Almirida Bay, near Chania

CLOSE TO BEACH AND VILLAGE LIFE - PRICES FROM £390 WEEK (500 euro)

Three detached villas to choose from located between 2 neighbouring villages, yet close to both so you can easily enjoy their facilities. It is the ideal location if you value your privacy yet wish to be conveniently within a few minutes from restaurants, bars, beach and minimarkets. Our villas are surrounded by mature olive trees in several acres of land, gated and fenced to ensure your privacy. Unlike some holiday villas in the West Crete, which are often built uncomfortably close together, you cannot be overlooked because there are at least 60 metres of gardens separating each house.

Just 3 minutes away by car is Almirida Bay for safe, sandy beaches, watersports, seafront shops and a dozen good restaurants. In the other direction, the traditional village of Gavalochori is a pleasant 10 minute walk, where you will find 3 tavernas, several bars, a coffee-house (open until late at night for delicious cakes and pastries), 2 mini-markets, a women's co-operative (for hand-made goods) and historic Roman Wells. The rolling wooded hillside where we are situated is recognised as among the most beautiful in Crete - especially in April & May when wildflowers are in bloom.

All bedrooms have balconies, with spectacular and uninterrupted open views of the surrounding valleys, mountains and some have sea views. The pools are surrounded by large sun terraces of at least 100 square metres so you have ample space to dine, relax and swim in comfort.

Parents! Our pools are fenced and gated to help you control access to the water, assisting the safety of toddlers and young children. As far as we are aware, no other villas in the area have similar safety features!

ALL VILLAS WHEELCHAIR FRIENDLY with a bathroom/bedroom on ground floor. 3 steps maximum from patio to pool.
