Idyllic, luxury villa in a magic location

We had seen the photos online but our experience of the villa was better than what is advertised. The view the villa provides of the sea is just priceless. You can sit by the main house in an elevated terrace and dine looking at the view or sit on the cliff edge in a sheltered jetty overlooking the water. The infinity pool also gives you views of the sea. The host was incredible - so kind and endlessly attentive and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. The big unexpected surprise for us was how great the area was. We had a <1 year old baby with us and so having a beach and a restaurant only a 5 minute walk away was invaluable.

Spectacular Villa

My friends and I came here to celebrate a special birthday. We had a lovely time. The villa had spectacular views of the sea. There were so many places to sit together or enjoy on your own. The host was very helpful and made us feel very welcome.

Perfect place with perfect service

I don’t know where to start: Service, location, view, architecture, cleanness, equipment, garden, … there is only one word suitable to describe this place and this word is “perfection”. The villa is located in a quiet corner of the Chania Region overviewing Souda Bay and the open sea with a small island just in front of it. The view is as spectacular as the architecture and the garden around the house. There is an elevated walkway high over the garden to a seating area and the heated pool. The villa is equipped with every household item you can imagine and the lady who does the housekeeping keeps it perfectly clean. She even cooked for us some delicious local dishes … they were so great that you won’t get something similar even at any 5star-restaurant ! Alex the owner and his father George were extremely helpful and cared for our wellbeing. My girlfriend and I have visited many nice places before, but we never found a location as great as this one and it will be hard to top this experience. This property is one of the best in the world.

Stunning villa and excellent host

We have just returned from a once in a lifetime family holiday at this beautiful villa. Everything was perfect from the peaceful location and stunning architecture to the friendly and welcoming cleaner who surprised us with delicious Cretan treats. We would recommend this villa to anyone and will definitely be back again. A special thanks also to Alex who was attentive and provided us with everything we needed.It was definitely a holiday we will never forget.

Best Paradise villa, best place in the World!

I have traveled a lot across Europe, Russia, USA, Brazil and the Carribean, but have never seen any place like this one before. I stayed at this villa in June 2018 for 10 nights with my family including a 12 month-old baby. This was the best experience we have ever had! The views are just stunning, with ships and boats passing by! We wanted to spend time on the beautiful bridge overlooking the bay all the mornings (woke up at 6 am to meet the Sun and enjoy the sunrise), days by the pool with the seagulls and evenings with a glass of Rose or white wine looking at the stars and listening to the winds and the sea. Thank you so much for the most attentive owner Alex who helped us right from the moment of booking going far and beyond with our tourist visa issues and Greek consulate work and then calling several times with great recommendations of the seafood, restaurants, sights and best beaches on the island, and his father George who came to check us several times to make sure we were doing well! The villa is very modern and equipped with literally EVERYTHING you can dream of - a perfect kitchen with all tools you can imagine including an ice-cream scoop, grill area in the garden, foosball, table tennis, baby highchair, baby swing, toddler swing, baby bed, the sharp corners of a massive coffee table in the dining area are safely protected with baby-hands-shaped rubber сaps, and there are protective gates on all the stairs so it it very safe with the baby! There is a fully equipped laundry-room, great bathrooms with marble and wood, the floors are amazing and everything is highly automated and clean as a cleaning lady comes DAILY and changes towels and refills everything including soaps and bread and olive oil and cooks delicious spinach, cheese and sweet pies!!! We were shocked by how cool everything was. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your best villa in the world, we really appreciate, we would definitely recommend family groups and friends groups with romantic couples to stay at this designer's modern magnificent and at the same time very romantic villa!

A fantastic property!

We spent a week at this beautiful villa, relaxing and chilling in the perfect location. A lot of time was spent by the pool and at the end of the pontoon. We enjoyed our walks to the small beach where the sea was clear and calm. The housekeeper was so friendly and helpful, she brought us fresh bread and made us Crete delicacies which was a lovely touch. Alex was on hand if we needed any guidance as was his Dad, George. We managed without a car for a week, but if there for longer a car would be needed to further explore the island. We did enjoy a boat trip which we booked with Nikos in Marathi Beach and we went to a fabulous lagoon. The fish taverna in Marathi was a big hit with all of us and we had 3/4 lovely evenings there. Highly recommend this as a great space to relax and spend time with family and friends. Karen Cardwell

The most stunning property we have enjoyed.

The first impression is one of elegance, luxury & stunning archetecture. It's simple beautiful. The design is interesting from every angle and every floor. And as a result we never ever got tired of the view from either the top balcony, the walk way, the pool or the terrace. The owners also should be given a 5 star service level, couldn't do enough for us. Incredibly nice, friendly people. We will be back in 2018 thanks Richard Giltinan

a dreamy vacation

We fell in love with the villa prior to arrival, from the pictures in the internet, but we didn't know what to expect until we arrived. Our first encounter with the location and view was breathtaking. The owners were most cordial and attentive, the service was impeccable, the place itself, the pool overlooking the sea, the garden, the beach next to the villa, everything was absolutely perfect. We will most definitely return next year!

Amazing villa, fantastic holiday and wonderful service.

All the reviews here are spot on, Alex went out of his way to make us feel welcome and looked after everything. The villa is stunning, the area so close to great beaches - we loved Marathi but also Seitan even with the slightly treacherous walk it's well worth it. Small touches like surprise food and cakes brought to the villa made it really special. We loved the pool and different areas to relax and socialise. A perfect holiday in a perfect location.

Gorgeous Views, Gorgeous Villa , Gorgeous People

Just returned from a wonderfully relaxing holiday at Olea Prime Villa ! The photos do not do the villa justice - the villa itself is modern and beautifully designed.The pool large and we particularly loved the covered lounging area at the end of the pontoon. It was welcome shelter from the sun, with fabulous sea views and a lovely cooling sea breeze. George and Alex could not have been more attentive and helpful both before and after our arrival and the villa was cleaned everyday - Service they provided was as good as any 5* hotel. Can't think of anything negative to say - other than go , relax and enjoy! PS: There's a lovely Taverna 5 mins walk from the house and 5 minutes in the car is Marathi with a handful of restaurants. Service and food was better at local Taverna if you don't fancy cooking

The holiday of a lifetime

We invited friends and family to join us for a two weeks holiday and everyone had the most amazing time. The villa is just beautiful and set on a unique cliff side position with a 180 degree view over the sea. Wonderfully clean and peaceful beaches within walking distance, a great taverna beach side, attentive and discreet staff, delightful garden with rock garden and herb garden sides, an infinity pool worthy of a movie set... It was the holiday of a lifetime and a very difficult place to leave...

Stunning Views & Amazing Service!

The stunning views and incredible hospitality extended by Alex & his family made staying at Oleo Prime our favorite part of our trip to Greece. We've stayed at many vacation rental properties before, but never have we experienced such wonderful attention & service. The moment we walked down the walkway and through the impressive door (yes, even the front door is noteworthy!), we were enveloped with the gorgeous views and knew this was a special place. The various decks were so inviting that we wanted to stay outside. But inside was lovely & comfortable and was stocked with everything you could possibly need. The gifts of food (delicious homemade dessert, farm fresh eggs etc...) were welcomed gestures, along with the daily cleaning by the loveliest lady. Alex & his father managed a fine balance of being available on a daily basis for advice or help of any kind, yet were not at all intrusive. When they found out we wanted to go to Elafonisi Beach, Alex called ahead to get the weather & wind advisory so he could recommend the best day to go. He helped arrange bike rentals, an enjoyable olive oil factory tour, as well as a memorable & delicious chef-prepared meal at the villa, which we thoroughly enjoyed (after a long day at the beach), while looking over the sparkling waters. The drive into Chania is easy & the waterfront shops & restaurants are fun to peruse. Alex recommended eating at Pallas, which was absolutely delicious & our best meal out. Although the gyro place at the top of the hill from the villa offered affordable & quite yummy gyros and such. There is a great grocery/liquor store just 10 minutes away, along w numerous mini markets w fresh produce & coffee. Our kids-18, 22, & 26 consumed multiple Café Frappes from the local shops, as well as home-brewed, generously supplied by the Villa. Our favorite market was Megith(sp?) w the green striped awning on the way Chania. We also enjoyed some nice lunches at the new restaurant @ the resort just down the street from the Villa. So new, we had to read the menu from the waiter’s cell phone as the menus hadn’t yet arrived.! But both the food & service were very good. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Crete – mostly due to this extraordinary villa and phenomenal hospitality. Many thanks to the Koletsos family!

Heaven on earth

We stayed in Olea prime for a week and it was a truly enjoyable experience. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay at this beautifully decorated villa. Gorgeous and luxurious, it made our family vacation extra-special. The villa is nice and extremely comfortable, with swimming pool, and large rooms. The view of the sea is phenomenal. The villa, with many windows, was very bright, absolutely Stunning and luxurious, very clean and tidy and spacious too. We all fell in love with it the minute we stepped through the door. Giorgos met us promptly at the villa on our arrival from the airport, and did a thorough review of its features; he was also quickly available for advice throughout our stay. He and Alex his son are extremely communicative and followed up promptly to every inquiry. They went out of their way to accommodate us and to make us feel comfortable. Alex arranged for us the car rentals and a chef that came one evening and cooked for us a delicious dinner, and gave us recommendations for great taverns in the area and in Chania. One morning Giorgos came with a fresh sweet pie that his wife made especially for us. Inside the villa we had all the conveniences we need: great kitchen, tv/wifi, comfortable sleeping, big bathrooms and closets. We liked to spend the mornings and the evenings on the balcony with the view, and it was simply magnificent and just like paradise. We would defiantly choose to go back here.!

The views are absolutely unreal. The house doesn’t look super child friendly at first glance but really is once you are settled. Walk to a taverna, walk to a beach, five minute drive to an amazing family beach. Good AC for the bedrooms at night and wonderful breezes through the house during the day. Couldn’t be more happy about our stay. We had Stefanos provide a few meals that were outstanding and the daily cleaning service made our stay relaxing and convenient.

Wonderful stay in paradise

Alex runs a tight ship and has a beautiful property. We are already discussing when we can come back. With three toddlers, the house was incredibly child-proofed with gates on all stairwells and air conditioning in all bedrooms. We could let the kids play in the house or outside with little concern. We hired a private chef Stefanos and his wife Katarina, who made us the most incredible food in Alex's house. The views, the food, the house, the beach was within 3 minutes walking with beautiful sand and crystal clear blue water. Everything was simply perfect. This is one of the best vacation rentals, if not the best, that I have ever stayed at.

So eine Traumvilla noch nie gehabt

Waren Anfang Oktober 2020 mit 2 Familien dort. Traumhafte Lage, atemberaubender Panoramablick aufs Meer und die Bucht. Uns hat die Villa als einmaliges architektonisches Highlight mit vielen interessanten, liebevollen und praktischen Details total begeistert. So haben wir noch nie gewohnt! Von der Villa führt eine Brücke zu einem sonnengeschützten Panoramadeck direkt über den Klippen und einem swimmingpool mit direktem Blick aufs Meer. Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten sich zu treffen, aber auch Rückzugsmöglichkeiten. Alles in allem eine absolute Wohlfühlatmosphäre. Die Villa ist technisch auf dem neusten Stand und mit allem ausgestattet, Alles ist absolut sauber, top gepflegt und gewartet. George hat uns persönlich empfangen und alles erklärt, stand auch immer für Fragen und Hilfe zur Verfügung. Vielen Dank für diese wunderschöne Zeit , wir kommen wieder!

About the host

Hosted by Alex

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Alex. My family and I own three stunning villas that have received over the years more than 150 five-star online reviews by visitors worldwide: The Olea Villas and the Olea Prime. We acknowledge how important your holiday is and thus our first priority is to provide only the best possible experience to our guests. We will be more than happy to host you in our villas and to show you the unique "Olea experience". Thank you.

Why they chose this property

Architecture:
--------------------
Olea Villas are designed by one of the most famous architects in Crete using local materials of wood, stone and glass combined with traditional yet modern craftsmanship. They are an architectural delight featuring airy rooms with large windows bringing nature to you. The pastel interiors mix simple elegance and beautiful design with comfort and luxury.

Unique Location:
---------------------------
Loutraki is a small cove on the southern tip of the Akrotiri peninsula in Chania. It gives you the feeling that you are so far away from the city but at the same time so close to it. Protected from strong winds, it’s a quaint sandy beach great for everyone. Apart from Loutraki beach, there are a few to visit in Marathi Bay. It is the perfect location for your relaxing, peaceful, getaway vacation.

By The Beach:
----------------------
Within walking distance from Olea Villas a sandy beach with crystal clear turqoise waters awaits you. Enjoy your swim or have a Greek salad at the seaside restaurant or if you feel adventurous, explore the cove with SUP. Furthermore, Marathi Bay is located only 1.8km from Olea, with the option of three amazing beaches for you to explore or to discover the local gastronomy at the beachside tavernas.
