Set in picturesque countryside with olive groves and views of the White Mountains, the house is close to the region's beautiful beaches, traditional villages and lively markets. Here you can enjoy authentic Crete in an idyllic setting - an ideal place to relax and explore! The villa is built from traditional quarry stone and offers plenty of space for four people with two bedrooms, a living room, large balcony and terrace. On the ground floor are the kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and guest toilet with shower. The living room and the very large balcony are on the first floor. The first bedroom has a double bed. The second bedroom has two single beds. Both bedrooms have their own air conditioning and patio doors to the garden. The living room is on the first floor of the house and has two exits to the large balcony. From the balcony you have fantastic views of the White Mountains, the bay of Souda and the beach of Georgioupoli. The house is surrounded by a beautiful garden. The terrace is just above the pool in front of the house. Next to the house there is a bricked barbecue. The pool is 4m\*8m. In the cooler months it can be heated with a pool heater (pool heating on request, € 15.00 per 24 hours). The villa has a solar hot water system and a photovoltaic system so that during the sunny summer months electricity and hot water are generated in an environmentally friendly way using only solar energy.

The villa is very well equipped and finished to a very high standard. A car is essential as it at the top of windy roads in the mountains but this should not put you off as the views are stunning. I could not speak highly enough of this villa. Loved it!! ##### Steve H.
