About this cottage rental
My accommodation is in Astrikas, a small mountain village with about 150 inhabitants, near Kolymbari. You will love my accommodation because of the great view and the unlikely calm. My accommodation is well suited for couples, adventurers traveling alone and furry friends (pets) are also welcome.
Astrikas is a small village with about 150 inhabitants. It is set amongst acres of olive groves at an altitude of 200 meters just southwest of the larger coastal town of Kolymbari. Astrikas is known for its Biolia Olive Oil factory, where organic and high quality olive oil is produced. The views from the grounds of the factory on the back side is over the enchanting landscape and the very interesting village of Rokka and its excavations (this needs to be seen, gorgeous!).
You will love my accommodation because of the awesome view and the improbable peace.
The large elevated terrace with two sunbeds offers endless time of relaxation in your own private zone. You will enjoy your meals on the comfortable sitting and dining area with amazing views from it over the enchanting landscape.
Inside the house you will find a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable bathroom with schower, WC and bidet and a spacious bedroom.
The location is ideal for exploring North-Western Crete combining peaceful rural living with close proximity to beautiful beaches and the venetian port of Chania.

the property is large and has great facilities. perfect for a couple , i really loved this place and can't complain as its great value for money and well worth the drive from the coast. Vrbo mistrakenly placed the property drop pin in the town of Kolymbari but was infact 15 minutes in land from the location they stated, this really inconvenienced us as we had family staying in the town and needed to be nearby , this was Vrbo's fault , not the property owner and will be making a complaint to them . the Property owner was pleasant to deal with and helpful and my only complaint would be that i had to contact someone else to get the key to the property but was not getting messages / calls back on whatsapp so felt a bit stranded at 1am with no key to the place, would have been easier if they had a security box and provide me a code to get the key myself as its not a good system to rely on neighbour/ friends to meet up on arrival . apart from that every thing was very good. i would actually stay again since its such a lovely accommodation and amazing location in the hills.

This is a wonderful cottage nestled in the hills of Crete surrounded by olive trees. The place is immaculately clean, and comes with plentiful amenities such as a full kitchen, a washing machine, an outdoor shower, and AC in the bedroom. The AC worked extremely well to keep the bedroom cool even though it was 95+F during the week. The kitchen was great with everything you could want (fridge/freezer/stove/etc). I didnt use it as I was eating out.
I booked this place thinking it was closer to downtown Kolymbari...I'm new to VRBO and didn't realize the pin shown for the property on VRBO is not the actual location. I was attending a conference at the Orthodox Academy of Crete in Kolymbari which was a 20 minute drive through the mountains. I realize now the description does mention it's location in the hills (but I didn't know what that meant at that time) and I should have clarified this before booking. So my only negative was that it was not closer to Kolymbari and the OAC.
I think this would be a great base of operations on Crete, but a car would be required to get around.

We arrived on Wednesday 6th of September. We collected the rental car and headed towards our destination. We had already been advised by the owner that we would be met at the start of the village by her representative Michalis. The owner had already given coordinates and Michalis contact number.
When we arrived at the village we rang him and he duly met us. Michalis guided us up to the property and shown us around.
The villa is absolutely gorgeous. The back drop of the mountains in the distance is just perfect. The village was peaceful.
Inside there was loads of finishing to cater for all your needs.
Loads of patio to sunbathe in, sun beds! This villa is just lovely. Washing machine etc, air con!
Having lived in Corfu & Kefalonia we was use to mingling with the locals as we use to live in a local enclosed village.
If you are looking for isolation, peace and quiet with the mountains as your back drop, then take a look at this Villa.
Myself and my wife loved everything about it.
Nigel & Jaqs.
