Beautiful villa with breath taking views

This villa was incredible. It had everything we needed and more. The view from the back of the villa and garden was to die for. We spent every night watching the sun go down before heading into Chania. Marryellen the host was lovely and so very helpful with anything we needed. She even organised a personal driver for us who was reasonably prised and very reliable. We will definitely be back , so much to do and see in Chania.

Perfect

We loved every minute of our stay at Kyanon Apartment. Maryellen is an excellent host and the apartment and surrounding gardens and pool area are even more beautiful than in the photos. The apartment is on the ground floor but there is no noise whatsoever from the floors above, excellent soundproof construction! The views from the pool area and big windows in the main bedroom and living room are spectacular. Maryellen provides so many lovely touches; fresh flowers from the beautiful garden, lovely bathrobes and toiletries, a kitchen and utility room stocked with everything you need from dishwasher tablets to insect repellant to olive oil etc, and a full list of recommended outings, beaches and restaurants. We enjoyed the apartment and pool so much that we didn't get to see as much of Crete as we planned! The old town of Chania is about 10 minutes away by car and is perfect to wander around at night. We booked a taxi by phone to take us there most evenings, sometimes there was a wait but it wasn't a problem. We are already planning our next visit as we only scratched the surface of this fabulous island, and I doubt there is a nicer place to stay than here. Thanks again to Maryellen and family, see you next year! G, M and the girls

Words can't describe how great this place is!

Our family spent 11 days at this amazing property. First of all, MaryEllen is a superb host, from the moment I booked, to the day we left we felt that nothing was too much trouble for her. Any questions we had were answered almost immediately, her advice on anything was outstanding and she checked in regularly with us to ensure everything was going well. The apartment I can't describe its that amazing. Beautifully furnished, Fully stocked kitchen, huge comfy beds, soft linens, plenty of towels and if there was something that we'd forgotten and thought, I wonder if there's one here? There always was! MaryEllen bought us some goods to get us started, lots of fresh fruit and vegetables from the amazing gardens, her favourite wine and the kitchen was stocked with basic staples. The views are to die for, we lazed by the pool for several days just swimming and then watching the sun go down over Chania harbour. Unforgettable. Nice quiet location, safe and secure with keyfob access. Chania is 10 minutes away in a Taxi, local amenities and supermarkets within a 5 minute drive. If you want faultless accommodation, with an amazing host then look no further than this.

Amazing holiday and accomodation

Kyanon House is an amazing property; spacious, exceptionally clean and well presented and equipped with everything you could need. The property is well located with easy access to beautiful beaches, the mountains, Chania town, places to eat and supermarkets. The views from Kyanon House are wonderful and it is a great place to just relax as well as being a great central base. Maryellen the owner is amazing, so kind and helpful and she really helped make our stay so special and easy.

As frequent travelers, we’ve stayed in many VRBO rentals across the world and I must say Maryellen’s poolside rental is now in my top 10 favorite rentals!! She communicated well and her place was like staying in a posh Hollywood Hills beach house! We would definitely rent this cool pad again!!

Breathtaking and Unforgettable

Upon arrival, you can’t stop staring at the magnificent view of Chania from your patio. We were staring at the pool and the view, and we were so amazed that we were staying here for the next 7 nights! Spacious rooms with beautiful touches, comfortable bed, fluffy towels, and the best part was Mary Ellen and her advice for he area, and yummy treats we received from her family and the garden. Such a treat! Instead of driving into Chania for nightly dinner, Mary Ellen arranged a driver for us so we would not have to deal with the crazy parking situation. We also drove to a nearby barbecue restaurant for dinner a couple of times since the food was spectacular. With our Rent-A-Car we visited Falassarna gorgeous beach, Aptera ruins, Astrikas Estate Biolea-Olive oil estate with gorgeous views & food, Agia Triada Monastery & hiked down Avlaki Gorge. We loved the food, energy, sights in Chania. We had a spectacular stay!

Even better in person!

I cannot say enough positive things about this place. Crete is so incredibly charming and this home with its spectacular views and open layout was even better than we expected based on the pictures and reviews. It’s huge, so spacious compared to so many European accommodations. It is also so well appointed, Maryellen has literally thought of everything. And on top of that she is a gracious hostess, she made recommendations for meals and activities for us on both our days in Crete. We only wished we had planned to stay longer. We can’t wait to go back one day!

Most amazing lodging and host!

This lodging was just perfect and Mary Ellen was the best host ever! We arrived around midnight after a lengthy delay on the ferry from Santorini to find a bottle of red wine, home baked pastries and excellent check-in instructions. Mary Ellen stopped by the next morning to greet us with fresh baked pastries from her favorite bakery and lots of helpful information about Crete. We can’t say enough about our stay there and highly recommend this lodging!

5 stars is not enough!

Stepping out of the car to get our first glimpse of the property was like looking at the listing pictures but better! This villa is absolutely beautiful! It is perfectly situated on the property to take advantage of the natural terraced landscape and incredible views of the water below. The inside of the house is spotless and meticulously maintained and immediately puts you at ease knowing you will be comfortable during your stay. We were two couples traveling together and the accommodations were spacious enough for us to enjoy time together and have our separate spaces as well. Your host, Maryellen, is wonderful, welcoming and was immediately responsive to any of our questions about recommendations for our stay. There is so much to do on Crete, and the guest binder provided by the host was full of helpful information. Every restaurant she recommended was fantastic. Even though you may spend most of your time exploring the island like we did, don't miss the chance to book an outdoor massage at the house. It was a great experience early in our stay after all of the walking and climing around Athens. Thank you very much Maryellen for making our trip an incredible experience. We can't wait to come back!

Welcome to Oz

Those who have seen the old movie "The Wizard of Oz," surely remember the scene when the tornado plops Dorothy's black and white farm house on the ground and Dorothy opens the door. As she does so, she is greeted by the Technicolor land of Oz. That is kind of the way I felt when Maryellen, our host at Kyanon House, greeted us at the top of the garden staircase down to the apartment. The view of the blue Aegean Sea, the city of Chania, the infinity pool and the lush garden seemed Oz-like. Inside we found a well designed space that took total advantage of the view. It was beautifully and comfortably decorated. And Maryellen explained all to us and provided us with lists and descriptions of everything to do from hiking, to swimming, to tours and restaurants. Maryellen was quickly responsive whenever we had questions, needed help or wanted reservations. This was simply one of the best, if not the best, VRBOs we have stayed in. Maryellen even provided us with fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs and local beverages!

Heerlijk vakantiehuis met geweldig uitzicht.

Heerlijke week gehad in dit huis. Keurig net huis met mooi zwembad, van alle gemakken voorzien. Zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame host, deze gastvrijheid heb ik nog nergens meegemaakt. We zaten er in een week met zeer hoge temperaturen, 35 tot 40 graden plus, dus zijn niet veel op pad geweest. Gelukkig hadden we een heerlijk zwembad met fantastisch uitzicht en genoeg schaduw tot halverwege de middag. De ligging is prima, vlakbij een Lidl supermarkt en 15 minuten rijden van Chania Old Town, waar genoeg te doen is om.de avond door te brengen. Al met al een relaxte vakantie gehad!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Maryellen and i will be your primary host during your stay. I was born in the United States but am currently living and working in Chania.
Kyanon House and apartment is my family home.
The house was designed with lots of love by my parents to embrace the views of the Cretan sea and the beauty of the surrounding forest.
My family has always loved to entertain and host guests, so it seemed very natural to start to share Kyanon apartment as a vacation rental and assist others in enjoying their vacation in a peaceful, luxurious setting.
