Luxury villa with private pool, stunning views, near the sea and beach

A lovely, self-catering hillside villa, Maiandros has stunning views from sea-facing balconies and terraces, looking west over the private pool. Walking it’s 5 minutes from the village centre shops and 14 from the sandy beach at Almirida. The villa design is bold, dramatic and built to a high standard with full insulation for year-round comfort. It's cooled by prevailing winds through double and triple aspect windows that have mosquito screens in the bedrooms. The entrance leads into a huge open sitting and dining area with views in all directions and a wood fire for cooler evenings. The large family kitchen is equipped with all appliances. A wide staircase rises to an imposing gallery with more wonderful views. Both main bedrooms overlook the private pool and have en-suite shower rooms. There is a large family bathroom and the third bedroom has views to the east over the shady rear garden, cut into the rock. Memorable evening views over the pool and from the roof terrace.

Car: recommended

Maiandros Villa is in a short private road, in a quiet, semi-rural wooded setting on a hillside giving panoramic views over Souda Bay from the house, the balconies and the pool terrace. It is only 5 minutes' walk to the village centre where there are several tavernas, bars and food shops. A 14-minute walk leads down to the coastal town of Almirida where there are more shops, tavernas, car hire and a sheltered bay with soft sandy beaches and sailing. A number of tavernas in the area feature live Greek music in the evenings. Even a fortnight is too short to enjoy Crete’s huge variety of history, archaeological sites, landscape, beaches and activities, like walking, bird watching, lazing, painting, swimming and meeting the hospitable people. It’s a large island – over 160 miles long with three high mountain ranges and a population of 600,000. Charming, ancient Chania with its Venetian harbour, boat trips, quaint streets and lovely shops is 30 minutes by car.

Notes:

The house is furnished and equipped for the owners' use when it is not let so the standard is more like that of a private house than a holiday villa. Numerous balconies and terraces give a wide choice of sun or shade. The site is cut out of a steep hillside, creating a shady rear rock garden. Bedrooms are equipped with effective fans and Bedrooms 1 and 2 have windows on adjacent walls that create a through-flow of cooler evening air. For cooler weather there is a powerful wood-burning stove in the sitting area and also underfloor heating if the weather should turn unseasonably colder. The pool is safe for most ages, ranging in depth from 1m to a maximum of 1.5 m. The end of the pool faces into Souda Bay, giving wonderful views as far as Chania in the distance. Sunsets over the bay and pool can be breathtaking. We consider the house is not suitable for young children. To enjoy the panoramic views it is built up high, creating dangers from stone steps and high balconies.
