About this property
Private two bedroom villa, just 750 metres from Plaka, pool, garden, great views
Our beautiful villa - your private getaway in Plaka. Just bring yourselves, everything else is waiting for you in our luxurious villa. Your own private pool, jacuzzi, lovely garden, barbecue area, private patios, all with glorious views. There is crisp fresh linen, cool marble floors and air conditioning in both bedrooms and wonderful views from the balconies across to Spinalonga, the sea and the mountains. You'll find everything you need for a fabulous holiday at Villa May, a fully equipped kitchen, airy living room, Wi-fi and a Smart t.v. of course, plus a PS3 for games and DVDs as well as books and board games. A fully loaded (with books and audio books) Kindle and iPad are waiting for you at the villa, just bring your own headphones for the iPad.
There are three cats who believe that they belong to the Villa. Apollo, Granny and Hera. Grandson, Granny and mother of Apollo. They are de flead, wormed and neutered and very friendly. If you see any others, they are complete chancers!
We are a short stroll away from Plaka, with its great tavernas and the wonderful beach. Visit beautiful Spinalonga, swim over the sunken town near the causeway in Elounda or hire a bike and ride to Elounda for a long, lazy lunch. Better still, pack the picnic basket and cool box and find your own secluded beach.
Set in its own grounds in an elevated position overlooking Spinalonga Island and just 750 metres easy walk from the delightful village of Plaka, Villa May has its own private swimming pool as well as a heated jacuzzi. Plaka, with its quaint old square, superb tavernas, lovely pebble beach beach and a supermarket, offers a peaceful contrast to the nearby harbour of Elounda and the popular resort of Agios Nikolaos a short drive away. The area is ideal for water based activities, biking, walking and sightseeing. The villa is set back from a quiet road with its own parking area. Just to reassure you, the plumbing is the northern European style, just like home. We are happy to discuss your requirements, please check the calendar for availability. Villa May is licensed by the Greek Tourist Authority (E.O.T) and complies with all required regulations. EOT MHTE1040K10003151701
