About the home

The Beech House is a delightful one bedroom property nestling in a secluded and private corner of the small and exclusive Olive Grove. The Olive Grove villas are situated Roman style around the large shared swimming pool, which in turn leads to the gravelled off-road parking area.

At the entrance to the property there is a large date palm, roses and bougainvillea, and dotted around the pool there are a number of plants in traditional clay pots. Situated only 4 minutes flat walk from the sandy beach, and excellent tavernas and shops in the village of Almyrida, this villa represents excellent value for money.

Climb the outside staircase at The Beech House, and you will find a private 50m2 fully tiled roof terrace which is equipped with a table and chairs, sun-beds and an umbrella and is the perfect spot for sunbathing.

There are beautiful views to the olive clad hills which surround Almyrida, the village itself, and the stunningly beautiful White Mountains. Sited on the west side of the pool, the villa’s front terrace enjoys early morning to mid afternoon sun.

The Beech House is ideal for a couple or a small family who are on a budget but who still expect extraordinary comfort and convenience. An easy walk back to the villa after an evening out at a taverna, means that you will never have to worry about drinking and driving.

The Crete region

Crete has everything you that could possibly want from a holiday: soaring mountains that are snow capped from November to June, many great walking trails including Europe's deepest gorge, ancient archaeological sites and Minoan palaces, quaint villages, sparkling clear blue seas with tavernas serving freshly caught fish, golden beaches, glorious wild flowers in the Spring, and a variety of delicious foods which are all made from healthy home grown produce.

As incredible as the island is, it is the Cretan people who will make your holiday truly memorable. Descendants of the Minoan's, one of Europe's earliest civilizations, and shaped by centuries of struggle against oppression, the Cretans are as rugged as the mountains, fiercely independent but passionately friendly.

The Beech House is located in the heart of The Apokoronas Region just east of the beautiful town of Chania. With its stunning Venetian harbour, quayside bars and restaurants, what better place to relax and watch the world go by. In the narrow streets behind Chania's harbour you will find tavernas, bars, the famous covered market, and many local shops selling handicrafts, textiles, jewellery and hand made ceramics. Visit 'Leather Lane' for outstanding hand made leather bargains.

The climate of Crete is a temperate Mediterranean climate and the weather is characterized by long hot, dry summers and mild winters. The Spring can be warm and sunny during the day but still have cooler evenings and is perfect for walking, birdwatching and looking at the wild flowers. All in all Crete is absolutely perfect for your Villa holiday.

The Chania / Almyrida area

The heart of the lovely village of Almyrida is only 300m from The Beech House and is built around a pretty crescent shaped sandy beach, with a small fishing harbour at the eastern end. The beach is very shallow and safe, which is good news if you have children or are not a strong swimmer. Lining the beach are 4 excellent tavernas, 9 café/bars, 2 bakeries, a wonderful jewellery shop, 5 mini-markets, 3 gift shops, Villas Crete Holidays for tourist information and trips, and an off-license. Also in Almyrida there is a water sports centre which rents out kayaks, windsurfers and catamarans, and a scuba diving office.
A few minutes by car from the villa, there are a huge variety of archaeological sites and traditional villages with wonderful tavernas. There is also an interesting selection of small craft centres and museums, including glass blowing in Kokkino Horio, lace makers in Gavalohori, and silk makers in Kalamitsi. For those of you looking for even more activity, the historic town of Chania is only 30 minutes away by car.

Cooking classes and wine tasting set at a local winery can be taken by those of you who are interested. Guided walks led by experts in mountaineering and/or flora and fauna can also be arranged. For those of you who prefer to venture out on your own, a free copy of the guide book "Crete on the Road" by Frankie Miles comes with every villa. The book contains detailed directions to many well known and hidden sites, opening times and prices for all attractions, taverna recommendations, and the only existing map of the National Highway showing the exits and entrances.
