Wir hatten einen wirklich tollen Aufenthalt und können die Gastgeberin und den Gastgeber von Herzen weiterempfehlen! Beide waren unglaublich nett, herzlich und vor allem sehr kommunikativ. Auf all unsere Fragen haben sie immer schnell und zuverlässig geantwortet und bei Problemen waren sie sofort zur Stelle.
Besonders schön fanden wir, dass sie uns bei vielen Dingen sehr entgegengekommen sind und stets versucht haben, unseren Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Man merkt einfach, dass bei den beiden das Zwischenmenschliche stimmt – und genau das macht einen Aufenthalt zu etwas Besonderem.
Wir haben uns rundum wohl und willkommen gefühlt und würden jederzeit sehr gerne wiederkommen. Vielen Dank für die tolle Gastfreundschaft! ❤︎
We really enjoyed our family vacation, the house is spacious and the pool is perfect. The hosts were lovely and provide good recommendations
We had an AMAZING stay at Villa Tranquilla. The house had literally everything we needed – a pool, a fully equipped kitchen, a huge backyard, in a beautifully isolated setting.
Christina and Matthew went above and beyond, from regular towel changes and cleaning to a pool cleaner who showed up almost every morning.
Communication was fantastic throughout. We booked instantly, and their flexibility blew us away. We checked in at 3am and checked out at 11pm, and they were there both times without any hassle. Anything we needed, from cab recommendations to local tips, they responded quickly and took care of it.
We traveled with two 1-year-olds, and the place was incredibly kid-friendly. They provided feeding chairs, cribs, toys, and even swimming gear for the kids, we didn’t need to bring a thing.
Highly recommend Villa Tranquilla for anyone looking for a private, isolated stay in Crete, whether it’s a family trip or a getaway with friends
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in diesem Haus in Kamisiana. Die Unterkunft war sauber, gepflegt und genauso wie auf den Fotos beschrieben. Der Pool war ein echtes Highlight und perfekt zum Entspannen. Die Lage ist ruhig und eignet sich hervorragend, um die Umgebung zu erkunden.
Der Gastgeber Matthew war freundlich, hilfsbereit und jederzeit gut erreichbar. Der Check-in und die gesamte Kommunikation verliefen problemlos.
We were on vacation with the girls at this wonderful villa and are ready to share our impressions!
The villa is located among olive trees, complete silence, tranquility, and seclusion!
The villa looks even better than in the photos!
Clean, comfortable beds and pillows, white bedding. The kitchen has all the possible equipment and even more!
The villa grounds are a separate love! A large swimming pool, which will be heated upon request, a large terrace for gatherings, a perfect green lawn, parking for cars, and much more!
We are very grateful for our wonderful vacation; everything was better than we expected.
We had a wonderful two-week stay at this villa in Crete and all of our guests had a really lovely time. The villa was amazing, spotlessly clean, and the hosts were incredibly friendly and responsive throughout our stay, probably the most responsive host we’ve ever had.
They were very accommodating when we needed a change of bed linen halfway through the stay due to different guests arriving, and they also gave us excellent recommendations for a private chef, whom we used twice and thoroughly enjoyed. They even brought us lovely cheeses and local herb pies, which was such a thoughtful touch.
There were a couple of minor teething issues with the pool heating system, which was new at the time, but Matthew worked hard to resolve them and did so to the best of his ability without causing any major disruption to our stay. A hire car is probably required, but overall we had a fantastic experience and would happily recommend the villa.
Les mots vont me manquer pour décrire la villa et nos hôtes.
Nous avons eu un accueil incroyable de la part de Christina et Matthew. Ils nous aidé tout le long de notre voyage lorsque nous avions des demandes. Ils nous ont également donné beaucoup de recommandations (restaurants, bars, visites…) afin que nous puissions faire de notre séjour une totale réussite.
La Villa est magnifique avec tous les équipements ( 3 sdb, 6 chambres, grand salon, piscine, barbecue, table de ping-pong…). Nous nous sommes réellement sentis en vacances dans un endroit calme entouré d’oliviers.
Nous recommandons cet endroit les yeux fermés et nous vous invitions à réserver au plus vite pour profiter de tous les beaux endroits que propose l’île.
PS: Matthew produit lui-même son huile d’olives qui est excellente!
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Tranquilla. The villa is very spacious, both indoors and outdoors. The bedrooms offer plenty of storage space and have comfortable beds – plus, every room comes with its own balcony. Outside, there’s an electric gate and ample space to park several cars. The lush green lawn, trees, and well-maintained garden create a beautiful setting. The pool is large and complemented by a convenient outdoor shower.
The hosts were exceptionally welcoming and helpful. One evening the outdoor grill ran out of propane, and within just 30 minutes of contacting them, it was fixed – truly world-class service! Midweek cleaning with fresh towels was also a great touch.
It truly felt like having our own private luxury resort, surrounded only by olive trees, yet still within walking distance of a bakery and just a 3-minute drive to two larger supermarkets.
We would highly recommend this place to everyone!
Villa tranquilla is amazing! I would love to go back and stay there again. The homes amenities are great! We honestly wished we had more time to stay and just enjoy the villa. Christina was so great welcoming us even though we had problems getting the rental car and were very late coming in she was kind and gracious. She was always quick to respond and clear with instructions and expectations for their lovely home. It’s so nice and private and everyone could have their own space. The location was great and close to super markets. they gave a great list of recommendations from super markets to beaches and places to go. Thank you so much for helping us create some wonderful memories!
Die Hosts waren liebevoll herzlich und sehr zuvorkommend. Die Villa ist fantastisch, der Pool und die Zimmer sehen in der Realität besser aus, aus aif den Bildern. Ich kann die Unterkunft nur empfehlen.
Very nice contact with the landlords. Were there for 10 days. The pool was cleaned twice The house was vacuumed and mopped once. The landlords also arranged a taxi for us to take to the airport.
Ett fantastiskt hus som ligger väldigt fridfullt inte långt ifrån alla restauranger och havsbad. Huset är väldigt fräscht och modernt med allt vad man kan önska sig och vi har svårt att se hur man kan hitta ett bättre boende. Allt har överstigit våra förväntningar och servicen var exemplarisk. När gasolen råkade ta slut bytte dom ut flaskan till en ny bara inom några timmar. Vi ger vår varmaste rekommendationer till detta boende och vi kommer inte ens att fundera på att bo på någon annan plats nästa gång vi besöker Kreta. Värdparet var extremt proffsiga och har tänkt på allt innan vi anlände så incheckningen var väldigt smidig. Som ni förstår känner vi en enorm tacksamhet till värdparet som gjorde vår vecka helt magisk. Så ett hjärtligt tack till att vi fick hyra just Ert hus denna sommar.
We had a wonderful stay at Matthew and Cristina’s villa. Everything was as described and the villa is beautiful. The location was great for us. We didn’t have a car but the bus stop for the local reliable bus to Kolymbari and Chania was a 5 min walk and supermarket and tavernas and beach a 10-15 min walk also. Matthew and Cristina always responded within about 10 mins and provided lots of helpful information, even helping us find a pharmacy that was open on a Sunday when one of our children needed medication. My only negative is that you could do with a few more glasses to cater for the 10 people including wine glasses. All in all a fabulous stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to return if I was back in Crete.
Ho alloggiato qui con amici, gli host sono stati molto disponibili e la villa era impeccabile!
A fantastic holiday home with wonderful hosts who couldn’t have been more happy to help. The villa was perfect for the 9 of us with a huge beautifully kept garden and pool area. We would highly recommend this villa for large groups. Thanks Matthew & Christina
Our stay at Villa Tranquilla was truly memorable. The 6 bed villa was absolutely stunning and very spacious and the pool was incredible. Our party consisted of 4 adults and an 11 month old baby, and we spent most of our time in and around the pool. The gardens were lovely and well kept, lemon and peach trees in full fruit around the grounds. Amenities and beach were about 15 mins walk from the villa, the villa is isolated which we enjoyed as it was so peaceful and quiet, sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. The views of the sea and mountains from all the balconies were incredible as well. Matthew and Kristina the owners were only a phone call away and so helpful, the microwave packed up, and after phoning Matthew he was round within the hour with a new one. The rooms were absolutely perfect, down to the bedding and towels having ‘Villa Tranquilla’ embroidered on all items. The whole villa was air conditioned which was lovely after being out in the hot sun for most of the day. A cot was provided for the baby, again this was a godsend as he could sleep off after being outside in the heat, If there was any kind of negative, no wine glasses available, other than that a fantastic place to stay! We would have no reservations about recommending anyone staying at this villa, if its available for your dates book it immediately.
Such a nice place to stay and relax. The villa is beautiful and had everything we could have asked for. Hosts were also very quick to respond to any queries we had. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again, hopefully we do soon!
Thank you so much for a beautiful stay for myself and my family. the villa was so peaceful and we felt relaxed at home. location was lovely, a little away from bigger towns but very easily accessible either by foot or the local bus (which was very helpful!) the local bakery and taverna were both very good and within a 10 minute walk. we will definitely consider a return visit. 😁
Vi var 3 familjer som hade en härlig vecka, kan varmt rekommendera detta boende.
Hieno villa rauhallisella paikalla. Hostit olivat vastassa tervehtimässä ja he vaikuttivat todella mukavilta. Saimme hyviä vinkkejä ravintoloista ja nähtävyyksistä lähialueilla. Suosittelisin tätä kohdetta rauhalliselta paikalta majoitusta etsiville. Jos haluaa lähemmäs isoja keskusta-alueita, silloin tämä ei välttämättä ole oikea paikka sinulle.
Une sublime villa au milieu des oliviers, un endroit proche de toutes les commodités, tout est absolument parfait ! Matthew et Christina sont disponibles et à l’attention de la moindre demande. Je recommande à 150% ! Un séjour parfait dans un lieu magnifique.
The whole villa is beautiful. Well positioned for a relaxing and peaceful stay. We stayed here as a family of 10 and it had everything we needed. The sea is a very short walk and it was really peaceful. We would come back and highly recommend these hosts to all. Attentive and welcoming. Amazing!
Das Haus entspricht den Bildern. Der Kontakt mit den Vermietern war super!
Everything was absolute perfect. Beautiful Villa with a view to the ocean, clean house, big pool. Amazing! Thanks for the good time and the great work. I can recommend Villa Tranquilla very much…🤗
Fantastic villa, very well maintained and very peaceful. The area is quiet and unspoiled with a good choice of restaurants locally. Highly recommended!
Absolutely perfect in every way, from the property itself to the communication, value, location, cleanliness and more. One of my best stays to date anywhere.
Amazing stay at Villa Tranquilla. The villa itself is stunning – very spacious and extremely well maintained inside with lots of outside areas to sit as well as a fantastic pool area. There is a beach and local tavernas, bakeries and shops within walking distance. A 5minute drive will take you to the local town centers with even more amenities and a bigger supermarket. Matthew and Christina were excellent hosts – reliable and punctual with communication throughout and welcomed us to the villa on our arrival. They recommended local restaurants, bakeries, taverna’s and beaches and those that we did frequent were worthy of their recommendation. We also required some medical assistance for one of the children and again Matthew and Christina were able to provide guidance on how best to proceed. We had a wonderful holiday and are very grateful to our hosts and their beautiful Villa – thanks guys.
The nicest villa I ever have stayed in. Spacy for us 10. Beautiful pool and well kept garden around the house. Well done Matthew.
The hosts are amazing and very attentive! Our family had an amazing experience at the villa and the local taxis are highly recommended! We had an enjoyable stay and will definitely be returning!
Magnificent villa with all comforts, kind and helpful owners. Thanks for everything…
Beautifully presented property in large grounds. Felt spacious and group of 10 able to mix together or find their own space. Pool area great for chilling and cooling off. Bedrooms all well sized upstairs with their own balcony. Villa is well away from neighboring properties giving sense of privacy and freedom. The owners are approachable and easy to contact. Property within walking distance of the beach. A car probably required to explore the beautiful island though bus service to Chania stops at the bottom of the lane
Spiral staircase could present problems to people with mobility issues but this is offset by bedroom and bathroom on ground floor
Loistava villa isomman porukan lomailulle. Kauniit ja siistit huoneet! Kaikki tarvittava löytyi ja vähän enemmänkin. Kaunis pihapiiri ja oma yksityinen allasalue. Muutama taverna lähietäisyydellä, muuten suosittelen linja-autolla kulkemista tai vuokra-autoa. Erittäin ystävällinen ja auttavainen majoittaja. Suosittelen!
Nous avons passé un superbe séjour entre amis. La maison était splendide et les extérieurs magnifiques. Le linge (drap, serviettes ) mis à disposition était parfait . Nous avons fait tout nos repas sur la terrasse . Le coin piscine est magnifique ainsi que le salon sous la pergola. Peut être rajouter un ou deux bain de soleil . Le logement est très spacieux. Le ménage a été fait au milieu du séjour ( nous avions loué 1 semaine). Nous avons été très bien accueilli par Matthew et Christina. Nous ne manquerons pas de recommander cette maison, et peut être y reviendrons nous .
Large. Well equipped. Clean. Beautiful garden and nice pool area.
We stayed at Villa Tranquilla for a Retreat : “one week just for me” which included Meditation, Yoga & Self-development classes.
It was the perfect Place and we felt cosy and like home from the first moment.
Matthew and Christina gave us a very warm welcome and answered any of our questions immediately when needed.
Any of our clients has been deeply relaxed . We all would highly reccomend this wonderful piece of paradise and hopefully come back!
Thank you so much and Namaste🙏
Nicole & Christine
Casa fantastica, rispecchia esattamente le foto trovate su internet.
Posto molto curato, pulito e molto grande (Abbiamo soggiornato in 11 senza problemi).
Matthew e sua moglie sono davvero gentili, ci hanno fornito un sacco di indicazioni su ristoranti spiagge escursioni e supermarket.
Posizione ottima per visitare la parte ovest di Creta con Balos, Falasarna e Elafonissi comode da raggiungere.
We stayed in May this year for a week with all our family to celebrate a special birthday. The villa was absolutely superb. Clean and beautifully decorated with a lovely garden and pool area. Nothing to fault. Matthew and his wife are excellent hosts and were on hand to answer any queries we had during our stay. He is quick to respond to messages. They even left us a few local goodies which were much appreciated. Thank you both. Highly recommend. We hope to return
Matthew and his wife are wonderful hosts! They are very open and friendly, as well as helpful. The communication was great. The interior of the villa and especially the outdoor area with the pool is simply gorgeous. We would vacation there again at any time and can only recommend Villa Tranquilla
Perfect place, with a great host. Exactly matches the pictures – very clean, everything you need for a week. Within the week it was even cleaned and fresh hand and pool towels provided. Matthew is very helpful and usually responds within a few minutes. We felt very comfortable. The beach is not far away, good bus connection to Chania. Some small restaurants nearby. You can also be louder because there are no direct neighbors nearby. All around a more than perfect accommodation for groups. We were ten people ages 20. Thanks for a great stay, Matthew – we would book again in a heartbeat!
Matthew’s place is the best. located in an olive Grove not far from the sea. The villa is as beautiful as the pictures, we were 3 adults and 6 kids and had plenty of room for everyone. Matthew was super accessible and eager to help. all and all great experience we would go there again with no hesitation.
Only one button will either open or close the main gate. Use the upper left button. Please close the gate while you are away from the villa.

In case there is no power in the remote control or in the house, you have to open the gate manually.
To do so, you have to follow the below steps:


To turn on the dishwasher, you first have to close the door and afterwards to move the knobs as you may see on the image below
Temperature: 55 degrees
Program: Universal



You may drink filtered water or have some ice by selecting the appropriate option:

Then just push the dispenser paddle with your glass or container.
This is a standard European oven.

Check if the fridge has power. If it does, then please check the keys with the card are in the card holder.

If the fridge has no power, please contact us to check if there is a power supply maintenance notification.


If it doesn’t work, try to open and close the window door again.
If that didn’t work either, you may try with another remote from another room.
