About The Experience
Near Chania, this Crete villa is an excellent choice for a family. In the village of Delania, older children can have the independence of wandering around and exploring on their own, not to mention a swimming pool! Hang out in the village, at this holiday villa in Crete, or visit the beach and monastery at Kolimbari. When you've had enough relaxation, leave this Crete villa rental for a day and explore Chania, a lovely Cretan city.
Location Description

This villa is located in the village of Deliana, about 500 meters from the town square. Deliana is a picturesque village in a valley filled with olive groves, and resources in town include coffee shops, three taverns, and a butcher. Not far away is the larger village of Kolimbari (or Kolymbari), whose main feature is a long pebble beach. Here there are several good restaurants and shops. This is also the location of the Gonias monastery, originating in the 13th century. The buildings date from the 17th century and are still in full use. (Visitors are welcome but shorts are not! Photos are not permitted inside.) The nearest large city is Chania, one of the most picturesque cities on the island. Sporting architecture from its Turkish and Venetian occupiers, the town is bordered by fortified walls and the waterfront, where there is a Venetian lighthouse. Shopping here is great, particularly for leather and jewelry.

Nearby Attractions: Deliana (coffee shops, taverns, butcher), Kolimbari (pebble beach, restaurants, shops, Gonias monastery), Chania.

Exterior Description
(1,500 m2) In the hands of the same family for four generations, this villa has been carefully maintained. In the midst of a large garden with fruit trees and herbs, the villa features a private swimming pool (60m2, 1.1-1.8m deep), a traditional outdoor oven, and a terrace with a view over the valley. On the left of this villa, there is another house belonging to a local family who only spend a few days a year there. On the right side of the villa are many olive trees. Because of its situation within a valley and the thick walls of the house, this villa remains cool in the hotter months. Parking space for two cars is available in front and behind the villa.
Interior Description

Customer Reviews

Overall:
We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at this villa. We made good use of the swimming pool, the outdoor bbq, and the kitchen.
Enjoyed Most:
This villa is a charming mix of comfort and character, with a beautiful view, lovely swimming pool and close proximity to a quaint and welcoming village. The owners were very warm and helpful. The villa had a number of stunning hand painted icons on the walls.
Enjoyed Least:
Not much, really. Maybe the fact that the hot water was somewhat limited for the seven of us.
Surrounding Area:
Warm, lovely people in the nearby village who served us with welcoming smiles and delicious food at The Gorge restaurant!
Nearby Events or Locales:
We were within 5 mins walk of Deliana.
Tips or Restaurants:
Pool toys if you are traveling with children. "The Gorge" in Deliana.
Directions:
Directions were fine for us. We used a GPS but were traveling with a young couple who have a keen sense of direction.
Check In Out:
Most accommodating to our "outside of the specified hours" needs.
