East of the city of Chania, in an area of great natural beauty. In this village (out of a total of 300 for Greece) the title of the national beauty conservation area "NATURA" has been awarded, keeping agriculture as the main activity. The old houses have been rebuilt for holidays and provide a view of traditional life according to the seasons. (Olives and oranges in winter, vegetables and fruits in summer, in autumn wine). There are two taverns with traditional Cretan cuisine, and a mini-market with local products. All together are 5 Studios and 3 scattered houses in the property, built to ensure privacy and calm, with terraces overlooking a countryside and the sea. From the village, the road leads to the beaches at 3 km, surrounded by the forest, (the nearest KERA is 2.5 km away, and 3 km from Almirida or Kalives beach where Super Markets - newspapers - restaurants are -bars- sports activity center). You can drive or walk a distance by the roadside, in a unique beauty of the forest of cypresses, olive trees and wild plants. You can select, Studio of a separate bedroom with a large room or a house with an additional bedroom on the 1st floor with private terrace. The 5 studios and 3 houses are equipped with kitchen and full bathroom, including all amenities Wi-Fi, air conditioning. Table games, TV, PC and printer, in the common room. Sun loungers, parasols, for the outdoors. Swimming pool to share. All studios have their own terrace and unlimited views. welcome basket including breakfast for the needs of the first day, sheets and towels included, cleaning once a week. We had a lovely apartment, spacious and cool (air con is great!), huge double room above living (and kids’ sleeping) space. Quiet village, not at all ‘touristy’, and a really peaceful place to stay. We had a terrace outside the bedroom, great spot to sit in the evening and watch the sun set over Souda bay. Ground floor terrace with patio furniture, lovely spot to eat (although apartment cooking facilities are very limited – don’t stay here if you’re the sort who loves to cook on holiday!). Clean, sheets and towels were changed about every 3 days, washing machine in communal office area. Friendly owner who responded very quickly to text messages about minor issues. Pool was larger than we expected, very clean and well maintained with plenty of loungers and umbrellas. Lovely setting, well maintained and lots of flowers around so very pretty. Excellent, good value family-run taverna right next door – some quiet music in the evening, but won’t disturb (except the night we were there and they had a very noisy wedding reception until the small hours!!). Our boys (10 and 13) loved it, especially the pool. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchenette - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village ### 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 (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 484 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/21980000/21975000/21974962/w1079h1080x1y0-adbc389a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stratos Villas Chania with pool and sea view Chania - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washing machine - Outdoor space 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=21974962&PinnedHotelID=21974962&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111070000/111066500/111066440/3d4aca7b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Pool, Sunny Location, South Rethimno, Ideal for Adults Saktouria - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=111066440&PinnedHotelID=111066440&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/82000000/81660000/81650800/81650760/59c8ee1a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ιndependent stone appartment common pool Παλαιλώνι - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi 7.6 Good 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=81650760&PinnedHotelID=81650760&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73470000/73460500/73460435/90a1fad1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sole Mare Seaside Apts- Seaview studio (2) Κάτω Γούβες - Pool - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Parking available 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=73460435&PinnedHotelID=73460435&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101980000/101973300/101973231/b2ef20c4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Melodia of Vamos, Crete Vamos, Apkoronou - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=101973231&PinnedHotelID=101973231&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91400000/91396000/91395982/ccb6cffb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ιndependent stone 2 bedroom apartment with attic.

Stayed 13 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave M., Cumnock in Scotland 8 Sept 2018 #### Two relaxing, fabulous weeks in the sun At the tail end of August my wife and I had two great weeks exploring the west of Crete using Kostoula's property as a base. The studio flat was fantastic and our hostess, very helpful. You need a car, but Crete itself is so big, a car is always going to be a must if you want to see as much of the island as possible. The flat was spotless on arrival and the small complex it sat within was ideal for chilling out after the exertions of the day. You would not be disappointed if you chose to stay here ##### Dave M.
