We were looking for ea place to relax and at the same time to explore the isle of Crete and we ended up with Villa Maquis close to Vamos. It was end September and the sun was clearly not on leave yet. But the most impressive was the location. A new modern super equipped and perfectly maintained villa with 4 luxurious bedrooms on a quite spot with stunning open views both the mountains as the coast. Quiet but on driving distance of cozy villages, stores, nice restaurants and hikes. Impressive sunsets, infinity pool to have a swim while enjoying the garden and panoramas. Villa Maquis is owned by a Belgium couple and transactions went smoothly. In short everything was beyond expectations and it will probably not be our last stay at Villa Maquis!

We spent 3 weeks in this magical place. Everything was perfect! We will definitely be back! The contact with Rudi was also great!

Wow what a gorgeous villa in an amazing setting. From the main bedroom you felt you could reach out and touch the magnificent white mountains with uninterrupted views. The view to the sea at souda bay is equally stunning. The villa itself is beautifully designed and the quality is superb as is the furnishings. The outdoor kitchen and dining area overlooking the infinity pool is the perfect place for a sundowner. The nearby villages with authentic tavernas will tempt you to out as will the whole area which is amazing but you’ll soon want to get back to the villa and pool. We cannot recommend villa marquis enough. Already looking at dates for next year. Thank you

The villa has the nicest view over the mountains and sea that I have ever seen. The peacefulness and calmness is unseen. It is completely isolated from the busy crowds but still very close to the restaurants, bars, beaches,…

The villa itself is nicely decorated and has everything you need during your stay. It is beautifully detailed. The paintings were made by the owner and fit really well in its interior.

The fact that there is an elevator is such a nice extra.

I absolutely loved the infinity pool. While swimming you have another wonderful sight over the bay.

An additional great feature are the different areas to relax. The amount of patios is so lovely to come to rest with a cup of coffee. From every single spot you have another magnificent view.

We had a very nice contact with the owners by mail and they were very helpful with the questions we had.

I really enjoyed our stay at Villa Maquis and will for sure come back soon!

It was an extra ordinary experience to be able to stay 10 days in this luxury stay on Crete. The views are simply breathtaking, I enjoyed mostly the different sitting corners from where the views are always different. The villa offers everything and even more than I expected. A real “gem” in paradise. I hope to be able to return many times more in the future..

Best view of sea and mountains close to Chania airport.

Villa on a location I wish I had build myself.

Secluded with nature surrounding you and yet close to the sea and charming villages.

Brand new immaculate modern villa with every comfort you can wish for. Loved that it had well equipped fitness room. Very spacious with privacy for each room with its own terrace.

Had a fantastic vacation in Villa Maquis

Crete is an amazing island and Villa Limani made our visit an unforgettable one. The breathtaking views ( sunsets)of Souda Bay and the white mountains made this Villa a place to be remembered. We have stayed in many villas before but V. Limani was outstanding it has all the amenities to make your visit a breeze. Rudy was a great host ( loved the welcome basket with key Cretan supplies), very attentive and helpful the few times we contacted him. Great location close to many beaches and sites, a car is a most preferably a 4*4 vehicle given that the access road to the Villa (~ 200mts) is rustic which also gives the Villa its privacy and remote feeling. The pool is a good size and the garden beautiful! I highly recommend Villa Limani for your next summer getaway!

We have hired villas in Crete for 15 years and Limani is by far the best villa we have stayed in. Fabulous location with views over countryside to Souda Bay and the White mountains. To say it is fully equipped is an understatement, full air conditioning, a pool you can actually swim in and the most helpful owners who are very willing to share their knowledge and love of Crete with you. Just perfect.

Even before the trip began, we had a very nice contact with the owner. He always gave us great tips. The villa itself is situated on a mountain with sensational views of the sea and the mountains. (Nico.K  July 2019)

Renting this property was a pleasure. Clear communication with Rudi and the villa match our exceptions. We had a great stay during our two weeks!, Johan.B (Sweden-July 2019)

We spent 10 magical days at Villa Limani soaking up the sun and enjoying the amazing views of the sea and surrounding mountains - such a treat to wake up to in the morning. The villa is finished to a very high standard and is exactly what you see in the photos and more! The layout was perfect for us as we were a group of 5 - one couple had their own room and ensuite downstairs and upstairs the rooms have a sliding door which allowed us to connect the two rooms so our son didnt fret at night. It was wonderful to hangout by the pool all day, the watch the sunset whilst waiting for our BBQ dinner to be cooked. 

The little village nearby was charming and very welcoming. We had dinner at a nearby restaurant (Parasia) which served excellent Cretan food and honey raki! Beaches at Almyrida and Kalyves are only a 15-20mins drive away. A car is a must as the villa is located down a rustic country road (the only downside). But the peaceful and private location of the villa more than made up for this. 

Rudi and Nancy are the perfect hosts. They provided us with a welcome hamper and their communication was excellent throughout our stay. I would highly recommend a stay at the Villa Limani and hope to return again soon.
