About this property

Villa Vangelis

Stone house with private salt water pool and shady dining area which sits alone, on the hillside above Stylos with far reaching sea and mountain views from the Aptera Fortress to Cape Drapanos. Inside, traditional stone and wood has been given a light decorative touch and with the addition of a modern sofa and good quality beds Villa Vangelis is now a comfortable holiday Villa, just perfect for two or a family of four.

Location Stylos
The village of Stylos is just over 2 kms downhill, where there are two mini markets selling basic provisions as well as several very authentic Cretan tavernas (we ate the most delicious hortarina kaltisounia, the little pies filled with mountain greens, at the Faraggi Taverna).
Enroute to the beach side village of Kalyves , an approx. 10mins drive, the road passes though village of Armeni where there are few more tavernas, a little shop that sells fresh cheese and meat plus a baker who delivers to the cafeneon in the square.

Parking - There is ample parking.

Note - If guests at Villa Vangelis are fortunate enough to be staying during one of the infrequent occasions when the Dimitra Kentro (a wedding and baptism venue on the opposite side of the valley) is hosting a celebration, they will be extended a warm invitation to take a table, enjoy a meal and join in the festivities - a rare opportunity to experience some famous Cretan hospitality with music and the locals 'kicking up their heels'. Greek celebrations often continue into the early hours but any sounds drifting across the valley to the Villa can be firmly kept out with closed windows and air con running.

About the area

Samonas

Located in Apokoronas, this villa is in a rural area. Port of Souda and Old Venetian Harbor are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those in the mood for shopping can visit Chania Central Market. Art of Living Glass Factory and Maritime Museum of Crete are also worth visiting.

Fabulous out of the way villa
Villa Vangelis sits on its own among the olive groves, you look down on to the plain and all you can hear are the goat bells. This is a well equipped villa, with all you could want and an excellent pool area. Yes it is out of the way up a narrow bumpy road, and that's why we like it. Stylos nearby has tavernas, coffee shops and a mini market.

our stay at villa vangelis
the view, the tranquility, the greenery surrounding the house the bad road was a test for my vehicle which is lower and it was not a pleasant experience to pass it more than a few times a day, problem finding the cottage. Down in the village itself there should be a signpost.

Superb Villa
The villa is in a beautiful location with a stunning view. It is extremely well equipped. The air con is modern and very effective. The pools is just amazing. Lots of outdoor space to enjoy with multiple seating areas. We received a welcome pack of food/drinks that was really useful as we arrived quite late. The housekeeping, pool cleaning etc. was superb. The supply of things like dishwasher tablets, washing capsules, washing up liquid, toilet rolls, was very welcome, not the sort of things you want to buy on holiday. The communication and support from both freelance and the villa owners has been exemplary. I have and would recommend Freelance villas to others. The app was extremely useful. All in all a very relaxing holiday. Not a complaint, but be aware that the villa is approached on a very rough track. I would recommend getting full car insurance in case of damage. I think it would be hard to improve this excellent villa

Amazing Villa - Totally Private and the Views are amazing
We really loved the outside space at Villa Vangelis. Photos can't really do it justice. You have the mountains, the sea and wildlife. It's a fantastic place to stay for a couple or young family. I would add that you definitely need a car (the village is a half hour walk) and get a car that doesn't mind a few bumps in the road (the road up to the Villa is bumpy). This will make your stay more enjoyable. Will definitely go back.
