Despina went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time with our newborn.
Gorgeous home.
Helped us coordinate with an amazing private chef for our stay. Also helped us find a photographer for our stay.
Top tier. Felt like a home and not a hotel or air B and B. Amazing breakfast everyday.
Great location for day trips. Modern.
Couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more.
Despina, our host, was the most helpful and enjoyable person to work with in all our travels. We had weather related travel delays, lost passports, unexpected tour occurrences which she helped us navigate through. The on site breakfast by chef Victor was spectacular and he even catered in a meal for us on request. The villas architecture and artwork was superb and special welcoming touches were noted on arrival. The patio sunset views were not to be missed against the mountains and the blue sea. Hopefully we can visit again. If you are in Crete don’t miss it.
Wow! This was a beautiful, clean, amazingly well furnished villa! Great architecture and surrounding grounds! But the best part is Despina our most accommodating host! She responded so quickly to any questions, great knowledge of the area and made our visit definitely a 5 star stay!! You will love it!
Despina is a wonderful and welcoming host who reached out to us immediately once the booking was made. She met us on arrival at the villa to give us a tour, also leaving a prepared welcome hamper which is just what we needed after our travel there. The villa itself is stunning, beautifully decorated and immaculately clean, with the pool and garden area being particularly beautiful. We stayed for 10 days (family of 3) in Villa Orangina, and as we stayed in April, we opted to have pool heating (which is an extra charge). We enjoyed the privacy of the villa and the surrounding area which is very peaceful and quiet. There are speakers in the sitting area outside which was lovely when spending time outside or in the pool. In the mornings, we had oranges from the garden for juice (juicing machine in kitchen) and there are also kumquat trees where you can eat the fruit directly from the tree itself. We had a car which made it easy for us to visit Falasarna beach, Platanias and several visits to the old harbour in Chania. We had a wonderful time .......we'll definitely be coming back.
Fantastic stay at Villa Mandarina. The villa was luxuriously decorated , clean and faultless; the architecture is truly brilliant. The villa itself is equipped with everything you could possibly require, extremely spacious (we were 2 couples and would have ample room for 3 couples). The outside area is very large with outdoor sound system and gets the sun all day. Despina, the host, was fantastic from start to finish, answering all questions during the booking period and even organised a chef to make breakfast for us on the first morning.
I highly recommend this luxury villa for any group! The village is within walking distance however we used a driver recommended by Despina to visit the local winery and Chania.
