Amazing villa - pictures don't do it justice. Bit of a long walk to town, so maybe a hire car would have been good. Diana was an excellent host, and really helpful throughout the week. We had the best time!

Amazing villa that is even better than the pictures
7 of us stayed at the villa for 8 nights and really enjoyed both our stay and Chania/ Crete as a whole. - The pool is even bigger than it looks and a great size, all 7 of us fit in it comfortabley - Towels are frequently changed and in general the staff are very friendly and helpful - Great extra appliances like toastie maker, coffee machine, washing machine, etc - Amazing views, from any point in the villa you can see either the sea or the mountains - Easy accessibility to a 24/hr mart within walking distance and 7 min ride into the centre of town

Fantastic Villa with a view
Villa Mariposa provided everything we were looking for. Luxurious and immaculately clean villa, beautifully tended gardens, a pool big enough to swim in and the most amazing views from its hilltop position. Shops and bakery/cafe 10 minutes down the hill and Chania a short drive away. We hired a car via Stratos and Diana from the lovely Eirini at "Drive-it" and found the island easy to explore. Highly recommended and hope to come back.

Stunning Villa and Views
We have just returned from Villa Mariposa and i can not recommend this villa enough. It was amazing waking up to the most beautiful views and watching the sunset go down every night. As soon as we arrived and were greeted by Diana and her mum who were lovely, there was a home made cake waiting and lots of goodies to last us until we could do a big shop. Mum was such a sweet lady who made us cakes and goodies which were delicious. Diana was always on hand to help with anything we were struggling with, even ordering us some food one night as the take away didn't speak very good English. There is a small shop at the bottom of the road for your essentials and a lovely little bakery which we often visited. I do have to mention Sophie the housekeeper who was fantastic providing us with fresh flowers,she even put my washing out one day for me while we were out. I have never seen a villa so clean after she had cleaned it. Not that it stayed clean for long not with my grown up children. I would recommend a car but the taxis to Chania are quite reasonable 10euros each way. The pictures really don't do the villa justice as it was the most amazing villa that we have ever stayed at and we have stayed at a few in the past few years. Big Thank you and lots of love to Diana, Stratos, mum and Sophie.
