Maffeo, luxury villa with breathtaking views

Villa Maffeo

Modern villa with salt-treated pool (particularly gentle on the skin)

Our Villa Maffeo is a modern villa with incredible panoramic views over the expansive landscape all the way to the sea. It was built in one of the most beautiful locations, just 10 minutes from Rethymnon. The surrounding villages can be reached in a few minutes. The house is approximately 166 sqm and is spread over three levels. The property is approximately 2,000 sqm and is planted with Mediterranean plants.

The entrance area features a gallery with lounge furniture, perfect for reading.

On the next level is the living-dining area with a fully equipped kitchen, as well as a guest toilet. The terraces and the entire pool area are also located on this level. Through the large windows and from all terraces, you have incredible views!

The terraces are furnished with modern lounge furniture, comfortable loungers with cushions, and an outdoor dining area. A large daybed is also available in the garden. Relax on the shaded terraces and unwind.

On the lower level, there are two bedrooms with an extra terrace and panoramic views all the way to the sea, each with a double bed.

A large bathroom with a large shower is right next door.

There is also another bedroom on this level with two single beds and an en-suite bathroom with a shower.

From here, there is an additional exit leading to the pool area. All bathrooms have natural light.

The washing machine is located in a small separate room.

All rooms have shutters or blinds and are equipped with fly screens. All bedrooms and the living room have air conditioning and satellite TV (Astra with almost all German channels).

The villa is cleaned once a week, and linens are also changed twice a week upon request.

Traumvilla mit Traumsicht

Wir haben die Maffeo gut gefunden und waren sofort verliebt in sie. Es ist alles und noch viel mehr vorhanden, als man sich wünschen kann. Die Villa war sehr sauber und gepflegt, aber so kennen wir die Kretafan Villas auch! Helga und Sifis haben uns gut beraten und wieder einige Geheimtipps gegeben. Wir waren heuer schon das dritte Mal auf Kreta und bei Beibls. Das Haus können wir mit bestem Gewissen weiterempfehlen. Von Kastellos aus ist man in 25 Minuten im Süden in Plakias, Damnoni etc. Das Kloster Preveli liegt fast auf dem Weg. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. Die Vier aus Bayern

Villa als Adlerhorst

Wir waren heuer schon mal bei Helga und Josef. Wiederholungstäter, wie Josef immer sagt. Es war wieder super. Gerne bewerten wir die Villa mit fünf Sternen. Wir werden auch wieder zu Euch kommen. Viele Grüße von den Vier. Vielleicht nächstes Mal zur Olivenernte?!

Eine Woche wie im Paradies

Im April 2018 durften meine Frau und ich eine Woche in der Villa Maffeo verbringen und die einzigartige Gastfreundschaft von Helga und Josef Bleibl genießen. Es war eine Woche wie im Paradies, es gibt kaum ein schöneres Ambiente, um am Pool zu entspannen, die Ruhe und den Ausblick zu genießen und der ab und zu vorbeiziehenden Schafherde zuzusehen. Die Villa inkl. Pool ist sehr gepflegt und sauber - wir können einen Aufenthalt dort uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Danke an das Ehepaar Bleibl für die aufmerksame und zuvorkommende Betreuung!

Villa ohne Einschränkungen

Herzlichen Dank an die Beibls. Unser Urlaub war ein einmaliges Erlebnis. Die Villa war mit allem ausgestattet wie in der Beschreibung beschrieben. Es war alles sauber und schön eingerichtet. Bei Fragen waren Helga und Josef immer da. Wir haben schon wieder gebucht. Ute und Jürgen

Ideale Villa zum Kreta-Erkunden

Die Villa ist der ideale Ausgangspunkt zur Erkundung der Insel. Die Villa war wie immer Top gepflegt und alles in Ordnung. Wir waren in der Taverne in Goules, Gonia und bei Antonis in Prines. Alle super lecker. In ca 20 Minuten ist man im Sùden in Plakias.

Schöner Blick auf die Weißen Berge und die Ägäis

Die Villa Maffeo läßt keine Wünsche offen. Es war alles wie beschrieben. Die Lage ist super. Auf der Straße kein Verkehr. Sehr sauber und gepflegt. Helga und Josef Beibl hatten super Tipps für uns und waren auch sonst immer für Fragen offen. Es hatten noch nicht alle Tavernen offen. In dem Haus liegt eine Liste mit Tavernen aus, die haben wir durchprobiert, alle erste Sahne. Wir haben viele Wanderungen unternommen. Da die Villa zentral liegt, kann man viele Plätze auf Kreta schnell erreichen. Wir waren schon öfter auf Kreta und kommen bestimmt bald wieder. Lutz

Sicht und Natur pur

Die Villa Maffeo ist das Beste, das uns in diesem Urlaub passieren konnte. Die Sicht ist überwältigend. Das Haus ist komplett ausgestattet, mit allem, was das Herz begehrt. Der Pool ist super. Fast täglich kreisen riesige Greifvögel über uns, einfach super. In kurzer Zeit waren wir im Süden an den Stränden, im Kloster Preveli und anderen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Tavernen gibt es in Armeni, nur wenige Minuten entfernt. Und natürlich die Taverna in Kastellos bei Vassili. Wir haben dann noch eine zweite Villa der Beibl`s in diesem Urlaub bewohnt. Wir kommen nächstes Jahr auch wieder. Lena und Passi
