From its elevated position, this villa boasts wonderful views of the countryside and the coast. It’s in a rural setting 4 kilometres above the village of Tavronitis, within easy reach of Chania – the old town is well worth a visit. We think it's essential to have a car to get the most out of your stay. The villa is traditional in style but has everything you might need for a comfortable stay – we love the mature gardens, the swimming pool, and the sun deck. Kids will love having a games room to take over, while grown-ups will enjoy cooking on the pizza oven and dining alfresco.
