Conte Marino Villas

We stayed 1 week with a family of 6 people from Saguenay, Quebec, Canada at the villa Orangia. It was a wonderful week. Superb reception from Despina on our arrival in the evening and she is very caring and available at all times. Villa with tasteful architecture, high ceiling, tastefully decorated rooms. Outside garden with beautiful orange and olive trees , swimming pool, plenty of space to breathe and relax. Excellent breakfast; freshly squeezed orange juice, lots of choice and varied every day. We highly recommend.

Despina has created a place that is really unique, furnished with curated items and original artwork. The attention to detail is very obvious. All the needs are taken care of; providing some coffee capsules, beach towels, Starlink satellite Internet, huge TV, electrically retracting sunshade. Her hospitality was excellent with recommendations for places we would not have discovered. One of the best villas we have ever stayed at.

I rarely write reviews and I even more rarely rate something as "excellent" because I often have too high expectations and I almost always get disappointed. But about Conte Marino Villas I am happy to say that all my expectations were perfectly met. I stayed 2.5 weeks with my husband, 2 daughters (5 and 9 years old) and my parents-in-law (both 80 years old). The house offered the perfect space for everyone. There was privacy for the adults and lots of space for our daughters to run around. I liked basically everything in the design and functionality of the house, especially how the long corridor with both sides of glass looking onto the garden provided a perfect separation between living area and bedrooms. In fact we left thinking that if we ever build a house for ourselves we would like to have it like this. Breakfast was prepared for us in the adjacent garden and included every day something typical from Crete. Despina was super kind and provided suggestions and support during our entire stay. She was also incredibly supportive after our departure, when we realized only back home that we had left something in the car rental. She got directly in contact with the car rental company to help, realizing that for us was complicated to do it from back home given our hectic work schedule. We had chosen to come to Crete to enjoy the sea and also to visit some of my husband's family who lives in a village nearby. Conte Marino Villas provided the perfect location to visit family and at the same time visit the best beaches in western Crete. Every day we visited a different beach, and then came back to this dream house to relax. I would love to come back, maybe in October or in April to visit Crete off season. Now we know a home back from home.
