About this property
Ideally located, Villa katerina with salted Heated pool,to explore West Crete!
Luxuriously appointed Villa Katerina is set in a quiet location in W. Crete, surrounded by stunning views of The White Mountains and sea.
Villa Katerina is provided with the special sign of the Greek Tourist Organization (EOT-1042K122K015040000) which secures the quality level of all services, terms and conditions our guests have the privilege to enjoy during their stay.
Every year we try to improve the facilities we offer to our visitors. Last years we made our pool salted, so we don't use chlorine or other chemicals. We also have new wooden Sunloungers with very comfortable mattresses and a lounge nest!!
Laze around your own beautiful private & secluded Eco chlorine-free 40 sqm heated Pool, listening to bird-song and enjoying the scent of fragrant flowers.
Overlooking your own private pool, and the sea, one of the bedrooms is on the ground floor and has a king size double bed and en-suite shower room with hydro massage.
The other two bedrooms are on the first floor. One of them has a double bed and en-suite bathroom with Jacuzzi bath. The other one has big double bed and an en-suite bathroom with Hydro Massage Shower.
From both upstairs bedrooms you step out onto a large veranda which overlooks the olive groves, the White Mountains and the sea.
On the ground floor there is an open plan living/dining room with a large couch for 6 persons, an easy chair and a big Lcd TV . DVD and CD played are also provided. There is also a fully equipped kitchen with oven, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine and all the necessary requirements for cooking a meal of your taste.
The interior of the Villa is air-conditioned for comfort on hot summer days.
For any chill days possibly early and late season, there is heating throughout the entire Villa plus a cozy fireplace in the living room. Outside the Villa, in a designated place you can find plenty of wood.
Enjoy the pleasures of the local taverns, or eat by your Pool on long, warm balmy evenings.
Whether you are looking for a totally relaxing, or a more adventurous holiday, you will find that Villa Katerina is the perfect base.
We brought even closer the nature to you and your table with more fruits and vegetables from our garden and fresh eggs from a new small hennery a few meters away from the Villa.. You can collect vegetables and eggs by yourself!!!
Welcome pack: A welcome pack will await you in the Villa, consisting of traditional fresh organic products.
A bottle of olive oil, raki, and local wine from Yianni, Katerina's husband's, own farm.
For you to enjoy leisurely breakfasts on your terrace overlooking the Pool, there is a breakfast pack consisting of bread, natural juices, eggs, bacon,fruits, cheese, honey and butter,upon your arrival. Ask me for extra eggs,oil,raki and honey during your stay!!
Bath & Pool towels,shampoo,shower gel,conditioner and hairdryer, are provided.
The Villa is cleaned twice a week which includes linen and towel (bath and pool) change.
Special Discounts : Big Discounts are provided for bookings of 3 weeks or more and for bookings of two persons !!!
