ヴィラアニー-ラグジュアリーアーキテクトデザインヴィラ

My husband and I are origianlly from just outside Manchester, UK - "the Rainy City" - the move to the Apokoronas area of Western Crete was not a difficult decision. We offer Villa Annie to guests during the summer, then move back in late autumn to early spring. We manage all the villa services ourselves - it's hard work but it's the only way to guarantee the highest of standards. We meet and greet all our guests personally and make great efforts to ensure they have all the information they require on the local area, its amenities and attractions - it's not just a printed letter and a bunch of leaflets...Villa Annie was never conceived or designed as a money-making project, it's a beautifully designed and decorated family home in a stunning location and it gives us a real kick when our guests feel the same way (as you will see from our reviews).

Villa Annie is located at the centre of what is often referred to as the 'golden triangle" - the area between Kalives, Almyrida and Vamos. It's an iconic location famous for its green and luscious countryside (irrigated by the Kiliaris river - the only river in Crete to flow 12 months a year) and its spectacular juxtaposition between the majestic White Mountains, rising in the south to over 8000 ft and the seemingly endless blue of Souda Bay to the north. You are never more than a 6 minute drive from any of the main beach resorts or tourist villages and around a 30 minute drive from the Venetian Old Town of Chania. We decided to build Villa Annie where it stands today because it's like no other location on earth we have ever seen.

Villa Annie was designed, first and foremost, as a family home, rather than a "holiday rental property". The aesthetics and quality of fixtures, fittings and furniture, inside and out, have not been compromised by a focus on quick or cheap replacement costs. Outside, between the cream of the stonework and the blue of the sea lies the glorious green of the extensive lawns and gardens - again an unusual luxury in Crete given the harsh climate and associated maintenance expense. Location, location, location...whilst only 6 minutes drive to the buzz of the local beach resorts, Villa Annie is one of only a handful of local properties in the area offering an oasis of privacy, peace and quiet, with no other overlooking properties in sight.
