If you have ever dream about a holiday villa in Chania in blissful seclusion where you can lose all sense of time, then this unique property will prove ideal, enjoying one of the most enviable positions you are ever likely to find in Crete.
Perched on a hilltop and on the edge of the sea, the views are stupendous and its immaculate interior match its magnificent location.
The villa has two floors, each with its own private entrance into a three bedroom apartment. For all intents and purposes the two units are entirely separate and private and in our view it is also ideally suited to a larger group who may wish to rent the whole property exclusively.
The swimming pool is situated in the rocks to one side and is accessed by a common path from the house. Whether you are lounging on the terraces around the pool or relaxing on the spacious private balconies, the views are fabulous and the silence broken only by the waves against the rocky shoreline below.
The standard of the interiors is high, each apartment consists of two bathrooms one with shower, and the other with a jacuzzi bath, three good size bedrooms, two double bed and one twin-beds, some bedrooms have a balcony, a spacious sitting/dining room with a fully equipped kitchen in a section off the sitting area.
The sitting room which has a fireplace, is tastefully furnished with comfortable sofas and chairs, a wide glazed window with two doors leads to a huge balcony with views that will take your breath away. Each apartment has the added convenience of a dishwasher, and a washing machine is provided in the larger of the two bathrooms.
With a constant breeze for which Crete is well known, the villa never feels stuffy and yet air-conditioning is provided in every room.
We have special rates for groups less than 12 persons. Please have a look at the rates section.

About the area
Stavros is a quiet village at the very tip of the Akrotiri peninsula, on a beautiful bay 14 km from Chania. It became known through the famous scenes of the film Zorba the Greek, which was shot here because Stavros was the archetypal sleepy fishing village. It is known for its beautiful sandy beaches and clean blue sea: a small bay with a long sandy beach beside it.

The area is a scattering of holiday homes and private villas and stays beautifully quiet. There are a couple of tavernas close by, and a few more as you head towards Stavros in one direction or Kalathas in the other. Kalathas has a sandy beach with some water sports. There are one or two small grocery shops in the area, and many more shops and restaurants in and around the seaside villages of the peninsula. A car opens up more ways to explore this fascinating part of Crete.
The varied landscape seems endless, from vineyards and melon fields to traditional villages and fishing harbours. At the northern tip, only a four minute drive from the villa, is Stavros beach, where Zorba's mountain towers over a glorious white sandy beach that is shallow and safe for children.
