Two sisters and our husbands in Crete for 4 days. We loved this apartment. It is beautiful inside and out. The grounds and views are amazingly beautiful. The inside perflectly appointed. Clean and beautiful and great space for us and our rental car. I can't say enough about our host Mary Ellen. She helped us plan our stay and even made restaurant reservations and transport arrangements for us. I can't wait to return. This place is truly special. It exceeded my expectations. The pictures on the website are beautiful but it is even more beautiful and elegant in person.

Super

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

Our seven night stay was a delight. The grounds were spectacular, ideal for reading or soaking in the pool. The house has large windows in all rooms, all with great views of Chania ... and was bright and clean. Maryellen made our arrival special; in the house were fresh fruit, freshly baked pound cake, and fresh flowers. And Maryellen made it clear that she was ready to answer all our questions and provide recommendations. A wonderful experience !

We had an amazing time in Crete thanks to Maryellen and the location of her lovely house. The accommodation was spectacular! Everything you need was provided. We were so appreciative and thankful of a home-made meal from Maryellen and her parents after arriving at midnight following a 24 hour travel day. Maryellen’s hospitality went above and beyond our expectations. Thank-you!!! :)

Beautiful house just a short drive away into Chania + the venetian port. Stellar host—super responsive and accommodating ! All we could ask for and more. Sad we couldn’t stay longer…

We really loved our stay. The highlight was the pool and outside space ( plenty of room for children to run around). Inside the kitchen, living space and bathrooms were high end and well appointed. Felt like a luxury hotel. The pictures don’t do the view justice; sitting in the terrace and watching the sunset was a highlight of the trip.

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.

It was most betifull place we ever enjoy in our vacations. Clean Spacious ground floor with magical garden. Jaw dropping views on entire Chania old port and mountains. Maryellen was real pleasure to deal with. Very helpfull with good advice. Marathi beach, she recommended, has perfect sandy beach with easy access and great restaurant with swift service and very tasty dishes. We will definitely come back!!!! Strongly recommend this property for family and honeymooners. You will be definitely 100% satified

Really a great place to stay. A warm welcome by the owners and excellent service during our stay. Nice and useful recommendations by the owner regarding restarurants and leisure including boattrip. All together a great experience!

My husband and I just spent 2 weeks at this gorgeous property. Every single aspect of this rental exceeded our exceptions. First, MaryEllen is an extremely responsive, helpful, and a great host! From our very first contact over a year before our stay and up to our sunset goodbye cocktail with her the night before we left. She offered us a lot of good advice in advance and answered my questions during our trip quickly (helping us to make the most of each excursion). We feel like we made a new friend! It was obvious from the very moment we entered the property, that a lot of thought went into making this property welcoming & comfortable for guests. It is even more lovely than the pictures. The styling of the furnishings is upscale and yet so comfortable you feel right at home (nothing is “tired” or old…. everything is in great condition). The kitchen is well outfitted to make cooking easy if you choose to stay in. There were many staples such as spices, olive oil, salt/pepper, crackers, butter, some coffee pods, sugar, etc. - - so nice not to have to buy those basics. We took advantage of the outside grill and their fresh herb garden several nights. MaryEllen, had stocked the fridge with a few necessities to make our arrival / first day seamless, without having to run straight to the grocery store. The bathrooms are very clean, spacious, modern, with many towels, shampoo, soap, and plenty of toilet paper. We took advantage of the washer / dryer so we didn’t have to pack as much nor bring home dirty clothes. We watched some Netflix a few evenings - - so nice to have an account set up for our use. I can’t even remember all the thoughtful things included in the apartment, but I think you get the idea. Now, as for THAT VIEW! WOW! The outside sitting areas (yes there are several) are all comfortable and well placed. That magnificent infinity pool looking out to the sea and Chania is just breathtaking (and we even have our own pool at home). Every morning and and every evening we just soaked in that amazing, peaceful glorious view. As mentioned in the listing, this is also a family home. MaryEllen lives nearby and her parents live on the two floors above the apartment - - yet you have complete privacy! We met both of them and thoroughly enjoyed talking with them, so therefore we often stopped to chat, but if you’re more private, there is no obligation. You will not be disappointed with a stay here!

La propriété est superbe . La vue sur le port de La Canée est envoutante et les couchers de soleil mémorable. La Canée est une ville charmante et très riche par son histoire. L'appartement est parfaitement aménagé. Le moindre détail est soigné. Maryellen est une hôte très prévenante. Nous reviendrons.

Tolle Lage und eine herzliche Gastgeberin Maryellen, die sehr um ihre Gäste bemüht ist. Wir haben uns hier sehr willkommen gefühlt

We have been staying at HomeAway properties for the past 10 years and this one is by far superior to all of them. This felt more like staying at a 5* hotel, with high quality linens and towels, beautiful furnishings, and a great concierge service. The place was spotless and cleaning services were regular and completely non-intrusive. Maryellen contacted us a couple of weeks before our trip asking what foods we'd like to get us started. We found all our favorite foods and more, all of the best quality. She even replenished some of the items when we couldn't find them to purchase, and left "gifts' of delicacies at our doorstep throughout our stay. The weather was unseasonably chilly but nice heating systems in the house kept us comfortable and cosy. TV and Netflix worked perfectly, great to have on those cooler nights when we didn't want to go out. The kitchen is as well furnished as the rest of the house, with beautiful dishes, matching glasses, olive oil and all the basic spices. All in all, a home away from home, with the feel of a luxurious vacation. I recommend this property to any discerning traveller and tell you to look no more! This is it!

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.

What an amazing house with a view to die for ..! brand new with all the facilities , so well equiped and great hospitality . Top notch !! Marryellen spoiled us and was so friendly and helpfull . One of the best places I have ever been to , highly recommended !!

We stayed in Kyanon house only for 5 nights (unfortunately) but wish we could stay longer. The house was surrounded by trees and located in an amazing spot overlooking the town of Chania, which was only 5 min drive. It also had one of the most beautiful sunsets we had seen. A few of the things worth noting was the beautiful pool, the nicely decorated interior with attention to detail, all the amenities that were available for us to use and very importantly the cleanliness inside and outside the house. Last but not least, Mariellen and her family were great hosts!!! They offered us advice about things to do and where to go and always made sure that we are satisfied with our stay. We also enjoyed all the small Cretan treats they brought us. Thank you for an amazing stay and looking forward to seeing you again. Katerina
