Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sophie L. 17 Aug 2018 #### Beautiful villa aelia We could not recommend Villa Aelia more highly. We stayed as two families in this villa with seven child between us and absolutely loved it. It is beautifully decorated with modern clean fittings and views to sea. The villa is very large and airy and easily accommodated our large party. There are several large dining tables both in and out which meant we were able to eat as one. The villa is air conditioned but also has window nets so we were able to have windows open at night. The beds are incredibly comfortable and bathrooms are fitted to a high standard and there was plenty of hot water. There are several smart TVs throughout the villa so our children were able to sit in the evening and watch films whilst we enjoyed local wine and food. The outdoor area is beautiful with comfortable sun loungers and chairs. The pool itself is warm and clean and our kids spent the best part of the week in. Holiways were fantastic from start to finish and especially Stella who was on hand throughout, including giving us a warm welcome with snacks and most importantly beer and prosecco already cooled in the fridge! This truly is a fantastic villa, well equipped and luxurious! Will definitely be returning!! ##### Sophie L. ### 8/10 Good #### joy-maria f. 2 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely vacation villa We had a very nice time in the villa. Great pool area, very nice rooms and bathrooms, lots of space and quite close to Chania. A great place to stay for big familys or a group of friends. ##### joy-maria f.

Stayed 11 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fiona S. 31 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous villa stay 14 of us (3 generations of one family) have just spent a week at this beautiful villa. The property is newly renovated, very well appointed & high spec; the bedrooms & bathrooms are very luxurious, with super comfy beds & excellent air con. The ground floor area works particularly well, with the large pool, deck & outdoor bbq / seating area leading into the new kitchen with huge dining table. We ate outside every lunchtime & eve, & it was excellent to find such a good arrangement. The villa was spotlessly clean. The only downside was that - as the property only sleeps 12 in proper beds - the additional camp beds, while fine for smaller children, are not really sturdy enough for teenagers +. Stella was a fantastic property manager, very responsive to our queries & full of useful suggestions. She very kindly did a comprehensive shop prior to our (very late) arrival, & was very accommodating for a late check out. I have given 4 stars for check in only because, having arrived late & in the dark, the google coordinates for the villa took us to the immediately previous house, next door! In the daylight we realised that there is a clear villa sign at the entrance to the villa; it would have been helpful to have known to look for this! The villa is in a vey residential area, so beautifully quiet & tranquil, apart from a few barking neighbourhood dogs! A really lovely stay. ##### Fiona S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne-Kathrin B. 21 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Traumurlaub Es war ein toller Urlaub! ##### Anne-Kathrin B. Stayed 12 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael H. 7 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Space and comfort What a fantastic space, beautiful pool, garden, superb 6 bedrooms and loads of space. Super comfortable beds in the bedrooms. Lots of bathrooms, whole house very clean. Great proximity to both Chania (+-7kms) and a lovely walk local beaches (+-2km's - can be hot in mid summer). You do need a car. Local village also pretty, walking distance (+-800m), and perfect for essential groceries. The only criticisms (which is perhaps unfair because our whole family loved the stay) were the neighbourhood's barking dogs at night (in otherwise perfect silence); 2nd kitchen gas stove didn't work (but wasn't really needed as the poolside kitchen is better to entertain); and the beds / sleeper couches outside of the 6 bedrooms weren't great (so if you only need the 6 bedrooms then you're in heaven). Stella was exuberant and helpful. ##### Michael H. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark f. 5 Jun 2019 #### Absolutely stunning Villa, with an amazing host. The whole family had a brilliant time!!! I cannot recommend the Villa and Stella as a host more highly. The Villa itself is very clean with beautifully decorated rooms and a gorgeous Kitchen. The pool is a great size and is perfectly located in the countryside, with some outstanding local taverns within walking distance. Stella as a host was quite frankly the best in the business. She went above and beyond to accommodate us and make sure our stay was brilliant. Again I cannot recommend her highly enough. ##### Mark f. Stayed 8 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin L. 22 Aug 2018 #### Amazing house! Perfectly located close to Hania and the beaches! The house has just been completely renovated, all furnitures and appliances looked new. The house was perfect to accomodate our large groupe of 11, all bedrooms and all beds were confortable. The balconies offer a gorgeous view on the surrounding villages and the sea. Overall our rental expericence was A-1 and the managers were just awsome. ##### Martin L.
