Beautiful detached house in the mountains in Kolymvari

My accommodation is in Astrikas, a small mountain village with about 150 inhabitants, near Kolymbari. You will love my accommodation because of the great view and the unlikely calm. My accommodation is well suited for couples, adventurers traveling alone and furry friends (pets) are also welcome.

Astrikas is a small village with about 150 inhabitants. It is set amongst acres of olive groves at an altitude of 200 meters just southwest of the larger coastal town of Kolymbari. Astrikas is known for its Biolia Olive Oil factory, where organic and high quality olive oil is produced. The views from the grounds of the factory on the back side is over the enchanting landscape and the very interesting village of Rokka and its excavations (this needs to be seen, gorgeous!).

You will love my accommodation because of the awesome view and the improbable peace.

The large elevated terrace with two sunbeds offers endless time of relaxation in your own private zone. You will enjoy your meals on the comfortable sitting and dining area with amazing views from it over the enchanting landscape.

Inside the house you will find a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable bathroom with schower, WC and bidet and a spacious bedroom.

The location is ideal for exploring North-Western Crete combining peaceful rural living with close proximity to beautiful beaches and the venetian port of Chania.

Astrikas, Crete.
We arrived on Wednesday 6th of September. We collected the rental car and headed towards our destination. We had already been advised by the owner that we would be met at the start of the village by her representative Michalis. The owner had already given coordinates and Michalis contact number. When we arrived at the village we rang him and he duly met us. Michalis guided us up to the property and shown us around. The villa is absolutely gorgeous. The back drop of the mountains in the distance is just perfect. The village was peaceful. Inside there was loads of finishing to cater for all your needs. Loads of patio to sunbathe in, sun beds! This villa is just lovely. Washing machine etc, air con! Having lived in Corfu & Kefalonia we was use to mingling with the locals as we use to live in a local enclosed village. If you are looking for isolation, peace and quiet with the mountains as your back drop, then take a look at this Villa. Myself and my wife loved everything about it. Nigel & Jaqs.

Perfect place for our stay in Crete!
This was our first time in Greece and Crete. We are from the U.S. We initially chose the property because it was centrally located for all of our planned activities. It is a very peaceful place off the beaten path with a wonderful patio/balcony area. You can tell that a lot of time and effort has been put into the renovations of the property. It was very nice inside. Maria (the owner) was extremely helpful and kind. She responded to numerous inquiries and was always cheerful. If we visit Crete again we will definitely consider booking here! Thanks again Maria!

A relaxing gem of a property in the heart of the Crete countryside
Our stay at Maria’s property far exceeded our expectations. It truly is a lovely comfortable house set in idyllic countryside . We chose this location and property to try to get away from our busy everyday lives at home and wanted to try the tranquility and countryside views that were described. It delivered on every level, actually from the moment we arrived. If you are looking for a peaceful holiday with beaches and beautiful Chania town a short drive away, surrounded by nature and everyday Cretan life amongst the olive groves then I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. We will be visiting again very soon to recharge and refresh 😎 Thank you Maria and Michalis

A peaceful place to rest
We have stayed in this nice apartment for 8 days. The surrounding is really nice the place is surrounded by olive trees all around the area. The apartments is really well equipped - huge fridge, owen, toaster... just like home. The owner is really nice and responsive we kept contact via Whatsupp :) The only downside is that you must have a car to drive around and you need to drive quite much to reach the best beaches. But if you are looking for a peaceful place with a sky full of stars this is the one for you.

Peaceful retreat
My girlfriend and I wanted to find a quiet place in Crete to relax, away from most of the tourists but not far from the coast and Chania town. This property is exactly what we were hoping to find for a reasonable price. There are a few houses in the surrounding area and there's a small village about half a mile away, so we didn't feel isolated but it is really peaceful here. The property is clean, comfortable and spacious. It has a modern feel with character and we felt totally at home. We really liked the kitchen/dining room where we spent a lot of time cooking, so quite important! The sheltered dining area on the patio is great anytime of the day and provides some welcome shade. Maria the owner is a pleasure to talk to and always helpful. We hope to stay here again soon!

Ein toller Rückzugsort
Wir hatten eine wunderbare und erholsame Zeit in dieser tollen und ruhig gelegenen Unterkunft. Der Ausblick von der Terrasse ist wunderschön, die Küche ist toll ausgestattet und auch sonst hat uns nichts gefehlt. Ein toller Ort um den Nordwesten Kretas zu erkunden. Der Empfang von Michalis (Liebe Grüße) war sehr herzlich und der Kontakt zur Gastgeberin Maria lief schnell ukd reibungslos. Wir können diese Unterkunft sehr empfehlen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Vielen Dank, Janine & Markus
