Without the merest doubt, Conte Marino Villas in Chania of Crete is the hottest new entry in this year's tourist season. Three boutique villas distinguishable for their refined luxury, their privacy but also for their high aesthetics, the designer materials used and the decorative furniture which has been selected piece by piece by the owners Mr. Nikolaos Galanis and Mrs. Despina Sivaropoulou. Their aim was to present guests with the Cretan customs and traditions via cordial hospitality within a very luxurious residence. Mrs. Despina Sivaropoulou shares her vision with us.  

What made you choose this particular area of Crete for the creation of Conte Marino Villas?

The creation of Conte Marino Villas was a life dream for us. Having lived in various European countries, our heart and mind always belonged to Chania and our village - Kontomari - which boasts a strategic location amidst spectacular nature and is a splendid location for the creation of a unique living space with ample privacy, luxury and style.

What was your vision? 

Our vision is to attract people from around the world, of different cultures and bring them in contact with the Cretan way of life. We really wish our guests feel at home, they have a memorable and experiential stay with us so that they will return again and again. Very significant for us is the provision of high-end services that project the elements of the local culture and the Mediterranean diet.
