Villa Asteriskos

A great location close to Almyrida, a private swimming pool and a games room with table tennis make Villa Asteriskos a fantastic option for families with young children or teenagers, while the incredible views of Souda Bay and the White Mountains are the perfect backdrop for a romantic honeymoon. The cool, rustic interiors with exposed wooden beams and stone details have their own characterful charm, but the real allure of Villa Asteriskos is the panoramic sea and mountain views. The hillside location of the villa overlooks the natural beauty of the area, which you can enjoy from the private swimming pool and dining table on the terrace. There is also an outdoor kitchen surrounded by trailing jasmine- the perfect place to cook a meal with homegrown vegetables from the villa garden. The local area Alymrida is between a 15 to 20 minute walk away from the villa. You can go there to pick up fresh bread from the bakery, or to enjoy a meal of freshly caught seafood in one of the excellent waterfront tavernas. Teenagers are welcome in the handful of low-key bars, which are close enough to the villa for peace of mind while adults enjoy a peaceful evening on the terrace! For families with small children, we recommend driving to Alymrida – it only takes 5 minutes and children can save their energy for playing on the three beaches in the area. There are both pebble and sand beaches, and there is equipment hire and tuition for windsurfing if you are feeling adventurous. Lake Kournas is a 35-minute drive away and boar hire is available in Kalves, which is a 5-minute drive away. For those wanting to explore Crete further, there are many traditional inland villages on the Apokronos, such as Plaka and Gavalochori. Meanwhile, bustling Chania town is a 30-minute drive away from Villa Asteriskos Layout Ground floor Open plan living/dining/kitchen area with Satellite TV, DVD player Master bedroom (180cm bed) with en-suite bathroom Twin bedroom (90cm beds; ability to turn in to double bed) Shower room Staircase to lower ground floor Lower ground floor Games room with table tennis and TV Twin bedroom (90cm beds; ability to turn in to double bed) Shower room Washing machine Open utility space Distances (A car is recommended in this location due to lack of visibility at night) Beach/ taverna /restaurant (Almyrida) 5min drive Basic shops/supermarket (Mini market/SYNKA) 5min drive Lake (Lake Kournas) 35min drive Boat hire (Kalves) 5min drive Airport (Chania) 30min drive Smoking - not allowed
