Villa Solbakk is perched on a hillside in the desirable village of Plaka, just 500m easy walk from the cute main square that is ringed by a handful of charming tavernas and 2 well stocked mini markets, and only 1km from Almyrida’s inviting sandy beaches, crystal clear sea, cafes, tavernas, and shops, Boasting a sprawling view of the azure Aegean Sea, this 3 bedroom, 1 ½ bath, two storey contemporary villa is fringed by manicured flowerbeds, and a gleaming 10m long oval pool, making it a perfect home away from home for families, friends, or couples. The villa takes its name from the Norwegian for “sun bath” and the reason for this is particularly evident on the large main terrace that is punctuated by the inviting pool, and well equipped with sun loungers, a large dining table for 6, an egg swing chair, a covered alcove which has a marble bar, a fridge, a barbecue, a cocktail table and chairs, endowing the villa with every outdoor amenity one could want. During the Winter of 2024/25 a stylish spiral outside shower unit is being constructed on one side of the pool terrace using local stone that matches the stone perimeter walls and the paving on the terraces. This will essentially add a further “shower room” to the villa, enabling our guests to enjoy completely private al-fresco showers, with hot and cold running water. Villa Solbakk is surrounded by lovingly curated landscaping featuring lush flora that includes colourful bougainvillea, canna lilies, lantana (also known as the butterfly bush), bird of paradise, oleander, African daisies, wild garlic, yucca, bottlebrush bushes, strawberries, rosemary, mint, carob and pine trees. Immediately below the pool terrace, the lower garden is planted with fruit trees, plumbago, and very large prickly pears. The plot is completely gated and fenced, and there are 2 private parking spaces. Inside, the pleasingly muted colour scheme in greys, blacks, and white highlights the tasteful decor and modern amenities that include smart lights, a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, juicer, microwave, electric stove and oven, kettle, French press coffee maker and lovely ceramic table settings. An outdoor covered terrace on the 2nd floor features a light grey rattan dining set and further affords the enviable vista. A large round faux marble dining table in the open kitchen/living area provides seating for 6 while a sofa and two arm chairs in the living room (with two additional chairs) offers relaxing seating options for your family or group. A 42-inch wall-mounted Smart TV with surround sound speakers allows for enjoyable viewing on movie nights. Again, the bay and village vista augment the comfort and beauty of this lovely villa, with the vibrant sunsets being a particular delight. Downstairs, on the same floor as the villa’s entrance, 3 bedrooms (two of which have double doors that open out to the expansive pool and outdoor patios) and a full bathroom comprise the serene sleeping areas. The principal bedroom features a king-size bed with ample closet space, and the second and third bedrooms offer a double, and two single beds, respectively, also with enclosed wardrobe space. In short, Villa Solbakk will appeal to those who would like to holiday in a quality villa with a private pool and sea views, whilst being within walking distance of a sandy beach and many local amenities. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 accessible parking spaces - 2 steps to reach entrance - Handrails in stairways - No lift - Tile flooring in public areas - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Concierge services - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service - Safe ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the sea ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Local culture and ecosystem education - Recycling - Solar energy - Unit size: 1,076 square feet ## Similar properties ![3 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34490000/34484100/34484063/ef0ebec2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Pindarakis - 550m to Almyrida beach, two pools, mountain views Almyrida - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 17 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=34484063&PinnedHotelID=34484063&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22240000/22235500/22235473/108528da.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Eleonas stone villa with private pool, mountain views, serene location Chania - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 37 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=22235473&PinnedHotelID=22235473&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34310000/34300800/34300778/w3264h2136x0y0-2547ec02.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Near Kalives. 2 bedrooms, private pool, Free WIFI, A.C, views and all amenities.
