Simply my best stay ever.Diana was not simply a super super host but an amazing being. The property is close to the airport, old city Chania, restaurants and more. Accessing the main highways was very easy. The pool wow.And last but not least was the hidden gem outside the kitchen that was our all day sitting area, away from the sun but with a nice breeze.Honestly we did not want to leave and definitely the villa will be our home away from home when we return to Chania.The views are spectacular, the comfort is like home, the kitchen well stacked. An addition that did not appear in the pictures is a new railing for the stairs to the bedrooms.Before booking, one review that impressed me was that the pictures don’t make it justice. Well I second the motion. Thank you again Diana and regards to all.

This property is really beautiful and larger than it appears in the photos. The house is comfortable, stylish, well-located for trips to Chania and great beaches, and extremely well-equipped. The view is amazing! Diana, the owner, is very helpful. There was an unusual dust storm right before we arrived and Diana and her team went to great lengths to make sure everything was cleaned up (even the leaves on the plants!)

Wonderful Villa Near Chania

We loved our stay at Villa Mariposa. The villa is just on the outskirts of Chania and is everything it is advertised to be in the listing. We were far enough from town to relax by the pool and enjoy the view but still close enough to go in fto explore or have or dinner almost every night. Communication with the owners was easy and the villa has everything anyone would need if you want to stay in and cook too. There were several beaches nearby that we visited regularly and we took several day trips to other parts of western Crete. All in all could not have asked for anything more. Hope to come back for a longer visit next time.

Chania vacation

The property was fantastic. We spent almost as much time at the pool with a view than the great beaches. Diana, the owner, was more than helpful with anything we needed. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Chania. Driving in Chania was tough but parking in Chania is even more challenging if you are driving a small van. We really like Stavros, Parili Kalatha and Paltanis beach were great. We really enjoyed KouKouVaya for deserts.

The property is wonderful and the hosts are exceptional. The basket of fruit, fresh-baked bread and property-harvested olive oil were a wonderful touch. I wish the pool was heated. The views are outstanding, the beds quite comfortable, and the kitchen well-stocked with equipment. Would definitely recommend to a large family or two.

Lovely house overlooking the sea

The house was perhaps the best part of our trip to Crete. It’s is in a great spot overlooking the bay. Quiet (apart from the cicadas) and comfortable. And close to everything you’ll need for a great family vacation There are a few things worth noting. Whilst very close to Chania the house is quite rural and this means there’s a lot of winged nature about. The cicadas can be deafening and territorial. This wasn’t an issue for us but if you’re afraid of bugs, take note! There’s an owners apartment under the house and you share a driveway. Again this wasn’t an issue for us. Diana’s parents keep to themselves but we’re also very helpful - her dad even brought us some tomatoes. They have a friendly dog, but neither imposed on us at any time

What an amazing week!

We had a fantastic week at Villa Mariposa! The house is beautifully appointed, clean and comfortable. The villa is 5km outside of downtown Chania. A perfect location for us! The villa is just out of town on a hill with an amazing view and lovely breeze. We spent our mornings having coffee on the comfy outdoor couch enjoying the spectacular view. And our evenings after a swim and dinner, on that couch with drinks - gorgeous! Don’t miss Diana’s many wonderful recommendations. Diana and her mother were terrific hosts! Diana was available to answer questions and provide recommendations. Her mother met us at the villa for a tour and left us with a stunning lemon brush cake and homemade orange jam from their garden. For Father’s Day, Diana arranged a caterer to cook an authentic Creatan meal - it was fantastic! What a treat! Don’t miss Mitsos for BBQ and Carte Postale for a lovely drink at sunset. And the beaches along the “peninsula”. The beach/cove at Zorba’s is a bit touristy, but there is beach restaurant service. Go during the week for a quieter experience. My husband and son loved swimming there. And my son’s hike to the cave was a highlight. Don’t miss the Chania Archeological Museum and Old Town Chania. I hope to return to Chania. If so, we would love to stay at Villa Mariposa! What an amazing week! Thank you Diana!

Fantastic Villa with a view

Villa Mariposa provided everything we were looking for. Luxurious and immaculately clean villa, beautifully tended gardens, a pool big enough to swim in and the most amazing views from its hilltop position. Shops and bakery/cafe 10 minutes down the hill and Chania a short drive away. We hired a car via Stratos and Diana from the lovely Eirini at "Drive-it" and found the island easy to explore. Highly recommended and hope to come back.

Beautiful villa and views with very comfortable beds!

We spent a week here July/Aug as a family of 5 (kids 6, 8 and 9). The villa was perfect - easy location for getting into Chania and to a few local beaches. My biggest fear when renting homes is that the beds will be too small and not comfortable (I’m very picky!) but the beds were great! My only request if I stayed again would be more pool towels as one each is a bit hard to manage. Thank you for a perfect holiday!

Stunning property! Wonderful hospitality!

We have just returned from an amazing trip to Crete. Thanks to Diana & Stratos! The villa is even better in person than the pictures portray. Diana’s mother spoiled us from the first day we arrived with cakes, and traditional Greek dishes. We wish we could have brought her home with us. The views from the villa will take your breath away. If there is anything you have questions about, Diana was there to answer. She helped arrange a trip to the Samaria Gorge (challenging but worth it). The last day we were leaving for the airport early in the morning, Diana made a point to wish us farewell. When we arrived at the airport she had called to let me know that one of my sons had forgot his retainer in his bedroom. I had already returned the rental car, so I asked her to mail it, if she wouldn’t mind. She instead drove to the airport to return it to us. If you want a little piece of Greek perfection, then stay here and you will have it!!! Ken P Canada

Incredible house and hosts

From the moment we drove up the driveway to this incredible villa, we were in love. Everything about our stay was perfect. Even prior to our arrival, Diana was so helpful with answering questions such as whether to rent a car (we did), where to charter a boat (Creta Luxury Cruises was top-notch), and coordinating a chef to cook for us. She greeted us in the driveway, and proceeded to give us a tour of this magnificent home. The pictures are amazing, and there was no disappointment. She made us a delicious cake, presented us with homemade olive oil (from their trees on the property), homemade orange marmalade, honey, cookies and stocked the refrigerator and cabinets with eggs, cheese, meat, milk, juice, cereal, bread and fruit. It was unexpected and so perfect, as we didn't have to think about breakfast the next morning. The home is impeccable, and the maid, Sophie, came every other day, which was perfect. We were treated as if we were staying at a 5 star resort. Everything was so professionally presented, from the embroidered linens and towels to the guidebook of recommendations for things to do. The view is breathtaking, the outside is peaceful, and the gardens are so meticulously cared for. The house and patios are adorned with fresh flowers and plants. The kitchen has everything you need and the house was a perfect size for our two families. The location is ideal. It was a short 7-8 minute drive into the center of Chania. We loved everything about the city, and the island. There are 2 markets about a 1 minute drive from the villa, where you can find all of the necessities. Having Villa Mariposa as our home for the week was perfect. Diana is the sweetest person and was always so responsive, professional and helpful during our stay. We would highly recommend this property for so many reasons.

Stunning Villa and Views

We have just returned from Villa Mariposa and i can not recommend this villa enough. It was amazing waking up to the most beautiful views and watching the sunset go down every night. As soon as we arrived and were greeted by Diana and her mum who were lovely, there was a home made cake waiting and lots of goodies to last us until we could do a big shop. Mum was such a sweet lady who made us cakes and goodies which were delicious. Diana was always on hand to help with anything we were struggling with, even ordering us some food one night as the take away didn't speak very good English. There is a small shop at the bottom of the road for your essentials and a lovely little bakery which we often visited. I do have to mention Sophie the housekeeper who was fantastic providing us with fresh flowers,she even put my washing out one day for me while we were out. I have never seen a villa so clean after she had cleaned it. Not that it stayed clean for long not with my grown up children. I would recommend a car but the taxis to Chania are quite reasonable 10euros each way. The pictures really don't do the villa justice as it was the most amazing villa that we have ever stayed at and we have stayed at a few in the past few years. Big Thank you and lots of love to Diana, Stratos, mum and Sophie.
