Elegant Apartment Close To The Beach

Villa Athena is located in Kato Gouves, inside a big olive grove and 10 minutes away from the beach. The property consists of a traditional villa, a stone studio, two apartments and two maisonettes. There are two identical apartments next to each other, which you can rent together if you like. The stylish apartment is 65 sq.m. (700 sq. feet), with a spacious outdoor area and a magnificent garden, full of colors, fragrances and local flora. The combination of mild climate and comfort, together with the surrounding olive grove creates a tranquil and relaxing environment, ideal for families and couples. The apartment has two big rooms. The first one consists of the living room and the kitchen. The living room is spacious and has also a couch that can be turned into a bed for one person. In the living room you can also find comfortable chairs, tables and a fireplace. The kitchen is open, with an oven, stoves, coffee machine and all the necessary amenities and utensils of a modern kitchen. Τhe bathroom is comfortable with a bathtub and a shower. In the next room there is the bedroom, with a big double bed for 2 people. We can also provide an extra folding bed for a fourth person. So, the house can host a total of 4 people. There is also a closet, drawers and a LCD TV. There is also a storage room inside the bedroom where you can find the laundry machine, the ironing board and where you can store your luggage. The outdoors of the property is absolutely amazing. A well preserved garden, with a barbecue facility and a traditional stone-oven to prepare delicious meals. A lot of tables with colorful chairs and big sun umbrellas with sunbeds are there to help you relax under the Cretan sun. All this setting is surrounded by our family's century old olive grove, that gives the property a traditional Cretan touch. After all, Cretan olive oil is considered to be the best extra virgin olive oil in the world. The area is open and spacious, perfect for a family with children, in order for the kids to play and be close to nature's environment. Finally, the view towards the sea, the olive grove and the hills around is relaxing, while a walk towards the sea is 10 minutes away. The parking space of the property can easily fit up to five cars.

Villa Anthena

We can’t emphasis enough how we throughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Athena, a very peaceful and beautiful location. Gouves is a 25 minute walk away, with a small sandy bay. There are plenty of places to eat and drink, and little local shops any anything else you may require. We would highly recommend this property

Lage

Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Tankstelle, Zugang zur Schnellstraße und zum Strand mit dem Auto schnell erreichbar, trotzdem super ruhig, außer: Einflugschneise Flughafen, insbesondere morgens reger Verkehr. Hat uns aber weniger gestört, als zunächst befürchtet. Nachmittags nicht beurteilbar, da wir da immer unterwegs waren. Während unseres Aufenthalts war nachts von ca. 23:00 Uhr bis morgens ca. 9:00 Uhr kein Flugverkehr, wirklich Totenstille. Wer sich daran nicht stört so wie wir, super Unterkunft.

Große gemütliche FeWo

Die Anlage liegt etwas versteckt (und somit schwierig zu finden) zwischen Olivenhainen. Es gibt zwar keinen tollen Ausblick und der Ort war auch nicht unser Ding, aber die Anlage ist als Basislager sehr zu empfehlen. Alles funktionierte problemlos, sowohl die Wohnung, als auch der Außenbereich sind sehr gepflegt.

Kleine Oase in der Nähe von Heraklion

Dieses moderne, komfortable und sehr saubere Ferienapartment liegt in einem wunderbaren, sehr großen und äussert gepflegten Garten. Hängematte, eine schöne Terrasse unter Bougainvillen und Außengrill luden ein, die meiste Zeit im Freien zu verbingen. Die Haushälterin empfing uns herzlich und hatte uns bereits vorab alle wichtigen Infos zukommen lassen, so dass wir diese wunderbare Oase problemlos fanden. Zum Strand im kleinen Naturschutzpark sind es nur wenige Schritte, herrliche Buchten wie die bei Malia schnell per Auto erreichbar und das Apartment ist ein perfekter Ausgangsort, um die Sehenswürdigkeiten sowie Küsten Kretas in Tagestouren kennenzulernen. Wir verbrachten in der Villa Athena eine wundervolle, erholsame Woche und können dieses Feriendomizil nur wärmstens empfehlen. Danke, insb. an Emmanuoela.

Bellissimo appartamento

Bellissimo appartamento, confortevole e spazioso.ci ho soggiornato per un mese con la mia famiglia con due bambini e tutto è stato veramente comodo:lavatrice, uno sgabuzzino dove mettere le valigie e una grande e spaziosa camera da letto.la cucina ha tutte le stoviglie ed elettrodomestici. ottime le rifiniture, dalle luci del giardino all aria condizionata(1 in camera e una nel salone) che funziona benissimo alle zanzariere alle finestre.buono il wifii anche se un po lento.il giardino è curatissimo e con grilli e cicale. Buona la posizione della casa, immersa in una oliveta a pochi minuti di auto (indispensabile) dal supermarket e dalla spiaggia (che non è raggiungibile a piedi come invece indicava l annuncio, serve l auto). La proprietaria Emanuela gentilissima, tutte le sere veniva a chiederci se ci occorresse qualcosa .peccato il mare sempre molto mosso(30giorni di onde).
