It is architecturally stunning, and equipped with everything you could need. The location, on the hillside overlooking the sea is beautiful and the gardens are spectacular, in particular the amazing jasmine plants which fill the air with perfume. George and his wife live nearby and were so kind and helpful. They made us traditional Greek pastries and helped us print documents for our boat hire. Nothing was too much trouble. The daily cleaning was such luxury, and she even made us pizza! It was a very tranquil, private place to stay, and we rarely left even though the beautiful bay with a safe beach and taverna was less than 5 minutes’ walk. We asked for the pool to be heated which was perfect as we could swim all day even though it was early in the season, and the enormous jacuzzi was a real treat. We were very sad to leave and hope to return for another relaxing stay in the future. Many thanks!

Beautiful home and amazing service

This is a truly special property. I stayed with my two daughters (ages 9 and 11) my nephew (age 10) and my brother and sister in law. The property was perfect for us. The entire house had incredible views and was impeccably maintained. Savoula, the housekeeper, treated us like family and was attentive to every detail, even bringing us fresh bread every morning. George, who greeted us upon arrival, made our stay perfect, recommending restaurants and a day cruise which the whole family enjoyed. He maintains a beautiful garden on the property, in addition to the olive grove, and you can smell and sample the variety of herbs in your kitchen. They also helped make my daughter's birthday celebration very special, thank you George! If you want a perfect vacation in Chania, walking distance to the beach, with warm and friendly service, this is your rental. Don't bother looking anywhere else.

“Fantastic relaxing stay at this luxury villa”

My wife and I treated our two children with their spouses and our two grand children to an unforgettably relaxing and luxurious holiday at Villa Olea. Every detail of the Villa was top of the line, from the barbecue to the linen. Every room had it's own bath, a/c, fan and sat TV. We do not go on holiday to watch TV but it was a pleasant bonus to lie in bed and watch a little news & sports if we wanted. The pool and Jacuzzi were kept immaculate by the daily pool cleaning service and we were spoiled with the daily maid service, which was excellent. The restaurant right in front of the Villa had fantastic friendly owners and made great food. The walk to the beach, which seemed like a private beach, took 4 minutes and never had anything like a crowd or noisy tourists. Always very relaxing and another great little cafe where we had salads and coffee brought to our beach chairs. The beach was perfect for small children and for grownup snorklers. For an adventure you can drive 5 minutes to the next beach and have a choice of 4 restaurants. But one of our favorite things was to prepare dinner in the well equipped kitchen and sit in the beautifully landscaped garden and eat our dinner outside with the lights in the olive trees. It was what a holiday is supposed to be, everything just as you could have hoped for, and more. A true highlight was how accommodating the owners are. We even received a home made cake from them which was out of this world, and a beautiful hand painted dish which is now in our living room reminding us of the remarkable week at this villa. I can not say enough good about the whole experience.

Loutraki

Les propriétaires sont absolument charmants , l’architecture de la maison est agréable, le jardin est très beau, la piscine agréable même si elle est petite, il y a bien la vue sur la mer mais pas celle montrée sur le site Abritel car en fait, il y a d’abord un parking plutôt moche. La plage est effectivement à 2 minutes à pieds mais elle est archibondée, impossible d’y mettre une serviette passé 10h, la plage privée a connu de meilleurs jours avec des transats sales, des paillotes fatiguées et l’autre plage à 5 minutes en voiture est exactement du même acabit. Pour les chambres, elles ont toutes un mur vitré qui donne sur une pièce sans volets et donc vous êtes réveillés avec le soleil levant( très beau) :c’est fatiguant à force de se lever à 7h00 tous les jours . De plus, les deux villas sont extrêmement proches, avec donc le bruit des voisins ( musique, enfants dans la piscine contiguë). Enfin, pour les wc, il est interdit d’y mettre le papier, ce qui est la première fois pour moi comme pour mes amis venus plusieurs fois en Grèce . Cette villa ne vaut en aucun cas 5 étoiles malgré la gentillesse des propriétaires

Traumhafter Urlaub

Wir hatten einen traumhaften Urlaub in einem außergewöhnlich schönen Haus. Es ist stilvoll eingericht, sehr gut ausgestattet und vor allem sehr sauber. Dafür hat Vicky jeden Tag gesorgt! Aus jedem Raum hat man einen fantastischen Blick aufs Meer. Die Lage ist perfekt, denn man erreicht fußläufig zwei schöne Buchten und man ist mit dem Auto schnell in Chania. Georgios war ein sehr freundlicher und aufmerksamer Gastgeber, der sich hervorragend um alles gekümmert hat. Wir werden sicherlich wiederkommen!

Fantastic villa, great location

Fantastic villa in a great location, close to two bays within walking distance with lovely restaurants and beaches. We booked the private chef one night which was excellent; the best food we had during our stay. Alex and his father, George were great hosts and happily arranged a taxi for us when required. Home cooked pie on arrival was a really lovely touch and unexpected. The only sleight disappointment was that we couldn't use the pool as it was freezing cold and didn't receive sunshine for very long.

George's wife made a fantastic Greek pie for our group to enjoy. The location is great and it is an easy walk to a wonderful private beach. There were never more than 25 people on the beach. There is a great tavern down the hill from the Villa and we ate there twice. It was very easy to get a Taxi to town for dinners since George offered to schedule cabs for us.

A perfect mountain/beach retreat

Our stay at Olea Villa was extraordinary, from the warmth and hospitality of the owner, Georges, to the friendly and attentive Vicki who kept things clean and organized. And then there was Georges’ wife’s pie, delivered warm and so delicious! We felt like we were in a dream staying in such a beautiful place, walking to the beach and local tavernas or taking day trips to see more of Crete. It was an ideal vacation and we can’t recommend Olea Villas more strongly. You won’t regret a stay in this beautiful place!

Olea Villa

We were a group of 4 and had an absolutely brilliant time. Alex and his Father were extremely attentive to any of our needs. The property itself was well serviced and just a beautiful place to stay. Unfortunately we could not use the hot during the pandemic which was a shame however the pool was warm and the beach close by with beach bar made up for it!! The location was great, close the airport and the town centre therefore we were able to order taxis to and from the city centre with great ease. This is the place to stay in Chania!

Traumhafte Villa- Entspannung pur und guter Ausgangspunkt für Tagestouren

Über die traumhafte Architektur wurde bereits in vorherigen Bewertungen berichtet. Dies können wir ( Familie mit 2 17 jährigen Töchtern) nur bestätigen. Absolut durchdacht, nichts hat gefehlt und das Haus versprühte sowohl tagsüber als auch abends bei toller Beleuchtung Charme. Vom Flughafen Heraklion ( leider wurde unser Flug nach Chania gecancelt) haben wir 2 Stunden gebraucht, konnten die Fahrt an der schönen Küste Kretas genießen. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war sehr gut, so konnten wir das Haus ohne Probleme finden. Wir wurden von George , dem Vater des Vermieters freundlich begrüßt und in das Haus und die Umgebung eingewiesen. Der Kühlschrank war schon gut gefüllt, so dass wir erst einmal in Ruhe ankommen konnten. Die Lage war für uns perfekt- außerhalb, um unsere Ruhe zu haben aber trotzdem so nah, dass wir abends in 20 Minuten in Chania zum Essen gehen sein konnten. Ein kleiner Strand ( Loutraki Beach) war in 2 Minuten zu erreichen. Oft haben wir aber den tollen Poolbereich zum Entspannen genutzt. Die Villa war für uns daneben ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Tagestouren nach Elafonisi, Farlanassa, Balos.... Doch immer gern sind wir dann nachmittags in unsere Villa zurückgekommen. George und seine Frau waren sehr gastfreundlich, Zweimal verwöhnten sie uns mit typischen griechischen Kuchen/ Aufläufen. Eine Reinigung erfolgte alle 2 Tage, was völlig ausreichend war. Die Vollausstattung der Küche haben wir kaum genutzt, aber für Hobbyköche ist alles vorhanden. Es war ein rundum gelungener Aufenthalt und wir haben einen erneuten Aufenthalt bereits ins Auge gefasst.

Wonderful Owners/caretakers for a Beautiful Villa!!

Our stay at Olea in November was simply wonderful! Although not exactly beach weather, we were determined to take advantage of the sunshine and spent lots of time on the patio, the little beach down the street and took a quick dip in the beautiful sea. The villa was spotless and gorgeous with fabulous views but what made our stay most enjoyable was the hospitality and friendliness of George, Alex and Vicki. They were so very accommodating! Vicki brought us delicious warm treats on more than a few occasions. We hired the chef that was recommended and the food was so good that we asked him to come back again for our last night. Again, the food was outstanding! Thank you so much George, Alex & Vicki for all you did to make this such a wonderful vacation. Cheers from Mary Ann, Rob, Emily & Mike in Rhode Island, USA

Paradise!

We spent a week at Villa Olea over Greek Orthodox Easter weekend and we had a wonderful time. The weather was beautiful and the stunning scenery around the villa was breathtaking. The Villa itself is one of two architecturally designed buildings of stone, glass, wood and metal with eating and relaxing areas inside and outside. The bedrooms were spacious with very comfortable beds and all with their own bathrooms. The upper floor bedroom had views overlooking the bay of Loutraki and the White Mountains.... deep azure sea and olive groves through one window and snowy peaks through the other. Magical. Our son had one of the ground floor bedrooms and each morning sat quietly on his own private balcony drinking coffee. The games room was well equipped with X box and a library of dvds. Each day our villa was serviced by the lovely housekeeper but with respect to our privacy and the owner, on hand and checking daily that we were happy and everything was working well. On Easter morning we were presented with a traditional pastry , hot from the owner’s wife and the following day, a tray of tasty Crete treats including feta and spinach parcels arrived! The hot tub was a big hit and was used everyday at least twice. Bubbling jets soothes our limbs whilst we feasted with our eyes on the magnificent view. The infinity pool had a children’s section and a deeper section for those who enjoy a plunge. For us, privacy, peace and quiet and a great location for touring around are the key elements. Villa Olea gave us all those things and much much more. We highly recommend this property and the owners. Please do go and experience this gentle and beautiful Cretan way of life. Thank you so much for your hospitality!
