About this villa rental
Location
The villa is located in Akrotiri, near Monte Vardia, by the forest of St. Matthews, 5 km east of Chania. The peninsula of Akrotiri is well known for its natural beauty but also for the important historical events that took place there, offering many monuments to visit.
Considering the villa as your starting point, you will have the opportunity to visit the area attractions, but the entire island as well. During your stay it is worth navigating through Akrotiri and admire natural landscapes of extreme contrasts, beaches with green waters and beautiful sand, historical sites, monasteries and caves of infinite natural beauty, at a short distance from the villa.
The Villa
The Villa is a part of a residence group, located at an idyllic location on a cliff next to the forest of St. Matthews, at the location Monte Vardia, giving the visitors an incredible unobstructed view of the city and the Cretan Sea. It is built in plot with landscaped gardens and a lush grove with centenarian trees and a private swimming pool. It is the ideal scenery to enjoy carefree private moments under the sun, refresh yourself with a swim and gaze at the sea and the landscape helping you forget about daily routines and taste the Greek summer. The Villa’s spacious and brightful interior, tastefully decorated with luxurious furniture and unique artwork, makes it the ultimate summer resort for you to enjoy your vacation with luxury and comfort at a famous Greek island.
The Villa is built in two levels with modern design and comfy spaces. At the ground floor of the house there is a dining room, a living room with a fireplace and a big office, all in one continuous space. There’s also a fully equipped kitchen with built-in appliances and electrical devices, a master bedroom with built-in cabinets and its own bathroom, a laundry room and a small W.C. The ground floor space is surrounded by big windows which offer unlimited view. At the first floor there are two large bedrooms with their own separate bathrooms and built-in cabinets. The balconies which are at the perimeter of the building are very large and offer a unique view all year long. The Villa has a private pool surrounded by lawn, a shaped garden that offers a variety of herbs, flowers and trees and a furnished veranda with comfortable sun beds and a living room.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
This is a spacious, well maintained villa with effective air-conditioning, lovely views and a great pool. There are plenty of comfortable sunloungers, and two large umbrellas providing shade if required - robust enough to be left up permanently in the welcome breeze (so no need for faffing around lowering them and putting them up again). There was a nice selection of essentials, fruit and a lovely home made cake waiting for us arrival, and a further cake was kindly provided during our stay. There are plenty of great places to eat in the surrounding area. Diana and her family were attentive, but not at all intrusive; and they kindly let us delay our check-out until 2.00pm due to our flight time, and did their best to minimise disruption to us while gardeners and cleaners worked and provisions were restocked in preparation for the next guests. Would highly recommend.

5 / 10·May 2018
We are so thankful for the hospitality that were presented to us during our stay. Diana and her mother has been a huge help during our 3 days. This is the best experience I have had even better than hotels!The placeIt’s the type of place you have to see in person to believe in the beauty of it. Pictures does not do justice. Plenty of room around the house for our group of 7.We have literally everything we needed to cook our own meal and you have to see the view of sunrise and sunset from the balcony.The location:We were pretty close to chania so we were able to ride bicycles around the city, there are many beautiful sites to see around the area.Thank you for such a great experience!
