Villa was amazing, so peaceful and charming, Villa was spotlessly clean, Poppy who came to clean was adorable, even brought my granddaughter a lolly pop which she was delighted with, and made us all a cake which was delicious. We were given some local products and some raki, which again was a nice touch, George the hosts dad was super friendly too, I asked if there was an ice box at the villa for us to take to the beach, and the very next day we had one, nothing was too much trouble. The location was perfect, the villa was completely private and the village restaurants and shops were a 5 minute walk. In the words of my granddaughter “I’m dreaming Nannie “ she was in her element especially in the pool which was probably one of the best pools we have had, we always have villa holidays and this one was one of the best.

Villa Marianna is beautiful,the surrounding area is great,with the mountains in the distance,the walk from the villa to the village is no more than 10 minutes The Villa was spotless on arrival,and was fully cleaned again during our stay by the wonderful Poppy,who also brought us some delicious home made treats. If you need a local Taxi,Poppy's husband works for a local company,who we used on a number of occasions. We would also like to thank George,Lila,and George's father for making us feel so welcome,and to George's father for the wonderful local Cretan Cheese given to us on our departure. Our only regret is not staying longer at Villa Marianna. As a family,we can highly recommend a vacation at this Villa,and we will return in the future for another amazing holiday.

Oct 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful villa A lovely villa with excellent facilities. The downstairs living, dining & kitchen area is very spacious. Kitchen well equipped. The outside areas are vast , including a BBQ area, which we used several times and a pizza oven which we did not try. The swimming pool is lovely, possibly one of the nicest pools we have had. The pool and housekeeping was every few days which was ideal. Any issues were promptly responded to by George and usually sorted out by his wonderful father. Checking in and out was an easy process, we were met both on arrival and departure by George’s father. On arrival there was a bowl of fruit, water in fridge and some Raki! As a parting gift we were given some cheese which I believe was produced by the family. Overall a very relaxing holiday, the villa was just outside the local town which meant we had lots of privacy. There is also a small flat at the base of the house which comes with the villa, ideal for grandparents etc. Local town was a little over 10 minutes walk with cafes, tavernas and super markets. Lots of other tavernas within 15 minute driving range. At some point we will return to Crete and would certainly stay here again. ##### Claudio G.

Aug 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic Place - Great Hospitality We can give nothing but 5 stars. We felt so welcomed and even though we arrived late in the evening the first day we were greeted welcome, and the landlord had even prepared some food for us. The surroundings and the villa were great. It was nice to stay in Vryses, a little bit outside the tourist areas. The pool was nice, there was a lot of sunbeds as well as tables and chairs on the property. There was also air-conditioning in all bedrooms and the main living room. Everything worked as expected and whenever we had a question or a request we got immediate answers or service. We received a service well over what anyone could expect. The landlord delivered fresh cheese (own production) to us as well and on the day where we wanted to cook pizzas in the pizza oven (a great outdoor kitchen with a BBQ and pizza oven) the landlord showed up and prepared the oven for us - and they even brought some Greek specialties for us (Kalitsounia). Even during checkout, the landlord was being extraordinary flexible. We felt welcome and appreciated all the time. Thanks a lot, to Villa Marianna and the family behind it! Our best and most sincere recommendations for this Villa Marianna. We will definitely come back again. ##### Soeren Degn J. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julian B.

Wir sind mit 6 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern (3 und 5) angereist. 4 Schlafzimmer haben damit für alle vollkommen ausgereicht. Die Küche und Badezimmer sind in sehr gutem Zustand und gut ausgestattet. Das Gebäude ist sauber und in einem sehr guten Zustand! Das Grundstück an sich ist sehr groß, der Pool bietet einen sehr gute Abkühlung und ist sowohl für Schwimmer als auch Nichtschwimmer geeignet. Es gibt genügend Liegen zum Sonnen und entspannen, auch Handtücher waren vorhanden. Die anliegende Grill-Küche (Holzkohle) haben wir mehrfach genutzt um abends im Freien noch etwas zu essen. Im anliegenden Ort (Vryses)gibt es mehrere Supermärkte in denen alles notwendige eingekauft werden kann. Das Haus liegt etwas abgelegen, aber ruhig. Perfekt für Familien mit Kindern. Es empfiehlt sich hier, ein Mietauto zu nutzen. Strand ist innerhalb von 15 Minuten zu erreichen (z.B. Kalyves). Chania liegt knapp 30 Minuten entfernt. Der Flughafen ca. 40 Minuten.

La casa è proprio come si vede dalle foto, la proprietà è spaziosa all'esterno e all'interno. La piscina, sempre pulita, è stata molto goduta dai bambini e dai genitori che ne hanno approfittato per rilassanti aperitivi. Il giardino è curato e ricco di piante di tanti tipi. Abbiamo anche sfruttato il barbecue, spazioso e ben attrezzato, c'è un tavolo proprio li vicino per mangiare sotto il portico. All'interno ci sono 4 comode camere doppie, 3 sono nell'appartamento superiore e 1 nell'appartamento a piano terra. Il nostro gruppo era composto da 8 persone e ci siamo sistemati tutti comodamente. La sala e la cucina a primo piano sono ampie e attrezzate, anche se noi abbiamo sempre mangiato in terrazza. La casa si trova in campagna, tra orti e ulivi, da lì si possono raggiungere le spiagge più vicine in 12 minuti di auto. L'ospitalità dei proprietari ci ha sorpreso, molto attenti a ogni nostro bisogno, ci hanno fatto trovare all'arrivo dei fagottini di formaggio fatti in casa e nei giorni successivi la signora ci ha offerto un'ottima moussaka preparata sempre da lei. Consigliatissimo! ##### Francesco G. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon K.

Lilla and George were incredibly welcoming and helpful from first email contact through our entire stay at the property. The photos are accurate and the property is a lovely space to stay in, about 5-10 minutes’ stroll from Vrysses village centre and 15mins drive or so from Georgiopolis and the nearest beaches. George also arranged for a wonderful home-cooked celebration meal for my Dad to be prepared on one of the nights. The food was lovely, very reasonably priced and it really made our trip special. We look forward to coming back! ##### Simon K. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Werner K.

George, his father and Poppy did help us with everything we needed. With a car the small village vryses is close to nice beaches, restaurants and other activities. But you could also enjoy the pool all day long and make a nice bbq with fresh fish from a local store in the evening or even enjoy the jacuzzi on a rainy day. Behind the house there is a fruit plantation. Georges father did provide us with a lot of fresh grapes, pear, figs and more. They were really delicious. We are looking forward to our next visit! ##### Klara B. Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth B.

This property is a tranquil haven away from the tourist areas, a place to truly relax & feel like you’ve got away from it all. It’s only a short drive to a wealth of different beaches to choose from, and shore-lined tavernas & cafe bars. We liked Kalivaki beach & the long stretch of sand by Poseidon Beach bar. But when we wanted a relaxing day at the villa, lounging by the pool, it had everything we needed. We had 6 in our family group & the villa was perfect with ample space. The hosts, George & Lila, were very attentive & helpful, and quick to respond if we needed advice about the local area. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this wonderful villa to others; & I hope to be back again one day in the future. ##### Suzie D. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### liat p.

The property is beautiful with plenty of outside space including balconies to enjoy evening meals on and a brilliant bbq area including a pizza oven. The pool is more than big enough to properly enjoy. The local village is very picturesque and the shops there have everything required for your stay. George & Lila the owners of the villa and were always happy advise, help or assist wherever they could. Also the villa is only 15 mins drive from the beach. I would highly recommend staying here. ##### Ian W.
