Tucked away at the end of a country track and surrounded by a pastoral landscape of rivers, fields, and olive and citrus groves, with the magnificent White Mountains serving as a stunning backdrop, Villa Adelphi has to be a dream retreat for nature lovers and anyone who likes to escape from the crowds. This secluded location, however, belies the fact that Villa Adelphi is just a short drive from the foothills of the mountains, the national road, and the popular coastal villages of Kalives and Almyrida that are well known for their beautiful, family-friendly sandy beaches, small fishing harbours, numerous shops and tavernas, and good choice of activities including water-sports. Even closer to Villa Adelphi, at only 1.5kms flat walk, the nearest tavernas and mini markets are conveniently located in the laid back farming villages of Armeni and Neo Horio. During the summer months the usual gentle pace does change at night in one of Armeni’s riverside tavernas when things come alive with the sound of live music and energetic traditional Cretan dancing. Villa Adelphi is a wonderful choice for a stress-free island holiday. Kitted out with every modern amenity including WIFI (up to a maximum of 9GB's per week), a fully equipped kitchen, modern tiled bathrooms, a washing machine, a DVD player, TV, air conditioning throughout, and pool towels. For the cooler nights early and late season, the A/C units can also be used as heaters, and there is central heating but oil is not included in the rental price. All of the rooms have white aluminium doors, windows and shutters, and there is solar powered hot water and a back-up immersion heater. The English owners have sympathetically chosen decor and furnishings that are both comfortable and colourful in order to create a cheerful and informal ambience which is ideal for a holiday home. Sets of double French doors open out from the downstairs living room and kitchen/dining room onto garden patios made from local stone, and from the upstairs bedrooms onto a spacious sun terrace which takes prime position overlooking the large garden, the pool terrace, and acres of countryside to the majestic mountains. There is no better place to sit back and enjoy a lazy breakfast or an early evening cocktail whilst taking in the sweeping rural view. Outside there is an abundance of space to spread out. Adults can relax and unwind in peace whilst children can safely play in the electric-gated grounds. In spring and early summer the glorious scent of orange blossom fills the air, and guests can help themselves to the delicious fresh fruit from the villas’ 23 orange trees. In addition to the fruit trees, the front and side gardens have been planted with a multitude of typically Mediterranean bushes and flowers including yucca, Hottentot Fig, geraniums, wild garlic, hibiscus, and cacti, which can all be easily admired from the raised pool terrace and the adjacent, shaded dining terrace. There is one villa immediately to rear of Villa Adelphi but this does not overlook the front terraces or the pool so privacy is therefore good. The kidney shaped pool is bound to be the focal point of holiday enjoyment and family fun. Your biggest dilemma will perhaps be whether to top up your tan on a comfortable sun-bed, cool off in the crystal clear water, play in the pool with your happy children, or just relax with a good book and the gentle sound of the leaves on the poolside trees rustling in the breeze. Whilst you might not want to leave this serene setting, ramblers and and cyclists will be spoilt for choice when choosing from the network of rural tracks and ancient donkey paths (known as “kalderimi”) that criss-cross the valley surrounding Villa Adelphi. Nothing refreshes the spirit like a leisurely walk across the incredible Cretan countryside, through fragrant olive and orange groves, past historical sites, along clear mountain streams, and under giant platanos trees. A memorable time, with many photo opportunities will be had by all, and why not take a delicious picnic lunch made from delicious locally grown organic products to quench your thirst and your appetite.

The Climate Resilience Levy is a response to the devastating forest fires and floods that Greece has experienced in recent years, with the government hoping to generate extra funding that will go towards financing reconstruction, supporting victims, and increasing the country’s defences against future natural disasters. The owners of all short-term rental accommodation are legally obliged to collect the Climate Resilience Levy as a separate tax for all overnight stays (per villa) as follows: €10.00 per night on stays between March 01 and October 31, and €4.00 per night on stays between November 01 and February 28/29. The Vrbo system does not yet have a section for collecting the Climate Resilience Levy and we have, therefore, had to add it to the billing section as an extra fee which will show on the booking as a Host Fee (until Vrbo update their system). Whilst we understand the potential budget concerns of our guests, this tax/levy is beyond our control and we encourage our guests to see this as a way of contributing to the protection of the planet and the beautiful area where they are holidaying. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Outdoor shower - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Terrace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the sea ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 969 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74450000/74441700/74441680/d78c9731.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 bedroom villa with private pool Παλαιλώνι - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi 8.8 Excellent 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=74441680&PinnedHotelID=74441680&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36980000/36977600/36977574/e334ebad.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cosy Traditional Villa - Private Pool - Perfect for families with children Χανια - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi 7.4 Good 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=36977574&PinnedHotelID=36977574&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33600000/33592300/33592286/f55e9d85.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lovely villa with 40m2 pool with Roman steps and panoramic sea views Chania - Sea view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 9.6 Exceptional 16 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=33592286&PinnedHotelID=33592286&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74440000/74434400/74434306/2c9c9d54.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 bedroom villa common pool Παλαιλώνι - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi 8.8 Excellent 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=74434306&PinnedHotelID=74434306&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/25000000/24300000/24292700/24292654/91c6d4b1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Relaxing stunning villa, wonderful views , large pool, short walk to village.

The location is a little isolated so a car is definitely needed, and with it being so hot walking to village wasn’t a good idea! Armenoi is a few mins drive away, Kiosky is a lovely little coffee shop with gorgeous treats. Kalyves has a lovely beach, 10 mins drive with beach bars and restaurants. For some really big waves, we headed to Episkopi beach. Lake Kournas is worth a visit too (but go early). The pool was a welcome relief from the very hot sun! As a family of 4, with 2 teenage girls we had a lovely time. ##### James C.

The pool and garden was thoroughly enjoyed by us all. The house was well equipped; the air conditioning worked well and was a necessity. It was an easy walk into the village, which we did most evenings. It didn't seem to be very touristy in the local villages, which was lovely. Plenty of small shops, bakeries etc. so no need to find a big supermarket. We saw quite a bit of the area, but would love to come back one day to continue our explorations. Thank you for having us. ##### Liz D. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 28 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect! What a lovely villa! So clean and welcoming. Thanks to clear directions we found it easily, even in the dark! The villa is located in a lovely, quiet spot. Surrounded by orange trees, it’s really tranquil. There is a villa behind but you really aren’t aware of it as the privacy is so good, and as a private residence it was so quiet we didn’t even really know if anyone was there! So don’t be put off, it still feels very secluded. The villa worked well for us as a family of 4; plenty of room, equipped with everything you could need and the pool was perfectly maintained and a pleasure to use. I have to mention the views as they are just incredible! The villa looks out towards the white mountains and they provide such a wonderful backdrop. The local village has lots to offer in terms of food/drinks and a little shop and the next town on has even more. The villa is such a good base to explore Crete from, everywhere is so accessible from it. We met the House Managers during our stay, and they were lovely, full of information on places that made our holiday even more special. Thank you and we will definitely return! ##### Mark Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christian Z. 25 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Kreta 2025 Wir hatten einen schönen Urlaub in einem gepflegten Haus bei dem es an nichts gefehlt hat.

Beautifully equipped villa which felt immediately like a home. Delightful pool area just right for lazing all day, and plenty of shade if needed, plus the gorgeous view of the mountains. Only 5 minutes drive from couple of villages with nice little eateries, and 12 minutes or so from Kalives, a small coastal resort with some lovely restaurants overlooking the sea . There was also a good supermarket there. We had a drive around some of the local villages which was interesting too. We had a couple of small issues which were dealt with swiftly and with good grace by the owners. All in all it was just what we were looking for in a week to escape the UK weather and completely chill. ##### Diane H.

Belles plages , petits restaurants et activités pour enfants. Une chose importante à savoir, il y a un couple d'anglais qui habitent la maison juste derrière. Ils ont deux chiens et des coqs. Les chiens aboient toutes les 30 minutes durant la nuit et nos 3 premières nuits ont été très mauvaise. Nous en avons ensuite parlé aux gestionnaires de la villa (Steve et Jane) qui ont fait le nécessaire pour que ça n'arrive plus, merci à eux. Concernant les coqs, ils chantent à quelques mètres de la maison et de 04:30 à 07:00. ##### Michael C.

Wir konnten bequem zu Fuß zum nächsten Ort Armenoi laufen, um die tolle griechische Küche zu genießen. Für weitere Ziele haben wir einen Mietwagen benutzt. Dieser ist für den gesamten Aufenthalt unverzichtbar, allein schon für die Einkäufe. In der Villa ist alles notwendig vorhanden, um selbst zu kochen. Für diejenigen, die Probleme mit den Zirpen haben, gibt es sogar Ohropax. Wir empfehlen die Villa gerne weiter. Natascha, Michael und Kinder ##### Michael K.
