Beyond the house, a flower bordered path, some 80 m in length makes its way between avocados, kiwi fruit, pomegranates and kumquats as well as orange and lemon trees. Stone tables and benches are located in shady spots around the garden and there's even a couple of swings for the young at heart. Apart from fruit trees, Yiannis, the owner keeps chickens in an outhouse in the garden and there are also some itinerant ducks who wander off into the orange groves during the day and return at night to boast to the chickens of their exploits. Please bear in mind that Yiannis will call in every few days to tend to his livestock, but if you like going native and prefer the world of nature to human kind, Maro's little house is definitely an experience too good to miss. Location No more than 15 minutes by car from bustling [Chania](https://www.freelancevillas.com/chania-villas/) harbour and a 5 to 10 minute drive across country to the sandy beach at Kalamaki, Varipetro, the local village, boasts no more than a bakery, a couple of small shops selling basic necessities and a little cafenion.

The check in was easy and the property was what was advertised. We had a tiny problem while we were there and they were super responsive to the issue and had it resolved immediately. The pool and privacy were so amazing for us. It really is the selling point. I would book this space again without hesitation. ##### Cindy D. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandrine L. 16 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location This small house just 10 minutes from Chania (very beautiful but very noisy town) is quietly located in the middle of a garden. Cleaning every 3-4 days included, friendly and very discreet owners. Fresh fruits from the trees and a gorgeous pool. Too bad there is only one room, I would have liked to come back with my children. At first you think you're lost in the middle of nowhere and then you realize it's paradise. ##### Sandrine L. Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diana 25 Oct 2024 #### A place for peace and serenity This is a place for nature lovers and for those looking for a high level of quiet and seclusion. The beautiful roses and bougainvillea, the orchards of fruit trees, the rooftop sunrise and sunset views, the amazing pool, the chickens and visiting cats all added to our sense of delight and contentment at Maros Spitaki. We spent our days playing backgammon at a shady table, or floating in the pool, or conversing with the chickens. The kitchen is well equipped, the house is clean and comfortable, the gardens are obviously tended with love. This property is perfect for a couple who wants to connect and recharge, and escape from the hectic outside world. We only stayed 5 nights, but are already planning a longer return trip. There is plenty to do within a short drive (we loved the botanical garden, especially), although in truth, every time we left, we couldn't wait to return to our little oasis. Thank you to the owners for sharing this very special place. And thank you to Freelance Villas and the Crete team for your excellent communication and service. Everything was perfect! ##### Diana ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ray C. 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Loved the location, peaceful, great surroundings a real chance to fully switch off ##### Ray C.

Maros Spitaki is well-situated to explore the greater Chania area, with many great restaurants only a short drive away, both in the city, as well as the surrounding area. For those travelers who appreciate a connection to nature, solitude and privacy, this is a fabulous choice. The resident (and visiting) animals are a bonus for us, as we love all creatures great-and small, while the beautiful flowers and fruit trees add to the beauty of the property. The bed and bedding are comfortable, and the air conditioning works well. The kitchen and bathroom are well equipped, with everything needed to self-cater. We are already planning 3rd visit to this little slice of heaven! ##### DIANA This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart 25 Jun 2022 #### Worth waiting three years! We really enjoyed returning to the peace & tranquility of Maros Spitaki. All the usual local amenities were in tact and indeed Galatas looked better than before with more shops open. The property looked tidier especially the garden. Small things like the wonky tap in the kitchen should be fixed and may be the bath replaced with a modern shower cubicle or even a new bath. ##### Stuart This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 15 Jul 2023 #### Quiet rustic Cretan retreat with a lovely pool Secluded, surrounded by citrus groves and there is a lovely pool which we had all to ourselves during our 2 week stay. It is an ideal location for exploring the whole Chania region- all the roads are in outstanding condition and the drives through the mountains were spectacular. We were very close to the Botanic Gardens which we visited 4 times as they have a great restaurant. It would be really useful to have a fan in the sitting room as there is no air conditioning there. It would also be very useful to be able to close the bedroom door which seems too big for the frame ##### Christopher ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniela S. 13 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Wir waren zufrieden und hatten alles was wir brauchten.
