This is an amazing property. It is beautifully located across the street from a quiet Maleme beach and has a lovely swimming pool. The modern style of the house appealed very much to us and it comfortably accommodated our family of 4 adults and one child. Maleme is a charming combination of beach town and countryside. For example, our
favorite beach taverna, just down the street from the house, had goats grazing in a small field next door and the lot next to the house was a verdant cultivated field. The town is so much more charming then the neighboring town of Platanias, but very close to it for those who seek beach amusements for children. The city of Chania, a short drive away from Maleme, is exquisite. We loved going into Chania to visit its Old Town and harbor. Our landlady, Chara, is a nearby resident, whose hospitality was exquisite. She provided us with all that we needed, including baby furniture and accoutrements, a welcome basket, advice as to where to dine, etc. She is warm and forthcoming and we now consider her a friend.
The house and grounds were beautifully maintained. A housekeeper came twice to clean and change the linens in the ten days that we were there. A pool man and gardner also tended to the property during that period.
