Great villa! Would definitely stay again.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the villa and loved Almyrida. Whilst the villa is a little way out of Almyrida, it has incredible views and is only a short drive from the main beach area. We also found plenty of great restaurants to eat. James and Suzanne were very accommodating and the housekeepers were quick to resolve a couple of small issues on arrival.
Really nice villa in quiet location.
Very well equipped villa and the most stunning views. Hire car definately an advantage, 10min to nearest beach at Almyridia. You can walk but it's all downhill so uphill on return.
Spotless villa and pool, perfect place to relax, local tavernas ok to eat at and local shops have necessary supplies. Would we return-YES.
Beautiful villa in a charming location!
We have just returned from a fabulous two weeks at the villa. The views are stunning over Souda Bay and the sunsets are incredible. The villa is spacious and the pool is perfect with a shallow and deep end. The children loved it, as did we. Kokkino Chorio itself is small yet charming. There’s a real sense of community there. The local taverna is great with a good selection of meals. The local shop is great, although as so many English brands are imported it isn’t cheap. We managed without a car and walked down to the beach at Almyrida (45 mins) as well as to Plaka (20 mins) for evening meals. We got taxis back as it was too steep to walk back.
The villa is well equipped with pretty much all that you need. We made great use of both balconies and all of the people in the neighbouring villas were very friendly. Despite all of the other villas being occupied we were still often the only ones in the pool.
We did have some bother with the pesky wasps who descend en mass if you eat dinner before sunset. We didn’t get bothered by them at lunch or in Almyrida, but in the village they were a problem. The solution was to order food as the sun was setting and then we had no further problems.
I would thoroughly recommend this villa and we certainly plan to return at some point in the future.
Compact beauty; Excellent pool. Fabulous Views and great location
Super views over the bay. With its range of balconies, terraces and roof space, there is always somewhere to enjoy the sun or shade. The pool is delightful. Easy walk to well stocked village store and even better another store in Plaka was our favourite. Few minutes' drive to the beach resort which was sleepy and quiet but full of very good restaurants along the front. The sea is very clean and lovely for bathing with a very conscientious lifeguard. We would recommend this property for a family with small children,
Well designed and situated at the quieter end of the plot. Two great balconies.
Thanks so much for letting us rent your villa. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the rest and relaxation.
Unfortunately the weather wasn't as good as usual for this time of year.
Nevertheless we enjoyed visiting many places around the western end of the island.
The villa is very well equipped and comfortable with amazing views across Souda Bay.
My only criticism is that we did not receive a mid stay change of bed linen and towels.
Hello Lynne, we are delighted you had a great time at Villa Victoria and enjoyed the area, it really does have everything for a superb holiday.
Note: fresh linens and towels were available in the cupboard to change at your convenience. We find guests prefer that.
We look forward to welcoming you back next time.
Amazing Views
Property was perfect for our needs. Lovely location in pretty village with amazing views. Everything you need for your stay and very nicely furnished.

What's near Villa Victoria?
Unlike the high remote areas of Kokkino Chorio, Villa Victoria enjoys fantastic position situated near to the main square in Kokkino Chorio (translates as Red Village on account of the rich soil). This position offers tremendous views of Souda bay and strikes the right balance between peace and quiet yet a short stroll to the local traditional tavernas in the main village square (with live music on offer from time to time) and also at the local glass art works with a lovely Taverna there too. There is a well-stocked minimarket for all your food, drink and other essentials (bread, eggs, fruit and veg delivered fresh) just a stroll away.
The villa is near to other villages such as Almyrida, Plaka, Drapanos, Kambia and Gavalahori (get sampling the local olive oil and raki!) .
Is there internet access at the villa? yes!
TV? sat tv is available.
How big is the pool?
The pool is big! It is a great size for a good swim. It is shared with 4 other villa’s in the same plot when they are occupied. There are sun loungers in your private garden and fresh beach towels provided in the villa so you don’t have to worry about bringing them with you.
Is there a car park?
There is a private car park adjacent to the Villa. The road leading to the villa has recently been resurfaced so no dirt tracks!
Where’s the nearest beach?
Blue Flag beach resorts of Almyrida and Kalyves are within 7 to 15 mins by car. These locations offer a wider range of tavernas, coffee stops and shops, bars & water sports as well as banks, pharmacy and gift shops.
How close are the airports?
Airports: Chania - 35 mins by car, Heraklion 90 mins by car. It’s easy to drive around Crete, it has one national road (main road) with good signage in English and Greek.
Loads of airlines operate in both airports: Easyjet, Jet 2, Ryanair, Monarch, Thomsons, Thomas Cook, Aegean, Olympic Airlines, Norwegian Air and many more and most now from most UK airports, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and most other European cities. Good connection routes from EU airports and from Athens will take you into Chania or Heraklion. Surf Skyscanner.net or Travelsupermarket to compare routes and prices.
Although we don't offer pick up service, car hire is recommended with both airports and local company’s car companies offer excellent rates. We find ‘Art Car Rental’ particularly competitive and reliable. There is a good taxi service available from outside the terminal building of both Chania and Heraklion airports and bus services that will take you into the main towns and from there taxi service will take you to the Villa in Kokkino Chorio.
Need a longer let?
For those interested in longer term lets, perhaps over winter in preparation for permanent move or those seeking an activity holiday for walking or cycling you will find the area and Villa Victoria in particular is a great place to be based. We can offer competitive off season rates, please email with the dates of your intended stay.
Like an active holiday?
Western Crete is an ideal spot for walking and cycling and many groups use the location for exploring the authentic country side. There are many point of interest including gorges, coves, caves, historical buildings and museums that illustrate the history of this part of the Mediterranean and cyclist love the challenge of the varied terrain. Many come to have guided or unguided walks during the cooler months in the countryside or exploring the gorges and caves.
