About this property
Nice 2-bedroom bougainvillea cottage, 5km from the sea
Relax with your family or friends in the quiet, green living space we created in the hospitable and beautiful Cretan land, away from exhaust fumes and noise. Our cottage is just 5 km from the sea, while at the same time it faces the foothills of Psiloritis, the highest mountain in Crete, with the beautiful villages and the simplicity of the genuine Cretans who still keep the traditions they took from their ancestors.
*** The space : Our cottage is located at the entrance of the picturesque village of Achlades and is only a few kilometers from the seaside fishing villages of Panormo (5km) and Bali (12km) and is fully equipped with everything one needs to feel at home!! It includes two bedrooms, a single kitchen-living room, a toilet with bathtub, a separate small office space as well as two balconies. Each room has its own air conditioner, while two of them have a TV with a Netflix connection. The courtyard is quite large, 650sqm, full of flowers, bougainvilleas, greenery as well as a vine, with outdoor furniture under its shade, while fruit trees (oranges and lemons) give their own touch to the surrounding area of the back of the cottage leaving a beautiful scent during their flowering period. A few meters beyond the cottage, one can enjoy the delicacies of a Cretan tavern with delicious traditional food. Finally, in the village of Perama, 3km away, you will find everything you want from cafes, supermarkets, greengrocers with fresh vegetables and fruits, taverns, pharmacies, gym, hairdressers, banks, ATMs, etc.
*** We will always be available for anything you need!!
*** Guest access : Free access to the whole cottage.
Request: when you are not at home, turn off the lights and air conditioners (a possible power outage can ruin them).
In our time, when climate change is affecting the entire planet, we all must make an effort for a better tomorrow for future generations.
