Blue Paradise villa With Pool And Jacuzzi For 5 People
Built in a quiet hamlet of the village Margarites, the Tzannakiana villa ‘Blue Paradise’ is a country retreat, stone-built with a distinctive blend of modern and traditional. In an area of natural beauty, surrounded by a garden of flowers, herbs and plants. This is a luxurious villa to rent for your perfect holiday.
The villa is on the outskirts of the hamlet and so has stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea, the surrounding lush countryside and mountains. Quiet and private but not isolated, just 0.6km from the centre of the picturesque village of Margarites where there are traditional tavernas, cafes and a supermarket. The village of Margarites also has a renowned pottery where visitors have the opportunity to watch the ceramic pottery being made.
Blue Paradise Villa is only 20 km from Rethymno, 72 km from Heraklion airport and 95 km from Chania airport. The villa is also in the vicinity of several places of historical interest such as Arkadi (16km), ancient Eleftherna (5 km) and a little bit further afield the famous archaeological site of Knossos (72 km). And conveniently, the villa is just 13 km (approx: 10-15 minute drive) from the beautiful, sandy beaches of Panormo. In the large village of Panormo you will find more amenities.

Throughout, the interior has been furnished with stylish, modern wooden and steel furniture and elegant fabrics, with some modern and traditional touches, all in perfect harmony. Plus, there is ample storage space in all of the rooms.

Very nice location; especially outdoors with pool and garden. Friendly and welcoming host; we even found a first set of drinks and breakfast in the villa. Clean-up of pool and rooms every three-days. Gernerally great stay.
Fantastic property a few minutes walk from Margarites. Pool was amazing. Elias was very helpful host and very generous offerings on arrival. Would definitely recommend.
The villa is comfortable and in a quiet location lots of birdsong and fragrant orange trees. We were there “out of season” (mid to end march) so some of the local stores and restaurants were just beginning to open. That meant cooler weather, and fewer places to visit, but also an absence of the summer crowds.
we spent a wonderful week at Blue Paradise! We were the first holes of the season and we received a friendly welcome from the owner Elyas. The house was clean and very complete and the garden looked magical in the evening. The neighborhood is quiet and within walking distance is a supermarket, nice shops and excellent eateries. In short, a wonderful place to relax and enjoy!
Just got back from an amazing week at Blue Paradise! It was exactly as described and the host Elias was so helpful and on hand to answer any questions straight away.
Pool was beautiful and cleaned several times during our stay. My boys are age 14 & 17 and loved the place too!
Margarites is only a short 10 minute stroll away with some beautiful and very reasonable prices tavernas.
We recommend a trip to the water park near Heraklion if you have a car.
Overall a fabulous stay!
The property is a real jewel, secluded with amazing views. Having air con, a pool and Wi-Fi was enough to keep the children happy during a heatwave and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet Cretan holiday. Cleaned regularly and Elias could not be more helpful
What a fantastic place to stay. Superb communication with host (Elias) prior to and during stay. There was a food hamper on arrival with wine which was great as we arrived very late in the evening. Villa very spacious with beautiful outdoor courtyard area and spotlessly clean. Lots of character and just a short walk from the village of Margarites which has some lovely ceramic shops and places to eat. Monestary in the village is worth a visit too and we fell in love with the Pomegranate trees. Pool was discreetly cleaned every couple of days. A great base for exploring the central part of Crete with it's dramatic mountain range and beautiful scenery. Rethymno and Panormo great places to visit close by. We would love to re visit.
We absolutely loved the villa. In a quiet location and a short walk to Margarites, where there was a local shop for amenities and many tavernas and pottery/gift shops. A lovely walk too up to the monastery.
The villa itself was perfect. It was clean and Elias provided everything we needed, it was like a home from home. The villa was cleaned twice whilst we were there and Elias was quick to respond to any queries. The pool was great, and we made use of the BBQ too.
I highly recommend this villa and would love to return someday
A car is required to get around as you are fairly remote. But still close enough to drive to local beaches around 20mins away.
This villa is everything we wanted, needed and more.
This villa is everything we wanted, needed and more.
We stayed as an adult family of 3 for 2 ½ weeks late June into early July.
We were greeted by Iannis, who showed us around and answered any questions we had, he’d installed a DVD player for us in advance as we’d asked before we arrived if there was one, and he tended the pool every 2 days before we even made our breakfast!!! Very discreet and quiet service. Iannis and Elias were very quick to respond to any issues and questions we had, the way they looked after us was really good – but ONLY when we needed it.
Otherwise, we were left alone to enjoy a well appointed and spacious villa with good outdoor space and everything we needed for entertainment; 3 TVs, large bathroom with jacuzzi, lovely big bedrooms (best holiday sleeps we’ve had!) and a well-equipped kitchen with plentiful utensils and crockery etc. On arrival, the fridge had water, a bottle of wine, conserve, butter, crispbreads and fruit, which was lovely.
The washing machine is a good one and cleans well.
Outside, the pool is plenty big enough, lovely clover lawn, there is a shower and a great barbecue. 4 sunbeds, 2 easy chairs, great big glass-topped table & chairs under a useful canopy.
Highly recommended, best villa we’ve had in 30 years of travelling to Greece.
Fabulous find for a quiet stay away from it all while still within distance of the beach resorts on the North coast. Elias the owner was extremely helpful and the property was cleaned 6 times in 2 weeks each time with a sheet and towel change. You will need a car to get about but a very nice property with an excellent pool too.
Great holiday, great property, great people, spoilt a bit by Helios not putting in enough appearances.

Really nice, well finished property with excellent host!
Blue Paradise is a really peaceful property, beautifully finished only a couple of years ago so at a really high standard. The pool is a good size and the outside areas great for dining out in the evenings or spending the day in cooling by the pool!
The owners father was born here so it is very well finished and cared for unlike a usual holiday rental house. Only thing to bear in mind with young children is there is lots of steps!
The villa is in the hamlet of Tzannakiana but Margarites is only a few hundred yards away and is a pretty mountain village with a few places to eat and drink and lots of pottery shops!
Todo perfecto. La casa muy acogedora y bien equipada. Hemos podido disfrutar de la piscina y cenar cada noche en la terraza. Nos gustaría volver otea vez!
