Villa Edem *****
Villa was absolutely perfect with everything you could need. Pool beautiful and clean. Surrounding garden lovely, perfect for barbecue and ‘eating in’ nights. Shops and restaurants short drive away and the people were so friendly everywhere we went. Great communication with owners and Hannah who was always available to help. Would highly recommend this villa and Crete!!!

A fantastic villa with scenery and heated pool
We had a fantastic 9 days stay at the villa with family, my kids of 8 and 11 years old. Beautiful villa. Close to all the amenities. We felt like home at the villa. The pool was heated and we enjoyed the pool even when the weather was in 18-20 degrees.
Owner Christine and Gilles were really helpful . Hannah who was looking after the villa was really helpful with all the needs.
I would recommend this villa to anyone who loves to have a quiet holiday. Thanks Girish

Beautiful villa
We have just spent 10 days in the beautiful Villa Edem . The villa is better than the pictures and the pool is wonderful. The villa has everything you could need and more for a peaceful safe getaway. The main town is only a short drive away with lots of shops restaurants and beaches. A perfect stay.just make sure you have your own data for gadgets as it’s difficult on the island in certain places.

Parfait sur toute la ligne !
Dès les premiėres communications avec les propriétaires Christine et Gilles, ils nous ont donné envie d'être chez eux. Au-delà de leur accueil et accessibilité constante qui ont ajouté à notre expérience , la maison en soi est paradisiaque, l'emplacement calme, ce que nous souhaitions et avec la voiture, les déplacements faciles et accessibles. Des vacances en tout point idylliques. Merci encore à vous 2.

Schöne Villa mit wunderbarem Außenbereich
Schöne Villa mit Pool und tollem Außenbereich! Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit hier. Die Villa liegt in den Hügeln oberhalb von Maleme und bietet von der Dachterrasse einen Panoramablick bis zum etwa eineinhalb Kilometer entfernten Meer. Insbesondere der Außenbereich der Villa ist absolut geeignet für einen wunderbaren Urlaub - Pool, verschiedene Sitz- und Liegemöglichkeiten, Grill, Blumen, Palmen, viel Platz...wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man so braucht. Maleme erreicht man in etwa fünf Minuten mit dem Auto, zu Fuß sind es um die zwanzig Minuten. Auch der Strand mit Restaurants und Cafés ist in weniger als einer halben Stunde fußläufig zu erreichen. Vielen Dank an die Vermieter!

Wunderbar gelegen, alles da, was man braucht!
Wir hatten 12 Tage Urlaub in der Villa Edem und bekamen zur Begrüßung einen Korb mit Leckereien und einer lieben Karte in der Küche vorbereitet. Es ist alles im Haus, was man braucht! Zwei separate Toiletten auch (gut mit Teenager). Mit dem Auto sind es 5 Minuten bis zum Supermarkt Synka, 10 min bis Lidl oder Platanias. Es ist einfach toll gelegen. Der Schlüssel ist bei Ankunft hinterlegt und bei fragen und Hilfe ist Hannah jederzeit per Whattsapp erreichbar. Christine hat sich auch um unser Wohl gesorgt während des Aufenthalts. Der Pool war einfach klasse und die Aussicht super. Ein Auto sollte man hier trotzdem haben. Nach Chania in die Altstadt sind es 27 Minuten mit dem Auto und die Anbindung an die New Road ist super. Es war ein toller Urlaub!

Lovely base to explore a wonderful island
We spent 3 very nice weeks in June at the villa and returned with great memories of Crete after many wonderful excursions and experiences.
The property provided an excellent anchor point for many activities. The villa is in a quiet location in an olive grove, a little away from the touristy coastal town. The beautiful Xania is within easy reach. Likewise, many of the particularly beautiful beaches in the west/southwest of Crete can be easily reached. Well-stocked supermarkets are within a few minutes' drive. Many activities can be booked locally, such as diving. We would definitely recommend a car for visitors.
The very well maintained villa was the perfect size for us as a small family. The pool and barbecue sweeten the stay at home. You also get used to dinner on the balcony with sea view very quickly. The villa has a well-stocked kitchen, preparing fresh food for our baby was no problem. The cot and high chair are very helpful for parents of small children.
We would like to thank the always very friendly landlords and the local staff for the great and smooth stay and the always very good and friendly communication.
