About this property

Jasmine villa is situated in our large landscaped gardens close to the pool

Jasmine is one of our three beautiful villas set in our spacious landscaped gardens which have been carefully chosen for their beautiful flowers and foliage, allowing for a private experience, with mature trees providing shade from the sun.

Our emerald green lawns give the opportunity to lay back and sunbath around the pool, or play a few lawn games.

The pool is a massive 20 meters by 10 meters, perfect for relaxing in or for the serious swimmer to get some lengths in. The pool is situated 50 meters from the villa and shared with the other 2 villas. Available 24hrs a day.

The villa has two bedrooms, one large double and an even bigger triple, with the option of adding an extra single bed. There is a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. Space to sit inside and eat or enjoy our outside patio area with gas BBQ for alfresco dinning.

We have a gated private parking spot for each villa. Guests are very welcome to enjoy our various gardens at any time to relax and enjoy the Cretan flowers and wildlife in perfect tranquility.

Our village is located at the foot of the mountain Malaxa, and has the feel of a traditional Greek village, yet only 4km from Chania. There are two local mini markets a chemist and a coffee shop. There is also a traditional taverna serving food and drink.

Meltemaki beach is 2km away it is a beautiful sandy beach popular with the locals. There is a fish taverna, perfect for experiencing authentic Mediterranean seafood.

There is a village bus stop 30 meters from the entrance to the car park, and a bus stop 1km away on the main road from Souda to Chania, buses run every 20 minutes from there and three times a day from the village bus stop.
Taxis from the center of Chania back to Crete retreat are around 8 euro.

Crete retreat is a family run business and we live on site so are available if needed. We are animal lovers with dogs, cats, chickens and parakeets kept within our own premises. Guests are welcome to arrange a visit.

In our opinion Crete Retreat is a perfect environment for people who wish to explore and enjoy Crete, from a beautiful and unique oasis.

Villa Jasmine

Wir haben ein paar schöne Tage in der Villa Jasmine verbracht. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Nur das Wetter hätte schöner sein können. Es hat fast jeden Tag geregnet, so dass wir den schönen Pool nicht nutzen könnten. Vielen Dank an Rob und Ian.

Séjour agréable dans la région de Chania

Nous avons passé une semaine dans la maison Jasmine en juillet 2019. La maison est située à 15 minutes en voiture de Chania (la Canée) qui est une ville magnifique et a 10 minutes de plusieurs plages très agréables. La maison est grande et propre. D un cote de la maison il y a le salon, la cuisine, une chambre et une salle de douche avec wc. De l autre côté il y a une autre chambre avec une salle de douche/wc également. Les 2 parties de la maison ne communiquent pas, il faut sortir et traverser la terrasse pour rentrer de l autre côté. C est parfait pour 2 familles qui loueraient la maison ensemble pour que chacun ai son espace, ou alors pour une famille avec des grands enfants qui sont déjà un peu indépendants. Nous avions 2 enfants en bas âge, et du coup nous avons tous dormi dans la même chambre car nous n etions pas tranquilles qu elles soient si loin, nous avions peur de ne pas les entendre en cas de problème. La maison est très bien équipée, il manquerait juste peut-être un micro-ondes qui serait bien pratique. Les points forts : - la maison fait partie d une propriété de 3 maisons, mais elles sont bien espacées. Il n y a aucun vis à vis et on n entend pas du tout les voisins même s ils sont sur leur terrasse - la piscine est très grande et l espace autour est très verdoyant et agréable - chaque maison a son barbecue sur sa terrasse et sa place de parking à l interieur de la propriété. - le propriétaire (Ian) est tres gentil et disponible, et accommodant sur les horaires d arrivée et de départ Quelques points à améliorer : - la maison mériterait quelques petits travaux d entretien (ex le porte rouleau de papier wc ou les crochets pour accrocher les torchons qui vous restent dans la main car ils sont mal fixés dans le mur, les serrures des baies vitrées qui ferment mal...) - les stores sur les fenêtres dans les chambres ne filtrent que très peu la lumière. A 6h du matin il faisait plein jour dans les chambres, surtout celle avec les lits individuels, impossible de faire entendre à nos 2 petites qu il était trop tôt et qu il fallait continuer a dormir... au moins nous étions prêts de bonne heure pour explorer la région, mais ce n est pas très reposant. Cependant dans l ensemble, nous avons passé un bon séjour dans cette maison et la recommandons.

Nice lodging near Chania

Convenient lodging with a large pool. Within walking distance of Souda with supermarket, ATM and a Baker. It's easy to get around in the area by bus and it's a good starting point for excursions. Very nice and helpful landlord.

About the host

Hosted by Mr Ian Johnson

Eighteen years ago we finally realized our long held dream and set off from England to our new life on the warm and sunny island of Crete. We had already purchased a plot of land with a house and one acre of orange trees and olive trees.

In the time honoured fashion of the island it took over a year to overcome the paperwork and legalities connected with our purchase but then we were able to start our huge project.

The gardens and villas slowly took shape, each year bringing exciting changes as the trees and plants matured. The result is now three villas set in beautiful gardens. Having been to Greece on previous occasions we wanted to make the accommodation spacious. A large bathroom was a must and raised sun terraces were top priority. We wanted to create individual privacy without being isolated and a pool that you could really swim in.

Why they chose this property

Crete Retreat is a unique and huge landscaped garden with mature shady trees, green lawns, exotic plants and an extra large 24/7 swimming pool.
A perfect environment for people who wish to enjoy Crete, the fresh air, the sun, the shade, the food, the wine all made complete with a large barbeque for a perfect evening meal.
Our pet cats and dogs live together in harmony, a memorable experience especially for children.
Here, Mums and Dads have a great opportunity to relax together or find space, peace and quiet knowing that their family are in a safe enclosed environment.
Our location makes it easy to explore the important historical sites dotted around, try Aptera, ten minutes along the motorway, which is an ancient Roman settlement covering several acres. We are also positioned on 42nd street, the site of the battle of Crete which is marked by a plaque and information.
