A brand new three-story villa, located in Kato Daratso, ensures a high-quality vacation with amenities that provide you the perfect getaway. Name a better place if you can after visiting this residence. Elegance and contemporary architecture blend and create the perfect combination away from the bustle and hustle of the city centre.

Indoor facilities – Star Luxury Villa Chania

Star Luxury villa is a three-story villa consisting of six bedrooms, divided into three floors, one of them on the ground floor, with a king-size bed and access to the backyard and one office room with a sofa that can be converted into two single beds. On the lower floor, there is a communal bathroom with two showers suitable for all the guests and a fully equipped gym for anyone who wants to keep up with their workout routine. Furthermore, in the same area, there are two more bedrooms with king-size beds. The rest of the bedrooms are situated on the upper floor and are all equipped with king-size beds and ensuite bathrooms, overlooking amazing sea views from the private balcony. Luxury and modern design complete the scenery of contemporary architecture and high-quality products. The real heart of the home is the open-concept kitchen which is situated on the ground floor, fully equipped with branded appliances and facilities, making holiday cooking a most pleasurable experience. The area is completed with a dining room and a living room with a big flat-screen smart TV. The large windows create the illusion of transparency and provide a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor areas. The minimal furnishing of the house, the neutral palette of colors and the use of wood create the perfect haven for you to lay your hair down and relax away from the fast pace of life. Every little detail in this residence is specifically selected and designed to create a very friendly but at the same time comfortable and luxurious environment for our guests.

Outdoor facilities – Star Luxury Villa Chania

Is there a better place for you during summer vacation rather than lying by the pool and having your tanning session? The outdoor heated swimming pool and the lounge space are the spots where you can rustle up a cocktail or relax while gazing at the gorgeous sunset on the sun loungers. Pretty close to the pool area there is a dining table and a BBQ area for festive culinary nights under the starlight sky. Your kids will be able to spend their day outside, playing in the playground or in the kid’s section pool, while you can have some quality time with your loved ones. Don’t forget that a secure parking area is provided outside of the villa.

Accessibility

From the parking area to the main door of the indoor space, there is a wheelchair ramp. In addition, inside the villa, there is an elevator to move from one floor to another.

Our stay here truly felt like a vacation. Each room was thoughtfully prepared with bathrooms and slippers for two, and the spacious living area opened through sliding glass doors to a beautiful pool and deck. The large kitchen and airy layout—with glass doors on both sides of the living room—made the space feel open and luxurious. Every member of our group felt pampered and relaxed. It was a wonderful stay, and we would absolutely stay again!

We had an incredible time at Star Luxury Villa. The villa was absolutely amazing and looked exactly like the photos. It was super clean, spacious. We where 10 adults in there and it was just perfect. Seaview from the pool and the balcony.

Great little town close by providing a proper autenthic greek vibe. Whilst still being close to the hustle and bustle.

Manos provided excellent service and was available via WhatsApp for any questions we might have. They also recommended boat trips taxi etc.

Can’t recommend a better place to stay.
Many thanks

Phil – Star Luxury villa
Phil – Star Luxury villa April 2025

Despite being a bit unfortunate with the weather, we had an excellent time staying at Star Luxury Villa. We were a family of 11 from 3 generations and it was ideal for us.
The villa is top quality and we loved the facilities, especially the playground area, the heated pool and the outdoor eating area. The view over the olive trees to the sea was beautiful.
The communication with Holiways was excellent right from initial enquiry and the owner, Manos was fantastic. He was friendly and attentive – always available to answer any questions and provide advice on places to go. He even happily picked up some food from the supermarket ready for our arrival as we got there late in the evening.
It is a 10 minute walk into the village of Galatas and there is a bakery, cafe, butcher, a couple of shops and a few small restaurants. We particularly enjoyed the food and atmosphere at Mastrapas.
We would definitely recommend and happily go again.

Eyal-Star Luxyry villa September 2025

We were 7 guests, occupied 4 out of 6 rooms.
The villa was clean, huge, with open views but felt very private (the land itself is bigger than the property so it made the villa feel private). The pool was fun and clean, the gym was a nice addition, the kitchen was very big with a lot of silverware and other things like pots, pans, dishes, bowls…
The host itself was very responsive, nice, helpful and it really felt like he wanted us to have a nice vacation.
We really felt at home and we were amazed by how the villa was so clean and organized on check in.
Thank you Manos for making our vacation so great!

Star Luxury Villa was a beautiful, clean, modern, comfortable, private, spacious home and Manos was an excellent host. We were looking for a six bedroom house with a pool for our extended family of 8 in the west of Crete so that we could explore its beaches and gorges – it was perfect. Each room had their own tv, closet, air conditioner, ceiling fan, balcony, bathroom and shower. The basement gym was a great bonus too.
Manos prepared a comprehensive guide of the area and we enjoyed both traditional meals in the small town of Galatas, as well as exploring the old town in Chania.
We hope to stay again in the future!

We stayed at this lovely villa for 9 unforgettable days! Very clean and new, amazing gym, and beautiful swim pool view. Simply everything you need is there! On top of that, the host of the villa (Manos) is super friendly and helpful.
Definitely, will come back to the villa!

Nous souhaitons remercier Manos qui fut un excellent hôte ! Il a toujours su répondre à nos attentes de manière professionnelle et amicale.
La maison en elle même est un bijou nichée en hauteur, ce qui donne une vue à couper le souffle chaque matin.
Nous reviendrons définitivement dans cette belle villa lors de notre prochain séjour en Crête.
Merci Manos ainsi qu’à l’équipe Holiways

We loved our stay at Star Luxury Villa. It was clear from the outset that Manos and his family put a ton of thought into the design of the home to maximize comfort and utility. We loved how the bedrooms were equipped with lush robes and slippers, ample wardrobe and counter space for our belongings. The elevator was such a great addition so that we didn’t have to lug our suitcases across 3 different floors. The pool and outdoor dining space were magical and surprisingly quiet given the house’s proximity tot the highway. The gym and playground were the cherries on top. Our kids had a blast! We’d highly recommend to future travelers.

Just back from a week at the villa – 6 adults and 4 kids (ages 3-4) and it was excellent. Villa as nice as the pictures, facilities really great for the children and adults. Manos left an information pack with lots of tips and suggestions, and was also very responsive to our queries during the stay. Highly recommended!
