About this villa rental
Perfectly formed for two and positively oozing tranquillity Maros Spitaki sits in a veritable Garden of Eden screened by high hedges from the only neighbouring house.
Beyond the house, a flower bordered path, some 80 m in length makes its way between avocados, kiwi fruit, pomegranates and kumquats as well as orange and lemon trees. Stone tables and benches are located in shady spots around the garden and there's even a couple of swings for the young at heart.
Apart from fruit trees, Yiannis, the owner keeps chickens in an outhouse in the garden and there are also some itinerant ducks who wander off into the orange groves during the day and return at night to boast to the chickens of their exploits.
Please bear in mind that Yiannis will call in every few days to tend to his livestock, but if you like going native and prefer the world of nature to human kind, Maro's little house is definitely an experience too good to miss.
Location
No more than 15 minutes by car from bustling Chania harbour and a 5 to 10 minute drive across country to the sandy beach at Kalamaki, Varipetro, the local village, boasts no more than a bakery, a couple of small shops selling basic necessities and a little cafenion.

Our second visit (longer this time... 9 nights) was just as peaceful and relaxing as our first visit, and gave us a wonderful feeling of "coming home". Maros Spitaki is well-situated to explore the greater Chania area, with many great restaurants only a short drive away, both in the city, as well as the surrounding area.
For those travelers who appreciate a connection to nature, solitude and privacy, this is a fabulous choice. The resident (and visiting) animals are a bonus for us, as we love all creatures great-and small, while the beautiful flowers and fruit trees add to the beauty of the property.
The bed and bedding are comfortable, and the air conditioning works well. The kitchen and bathroom are well equipped, with everything needed to self-cater.
We are already planning 3rd visit to this little slice of heaven!

This is a place for nature lovers and for those looking for a high level of quiet and seclusion. The beautiful roses and bougainvillea, the orchards of fruit trees, the rooftop sunrise and sunset views, the amazing pool, the chickens and visiting cats all added to our sense of delight and contentment at Maros Spitaki. We spent our days playing backgammon at a shady table, or floating in the pool, or conversing with the chickens. The kitchen is well equipped, the house is clean and comfortable, the gardens are obviously tended with love.
This property is perfect for a couple who wants to connect and recharge, and escape from the hectic outside world. We only stayed 5 nights, but are already planning a longer return trip. There is plenty to do within a short drive (we loved the botanical garden, especially), although in truth, every time we left, we couldn't wait to return to our little oasis. Thank you to the owners for sharing this very special place. And thank you to Freelance Villas and the Crete team for your excellent communication and service.
Everything was perfect!
