About Us

We are a small privately owned limited company registered in England and Wales. Our company registration number is 5207604.

We started the company in 2002 when we began renting our own house in Kokkino Chorio, near Chania. The company has grown gradually since then as other owners approached us to rent out their properties for them. We only work with owners who aim for the same high standards as ourselves. As every owner has his/her own property manager we make sure that the standards we set are applied throughout in respect of things such as general maintenance, pool cleaning and linen changes. We are also here to give you unbiased information about any aspect of your holiday.

Our ethos has always been to offer a high quality service and to provide you with a well equipped, well maintained holiday villa. We know all of the villas that we feature on this website and we are in regular contact with the owners, many of whom use their villa as their own holiday home. You can therefore expect a house or villa that is furnished and equipped to a much higher standard than you might expect in a “standard” rental property. You can normally expect to find a full cooker, fridge/freezer, washing machine, iron, ironing board and hairdryer in all of our properties. If we say that the villa is in the luxury category this may be due to its location, magnificent views and/or additional facilities offered eg dishwasher or entertainment features.

Emergency Help if you need it – even though you are “independent” and won’t be hassled by a holiday rep trying to sell you excursions, all owners have to provide details of an English speaking contact in case of emergencies. Most of the villas will contain our villa information folder which includes a comprehensive list of useful / emergency telephone numbers

Friendly, Informal but informed Service – we hope that you are able to find answers to your questions on this website but if you need more information please do ask, we will be pleased to help.
