About this property

Spacious, Good Privacy, a Gorgeous Sea View, ideal for groups or large families.

Originally built in 2001 and renovated in 2011, the Prinolithos villa stands proudly on the highest point of these privately owned grounds. The stone and gravel decorated driveway leads the length of the way from the property's green gate to the villa's front door passing a small cedar tree forest, well-kept gardens with rose-bushes, herbs, flowers, vineyards and lush lemon and pomegranate trees.

The villa, which can accommodate up to 10 people, is made up of an open-plan kitchen and living area, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large outdoor furnished balcony, an independent poolside guesthouse (sleeps four and has its own small kitchen and bathroom), built-in barbecue, a table tennis table (ping-pong), and an infinity swimming pool.

A 200 year old mill-stone, used in the past to grind wheat and other grains, decorates the villas main entrance door and sets the tone of what lies just beyond. The traditional, village-style open plan kitchen and living room with fireplace instantly make you feel at home. Large wooden doors lead out to a very spacious furnished balcony with views to the swimming pool, olive trees and the beach of Almyrida.

On this same level one will find two bedrooms and one bathroom with a bathtub and a washing machine. The one bedroom has a double bed and balcony doors which lead out to the large balcony overlooking the pool, the other has two single beds (which can be joined) and with balcony doors leading out to the villas entrance patio.

The third bedroom is on the top floor with wooden stairs that lead up into it (there is no door). There are two single beds on the upper level; traditionally decorated with wooden floors, high wooden ceilings, a chest, quaint windows, a computer area and another small en-suite bathroom (with shower).

At poolside level, villa Prinolithos also features a guesthouse; ideal for those who wish to holiday with you while still maintain privacy away from the main house or even for you to make use of this extra kitchen, living and rest area- an extra convenience by way of its proximity to the swimming pool.

This poolside guesthouse has an independent entrance, an open plan kitchenette and living area with two sofas (which can be made up as two single beds), a partially separated sleeping area with two single beds and a small bathroom with shower.

Use of the guesthouse is always a given (regardless of the number of persons staying at the villa).

The uniquely shaped infinity swimming pool, decorated with mosaic and stones collected painstakingly by the owners themselves and surrounded by almond and oak trees, measures 50sqm with depths from 1.1m to 1.9m. The areas around the pool include the furnished terrace, outdoor shower, pergola, sun loungers and umbrellas.

An interesting characteristic of Prinolithos villas is the grape press located on the villa's grounds. This is a large permanent stone structure where the grapes are placed into after harvest and the owners stand on the grapes to begin the process of making village wine and grape essence.

There are also a couple of mountain bicycles available so that you may ride along the mountain pathways, and the owner kindly supplies pool and beach towels.


*** As of January 01, 2024, the Greek government have replaced the old “bed tax” with a new tax that is applied to all stays in short-term rental accommodation in Greece. The Climate Resilience Levy is a response to the devastating forest fires and floods that Greece has experienced in recent years, with the government hoping to generate extra funding that will go towards financing reconstruction, supporting victims, and increasing the country’s defences against future natural disasters.

The owners of all short-term rental accommodation are legally obliged to collect the Climate Resilience Levy as a separate tax for all overnight stays (per villa) as follows:
€10.00 per night on stays between March 01 and October 31, and €4.00 per night on stays between November 01 and February 28/29.

Whilst we understand the potential budget concerns of our guests, this tax/levy is beyond our control and we encourage our guests to see this as a way of contributing to the protection of the planet and the beautiful area where they are holidaying.

The Vrbo/Abritel/Fewo system does not yet have a section for collecting the Climate Resilience Levy and we have, therefore, had to add it to the billing section as a Host Fee (until Vrbo update their system).

Lovely Villa
Wonderful Villa with a view you could never get tired of. Great setting/ grounds and pool. Villa was very clean and tidy- house keeping part way through the week was a bonus to replace linen and towels. Down side was that there wasn’t much in the kitchen cupboards such as oil, herbs, vinegar etc but there was a couple of dishwasher tabs, two washing machine tabs, some milk, sachets of jam, sugar, pepper and salt oh and a bottle of wine which was great. Take your own inflatables as there are none there (although we did leave our doughnut!) Handy for Chania airport and day trips out. Overall a wonderful Villa that you can enjoy with family and friends.

Location location location!!!
This villa has one of the best views out there truly stunning!!! We travelled as a geoup of 8, two families of 4. The villa catered for us really well as theres enoight room for the two familes to have their own space if they wish. The main villa consists of a 2 x twin rooms and 1 x king. Personally i think the king room should be on the upper floor (that room also has an onsuite), but thats maybe my personal opinion, others may disagree. You then have a main bathroom, front room and kitchen. Off the front room and kitchen youll find a massive verander, which is truly awesome for entertaining. It has two seperate seating areas and overlooks the most wonderful view. Its spectacular at night! The pool was large enought for the 8 of us, eith plenty of seating and loungers. Ive marked the cleanliness down by one star, as unfortunately they werent able to fully clean the villa midweek due to issues with the cleaning team. This wouldnt be the norm, just an unfortunate event whilst we visited. The villa was beautifully clean when we arrived. The property is located between two villages, vamos and Gavalohori. Gavalohori is very pretty, and a fairly steep 2km walk down the hill. Its got a shop and some resturants. Vamos is around the same distance, but an easier walk. It also contains shops and restaurants. I thoight vamos was the more useful, Gavalohori was more pretty. In both cases, unless youre fit and adventurous, id suggest driving or taxis. All in all stunning

Great place for family and friends
Lovely villa, spacious and clean. Great for large groups, able to give teens their own space. Quiet and not overlooked. First time renting a villa, would definitely do it again.

it was a beautiful vila with a lovely view - my only concern was the drive up to park, which was very steep.
