About this property
Gardenia Garden House with beautiful sea views, near the beach and the village.
Lovely bungalow garden house on private estate. Beautiful views, quiet and peaceful setting within the garden of the main house. Amazing views to Souda Bay, the White Mountains, Apokoronas, and the open sea.
The Garden House includes 1 double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with bathtub/shower, a living room with open kitchen, and a separate bathroom with WC and washing machine. TV with chrome cast (no channels).
There is a spacious terrace / outdoor living area including a dining area, a BBQ, a sofa and hammock, and an outdoor shower. The bungalow and its terrace is completely private (not visible to the estate’s other residents).
High quality bed linen and towels, duvets and pillows. Professional cleaning.
Prices quoted on this listing refer to 2 guests. An additional 2 guests can be accommodated on the sofa bed at a supplement. Rates include electricity and end cleaning.
Immediately above the bungalow is the property’s other guest house which sleeps 2. This house can be rented together with the bungalow thus accommodating a total of 6. For more information please see VRBO listing number 6556538 (Gardenia Guest House)
Access to the bungalow is by a private driveway leading from the property’s gated entrance. Parking for 1 car outside the property.
Located on the Akrotiri peninsula of Chania, on the outskirts of the village of Sternes. The lovely beaches of Loutraki and Marathi are only a short drive away, as is the quaint village of Sternes.
Preferred guests are couples or families wishing to enjoy peace and quiet, respectful of the estate’s owners’ proximity. Maximum occupancy is 4, with the possibility for a cot for child up to the age of 2. Music/noise and conversation generated from the guests or equipment that they are using in and around the bungalow should be kept to a respectable level in consideration of the owners and must be reduced to a minimum after 9 pm.
Location:
The pretty village of Sternes is located south of Chania International Airport (no air traffic above). The village includes 3 places to dine, a gyro/souvlaki café, a tavern, and a Kafenion (local café). There are 2 minimarkets providing basic groceries, fruit and vegetables, a bakery, and a pharmacy.
Approx. 3 km below Sternes are the sandy beaches of Loutraki and Marathi. Both have shallow, crystal-clear waters, are well protected from the northerly winds of July and August, and are favorites among both tourists and locals alike. There are 3 places to eat in Loutraki; a beach café, a grill-taverna, and another lunch tavern. Marathi has a slightly larger selection of restaurants, one of them, Patrelantonis, considered to be one of the best restaurants in Chania. Equally good but with fewer selections on its menu is the beach fish-café of Rokakis. Fishermen in the family assure fresh fish and seafood on a daily basis.
Distances:
2 km to the sandy beach of Loutraki with lunch café and 2 tavernas
3,2 km to the sandy beach of Marathi with 3 tavernas
1,5 km to nearest shop in the village of Sternes. Sternes also has a bakery, a pharmacy and 2 tavernas
7 km to the international airport of Chania
15 km to Chania, with its lovely old town and famous Venetian harbor

About the host
Hosted by Alexandra
I’m half Greek (from western Crete) and half Norwegian. I speak fluent English, Norwegian, and Greek, and have lived and worked on Crete for many years but reside in Norway. This amazingly beautiful island and its people always make me look forward to coming back. I am fortunate enough to be able to spend the entire summer working on Crete. I wish you a wonderful holiday and will do my utmost to make it so!
