Peace and beauty
We stayed in this lovely villa for 2 weeks September 2023. The most striking feature is the fabulous view down to the sea which the layout of the villa and its 2 large terraces accommodates perfectly.
The swimming pool is perfect and kept spotless by Olivier. The villa itself is chic and well- equipped, the beds comfortable and it is meticulously clean. One bedroom is a mezzanine above the kitchen area but was comfortable and private enough.
The le Maitres are delightful, efficient, helpful and friendly. They met us from the main road junction on the evening we arrived, to guide us up the hill behind Almyrida.
It is about 10-15 minutes from that attractive seaside village by car. Many good eating places. Chania is about 40 minutes away and has an enchanting port area. The driving up to the villa is perhaps not for the faint- hearted, the drops into the gorge below are striking and the road barriers more aspirational than actual - although the keen drivers amongst our party relished the challenge. It is only for that reason that I give 4 rather than 5 stars to the location. It is a very beautiful place and blissfully quiet.
