OUR REVIEW 

With an emphasis on the use of "ecologically friendly" materials, these airy and bright villas provide a sense of space for enjoyment of sea views. Your villa and pool are of a minimalist design that leaves the horizon unfettered - this is Alma's Villas. Guests have almost unanimously praised Alma's, though some of the ecological materials used in the design do seem a little faded.


The modern style neighbouring eco-villas, present the setting for the enjoyment of bright light, blue skies, beautiful sunrises and amazing sunsets.

Majestic views out to sea, a landscape of Crete's coast and rocky hillsides, tinted with flowers, herbs and more. 10 minutes drive from Chania airport, 5 minutes drive from the small Agios Onoufrios beach and its local taverna, 15 minutes from a coffee sipped while gazing at Chania's Venetian waterfront. In fact, the closeness to Chania itself makes this a rare combination of the pleasures of the villa life, with the numerous restaurants, cafes, museums bars and shops of Venetian Chania.

Beaches at Stavros, Marathi and others are fabled and close by.

An organic garden has been  planted between the villas. You will be welcome to eat food prepared with these ingredients, learn about cuisine, natural tastes, health and the exceptionally rewarding, delicious and wholesome Cretan cuisine.

While each villa has its own freshwater pool (7x5m), a larger pool (10x8m) is available to all guests. A pool-side bar/cafe is stocked with soft drinks, ice-creams and some drinks - they are complimentary, for guests to enjoy.

Some exercise/work-out equipment is available for your use.

CreteTravel.com guest experiences of Alma's Villas    [Click here to SHOW/HIDE]
Patrick and I had a wonderful time at Alma's Villas in Crete. The only thing that could have been better is the length of our stay--we would like to return to Crete some day and stay much longer so to enjoy the entire island. We really, really fell in love with its quiet beauty. I owe many thanks and our gratitude to Alma and her family for creating such a lovely oasis at the top of that hill overlooking the sea. Just amazing.
Tara Knight
Almas villa was fantastic - beautifully situated, private, lovely pool - everything we needed to enjoy the area. Also the villa was exactly as we had expected from the website (although we hadn't appreciated how beautiful the sunset was going to be).
Jenny Spratt
We were really pleased with the service you provided and would certainly come to you again if we were thinking of having another holiday in Greece. The villa and area were very nice. We were perhaps expecting a slightly more 'luxurious' feel to it after seeing the photos and paying the amount we did - however we were unlucky with the weather at times and therefore there was a little leaking and bugs about the place. Nothing too much of a problem at all otherwise we would have contacted you ourselves - however as a result we would not choose that particular villa group again. Again, thank you for your good

I wanted to thank you for your superb service in assising in our planning the trip to Crete. Alma's villas turned out to be a great choice, and we enjoed our stay with Alma thoroughly. Sorry for the last minute changes on our part. Thanks again.
Anna Ippolitova
Our trip to Crete was fabulous. On every level. The arrangements you made were all perfect. We were met at the boat in Hania by both the rentacar guy and Alma from Almas villa. The rentacar was perfect the whole trip. Alma's Villa was total paradise. We couldn't think of how it could be more perfect. We loved all the people we met at these villas they were very warm and helpful. We can't thank you enough for your help and assistance.
