Jan 30, 2019 #### Traumvilla mit Traumsicht Wir haben die Maffeo gut gefunden und waren sofort verliebt in sie. Es ist alles und noch viel mehr vorhanden, als man sich wünschen kann. Die Villa war sehr sauber und gepflegt, aber so kennen wir die Kretafan Villas auch! Helga und Sifis haben uns gut beraten und wieder einige Geheimtipps gegeben. Wir waren heuer schon das dritte Mal auf Kreta und bei Beibls. Das Haus können wir mit bestem Gewissen weiterempfehlen. Von Kastellos aus ist man in 25 Minuten im Süden in Plakias, Damnoni etc. Das Kloster Preveli liegt fast auf dem Weg. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. Die Vier aus Bayern ##### Caroline B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriele S. Jan 30, 2019 #### Villa als Adlerhorst Wir waren heuer schon mal bei Helga und Josef. Wiederholungstäter, wie Josef immer sagt. Es war wieder super. Gerne bewerten wir die Villa mit fünf Sternen. Wir werden auch wieder zu Euch kommen. Viele Grüße von den Vier. Vielleicht nächstes Mal zur Olivenernte?! ##### Gabriele S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Georg S. Jan 29, 2019 #### Eine Woche wie im Paradies Im April 2018 durften meine Frau und ich eine Woche in der Villa Maffeo verbringen und die einzigartige Gastfreundschaft von Helga und Josef Bleibl genießen. Es war eine Woche wie im Paradies, es gibt kaum ein schöneres Ambiente, um am Pool zu entspannen, die Ruhe und den Ausblick zu genießen und der ab und zu vorbeiziehenden Schafherde zuzusehen. Die Villa inkl. Pool ist sehr gepflegt und sauber - wir können einen Aufenthalt dort uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Danke an das Ehepaar Bleibl für die aufmerksame und zuvorkommende Betreuung! ##### Georg S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ute J. Jan 27, 2019 #### Villa ohne Einschränkungen Herzlichen Dank an die Beibls. Unser Urlaub war ein einmaliges Erlebnis. Die Villa war mit allem ausgestattet wie in der Beschreibung beschrieben. Es war alles sauber und schön eingerichtet. Bei Fragen waren Helga und Josef immer da. Wir haben schon wieder gebucht. Ute und Jürgen ##### Ute J. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gùnter W. Jan 27, 2019 #### Ideale Villa zum Kreta-Erkunden Die Villa ist der ideale Ausgangspunkt zur Erkundung der Insel. Die Villa war wie immer Top gepflegt und alles in Ordnung. Wir waren in der Taverne in Goules, Gonia und bei Antonis in Prines. Alle super lecker. In ca 20 Minuten ist man im Sùden in Plakias. ##### Gùnter W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lutz G. Jan 27, 2019 #### Schöner Blick auf die Weißen Berge und die Ägäis Die Villa Maffeo läßt keine Wünsche offen. Es war alles wie beschrieben. Die Lage ist super. Auf der Straße kein Verkehr. Sehr sauber und gepflegt. Helga und Josef Beibl hatten super Tipps für uns und waren auch sonst immer für Fragen offen. Es hatten noch nicht alle Tavernen offen. In dem Haus liegt eine Liste mit Tavernen aus, die haben wir durchprobiert, alle erste Sahne. Wir haben viele Wanderungen unternommen. Da die Villa zentral liegt, kann man viele Plätze auf Kreta schnell erreichen. Wir waren schon öfter auf Kreta und kommen bestimmt bald wieder. Lutz ##### Lutz G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lena G. Jan 25, 2019 #### Sicht und Natur pur Die Villa Maffeo ist das Beste, das uns in diesem Urlaub passieren konnte. Die Sicht ist überwältigend. Das Haus ist komplett ausgestattet, mit allem, was das Herz begehrt. Der Pool ist super. Fast täglich kreisen riesige Greifvögel über uns, einfach super. In kurzer Zeit waren wir im Süden an den Stränden, im Kloster Preveli und anderen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Tavernen gibt es in Armeni, nur wenige Minuten entfernt. Und natürlich die Taverna in Kastellos bei Vassili. Wir haben dann noch eine zweite Villa der Beibl\`s in diesem Urlaub bewohnt. Wir kommen nächstes Jahr auch wieder. Lena und Passi ##### Lena G.
