Photos and Description of this Chania holiday villa 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, can sleep up to 14 -15

Its award winner architect has come up with a design, for a luxury, yet easy-going, country home that combines traditional elements, (like wide stone walls, exposed wooden beams), with modern ones (like folding glass panels, interior light wells, lookout decks at each floor) to offer residents the sense of being secure and cozy, while open to enjoy the panoramic views and the docile Cretan climate – the best there is! Standing on its 4000 m2 of olive groves, with 12 x 3,5 m private pool, the villa is located at an idyllic countryside spot of Nea Kydonia, from where it’s just 10 min drive to Hania town, and 800 m to Kalamaki’ sea, with many sandy beaches nearby. What previous guests have loved most was the feeling of spaciousness, the communication and free lines of vision that the light wells allowed, the opportunity to enjoy being outdoors at the patio, the dinning terrace and the pool, the décor’s equilibrium of earthly colours and materials with aluminium and modern fitting.

The villa is situated on its own, gently slopping, one-acre land, tucked among olive trees with open west view towards a low hill with olive and grapes groves and the north coast. Although only 5 km away from Hania town it offers an away from it all peace, within walking distance from Kalamaki small harbor and its fishing boats and small beach. From there, one can walk east to Kalamaki resort which boasts a number of sheltered sandy beaches, mini markets, as well as seafront tavernas along the gently shelving beach. Stalos is 2 km west with its long sandy beach and numerous tourists’ shops and eating-places. You can use the villa as a base to explore ancient, rural and modern Crete, or simply to relax by the pool and allow the place’s magic, restore your energy. But then it’s only 10 min drive to Hania, (a town that stays alive even in winter), where you can enjoy a rich night life, good food, shops and market places.

Best villa we've ever rented

Party of 9 - Christmas 2007 Brussels, Belgium
Review Submitted: January 7, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2007
A truly impressive house, inside and out. We were a party of 9 and there was plenty of space for all, with beds to spare. The villa is superbly equipped, particularly for wonderful meals in, and the location is perfect--the sea and olive groves with few other houses in view, yet just two minutes from the National Road and easy access to Chania and other spots on the island. The pictures here and on the owner's site are just a taste of the pleasures of this house. I heartily recommend this property for any group of up to 12-14 people and commend Katerina and Kostas for their terrific service and helpfulness to their guests.
Owner's Response: It is such a nice surprice to read this warm review!
Kostas and I are honoured to have you as guests, and we appreciate very much how well you all treated the house. Please relay our thoughts to your friends and thank them from us, and tell them we'll be happy to accommodate any of you again, whenever you can!

just perfect!!

Review Submitted: July 25, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We were in this wonderful villa in april 2009, with a group of 11 people.The villa is great!! Enough room for all of us,lovely bedrooms/bathrooms and a very nice good kitchen!
The outdoor living space is wonderful, with a great view and a lot of space.There is also enough space to park a few cars. We even had 2 cars and 5 motorbikes and no problem at all to park them.The garden is big and the swimming pool is spacious enough for everyone.We had some great BBQ evenings on one of the terraces. Upstairs there are 2 washing machine,s which can be very handy!
Katerina and Kostas are very friendly and helpful.
I can recommend this villa to everyone as very nice and clean (twice a week people came to clean the villa). Also for children there is enough to do (table tennis, games, dvd player,pool)
To get to the beach you don,t even need a car,only to reach the big supermarkets you have to drive about 10 minutes.
This villa is the perfect place to stay for large groups of people!!!

even better in reality

Bibejan Amsterdam, Netherlands
Review Submitted: January 7, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
We had a wonderful time at Villa Catani in october 2008. The house itself is very spacious, even for the 14 people our group consisted of. It is very childfriendly. It has everything you want for a week or two of a relaxing holiday: Great view, far away from noisy roads, yet very close to Chania and /or beaches. The interiour is modern and cosy at the same time, with many nice details. The space around the house is great, as is the swimming pool.

The only thing you have to keep in mind is that since the house consists mostly of wood, and the architecture is 'open', it can be noisy. If you are with a group with different wishes considering bed time etc, this is thing you need to think about.

Mostly a rental house is a bit less great when you see it for the first time, compared to the internet pictures. Villa Catani was even better than we expected. We will definitely come back!

June 2004:
“What a wonderful time we had on our week vacation to Crete.
The home was wonderful. There were 10 of us + we never felt crowded.
We loved the patio areas. We had coffee in the patio in the morning + ate dinner in the evening.
The sunsets were beautiful, the view was spectacular, and the weather was perfect.
We went to the beach during the day + explored the city in the afternoon.
Excellent shopping + sightseeing near the waterfront in the old town.
The kids loved the race car track.
Katerina + Kostas were wonderful, kind, helpful ”

“Great villa so relaxing staying by the pool.
Big beach enjoyed very much by us all – particularly the kids.
Knossos extremely interesting – but a very long drive!
Good bars + restaurants all over the place”
