The Villas are built in a rich colourful stone that emphasizes on the more modern Cretan architecture of today. The villas offer sun flooded areas with shades of different colours during the day periods that leaves a lasting impression from every angle of the Villas. These embody the perfect example for architectural delight and study on Crete's today's civilization. The Villas are designed with high ceilings, spacious rooms and large patio windows. The wooden structure, the marble and glass features and metal fixtures blend materialistically entwined into its stone characters offering a high aesthetic result in design. High quality indoor and outdoor furnishings designed specifically for the villas complete its comfortable environment for sheer relaxation. The famous architects Aristomenes and George Baroudakis managed perfectly to capture, artful design, comfort and sheer quality at its fingertips for every welcoming guest that visits. Impressive high stone walls very thick at the bottom and thinner at the top create a castle like building perfectly harmonized with contemporary design from inside. Each Villa has its own private overflow swimming pool that can be entered by its yacht style wooden deck that is extended alongside side each of the pools. The pools are made of Diamond Brilliance finishes with quartz aggregates that give a ray of stunning rainbow like colours (iridescences) during different periods of the day. The surrounding garden areas are something to definitely highlight on, as the owners managed to maintain the original fruitful orange and olive trees in their original place during the Villas construction and add flowers and bushy plants. The fruitful orange trees burst with zest and aromas of natural essence that linger in their lush gardens and emphasize on the uniquely built quality of these three individual and private Villas. Oranges are ready to be picked up by guest during the spring and summer periods to taste the best Cretan juices.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I loved my long stay mid October, perfectly timed for beautiful beaches, incredible hiking, exploration of historic sites…all easily found close to this immaculate, light filled, architectural work of luxury design. Fully equipped kitchen, marble baths, luxurious bedding, stunning pool garden with flowers and outdoor furniture. I highly recommend! The warm hospitality of the hosts is stellar! I will be back to this villa to enjoy more of magical Crete!

My first trip to Greece and my only regret is not booking more time in Crete at this amazing place. The villa is a wonder--like something out of Architectural Digest--spacious, interesting, private. Clean, comfortable--everything you want. The owners were beyond helpful--helped us with the villa as well as car rental and a few other things. Great recommendations for restaurants in the area. Easy to get hold of and immediately responsive. Loved interacting with them. Beautiful back garden spot for breakfast. Really, I can't think of a thing they could do to improve it. Do yourself a favor and book this gem.

We traveled with our 10 year old daughter and my parents at their late 70s. Amazing property just south to Chania, Crete. 45 to 60 min drive from the fabulous beaches of Falassarna and Sfinari. The villa is beautiful it looks exactly as appears in the photos. Super clean, well organized and welcoming. The owners Despina and Niko thought of every possible detail. Despina is the ultimate host from welcoming and through out our stay she made every effort that we would be supper happy and well taken care of. Her recommendations for excursions and restaurants were pinpoint to the things we looked for. Her familiarity with the area and devotion to her guest are ultimate. In summery: when considering a luxurious destination and hosting this is over and above what you would expect to get!!!!!!

This is our third year in a row staying at Conte Marino Villas. We are a family of 5 and absolutely love this place. As the title of this review suggests, these are more than ‘just’ Villas. They have all the amenities of home (ultra fast Broadband, 4K Smart TV, Bose sound system, modern kitchen) with a high-end Villa design (modern architecture, lovely pool, quality furniture, plenty of A/C). The pool is a particular plus, especially for kids as there’s plenty of shallow end and the deep end isn’t too deep. There’s also a lovely garden with Orange trees to pick from. Beyond this, there are three things that keep us coming back: the amazing breakfast that is served each morning, the staff (incl. private chef) that work tirelessly, and Despina, the owner, who’s attention to detail, customer service, and genuine desire to make your stay as memorable as possible is second-to-none. The area is also great, as it’s close to the beach and local town (Platanias), but still feels secluded and quiet. It’s also within striking distance of places like Falasarna Beach, Kolymbari and, of course, Chania, the airport of which is only a 35 minute drive. We used to go to hotels, but Conte Marino Villas is better. We’ve stayed at other villas before, but Conte Marino Villas is better. For anyone considering a holiday in Crete, you should seriously consider coming here. We’ll be back again, for sure.

What a fantastic villa! You start your day with a delicious breakfast cooked by the private chef in the kitchen and eating area right behind the villas. Every day had new menu items and eggs with an amazing taste. The villa was stocked with all amenities, including a washer/dryer, thoughtful treats basket, fully stocked kitchen for cooking, organic bathroom shampoo, etc and large pool towels. My favorite daily activities included picking oranges from the garden trees and making fresh-squeezed orange juice and also relaxing in the pool. The beach is a short drive away and quiet and beautiful. Cleaners come every few days and keep the villa immaculate. It was a dream holiday.

We spent 10 wonderful days in July in Orangia, one of the Conte Marino Villas, but the planning by Despina, the owner, started much before that. Nothing was too much to ask and she helped us organise a high quality hire car and we arrived to a warm welcome and a stocked fridge and pantry. We also booked in advance an evening with Viktoras, the villas’ private chef which was a lovely treat! The villa itself was fantastic - beautifully done, spacious, air-conditioned throughout with a large pool and garden. And kept in perfect condition. We’d thoroughly recommend the villas and look forward to being able to Reuters in the future!

Our second time staying at Conte Marino and the experience is genuinely faultless. I can’t rate the Villa or the host Despina highly enough. The architecture of the villa is stunning and EVERY detail has been thought about. Genuinely a unique find, you will not be disappointed.

Villa Conte Marino is a fabulous getaway. We were in Villa Mandarina - the middle villa - and our stay was exceptional. The quality of the finishes, thoughtful details and amenities made for an unforgettable stay. From morning breakfast to afternoon cocktails we couldn’t have asked for a better place. Our mornings began with a private chef serving a delicious breakfast and catering to all sorts of food restrictions (gluten free and dairy free) - the food was so good. The freshly squeezed orange juice, straight from the trees on the property, was incredible. The chefs really were terrific! The villas are beautifully designed with high end finishes, well stocked and very comfortable. Every amenity is thought through, allowing one to relax and feel pampered. Unwinding poolside every day was icing on the cake. We had a rental car and drove to Chania, Elafonisi Beach (an INCREDIBLE drive winding around a mountain), and Rethymno. We would definitely recommend Villa Conte Marino.

Wonderful luxury villas with lovely grounds and pools, and all the comforts and amenities. Beautiful inside and out. Also with extraordinary daily breakfasts served by private chef. Extremely accommodating to various diet restrictions. Villas were immaculate and thoughtfully stocked. The welcome baskets with local foods to complete an entire meal were an extra special touch. A little more structure to check in, cleaning and schedule (fixed breakfast time) than we are used to, but always well-communicated and very well done. We enjoyed every minute and highly recommend.

A very well designed and wonderfully comfortable villa with a beautiful garden offering plenty of shade. The owner was super helpful and extremely responsive throughout the stay. The house is also very well located, not far from the airport and yet very close to a peaceful and quiet seaside resort of Maleme. Would love to come again!
