Exceptional stay
I am struggling to find works to describe our stay. We have spent last 5 years organising business trips which ranged from 16-30+ people and this has been an absolute show stopper. The villa itself is absolutely beautiful, so close to the beach and some brilliant restaurants. The on hand service from Etouri is excellent to the point we have already booked another stay with them for next year. Sofia who manages the villa is ever so lovely and ever so helpful with anything. Would 100% recommend the villa and providers for anyone looking for a fantastic holiday. Loukoulos & the boat rental just down the road are both amazing.

Wonderful family holiday
A beautiful Villa and pool in a superb location, just a short walk from the beach and 3 Tavernas, all which serve lovely food. Our favourite Taverna was Loukoulos, the staff are very friendly and the food delicious. There is a range of watersports on the beach - paddle boarding, kayaking, pedalo's, fishing boats to hire which kept a wide range of ages active. The sea was clear and warm, great for children. Etouri the rental company are superb and very helpful. We all really enjoyed our stay in Marathi.

Best of the best!!
We absolutely loved our stay here! We were a large group of about 10 people and the accommodations for all of us were amazing! The staff went above and beyond and were there to help with any questions we had. The location of the home was absolutely amazing, right across the street from the beach. It was truly like staying in paradise. It is a close driving distance from most shops, and there are many restaurants across the stress on the beach. The home was incredibly clean and included so many amenities. We absolutely loved our stay and cannot wait to be back soon!

Family holiday
We took our children, grandchildren, sister & brother in law on a holiday to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and what fabulous time we had. The beautiful Villa Palena had everything to cater for a large group of various ages, with a fabulous pool area with outside kitchen/BBQ area which we used constantly, and lots of other amenities to keep everyone of all ages entertained. The beautifully furnished bedrooms all have their own en-suites-a must with such a large group, and the house was equipped with everything we could wish for. Sophia was on hand to help with lots of information and kept the house immaculately clean. The location is family orientated with a lovely sandy beach with beds & brollys and 3 or 4 restaurants/bars are only a 5 minute walk. A car is a must for food shopping as there are no shops within walking distance but we just hired a small runaround for essentials. The taxi service is good for a visit to and Chania town (only 20mins away) and is so pretty with its lovely cobbled streets. Prior to travelling, the agent/owner was always prompt in answering emails and was happy to give us lots of information I would thoroughly recommend Villa Palena for a family holiday

Wonderful Villa Palena
The villa is gorgeous. All the bedrooms are beautiful and the kids loved the basement with the pool table etc. The outdoor furniture and pool are lovely. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach and plenty of tavernas. The sea was crystal clear and fantastic swim in. As there was no local bakery we sometimes bought bread and tzatziki as takeaway and had it as lunch at the villa. Sofia is an absolute gem, came in most days and would get us any shopping we needed. Sofia was so very kind, helpful and generous. We all agreed it was the best holiday we have had and would love to return.

A perfect villa in every way
We were a party of 8 adults and 4 children and could not recommend this Villa enough. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, in fact everything is to a very high standard. The outside area is lovely, with a great pool. I have to specifically mention Sophia too, who came in every day to clean, not only did she keep the Villa immaculate but she was so helpful and friendly, and the children loved her. The location is perfect, being only a short walk to a beautiful beach and a few tavernas and bar. The Etouri Team were really helpful, quick and efficient throughout, from answering questions when I was booking, to arranging a transfer minibus, and we also had the private chef (Naked Chef - the company, not literally!) come to the Villa to cook one evening, which I would thoroughly recommend. Everything is catered for, and it made for a fantastic holiday."

Perfect villa
The villa was oustanding. The location is perfect as it's a really short walk to the beach and there are 2-3 restaurants to dine in. We loved being able to pop down to the beach and back to the villa again whenever we wanted to. Sofia did a great job, cleaning the villa every day (except Sundays). The villa is really well stocked with crockery, glasses etc and has a great, large fridge. The air conditioning wasn't as effective as we'd have liked in the bedrooms (particularly at the top of the villa - our children had to move down to the basement to sleep as it was too hot in the bedrooms upstairs) but it was 38 degrees during our stay so very hot. The swimming pool was great although relatively small given the size of the villa. Pool area and sunbeds etc were great. We had a really special holiday and everyone was really helpful - Sofia went out of her way to help with anything we needed. We did think that cleaning for 3-4 hours every day was not totally necessary, however - perhaps just cleaning the kitchen/communal area each day and then whole villa revert 2-3 days would suffice. thanks for a wonderful holiday!

Wonderful Villa Palena
We where a group of 13 friends (6 couples and one single) from 🇮🇸 and 🇳🇴 and we chose Villa Palena due to the location. 4 minutes to walk to the beach and 3-4 restaurants, and only 20 minutts with excellent small bus to Chania. The house functioned excellent and the few problems we had was solved almost immediately. Yes, we would have liked to have more capacity for toasting bread a more coffee pots, but this is only details. The pool was great, and everything in the house worked perfectly incl. the air conditioning (we had up to 37 degrees)☀️ Most of all we where very satisfied with all the great service Etori (conserige service) provided👍👍 Finally , and importantly, we have to give Sophia and her team the highest ranking for excellent service and very positive attitude👌👍 We all left Villa Palena with this; yes we would like to come again👍👍
