The first sight upon entering this villa is the breathtaking view across the infinity pool into Stavros sea and mountain, famous from the 1964 Oscar nominated film “Zorbas the Greek” with Anthony Quinn. Our villa is the house where Anthony Quinn (Alexis Zorbas) lived in and the beach in front of the villa is the beach where he danced the famous “syrtaki”. The villa features a infinity edge swimming pool and sunbathing terrace with luxurious high quality sun loungers and umbrellas. Sometimes, especially in the evening is very difficult to distinguish the pool water from the water of the sea… The outdoor seating area, complete with pizza oven, BBQ, bar and lounge area, provides guests with ample space to enjoy outdoor living at its very finest, both day and night, with glamorous lighting illuminating the terraces once evening sets. Surrounded by a luxuriant Mediterranean garden and stoned terraces, its gates will lead you directly into the limpid, translucent waters of Stavro's sea... unless, of course, you prefer the infinity pool and its hydromassage corner! The patio, filled with climbing plants and geraniums is the perfect place to enjoy breakfasts and lunches on the shaded terrace where the island’s brisk breezes the cool area. An ideal place for our little ones also where they can enjoy themselves on the playground and the basketball court. Every year we are trying to improve your staying and we are updating our facilities. We added a luxurious swing chair with stand and a very comfortable huge chair...It s difficult to describe it, it s better to seat on it. We also provide a professional ping pong table and a new football table with telescoping steel rods and steel ball bearings. Step back in time and spend an idyllic holiday experiencing Cretan living from a beautifully restored village house on the historic island of Crete. The Villa is renting under the special seal of the Greek National Tourism Organization (MHTE no 1042K92003089001, 17/04/2015) ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - DVD player - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Only in the outside area ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycles - Foosball table - Table tennis - Water sports equipment - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing 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) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Property located in a resort - Unit size: 1,399 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:30 PM Minimum check-in age - 23 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking allowed: in designated areas Only in the outside area ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.
