Maria Villas

We stayed for four nights at this hotel/apartments. Our room was clean, the kitchen was good and the bed was comfortable. However, this place does not check reviews provided by previous guest on trip advisor as the issues listed years ago are still the same: breakfast is not very good for 10 euros per person, far away from the nearest town and rooms need a bit of an update. I agree with previous comments that question the four star for the hotel as I am not sure if it even meets three stars.

An hour's drive from Chania, or two and a half from Herakleion, Maria Villas is just 20 minutes from Kissamos in the hills of voulgora. 8 self-catering apartments cater for groups of 2 to 6. For us, a family of 3, the location was perfect. One hour to the beautiful beach of Elafonissi passing through stunning scenery dotted with tavernas and olive groves in one direction, and one hour to the stunning harbour city of Chania in the other direction. Two local tavernas provide traditional food day and night and the local villages have well stocked supermarkets for your self-catering essentials. The pool has fantastic views of the valley below and the sea at Kissamos can be seen in the distance. There's a tranquility about this place, it's quiet, relaxed and beautiful. We opted for the breakfast package which is served from 9 to 11am. Ommlete, local sausage, fruit, cakes, yoghurt, coffee, ham, tomatoes, feta, olives, bread and coffee all bought to the table by the pool by the lovely Dimitra. What a beautiful person she is, always smiling and happy to help, she certainly made our stay at Maria Villas one we will never forget. Recommendations for your stay. *Rent a car. *Breakfast by the pool. *A day in Chania old town and harbour *Balos beach - comes with advisory in other reviews. *Elafonissi Beach and Agia Sofia caves. * A meal at one of the two local tavernas. *Sunset on your private patio.
