About the home

The villa has been thoughtfully designed and planned so that all principal rooms on the ground floor and the 2 bedrooms on the first floor have double doors opening onto balconies or terraces, all with sea views. The first floor balcony is a wonderful place to sip a glass of wine and watch the sun go down.

Outside are 3 pergolas(all shaded) with numerous seating options for those relaxing al fresco meals all overlooking the pool and with sea views. The garden is well stocked with plants, orange and lime trees.

The village is within easy reach where there are a choice of supermarkets, kafeneons and restaurants so no need to travel far if you don't want to. The owner employs a maintenance company who live in the village and who will be glad to help you should you need it.

The owners have assembled a guide book and web site to give tips about things to do and places to visit including their favourite places and restaurants. They take pride in caring for their guests and have taken great care with the furnishings and fittings in the house all to a high standard.

A maid makes a visit during the week cleans and changes the bedlinen and towels.

The lounge is comfortably furnished with 2 large sofas and for your entertainment there is a TV with satellite reception (not Sky but BBC news and plenty of English speaking programmes), DVD and CD (some DVDs provided. The owner has also arranged for an internet wifi connection to be installed and is expected to be ready for beginning new year and these are very difficult to obtain in Crete.

The two twin bedrooms are both on the first floor where the main bathroom is also situated.

Fantastic views of the sea and mountains can be enjoyed from most elevations at this villa and from the beautiful tiled pool with easy access and the surrounding spacious sun bathing terraces to the front and sides of the villa.

The Crete region

Crete lies at the point where the continents of Europe, Asia and Africa meet; it is the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean with an area of 8,300 square kilometres.

Crete, island of the Minoan civilisation, has everything to offer – mountains, crystal clear seas, blue flag beaches, historical towns, traditional villages and an abundance of locally grown produce. The climate is agreeable with over 300 days of sunshine a year and generally mild winters.

Crete is divided into four areas. From west to east they are: Chania, Rethymnon, Iraklio and Lassithi. All of our villas and houses are in the Chania area.

This impressive Venetian city is arguably the most beautiful and cosmopolitan on Crete with the White Mountains providing a picturesque and dramatic backdrop. With its Venetian harbour, museums, fascinating indoor market and an old quarter of narrow streets packed with interesting shops, tavernas and bars, Chania offers something for most visitors.

It is a vibrant place steeped in Byzantine, Venetian and Turkish history. The harbour area is a great place to sit and watch the world go by at one of the water front tavernas or you may like to try the park on Tzanakaki Street where there is a lovely cafe tucked away amongst the trees which is popular with the locals.

As in all large cities, you will find a full range of amenities here. Chania is easily accessible from all of our properties either by bus, taxi or car.

The Kefalas, Crete area

Limnoupolis Water Park - This water paradise is situated in a green area of almost 100,000 m2; 6 kms west of Chania next to the village of Varipetro. There is a large pool measuring 1,500m2 with a pool bar, jacuzzi and a small island. With plenty of glides and rides for the whole family the park is open from 10 am to 7pm every day from May to September.

Samaria Gorge – the gorge is usually open from May to the end of October. Starting at Omalos, the gorge is the longest in Europe at 18kms and is very popular. The walk ends at Agia Roumeli on the south coast. If you don’t fancy doing the walk independently there are travel agents in most of the tourist villages who offer all inclusive bus trips which can be very handy for the return journey from Ag. Roumeli.

Kalives and Almirida have lovely beaches suitable for all the family and plenty of shops and bars just a short walk from the beach or you may prefer to drive a little further to Georgoupolis and spend the day under a sunbed and umbrella on the beach with swings, restaurant and bar all close by, try ???? which is one of the owners as well as a favourite of the locals.

The nearest airport is Chania which is 40 minutes drive away from the villa. Heraklion airport is 1.75 hours away and has more choice in terms of the airlines and number of flights and is worth considering if the cost of flights has a saving.

The owners have been using car hire from www.autotrip.gr for a number of years which will deliver to all airports in Crete but there is a large number of car hire companies to choose from. The worldwide hire companies tend to be considerably more expensive.

Easyjet fly to Chania.

A local bus goes from the village centre into Chania via Vamos.

If you wish to fully relax when out for the evening local taxis can be booked.
