LICENCIE PAR L'OFFICE DU TOURISME GREC MHTE 1354-13-0250
Entièrement climatisé partout sans frais supplémentaires. Barbecue privé. Chemin privé propre / imposantes portes. Plomberie britannique! (pas de tuyaux WC de petit calibre!).
NOTE IMPORTANTE AUX PARENTS AVEC LES PETITS ENFANTS! Cette villa dispose d'une cuisine en bas, qui donne directement sur la piscine fermée. Cela signifie que vous pouvez voir vos enfants jouer dans la piscine pendant que vous préparez le déjeuner! Beaucoup d'autres villas dans la région n'a pas été conçu avec les vacanciers comme vous à l'esprit parce qu'ils ont un étage (style grec) de cuisine qui signifie que vous pourriez avoir à équilibrer un repas et une boisson sur un plateau tout en marchant dans un escalier avec un enfant en bas âge qui suit derrière vous ou sous vos pieds! Nous avons conçu cette fonctionnalité AVANT les maisons ont été construites - vous n'êtes pas après coup!
Près de la villa sont deux villages. Almyrida, près de la plage, se trouve à seulement 3 minutes en voiture ou vous pouvez aller à pied en une demi-heure. Gavalochori, plus à l'intérieur, se trouve à seulement 1 minute de route et vous pouvez y aller à pied en moins de 15 minutes.(Nous marchons en 12 minutes).
Nos clients disent souvent que cette villa est l'endroit idéal: à quelques minutes de marche des deux villages, assez proche pour profiter de leurs installations, mais pas trop près d'être perturbé par les aboiements des chiens, cocorico coqs et la vie nocturne humaine bruyante qui se passe dans tout et chaque village ou ville crétoise.
La villa est située dans un domaine privé oliveraie paisible de 4. 5 acres (17.000 mètres carrés). Il est l'un de seulement 5 villas dans l'oliveraie, qui sont toutes détenues par nous. L'oliveraie est sécurisé, étant clôturé et couvert par des lauriers roses coloré, et entouré d'oliviers. Il est le point de départ idéal pour explorer la région pittoresque Apokoronas à pied ou en voiture, avec ses petits villages blancs nichés à flanc de montagne verts. Apokoronas est une zone désignée de beauté naturelle, protégée d'une manière semblable à un parc national au Royaume-Uni. En tout temps il y a des vues à couper le souffle sur les montagnes blanches qui sont enneigés jusqu'à la fin mai. Littéralement à votre porte il y a de nombreux pieds-sentiers à travers cette région la plus spectaculaire de la Crète, un véritable paradis pour les marcheurs.
La piscine a des marches en pierre dans la piscine. Cela signifie de petits enfants et les personnes ayant des problèmes de mobilité peuvent entrer dans la piscine sans aide. Il est un endroit très sociable pour asseoir et discuter à la fin d'une journée ensoleillée avec un verre de vin! PISCINE PROFONDEUR est une constante 1. 25 mètres, ne comprenant pas marcher dans les étapes. Largeur est 4. 5 mètres, la longueur est 8. 5 mètres

Villa Angelos
Beautiful villa with spacious terrace and pool area. Very clean and well maintained by friendly staff. Perfect location away from the hustle and bustle of Almyrida, but close enough for shopping, tavernas and bars.
The nearby village of Gavalochori has a fantastic taverna - Arismari - with home cooked food and friendly people in a beautiful setting. We avoided the busy Samaria Gorge and opted, on advice, for nearby Imros Gorge instead. This trip into the White Mountains was the highlight of our holiday. Rethymno is a lovely town and Limonokipos Taverna (The Lemon Garden)is a cool haven for a delicious lunch.
We would definitely recommend this villa and hope to return on day

A very good call regarding Imros Gorge. It is a fantastic walk and much quieter than Samaria. I would recommend walking up and having a well earned Skafian Pie (pancake, honey and soft cheese) at the cafe terrace with glorious views at the top

Lovely private secluded villa. Ideal for a family holid at.
We have just spent a lovely relaxed week staying at the Villa Angelos.
The photos don't do this villa justice. It is a beautiful villa, secluded and private. It was spacious and well fitted out with everything you need for a holiday. We have never had a villa holiday before and we were very impressed.
It is secluded though so if you are looking for a lively holiday this is not the villa for you. If you want peace & quiet with only the sounds of crickets, birds & goat's then I can recommend Villa Angelos.
We walked to the nearest village in the morning for fresh bread and pastries - it's about a 15 min walk there & is a lovely Greek village with a fantastic restaurant. The seaside town of Almyrida is a little future but easily walkable. There is a big choice of restaurants all with a superb sea view. Take a torch if you want to walk at night - there are no street lights on the road to the villa.
All in all - a perfect holiday which I have no hesitating in recommending.

Wonderful holiday
Just returned from a fantastic holiday staying at Villa Angelos. The villa is set in a rural setting with the most amazing views, just breathtaking. We loved getting up in the morning and going for the most amazing walks for 2 to 3 hours and then back for breakfast and a dip in the pool. We then went off exploring in our car (great value and car hire recommended by John), the roads were really quiet and we had no problem navigating our way through the different villages in the region and finding a taverna for lunch. We would absolutely recommend hiring a car as even the nearest village which was only a 10 to 12 min walk away you would probably not to walk back in the dark even with a torch. However you could use a local taxi (cards left in the villa) which is only 10 Euros. The nearest resort is only a 30 min walk or 3 min drive away, its very traditional and had a lovely little beach and clear blue waters. There are about 20/30 tavernas and a few shops & supermarkets. I think it would have been too quiet if I had taken my teenage children but we were a group of 4 adults and had a fantastic time.

Villa Angelos ,Quiet and peaceful location, but near to all amenities of Almirida and Gavalahori
After returning to Villa Angelos for a second time. we we're pleasantly surprised to see the pool had been updated and was now tiled with steps down into the water. there's not quite enough sunbeds and umbrellas if you were a party of eight.. but i'm sure extras could be asked for as Mark the manger is very obliging. The terrace is well furnished with a huge table chairs,enough to seat 8 people comfortably,there is also a rattan sofa and chair ,its ideal to sit there to escape from the heat of the sun! also a large BBQ sits across the the corner of the patio if you feel inclined to use it !!!
Inside the villa is also well furnished with two leather sofas a coffee table and a side table,a small TV is mounted on the wall along with disc player and satellite box, another table and chairs for indoor dining .it has good lighting with fans attached a breakfast bar separates the lounge from the kitchen ..which is on the small side but very well equipped with everything you could wish for and all of good quality,from cutlery to china and pots and pans, downstairs shower room with a wash machine and double bedroom , suitable for the elderly or disabled with access directly onto the terrace.
Upstairs there are three further bedrooms ,1 master double bed & 2 with twin beds, a bathroom with shower & bath.... the bed linen is of a superior quality cotton, also the towels.. no complaints there.
Almyrida is not far away 5 mins in a car or a steady walk down takes about 25 mins,You must have a stroll to the village of Gavalahori Its about 15 mins walk its a typical Cretan working village ,there are good taverna's here and the food is very good in all of them.I would definitely recommend Angelos it is the best Villa we have stayed in.The Villa is an ideal base for exploring the island 20 mins to the main highway and the island of Crete is yours..
All in All the Villa Angelos is well situated,nestled in the olive grove, its peaceful, with wonderful views of the white mountains and the surrounding foothills.. its well presented inside and out ... lots of traditional villages short drives away and of.course the beautiful Venetian Port of Chania , with its picturesque streets and nooks and cranny,s is well worth a visit ...
Mr & Mrs G Turner Stayed 5th to 19th July 2016 (and enjoyed every minute)
Thanks to John,Marcus,and Mark for all your help and invaluable information,roll on next year.

Très agréable séjour à la Villa Angelos

Très bonne situation pour visiter toute la zone nord ouest de l’île et même aller dans le sud car les distances sont assez courtes.
Très belle terrasse pour prendre l’apéro et dîner.
Très bonne sécurité autour de la piscine.
Le tout, bercé par le chant des cigales.

We had lovely holidays at Villa Angelos.
Very good situation to visit west north, include South of the island because the distances are very shorts.
Very nice terrace to have a drink or to have dinner.
Good protection around the swimming pool.
Everything was good with the help of John.
Many thanks for these nice holidays.

Thanks for your review Brenda. For 2020, we will have fitted a dishwasher! As a guide, kitchens in villas in Crete are typically on the small side to maximise the available living space as we are limited by planning regulations. As you know, the kitchen in Villa Angelos is open plan to be sociable with the living room area and there is plenty of space on the island unit for prepping food.

Hi Lone. I have to disagree with your comment about our villa not being walking distance to the sea or the village and our other guests will agree with me. It takes less than 15 minutes to walk to the centre of the village of Gavalochory (Monica's Taverna) and about half an hour to 35 minutes to Almyrida! From your villa to the Dimitra Hotel in Almyrida is your villa is precisely 2 km away!

A peaceful and tranquil place to stay
This is our second visit to Villa Angelos. The villa is large, spacious and very well equipped, peaceful and tranquil with wonderful views of the mountains. Driving and arrival instructions are very clear and accurate. The villa and outside areas were very clean and there are an excellent number of pots and pans, sharp knives, plastic glasses and cups for round the pool, all of which very few places provide. We again had a wonderful holiday and this time we did some exploring. Kalyves is nearby with wonderful beaches and Almridya is just a short drive away. For us the pool is all important and this pool is brilliant; warm, with easy access and so clean. We loved the outside areas, the views, the tranquility and space around the villa. The villa has shaded areas as well as providing sun umbrellas. We loved the new cover over the terrace which provided deep shade!
We again shopped at the Pear Tree, in Almiryda, which offers good quality, fresh local produce with a brilliant bread shop just nearby. We ate out at Monica’s in Gavalochori, which served really good, freshly prepared food under the trees and would recommend a visit. We also found a taverna in Almiryda which was also excellent. It is the last one on the left, past the Pear Tree, as you leave going towards Chania. We could not discover a name but the menu, although limited, comprises freshly cooked, delicious food. No sea view but we were happy to forgo that in return for such good food and a lovely atmosphere.
Our perfect place and we look forward to returning!

Welcoming, well equipped villa in a great location
We have returned four times to this little group of villas, and Angelos is a favorite. You can trust the owners' descriptions: it is exactly as described, if not better. Clean, well-maintained with improvements every year, these villas are ideal for a relaxing break. You're not overlooked, and in a lovely location. The nearest village has two great tavernas, a bakery and a little supermarket. Almyrida has a wealth of sea front eateries and a safe and inviting beach. AutoClub do reasonable car hire rates and Crete is an island you'll never tire of.

Excellent Villa
Just returned from the fantastic Villa Angelos nr Almyrida. All we can say is it is Home from home providing all amenities. There is a great pool with spacious surrounding area. Rooms lovely and clean, beds comfy & Aircon in each roof with ceiling fans also. We found just having ceiling fans on through the night enough so didn't need Aircon on . It is a 20-25 minutes stroll to Almyrida. Taxi available back to the villa costing 6-8 euros. Lots lovely restaurants on sea front. Few cafes where can get lunch. The village of Gavalochori is a 10-15 minutes walk where you will find handful tavernas serving great food with a bakery and small supermarket. Easy walk too.
Almyrida is lovely with plenty of places to eat & drink and few shops. There is a bus to Chania which takes around 20 mins costing 6 euros return.
Can't fault villa and would recommend to anyone.

It was lovely villa, lots of out door space and close to local amenities.
Excellent position, lovely area and close enough to main roads to go off exploring. The villa was well equipped, with plenty of crockery and cutlery, even down to a knife sharpener, woohoo. It was clean and well presented and even the bed was comfortable.
For us, the main concern was the limited 2hour on the air conditioning units, during the day no problem, but at night, one of us had to get up several times during the night to re start the timer, so we never got a full nights sleep. We did relay this back, as maybe the unit wasn't working to its fullest potential, some adjustments were made, but it didn't make any difference.

Hello Frances and thank you for your comments. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay and I will take a moment to address you comments on the aircon. First of all, as you know, each bedroom besides an airconditioning unit also has a powerful ceiling fan. These fans are not on timers, and provide a variable speed cooling downdraft which 95% of our customers are happy with even in the hottest months. We introduced the aircon timers as part of our responsible eco-friendly philosophy. You can use the aircon units at night as long as you wish, there is no restriction on how many times you can operate them. Most people set the aircon before they go to sleep and use the fans on full power overnight which then recirculates the cool air. This has the advantage of avoiding the big problem with airconditioning i.e. waking up suffering from an uncomfortably dry nose and throat - this is a common complaint if the aircon is used without a break overnight (you will find some holiday establishments in Greece will shut off the aircon entirely in the early hours and you have no control whatsoever - unlike ours). Also, you don't need to keep the doors closed in your bedroom - the large upstairs window at the top of the stairs has a slide opening with mosquito net and if you open this fully while locking back your bedroom door (using the hook & eye latch provided) there will be a cooling through draft from the ceiling fan to the window, even if the aircon is turned off. Our mix of aircon and ceiling fans works for 95 % of our customers, the majority of whom return year after year."

Perfect family villa, very private & great accommodation.
We recently stayed here with our 3 year old. Gorgeous Villa, impeccably clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend for families. A 2 minute drive to the beach - we never walked as the hill is fairly steep, however, it is walkable. The Tavernas are all good and the people so friendly. We did not have one bad meal! The beach is very clean with shallow waters - perfect for little ones.
As I mentioned - the accommodation was pristine. Fully functioning kitchen, and washing machine which came in handy! It would be great to have more plastic ware for around the pool and for little ones. Regarding the pool - which is beautiful and gated for safety (really important point so those toddlers don't toddle off by themselves!) The area around the pool gets very very slippery. There are signs saying take care but as the pool has a raised surround (which isn't slippery) once you step off you need to be very careful! Textured tiles would have made it a 5/5!
Great family holiday but a definite watch out around the beautiful pool.

Thanks for the lovely review. The pool was brand new last year (!) though the surrounding outdoor patio tiles are from when the house was originally built. We chose these tiles ourselves and they are standard issue around many pools in other villas, designed to be used around wet areas so are designed to have non-slip characteristics. However, as with any pool, it is important not to run, though having had children of our own at the same age as yours, we do understand it can be difficult at times! This is why we designed all our pools with gates - perfect for promoting child safety. Our other pool at Villa Selene nearby has natural stone paving around the pool and this may be more suited to your next visit. See property 8049260.

Lovely villa
We had our second lovely stay here. The villa's setting is tranquil and beautiful, but amenities including some excellent restaurants are not far away in the beach resort of Almirida and the lovely old village of Gavalachori. We divided our time between relaxing at the villa reading books and exploring in the car. It's easy to get up into the mountains from here, roads are empty and the scenery stunning!
The villa is kept clean and has excellent facilities and the owners are friendly and respond positively to any suggestions. Would recommend and would stay here again.

We agree that the location of the villa is just about as perfect as you can get - a short 15 minute walk from the lovely traditional village of Gavalochory where you can get a loaf of fresh bread from the bakery every day for under a euro, and just 3 minutes drive to the beach, bars and restaurants at Almyrida. There is an excellent restaurant up in the mountains at Dracona - video and directions are on our Facebook page (just search for 'Saint Basil Olive Grove') with live Cretan music every Saturday lunchtime. Next time you visit, you'll see we have added lot of colour around the outside of the house with decorated and painted 'found' objects from around the olive grove - 'countryside art' at its best!

An enjoyable stay at Villa Angelos.
We found the property to be essentially as described in the listing and the quiet location was what attracted us. The villa was clean, well presented and the property managers very helpful. For me the outstanding feature is the pool and the view of the snow covered mountains; I also enjoyed walks to the nearby village of Gavalohori for refreshments!

Thanks for your kind words. We are pleased you have discovered the joys of our olive grove and the great pool and views. Because it is a tiled concrete pool with thick construction walls, it seems to retain the heat and stays warmer than plastic lined pools. You will also have noticed the very individual 'olive grove art' which decorates the porch made of natural items we have found in the olive grove and painted bright colours! Hopefully you will return and see how we have progressed!

A perfect spot to holiday
This villa is exactly as pictured but this does not convey the ambience and the peace and quiet. The property was in excellent order when we arrived and the managers popped round to check all was well. We also met the owner which was a bonus. This villa offers a great range of kitchen equipment for self catering and is the only villa we have stayed in that had a range of very sharp knives. The private pool and terrace was a real bonus and was spotless. The information on their website and in the villa was really helpful. The beach at Almirida with its bars and and restaurants is very near and easily accessible. Don't miss the Pear tree which provides excellent fresh food. The instructions for travel and finding the villa were spot on. Our thanks to all for a lovely holiday!

The views of the mountains are truly spectacular. The peace and quiet of the olive grove. It's nice to be near village life, but not too close!
