Villa in Ano Daratso

Villa Joy

This sparkling villa is well-named. Experience the joy of staying here in Chania, minutes from the heart of town and the golden sand beaches of the west coast of Crete. Exclusive style, sophisticated architecture and enviable service may make it challenging for you to leave your comfortable and idyllic surroundings to discover all the island has to offer. Located at the top of a hill, the villa is built in five semi-levels sparing no luxury. On the outside, the aquamarine private pool is surrounded by a lush garden looking out to the view of the town and glistening sea. Whether you love technology, outdoor activities or both, Villa Joy will cater for your needs. There’s a home theater system, Wi-Fi, DVD player, iPod dock and computer for indoor entertainment. Outside you’ll find a swimming pool, plunge pool, jetted tub and gas barbecue offer more than enough to do in this child-friendly vacation villa. The large pool is exclusive to Villa Joy dwellers’ pleasure. It is divided into two sections - a circular shallower jetted tub whose water cascades into the larger almond-shaped deeper section. The poolside and garden offer spots of cool shade and radiant light, as well as privacy and panoramic views. Enjoy a meal by a hired chef (additional charge will apply and advance notice is required) or create your own masterpiece in the fully equipped Italian design kitchen, using fresh local products of the highest quality that we can bring to your doorstep. A series of tended terraces lead up the hilly landscape to the house and pool. The living and dining areas exude sleek simplicity. And the décor throughout is calming with splashes of vibrant color to bring it to life. Villa Joy boasts five bedrooms plus a guest suite. All bedrooms either have their own en-suite facilities or share them with another room. The property sleeps a maximum of 10 guests and there’s additional bedding in the form of a pull-out bed in the playroom and two twin fold-out beds if some of your party want their own space. All bedrooms have air conditioning for maximum comfort. There’s plenty to see and do within a short distance of Villa Joy. Take your pick from a glorious sandy beach, restaurants and shopping outlets in the local town. An added bonus is that the airport is only a 25 minute drive away. Copyright © Luxury Retreats.

In addition to the soft, comforting bed linen, each room has a big added bonus – access to a private outdoor terrace or veranda. Picture yourself, chilled drink in hand, watching the lights shimmer in the distance and breathing in the freshest of air as you wind down for the day. In the morning, there’s no better place than this for admiring the ocean and considering the possibilities of the new day ahead over a strong coffee or glass of fresh orange juice. One of the many marvelous features of this property is its seclusion without forfeiting its proximity to local amenities. The village of Kolymbari is only 2 km away and has a supermarket, bank and curvaceous coastline. A rental car is recommended so you can go off for day trips to nearby towns and villages while enjoying unrivaled views of the Cretan shoreline.

Villa in Panormos

Thalassa Residence

Think about the warmth of the sun and the cool of the sea breeze—and nothing else—at Thalassa Residence. This newly built Crete vacation rental is designed for relaxation, whether that means napping in the sun, making memories with friends and family, or a little bit of both. Its six bedrooms can accommodate groups of up to twelve, while a location near the town of Panormos is convenient to shopping and dining. You’ll want to spend most of your holiday on the villa’s stunning terrace, which features a swimming pool, hot tub, tempting row of loungers, sitting area, barbecue and pergola-covered dining area, all with views of the sea. Inside, however, you’ll also find luxury amenities from a games room and sauna to a private exercise room and elevator. Sliding glass doors that run nearly from wall to wall make the villa’s L-shaped great room feel like an extension of the terrace. Understated furniture and stone floors look chic (and feel cool underfoot) in the living and dining areas, while a sleek corner fireplace will add warmth if you want it. The kitchen, on the other side of the L, is fully equipped and has an inviting breakfast bar. Each of the six bedrooms at Thalassa Residence has a king bed, en-suite bathroom and TV, and several of the suites open to a balcony or terrace as well. Like the main living areas, the bedrooms are bright and stylish, with refined details like tufted headboards or graceful side chairs, plus spa-worthy bathrooms splashed with stone tile. The villa’s location in the Rethymno area is a 10-minute walk from Panormos Beach—a quieter stretch of sand perfect for a honeymoon-style stroll or splashing with the kids—and an 11-minute walk from the town of Panormos, where you can take care of shopping, explore the cobbled streets or sample the local tavernas.
