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.

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.

Fantastic Viila

the villa is beautifully designed and presented. I was very impressed that you were given beach towels and pool towels as extras. Plenty of space to chill and relax. Easy walk to the beach. Can't wait to rebook again.

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.

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!

Why they chose this property

Architecture:
--------------------
Olea Villas are designed by one of the most famous architects in Crete using local materials of wood, stone and glass combined with traditional yet modern craftsmanship. They are an architectural delight featuring airy rooms with large windows bringing nature to you. The pastel interiors mix simple elegance and beautiful design with comfort and luxury.

Unique Location:
---------------------------
Loutraki is a small cove on the southern tip of the Akrotiri peninsula in Chania. It gives you the feeling that you are so far away from the city but at the same time so close to it. Protected from strong winds, it’s a quaint sandy beach great for everyone. Apart from Loutraki beach, there are a few to visit in Marathi Bay. It is the perfect location for your relaxing, peaceful, getaway vacation.

By The Beach:
----------------------
Within walking distance from Olea Villas a sandy beach with crystal clear turqoise waters awaits you. Enjoy your swim or have a Greek salad at the seaside restaurant or if you feel adventurous, explore the cove with SUP. Furthermore, Marathi Bay is located only 1.8km from Olea, with the option of three amazing beaches for you to explore or to discover the local gastronomy at the beachside tavernas.
