Self Catering Accommodation in Marathi

Very private, tranquil and comfortable hotel, very clean rooms and swimming pool! Special great appreciation for the kitchen facilities - simple, exactly what is needed, very good quality and well thought through. Anastasia, Hotel Manager (and all the staff) is very friendly and customer oriented. All our wishes were fulfilled easy and with the smile. This is our second time in this beautiful hotel and we will come again for sure!

The pool was the very big advantage of the appartment (big for 5-6 family, good for small kids and one side with 3m depth). The pool was open even on the evenig with nice lighting. The appartment was new (less than 10 years old). Separation was good from other apartments. Everthig was clean and maintained. Staff were helpful.

A lovely renovated Cretan house/villa in a beautiful quiet setting. Beautiful pool and spacious outdoor cooking/eating area. The rooms were clean and comfortable, all with air-conditioning, the kitchen well equipped. The host responded quickly to requests. My family loved their stay at the villa! And as the villa is just on the edge of the village and private, the children were able to be children, ie noisy in the pool! 10 minutes walk to the village square and amazing views.

Modern and clean place. Personnel was polite kind and polite.

The villa was perfect and the views were out standing

Everything was great! Thanks to Eleni!

This place has an amazing location, we had all our meals on the terrace watching the sea ! The sea is accross the road, you can jump or you can walk 1 minute until the sandy beach... The garden is wonderful for Kids with the playground. Everything is very clean. Thank you for your hospitality and for the gifts on our arrival.

We stayed 3 nights at Villas Fennel and had a wonderful stay. The villa was amazing, with an incredible view and a beautiful setting, including the pool and garden. The house is very well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing and peaceful stay. The host was extremely helpful, responsive, and available whenever needed. We would definitely recommend Villas Fennel to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable, and beautiful place to stay.

Almost everything. - we had a great 2 week stay. A short summary of the highlights are below: Accommodation: Two bedrooms in the main villa, the third bedroom is upstairs by the pool (which is on the roof). The 3rd bedroom has its own ensuite and kitchenette. All three bathrooms are superb with probably the nicest showers we have experienced in any villa in Crete. The pool and poolside area is terrific. Be aware the pool gets deep very quickly. Lots of tables and chairs to relax on with a good balance of sunny and shady spots to choose from as the sun moves around the house. The view over Souda bay is delightful. Shops: The nearest shop in Marathi beach is probably walkable (15-20mins), but has limited options for self catering. Much easier to have a car to get to bakery, shops and pharmacy in Sternes, Spar supermarket in Aroni or the Aldi in Chania. Food & Drink: The Taverna at Loutraki beach (5 mins walk) has closed, possibly permanently. There is a beach bar which serves snacks and sandwiches, but this closes at sunset. A new Onar beach lounge (opened May 2025) is on the southern part of Loutraki beach. This is aimed at the more affluent local & tourist market. Book a bed online for the day and enjoy the sun, sea, pool, music and people watching. There are minimum spend requirements, depending on location of your bed. The is also a restaurant above the Onar beach lounge called Istio. This has a Michelin starred chef and the food is definitely a little bit special. Good ambience, good service, not busy... but pricier than the average Taverna. There are more eating options at Marathi beach, about 3-5 mins by car. The usual array of fish restaurants / tavernas as well as beach bars and also a take-away on the pier, which is well worth a visit. Management: Communication with the management company coudn’t have been better. They reacted promptly to any requests and questions.

Beautiful modern home on the hill with majestic view. The home is very functional and practical, good AC. We spend every evening on the terrace enjoying the sunsets, true luxury feel

Perfect location overlooking marathi views were stunning, it was also lovely and private plenty of room for a large family or group of friends. Support from owner and staff was outstanding we will definitely return.

Very friendly and helpful host, nice pool, big room (living room with kitchen and sleeping room), super clean, 5 minutes to the beach with a lot of restaurants
