The place is amazing, even better than in the pictures. It is immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, very comfortable, and well provisioned with enough food and supplies to get you started. The host is very responsive, and generous with information and assistance. You can walk out of the garden and straight onto the idyllic beach, and come right back to chill in the yard. There are decent dining options a 5 minute walk from the house, so you really don’t need to get in the car to go anywhere during your vacation unless you want to. Chania is only about a 20 minute drive, and the airport even closer. We loved our stay and will probably be back again.

Amazing home/view/area

Villa Minoa is a must stay location. Marathi beach is beautiful and there are several restaurants within walking distance. Alex greeted us and walked us through the entire home and even had some items pre stocked in the fridge for us. I spilled a few drops of water on the floor and there was not one ounce of dirt on the paper towel. This home is spotless. I cannot rave about this property enough. From the booking to the chef we hired, and Alex as our guide to the homeowner conversations, it is one of my most favorite places I have visited. Thank you for such a wonderful holiday, we will see you again.

Perfect accommodation, Great hospitality

I've just returned from Crete after staying in the villa for a week. It had everything we needed and a few extras too, such as bottled water, fruit, homemade raki, herbs, spices, coffee, tea, honey etc. The outdoor area was great for lounging around, but the beach was even better, with a few sun loungers exclusive to the owner's properties. The views were spectacular. Checking in was a simple process and Alex gave us a tour of the property on arrival. The owner was very welcoming and kind to us during our stay. We often saw him around the area. We stayed here in the quieter season (October onwards) so the temperature was perfect (25 Celcius) and the area was much more peaceful. I highly recommend this villa for anyone looking for a peaceful base with spectacular views and facilities. Thank you for making our stay comfortable and memorable.

Wonderful week in Marathi

We can not say enough good things about this home in Marathi! Spiro (the owner) has made an extraordinary effort to make the property beautiful and made us feel at home immediately. From the well stocked kitchen with fresh fruits and plenty of food/drinks to get the week started, we were able to relax right away. Alex is an excellent communicator and personally oriented us with the property as well as making great local suggestions for activities and restaurants. Both of them were there to greet us when we arrived. We spent most of our mornings and evenings on the porch lounging and enjoying the beautiful view. The home is every bit as beautiful as the pictures, if not more so!!! As others have noted, there are great restaurants and activities right at your doorstep. The location is also very convenient to the airport and many other attractions such as historic monasteries and other great local beaches. We are already planning our next trip and hope to return to Villa Minoa soon!! Thank you so much to both Spiro and Alex for making our trip very special!!

Unique home steps from the beach.

We love Villa Minoa. Spiro, the owner, clearly loves his property and has taken great care to decorate it with unique pieces from his travels in Bali. He has thought of everything. The house is spotless and well-stocked, including several bottles of water, delicious fresh fruit and Greek yogurt. The location just across from a lovely calm beach is perfect. Spiros has two beach chairs under an umbrella permanently on hold for the guests. There are a couple great beachside tavernas right there along with kayak and SUP rentals all right there on the beautiful bay. Alex was great explaining all the details in advance and meeting us to check-in even though we arrived quite late, and he shared many recommendations for local shopping, restaurants and activities. We only wish we could have stayed longer. The house would be perfect for a family - very child friendly.

Just beautiful!

To put this first: We usually don't visit holiday places twice, but Villa Minoa at Marathi Beach had to be an exception. The house, the beach, the whole place is just awesome. We (family with two kids) were there in june 2022 and again in june 2023 and enjoyed each stay so much. Alex is such a nice guy and awesome to communicate with, so organizing the trip is an easy one. Same goes for Spiros who owns the house and is always so helpful! If you are looking for a relaxing time at the beach this is the place to be!

Simply the best!

Villa Minoa, Marathi beach, all the nearby tavernas, and Crete itself - all exceeded our expectations. The villa was just wonderful- spacious, cool in the summer heat with a lovely shaded veranda to sit and while away an evening enjoying a local fish on the barbecue. We really appreciated being able to eat in some nights and eat out on others with our 3 grown children. The local tavernas are only a few minutes walk away and offer the best of Crete’s delicacies from land and sea. The beach was beautiful and the ability to have our own sun beds whenever we needed them was so appreciated. The sea was an amazing turquoise blue coloring, clear to the bottom with beautiful fish to watch whilst snorkeling. We also enjoyed the use of the villa’s paddle board. The location of Marathi is super too giving the opportunity for various day trips including of course Chania, Rethymno, Samaria Gorge, mountain tavernas, olive oil farms etc. And then of course there is Spiros - the host who cares deeply that all his guests have a wonderful holiday- delivering fresh figs every day for breakfast, and ensuring we lacked for nothing. We loved meeting him and all his feathered and furry friends - a more warm hearted man would be hard to meet, As a family we have had the good fortune to have many lovely holidays but this was definitely one of the very best! Thank you for everything Spiros!

A piece of heaven in Marathi

This home is an absolute jewel. Located steps away from the most peaceful beach with the clearest water I have ever seen, and full of treasures— shells and objects from the sea and prints based on the murals from the palace of Knossos are found throughout the villa. Our host Spiros was so kind and ensured we had reserved lounge chairs at the beach and that they were covered with the thickest covers. And he made sure the villa was well stocked with fresh fruit, water, and coffee. He even left us cold beer and a bottle of wine! The Villa is comfortable and honestly we had the best shower there that we had the whole time we were in Greece, but the outdoor living area is idyllic. The outdoor lighting makes the space magical whether you want to eat a meal or lounge in one of the many lounge chairs. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect space and my only regret is that we couldn’t stay there for a few additional days!

Fantastic, Unbelievable

This villa was very much more than we expected. The villa was immaculate. We were in awe when we entered the grounds, so well kept. The refrigerator was well stocked with beverages and assorted food. On the grand table was a large bowl of all varieties of fresh fruit. There was great attention to detail in the furnishing of the villa. It was just a few steps from a beautiful beach. And best of all, the host was so very gracious. Wish we could have stayed longer.

The place worth going back definitely!

Super villa which is locating at absolutely marveolus place. You get, what you expect, even more! Spiros is so nice and friendly man! It was amazing when we realised the almost full fridge, when we arrived. We rented several villas at many corners of the World but we had never such a surprising welcome! House is realy fully equiped and everything is available even for long staying. The beach is clean and children friendly and only a steps away from the villa. Within 5 minuts walking distance, we can find two tavernas, which served us delicious food in familiar ambience. We can recommend this villa for those people who are looking for something high quality on reasonable price at peaceful environment!

Perfect summer holiday villa

Wonderful comfortable villa next to a semi private beach looked after by the owner. Stunning 3 bedroomed villa (2 doubles and 2 large twin beds), good air-con, good WiFi, excellent facilities (no dishwasher or washing machine but that wasn’t a problem). Nothing is too much to ask for the owner, who lives next door. There’s tv and internet. There are restaurants and cafes nearby, as well as fishing, diving and boating trips to be had. Safe swimming, crystal clear waters suitable for all ages, in a bay so no waves to speak of. 10 min drive from the airport and 20 min drive into Chania old town. Beautiful drives to be had into the countryside/foothills of the white mountains, full of olive groves and old villages offering old fashioned local hospitality and cuisine.

Beautiful beach,spacious home,relaxing holiday

We spent two wonderfully relaxing weeks at Villa Minoa. The villa itself is very comfortable with 2 double rooms and one twin. There is also a large family room and well equipped kitchen. The garden has lots of comfortable seating and a dining table and chairs. The best thing though is that the beautiful beach is across a quiet road from the bottom of the garden. Here the owner showed us to our own specially reserved sun loungers on a reserved part of the beach that were exclusively ours for the duration of our holiday. Marathi Beach has golden sands and clear waters and about 4 decent restaurants offering local food. There are a number of sun beds laid out for hire along the beach but even when full the beach is not overcrowded. The villa is only half an hours drive from Chania airport and we hired a car and alternated day trips with chill out time at the beach. All in all a very relaxing villa for families with younger or older children to enjoy! Highly recommend!

Lovely house, lovely beach, lovely restuarants, wonderful owner

The house is great, the location is just steps away from the beach. The beach is great and comes with two resident ducks! The owner is so responsive and his hospitality is amazing. Beach towels, maid service, fresh fruit, wine, and lounge chairs with umbrellas saved for us each day are all included. There are 4 restaurants that you can walk to with outside seating on the water. 20 minute drive to Chania. We loved our stay and we would stay here again.

Perfect spot - you won't want to leave!

We are a family of 4 who visited Villa Minoa for a week in September 2016. Spiros and Alex made us feel very welcome: we loved the villa and its location with a beautiful outlook and just a few steps from the beach. The villa is well equipped and we found everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Alex was very prompt in resolving an initial problem with the villa wifi: we had no problems afterwards. Chania is about a 20 minute drive and is a lovely city - well worth visiting. Marathi itself is well served by 4 or 5 excellent restaurants all offering fresh seafood at very reasonable prices. We'd heard that Marathi is good for snorkeling and it did not disappoint - safe, easy snorkeling allowed us to see a huge variety of fish. We spent almost all week in the sea. The colours and light are also great for photography. Kayaks and pedalos are available to hire at the beach. A perfect balance of relaxation and activity for those wanting a week away from it all. Definitely one of our best family holiday spots. I would recommend Villa Minoa to families and groups looking for a quiet relaxing holiday. We look forward to returning.

Beautiful magical holiday

We have just spent a week at Villa Minoa - this is our second time staying there and yet again we had the most amazing, relaxing, fantastic time - Spiros has built such a beautiful paradise and takes such pride in his creation. He couldn't do enough for us and we felt so welcomed by everyone in Marathi. Our children (aged 6 & 9) had the most wonderful time catching fish, picking up starfish, watching octopus and crabs in the rock pools in front of the house. We didn't do much other than stay in Marathi as it is such a wonderful little part of the world. The restaurants on the beach are fantastic and this time the local taverna was open just 50 metres from the house and we spent a lot of time there eating fresh fish and looking at the wonderful view (they even kindly cooked us up the big fish our son caught the morning we were leaving!) As a family we all absolutely love going to Marathi and seeing Spiros and his family and friends, and we have already booked for next year - we can't wait!! Thank you Alex and Spiros again for a most wonderful time in Crete.

If in doubt book it. The villa is beautifully presented & kept, the gardens are well maintained & the beach is a stones throw away. Spiros (the owner) couldn't have been more helpful, bread, milk & the basics were ready for us when we arrived & he regularly appeared with food or toys for ourselves & the kids. We have a 3.5 year old & a 17month old & we all had a fantastic holiday. We would definitely go back.

A wonderful, peaceful villa next to the beach - a perfect base to explore West-Crete.

We had a fantastic week here with our 3 teenage children. The villa is located next to a quiet, peaceful beach in a bay which made it quite warm for early April. We swam in the wonderfully clear water every day. We spent many hours just sun bathing on the beach or on the villa patio. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets just sitting on the rocks by the coast line a few minutes walk away from the villa. Marathi is a quiet but friendly village with a few lovely restaurants. It was a perfect base for us to explore the rest of Crete, particularly the west. We visited a few stunning monasteries, walked in the mountains, enjoyed a few other beaches amongst which Stavros where Zorba the Greek was filmed. Chania is a very beautiful city only half an hour away and worth exploring. We also had a day trip to Knossos. Alex and Spiros welcomed us the first evening and gave lots of advice about the area. Spiros was around every day and was a marvellous host - he made sure we were comfortable and gave us an insight into Cretan village life. He also took us on a boat trip around the nearby islands which was very memorable. We would definitely go again and recommend this villa to anyone who is thinking of visiting Crete. Before we booked the villa, we also looked at hotels but being in a villa is much better when you go on holiday as a family because it means you spend more time together. The villa had everything we needed - brilliant cooking facilities, including bbq, plenty of towels, a lovely shower and the villa was even cleaned for us mid-week. Having Spiros' pets nearby (cats, dogs and a tortoise) was a lot of fun! Highly recommended to families with children of all ages!
