Cretan Stone Villa, A/C, Private Pool, Spectacular 360° Views of the Countryside, Coastline & Sea!

A steady ascent up the winding mountain road that leads to Villa Kourouni rewards visitors with the most spectacular 360° view encompassing a vast swathe of countryside, coast and open sea. Occupying a unique, commanding position fringed by olive groves, the location of Villa Kouroni is nothing short of breathtaking and undoubtedly ranks alongside the best of any house in our portfolio.

Designed and externally finished in traditional Cretan stone this impressive, elevated position affords visitors quite simply one of the best views in Western Crete (this same site was in fact used by the Resistance during World War II as a vantage point to watch for approaching enemy troops!). From the pool terrace one can see all along the North coast of the island as far as Kolimbari to the West and Chania Town/Souda bay in the East.

Leading up from the private parking area a gently sloping pathway and four steps convey you to the house entrance, part of a large arch-shaped panoramic window that floods the interior with light. The accommodation unfolds conveniently across one level and comprises an open plan living/dining area, modern fitted kitchen, three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Each bedroom is air conditioned with views to the sea and doors leading to the pool terrace.

Just a few minutes’ drive downhill brings you to the sleepy village of Apano Stalos where you will find three tavernas of excellent repute as well as a mini market for everyday essentials. From here the excellent amenities and golden sandy beaches of Kato Stalos (Star Beach) and Agia Apostoli (Golden Beach plus two more) are just a ten minute drive.

To the south side of the house there is a lovely shady terrace with stone table and enchanting views towards the Lefki Ori white mountains of Western Crete. From here follow the sand-coloured stone pathway as it meanders along to another shady spot and barbecue area.

The famous Samaria Gorge is just an hour’s drive from Villa Kourouni as are several smaller gorges and dozens of walking and cycle trails suitable for all levels of ability. Water sports can be found at Aghia Marina (a 15 minute drive) and there are several sailing boats and diving schools dotted along the coast. The wildlife lake at Agia is well worth a visit to see freshwater turtles and the many exotic birds either living there or temporarily visiting on their migratory routes to/from Africa. A couple of lakeside cafés provide handy refreshment.

Reached in just 20 minutes, the beautiful Venetian port of Chania old town is world famous and is a marvellous spot for a meal around the atmospheric harbour or a browse in the bustling bazaars that line the cobbled back streets.
