About this property

Lovely family villa with stunning sea views, private pool, games room & wi-fi

This lovely hillside villa with stunning sea-facing views is on the edge of the popular village of Plaka with a good choice of tavernas and supermarkets in easy strolling distance. It is a short walk downhill to the beach at Almyrida with its lively water sports centre and even more tavernas, bars, shops and hotels.

The villa sleeps six comfortably and the basement games room, can if required, be made up with a further two single beds for a small additional charge.

Sea breezes provide welcome relief from the heat and mosquito screens on all the windows and patio doors provide protection from insects whilst allowing the air to circulate. Powerful ceiling and wall fans in the bedrooms and living area keep the villa cool.

On the ground floor there is a large open-plan living/dining area with a terrace overlooking the patio and pool. The well equipped kitchen includes a large fridge, washing machine and dish-washer.

There is a downstairs bedroom with double bed & large shower room with toilet and basin. The accommodation upstairs comprises master bedroom with double bed and guest bedroom with two single beds. The bathroom has an attractive corner bath, large shower, basin and toilet. The basement doubles as a 4th bedroom with a sofa that converts to two single beds.

There is also a table tennis table, TV, and well stocked bookshelves.

There is parking on the private drive. The fruit trees and plants in the large garden plot below attract a variety of birds and beyond that is forestry land.

Regular pool cleaning and maintenance is included in the rental. The pool is just under 10 metres in length and great for keeping fit as well as keeping cool.

Car hire, including airport pick-up, can be easily arranged with local companies based in Almyrida.

The courtyard area provides a shady retreat and houses the purpose built outdoor BBQ.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Amanda Aviss

Host profile image
We love to travel and now that we are fortunate to be retired we fit in lots of trips all over the world but agree that there is nowhere that beats Crete for value and beauty.

Why they chose this property

We used to have a second home in France but decided to swap it for Crete because the weather is so much better. When we first built in 2002 our kids were still at school and this was the ideal family destination as there is so much to do in the surrounding area. Now they have grown up they still enjoy holidays here and like us never seem to bore of this beautiful part of the world.

What makes this property unique

The stand-out benefit of this villa is its location in the most attractive part of Crete. It is a quick drive from Chania so no time wasted on a long transfer from airport to holiday home. It is great to be able to enjoy the beautiful views of the sea and countryside whilst being only a short stroll from all the facilities of Plaka and Almyrida. You can throw away the car keys at night-time and work your way through the many tavernas and cafes in easy reach without having to worry about driving. If you want to go further afield you will be spoilt for choice.
