Beautiful villa with great pool area
5 of 5
This is a lovely house, with a beautiful outdoor area. The owner takes good care of his place, and want you to do the same. If you appreciate a nice home (and to treat it well), this is the place for you. Everything in the house is clean and fancy. The pool area is absolutely perfect and the kids, and the parents;), loved it. The villa is located in the countryside/rural surroundings, in a more quiet part of Crete. The farmers will come with the sheeps by the road in the morning, and the sunset is quiet and beautiful. At first I thought that it maybe was too far away, but it was the best place to be for us. The perfect place to get away, relax and enjoy. We had a car and went to Chania (ca.15 min drive) a couple of times, very nice in the old town (just keep away from the most tourist areas near the harbour;). We drove to Agia Marina, Kato Stalos and Platanias, and we were so happy we didn't ended up living/staying there. So busy and too much tourist area for us. Going back to lovely Kalathas, the house and not to forget, the Kalathas beach, was fantastic. The beach is so nice and charming with soft sand and shallow -perfect for the kids. It was clean, had a little kiosk to buy milkshake or cold beer, and a charming tavern serving local food. Sunbeds to rent if you want.
We were welcomed with some food and wine at the arrival, and the owner showed us the area and nearest supermarket where you can buy everything you need (not far to drive). We loved our stay in this beautiful villa, and maybe we will come back one day:)

We stayed here for 1 week with family and 3 young children. It was immaculate, spacious and really well kept. It's only 10 minutes to the big supermarket were we got our supplies for the week. The pools were great, especially the smaller pool for kids which they spent the whole week in. The owner allowed us stay longer on our last day because we had a later flight which was a godsend with 3 young kids, we really appreciated it! The whole family had a wonderful time and it was good for us to take time to relax and spend time together. I would recommend this villa to families as it so big and spacious, plenty of room for the 9 of us. We all would love to visit another time. Thanks for everything!

“Excellant villa, facilties and location.” Reviewed 6 June 2016 for a stay in May 2016
We spent a week at the villa from 28th May to 4th June 2016 as a celebration holiday with my daughter, son-law, two grandchildren ( ages 1 and 3), my son, his partner and two good friends. The villa is located amongst olive groves and the owner is creating walks through the grounds. All were amazed at the standard of the villa and the outside pool area. The villa had a separate self contained room which was great for our friends providing privacy whilst maintaining contact with the party, the basement room similarly good for our son and his partner and the first floor bedrooms sensibly laid out for parents with young children and access to the grandparents room!! there is also a lift from basement to 1st floor rooms.There was an excellent safe sandy beach within 15 minutes walk, be aware that the hill coming back up to the villa is challenging but a car was found to be invaluable. We were met at the villa by the owner who provided a instruction tour of the villa and grounds, a welcome pack was provided and the owner guided us to the nearest supermarket for our first provisions. An excellent holiday was had by all.

Hi,
Once again we want to thank you for a pleasant and warm hospitality, it was a real pleasure and we had a wonderful time.
This is our recommendation for your website;
We arrived to villa onar late at night, about 1am.
Mr. Nestoras waited for us at the villa with a warm welcome and fridge full of good snacks and fruits.
We stayed at the villa for 1 week, it was an amazing vacation, and we loved every minute of it.
Without a doubt there was a lot of thought invested in every little detail of the villa and it was a real pleasure to enjoy this place as our own home for a whole week.
In one of the nights we got stuck out of the villa because we forgot the keys, we called Mr. Nestoras and he arrived really fast to help us and open the door.
Mr. Nestoras is a great host, very nice person and will help you with everything you need.
You can trust him to make your vacation an amazing one.
Thank you,
The Rosenthal family

Wow,
My family of 8 has just stayed in this beautiful villa, built to a very high spec, and well maintained.
A welcome pack, food and drink was awaiting us when we arrived, a nice gesture so a supermarket run was not needed straight away. We were also greeted by the owners to show us round.
There were more then enough rooms to cater for us and more, plenty of bathrooms and towels.
Outside there are 2 pools with a bbq and wood fire oven, perfect for evenings to cook meals brought from local markets, the grounds of the property are kept beautifully with plenty of flower, herb and olive trees to go and explore.
Supermarkets are a walk or short drive away as well as the brilliant local beach.
The villa is set in a quiet location with views of the mountains and the sea. Lots of great beaches and restaurants all just a short drive away.
I would not hesitate to return here and fully recommend staying at the Villa and would give it 10/10 rating!
Thank you for a great holiday

Our family and extended family, a party of 10, spent five beautiful days in this villa in Kalathas. The house had a beautiful pool with the latest amenities. The house and the grounds were beautifully maintained. The kids had a blast swimming in the pool day or night. It is a short 10-15 minute walk downhill to the gorgeous Kalathas beach. A car is needed as it is a 20 minute drive to Chania.
The manager of the home was very accessible at all hours. He greeted us at the villa when we arrived after midnight to show us the villa and answer any questions we had about the villa or Chania.
We would definitely go back to Crete and stay in this villa.

We were a company of eight people staying from the 22nd of June till the 6th of July.
We were planned to arrive quite late in the evening and furthermore the flight was delayed. Despite of that Solar was there to welcome us with a big smile and to show us how the house worked.
Some fruit, bread and wine was arranged for us, so we could feel ourselves well received and so we didn’t have to fall asleep hungry.
Solor is a very kind and extraordinary polite person. He takes care of the installations in- and outside the house as well as he keeps the garden, the wine plants and the olive trees in perfectly good condition.
During our stay he was very helpful at all times. With his warmth, good spirit and friendliness he is an outstanding representative of the Cretan character - having him around we felt we had won an extra bonus.
As a sign of great hospitality and kindness the owner stopped by the second day to personally wish us all a pleasant stay in his house.
It really is a beautiful house which has everything you need for a big family. There is room for privacy and lots of possibilities for cozy socializing. You can hang out by the pool or at one of the terraces with spectacular good views over the sea which you can enjoy while you listen to the leafhoppers or the crickets - depending of the time of the day.
Both the garden surrounding the pool area and the big olive plantation are very well kept by Solor.
It is nearby the airport but the civilian air traffic was not annoying at all - some military planes were rather noisy but luckily they didn’t fly much during our stay.
A small mini market is within walking distance and if you are fit you can walk approximately 800 steep meters to (and from) the beautiful sand beach. Down by the beach we ate at two small tavernas. Other than that it is an absolute necessaty to have a car at your disposal.
The house was ideally located in relation to the attractions and other excursions that we chose.
We have no complaints whatsoever and we can really recommend the house.

Wir waren eine Woche zu Pfingsten mit 2 Familien (4 Erwachsene, 3 Kinder) in der Villa Onar.
Wir wurden freundlich vom Besitzer und vom Verwalter begrüßt. Letzterer ist ständig telefonisch erreichbar - und jeden Morgen vor Ort, um sich um das Grundstück zu kümmern.
Das Haus ist super! Mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht - und noch viel mehr.
Es gäbe viele Dinge positiv hervorzuheben (genug Handtücher in den Badezimmern, große Laken für die Sonnenliegen, komplette Küchenausstattung...), aber das beste für uns waren die völlig unversehrten Mückennetze an allen Fenstern und Türen. So kann man auch abends problemlos lüften und mit geöffneten Fenstern schlafen. Die Klimaanlage haben wir im Mai daher nicht benutzt.
Mit dem Auto ist die Villa prima erreichbar, Strand, Restaurants und Supermärkte in der Nähe.
Und ja, es gibt einen Flughafen und dort starten und landen auch Flugzeuge. Hier muss jeder selber entscheiden, ob ihn das stört. Nachts gibt es wenig bis gar keine Flüge, tagsüber ist man unterwegs... gestört haben uns allerdings wirklich die Militärflugzeuge, die um einiges lauter unterwegs sind als die Linienflieger.
Auch das vorher schon erwähnt Event-Hotel ist vorhanden, dort war aber nur an unserem Ankunftsabend Party, anschließend absolute Ruhe.
Der Pool ist super gepflegt, die Liegen ausreichend vorhanden, mit dicken Polstern und den schon erwähnten Badelaken. Nicht nur die Kinder haben das tägliche "Planschen" genossen.
Und das allerbeste: nach der Hälfte der Zeit kam eine Haushaltshilfe, hat das ganze Haus gereinigt und es gab frische Handtücher.
Der Besitzer bitte bei Anreise darum, dass man mit seinen Dingen respektvoll umgeht. Das sollte selbstverständlich sein und nicht einer Extra Bitte bedürfen!
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

Es ist gut, wenn man sich die Lage des Hauses auf Google Maps - am Besten mit Street View - ansieht, da es keine Adresse, sondern nur Koordinaten zum Finden des Hauses gibt. Dann kann man nämlich das Einfahrtstor leicht erkennen. Wir sind nie ganz sicher gewesen, aber der Ort in dem sich das Haus befindet dürfte "Kampani" heißen.
Ein sehr netter Hausbesitzer empfängt die Gäste mit seiner Assistentin und man merkt, er ist sehr stolz auf das schöne Haus und den liebevoll gestalteten Garten rundherum. Das sollte man auch als Gast respektieren und nicht mutwillig etwas kaputt machen, das würde ihn sehr schmerzen. Als nächsten Nachbarn (ca. 200 m entfernt) hat man ein Event-Haus (http://www.ktimareveli.gr/index.php/en/) in dem gut hörbar ca. 1 x in der Woche bis tief in die Nacht gefeiert wird (Hochzeiten) - stört im Urlaub aber normalerweise eh nicht. Am - auch gut zu Fuß - erreichbaren Strand gibt es eine Taverne, die auf den ersten Blick zwar nicht so toll aussieht, aber mit bester Speisenqualität und eindrucksvoll gut englisch sprechendem Personal und natürlicher Freundlichkeit uns so überzeugt hat, dass sie zu unserem Stammlokal wurde. Der nahegelegene Strand Kalathas ist wunderschön und trotz Hochsaison ist genügend Platz um sich auszubreiten. Wenn ich ein Flieger-Freak wäre hätte ich auch 5-Sterne vergeben, da sich das aber in Grenzen hält, haben die Flugzeuge - auch immer wieder F16 Flugstaffeln - nicht unbedingt meine Erholung gefördert. Da der Flughafen Chania aber nicht sehr frequentiert ist schmälert das die Erholung kaum. Wer gut zu Fuß ist sollte zum nahegelegenen Kloster Gouverneto fahren und dann den Weg zur Bärenhöhle und weiter zum Kloster Katholiko zur imposanten Brücke gehen. Belohnt wird der Weg zum Meer (eher für sportliche) mit einer wunderschönen Bucht, die mit glasklarem Wasser zum Baden einlädt.
Das Haus liegt als Ausgangspunkt für viele Ausflugsziele optimal und das gemütliche Frühstück am Pool war immer die perfekte Stärkung zum Tagesanfang für längere Ausflüge in die Umgebung. Auf eines aber sollte man gefasst sein, dass es auch schöne Windböen gibt, die aber in Anbetracht der hohen Temperaturen nicht unangenehm sind - Servietten oder andere windanfällige Sachen sollten allerdings gesichert werden. Wir, eine Freundesgruppe, hatten auch zwei Kinder mit, für die der Pool natürlich die perfekte Freizeitgestaltung war. Auch Tischtennistisch haben wir gerne gespielt. Unseren Urlaub haben wir hier sehr genossen!

Onerio villa also known as villa onar in kalathas was suited in the perfect place for us as group of young people who wanted to relax and have fun, we were surround by lots of activities, we took the liberty of doing ' go karting' only 30 mins away by taxi. The beaches were close by , we spent the day there and loved it, the beach had wifi and lots of water sports like jetskiing and parasailing available. But nothing beats the atmosphere the villa itself provided, the view was georgous, we could see a panoramic view from the roof top and each room had a view and terrace. The large garden provided the perfect location for our game of hide and seek, lots of lovely flowers and 3 swings were discovered, we also found it was brilliant for photography of nature. The pool was lovely and clean and it has lots of seating, lots of sun bathing took place and it has a barbeque area stocked with utensils. When we arrived we found the villa was bigger than we expected, the owners was very friendly the villa was stocked with everything you could need from towels to soap and even take out menus. We recieved a gift from the owner, as well as complementary wine and friuts, the fridge was prestocked with water, orange juice, milk, cheese and ham. There were other foods like bread, butter, jam and items to make tea and coffee available too all complementary, we hardly bought food items from the shop. He gave us advise on the area and a taxi number to use as we didin't want drive. We had a brilliant time, we even had 'in house massages', so relaxing. It was the perfect location for a holiday that provided an exquisite combination of relaxation and fun , we will definatly return and recommend this villa, for families, large groups and any one with Good taste.

· The house is just great. It is equiped with everything one might need. The kitchen ,the bathrooms,rooms ,etc all were new and super clean.Really nothing you would need more from a house. Popi and Dimitris the owners, were very friendly and helpful.They were very attentive to us in case smth was needed.They even baked a cake for us. Gave us a lot of sugestions for beaches and restaurants. Really appreciated the warm welcome. Kids really liked it and didnt want to go home.They liked expecially the garden outside were they played in the afternoons. I would recomend this house to all my friends as its perfect for vacations in Chania being it a family or group of frends.Great loacation as well ,very easy to find and to move in all directions. Perfect parking place for the car inside the villa.

Germany 10 Reviewed: 15 June 2018· I've been in many places over the years, yet nothing prepared me for a place so awesome such as this. The house is amazing, luxurious, brand new and equipped with more things that you would possibly need while staying there. Kitchen had absolutely everything for even the most complex cooking adventures (even recipes were provided!) The garden is beautiful, well kept and has a great view to the east with both the sea and the mountains visible. We stayed there with 6 adults, 1 child and 1 dog and everybody was equally amazed at the quality of everything. I kept hearing compliments about "the awesome place you found" during our stay. Especially since it's large and had several rooms/balconies, we were able to stay there without losing our personal space. Finally, the owners of the place Dimitris and Popi are the nicest people I've met and we all felt like we weren't paying guests but their family staying over. They were not only super friendly and helpful at all times but they kept giving us tips and ideas about things to do. I wish I could have stayed there the whole summer and will totally visit again! Many thanks guys!
