About this villa rental

Passing a small copse of Holm Oak trees where a hammock has been slung and around the corner of the villa, the view of mountains dotted with villages unfolds in all its magnificence. The pale pastel rose facade of the villa and beautiful pool at one with the serenely peaceful backdrop of rural Crete and the White Mountains, occasionally still snow topped very early in the season.

Villa Galania has been constructed in an atmospheric period style thanks to the skillful use of simple local materials. Covered balconies and terraces provide shade and respite from the heat of the sun, whilst the villa's stone faced doorways and rough hewn timbered ceilings add an authentic touch of the past. Villa Galania is furnished and equipped to a high standard and the owners really have ticked all the boxes down to the smallest detail.

Outside around the 9m x 4m pool and adjoining children's pool, there's a huge amount of living space including a smart alfresco cover dining area, a lounge area, a table soccer, plus a rusticated covered barbecue complete with Cretan oven and a small fridge for drinks.



Location

Set on a small hill above the village of Armeni and only 800 metres from Armeni village square, Villa Galania is ideally placed to enjoy the rural idyll whilst still being within reasonable walking distance of the choice of tavernas, cafenion and cafe in the village. The sandy beaches of Kalives and Kyani are just 5 minutes drive away.

Villa Galania is well placed for discovering this western side of the island, being a convenient 5 min drive to the junction to the east-west highway and thus an easy 30 min trip into Chania.

Improvements to the seating area by the pool and new parasols. The addition of handrails on the stairs was welcome. A super villa and we are already booked for 2026 There is a strong odour from the washing machine area in the second bedroom that needs to be looked into. For us it wasn't an issue but if you don't like cats that could be a problem. The 5 cats that were there in 2024 have increased to 11 and one of the females is pregnant. We spoke to Claire about this and she were aware of the situation.

All on the flat, with one set of stairs to the bedrooms. Mattress toppers in the twin bedroom please. Also, we prefer the patio chairs and not the patio settees

Enjoyed the peace and wonderful views from a variety of different spots around the grounds. The new shaded seating area was a very good addition. The sun shade was in a fixed position so there was no adjustment in accordance with the position of the sun. Previously there were two shades. A additional hand rail on the stairs would make the stairs more manageable for both young and old.
