About this property

LARGE VILLA and COTTAGE annex with private pool. Amazing views. Sleeps up to 13

In an AMAZING and VERY SPECIAL LOCATION with wraparound views, this is a great villa for large or extended families, or where grandparents can join with children and grandchildren. The separate self-contained cottage is included in the price and is a quiet space with its own terrace and garden.

The location and size of this Villa, and the space around make it very special, even in this amazing part of Crete.

With its private pool and multiple terraces, all with stunning views of sea and mountains, a large gamesroom, and large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, this really is a special place.

SLEEPS UP TO 13 plus a baby cot. THIS LOVELY LARGE VILLA comes with separate self-contained cottage and its own private pool. It is ideal for families, groups, or bringing friends or grandparents. Just 5 minutes walk from taverna and mini-market, and 6 minutes short drive to beaches. All rooms are spacious with high ceilings and plenty of light. There are several terraces enjoying fantastic views of this lovely part of Crete. We have a great local team to keep the villa cleaned and maintained. There are far-reaching views on all sides of the property: the Mediterranean, Souda Bay, Akroteri peninsula, White Mountains and nearby villages and resorts.

The Villa has 3 double bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and with 3 single folding beds in the large living area, can sleep up to 9. There is also a baby cot available on request.

The self-contained Cottage (which is included in prices for groups of more than 6) has 1 double bedroom and a full-size double pull-out sofa-bed in the living area, can sleep a further 4 people.

Unlimited free WiFi. Air-conditioning throughout.
8x5 m private pool, large gamesroom with table-football, pool-table and table-tennis, lovely gardens, and 5 terraces.

The local taverna and ‘mini-market’ are 5 minutes walk and the beautiful sandy beach of Almirida just 6 minutes drive.

This is great value for families. but could also suit 3 or 4 couples sharing.

You have use of the Villa and self-contained Cottage together. We do not let them separately, so the whole site, including the pool, is available for you and your family or friends to use privately.

We will send you a comprehensive Visitors' Guide before your holiday, which explains all the details of the Villa, local maps and amenities.

You can walk the 5 minutes to the local taverna and mini-market, but a car is advisable if you want to visit the local resort of Almyrida and the beaches, which are a 6 or 7 minute drive.

The nearest airport is Chania, which has year-round connections to most European countries. The airport to Villa journey takes about 45 minutes and will cost around Euro 50 for a taxi. Alternatively there is plenty of car rental choice, and we can give you clear route instructions to find the Villa. (Once you have booked we are happy to guide you with finding the right taxi, car rental and other issues.)

CANCELLATION: We will refund all your payments to us if your holiday is cancelled due to government-imposed restrictions on travel or the use of holiday accommodation. (We fully refunded some guests in 2021 due to Covid restrictions).

Wonderful holiday during the pandemic
We last stayed at this villa 13 years ago, it hasn’t changed during that time and still has wonderful views. The villa itself is large to accommodate a bigger family like mine. The villa is basic and isn’t somewhere I would like to cook in a lot, the cookers were very old and were not great to work with. We ate out most nights and could walk to a local taverna and little shop which stocked a lot of items. The pool Is lovely but the area does not have any shade only a small bush gave us partial shade around the pool area for some of the day, it would have been nice to have something over the Pergola to add extra shade Especially with children. The BBQ was wonderful but there was no seating so we were separated when the men cooked the BBQ, it would have been nice to have some shade and seating near the BBQ area. We had a great time and the owner was absolutely fantastic and so patient with us when we were so unsure if we would get to Crete because of Covid.

Stunning views - wonderful stay in Crete
Thank you for a wonderful stay at Villa Almryda in Crete. The view over Souda Bay is stunning and you can watch the comings and goings in the bay from the shade of the balcony over looking the pool. We were 11 plus 1 baby. Stephen the owner was very helpful in arranging a cot and high chair for the baby and left helpful information on the local area. We spent time in Chania and drove to Lake Kournas which is worth the trip. Catering in the villa is easy and there is a great tavern only 7-8 minutes walk away. We were worried about taking a large group which we felt might feel overcrowded but the villa and cottage are definitely large enough to accommodate a 10-12 people while still feeling spacious. The sofa bed camp beds are a little uncomfortable/springy so we recommend using the sofa itself which is a comfy enough bed in itself. Lovely pool and games room are at the property. If you want to get away from it all this a great spot. Thank you again for your hospitality.

A family paradise
We stayed at Villa Almaryda for 2 wonderful weeks! Everybody in our family of 10 (3 generations from 3 yrs to 70 yrs) was very happy. Six of us (2 + 1+ 3) stayed in the villa, while four (my oldest son, his wife and two kids) stayed in the cottage. We truly enjoyed our time at the beautiful house. Things could not have been better: the location with the breathtaking view of the sea and distant mountains, the fantastic pool, terraces, sun beds, the spacious kitchen and dining room, comfortable furniture and the attractions of the garage (ping-pong etc - very appreciated by the kids). Pool maintenance and cleaning service was very efficient. All in all we loved every minute of our stay at Villa Almaryda - it truly was the perfect setting for a great family vacation.

Why they chose this property

We first visited Crete in 2002 and immediately fell in love with the climate, the scenery, and the relaxed and unhurried atmosphere of Mediterranean life. We returned the next year to buy this plot of land and later we built the Villa and Cottage. We wanted the large and flexible accommodation, so that we could have or extended family or groups of friends stay with us - and it has worked just as we had planned.
