Villa in Ano Daratso

Villa Joy

This sparkling villa is well-named. Experience the joy of staying here in Chania, minutes from the heart of town and the golden sand beaches of the west coast of Crete. Exclusive style, sophisticated architecture and enviable service may make it challenging for you to leave your comfortable and idyllic surroundings to discover all the island has to offer. Located at the top of a hill, the villa is built in five semi-levels sparing no luxury. On the outside, the aquamarine private pool is surrounded by a lush garden looking out to the view of the town and glistening sea. Whether you love technology, outdoor activities or both, Villa Joy will cater for your needs. There’s a home theater system, Wi-Fi, DVD player, iPod dock and computer for indoor entertainment. Outside you’ll find a swimming pool, plunge pool, jetted tub and gas barbecue offer more than enough to do in this child-friendly vacation villa. The large pool is exclusive to Villa Joy dwellers’ pleasure. It is divided into two sections - a circular shallower jetted tub whose water cascades into the larger almond-shaped deeper section. The poolside and garden offer spots of cool shade and radiant light, as well as privacy and panoramic views. Enjoy a meal by a hired chef (additional charge will apply and advance notice is required) or create your own masterpiece in the fully equipped Italian design kitchen, using fresh local products of the highest quality that we can bring to your doorstep. A series of tended terraces lead up the hilly landscape to the house and pool. The living and dining areas exude sleek simplicity. And the décor throughout is calming with splashes of vibrant color to bring it to life. Villa Joy boasts five bedrooms plus a guest suite. All bedrooms either have their own en-suite facilities or share them with another room. The property sleeps a maximum of 10 guests and there’s additional bedding in the form of a pull-out bed in the playroom and two twin fold-out beds if some of your party want their own space. All bedrooms have air conditioning for maximum comfort. There’s plenty to see and do within a short distance of Villa Joy. Take your pick from a glorious sandy beach, restaurants and shopping outlets in the local town. An added bonus is that the airport is only a 25 minute drive away. Copyright © Luxury Retreats.

Villa in Chania

Almyra

This luxurious three-bedroom villa is perfectly poised to embrace the unique panorama of mountain scenery merging into the far-reaching sea. Almyra is perched majestically overlooking deep blue waters below that sparkle in the Cretan sunlight. When you stay here, you’ll enjoy the security and privacy of being in a gated community with private parking. To get the most from your vacation in this captivating part of Crete, it’s recommended you hire a rental car to bring you from Chania airport which is 40 minutes away. The amenities within the villa make it feel like a true home from home with little touches such as a hairdryer, soft bathrobes, slippers and luxury toiletries all adding to the experience. When the sun goes down for the day, you can gather around the fireplace and talk about the great day you’ve had. Indoors, there’s plenty of technology to keep you busy and outside, you’ll love the swimming pool, pergola and option of al fresco dining using the gas grill to prepare delicious local fish, meat and vegetables. Contemporary and traditional architecture are combined to feature light wooden floors, expanses of glass, modern steel-framed pergolas with wood paneling and natural stone walls. Crisp whites and smooth grays teamed with accents of stainless steel complete the sleek, stylish finish of the minimalist interior. Huge glass doors open onto the grand swimming pool terrace that appears to float over the sea below and beyond. Relax in the heavenly luxury and feel your cares drifting away. The master bedroom has a television and king size bed and is served by an en-suite bathroom with a jetted tub. The other two bedrooms have twin beds which can be easily converted into kings if required. If you wake up feeling energetic or like to work out before you drop off to sleep, bedroom three has its own mini exercise room. Almirida Village and the blissful beach are both a 5 minute walk from Almyra, so you can sit and people-watch in the shade, or lounge in the sunshine for a while listening to the waves softly lapping on the shoreline. There’s a restaurant and grocery store 10 minutes away on foot, when you want to indulge in some of the fine, authentic produce this part of Crete has to offer. Copyright © Luxury Retreats.
