About this villa rental
Athena Elea is a recently established luxurious villa, built using our family's old stone warehouse as a basis. It carefully blends traditional elements with modern aesthetics and comfort. The interior includes 3 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a living room/dining room and a kitchen. Throughout the villa's space, modern style meets selected elements of the family's tradition, including wooden hand-crafted furniture and century old textiles made by our own great-grandmothers. The villa's 1600 sqm plot features millennium-old olive trees, a swimming pool (40 sqm) and plenty of space for relaxation and family activities. A unique feature next to the villa is a small renovated shrine, built by the owner’s grandmother in the mid-20th century.

Immaculate, modern property with exceptional outside facilities and stylish interior furnishings. The villa is ecologically friendly and extremely comfortable with efficient heating / cooling technologies and automated exterior lighting. Conveniently located for Chania, the coast and local attractions, this property provides an ideal location for enjoying western Crete. The owner, Apostolos, could not have been more welcoming and hospitable and was on hand to greet us on arrival. His gifts of fresh fruit, vegetables and family produced olive oil were greatly appreciated and having access to the villas excellent herb garden was a real bonus for anyone with an interest in cooking in the well equipped kitchen. The outside entertainment area, replete with pizza oven and BBQ, is a place to enjoy long sociable evenings and the amazing pool (one of the best I have enjoyed) is difficult to leave as the afternoon drifts into the evening. Highly recommended.

Fantastic property. Stayed with 2 families. The host could not do enough, great advice and we enjoyed picking fruit and vegetables in the garden!

We had a great 10 days in this beautiful, well equipped villa and would highly recommend.. The location is perfect for exploring the West part of the Island. We felt warmly welcomed by Apostolos and family who were very generous with lovely Cretian food gifts and having organic fruit and veg from the orchard was delightful. We were particularly impressed with the wide range of recommendations in the area from supermarkets to beaches which made our trip even more special. We did have a small issue with the internet but once Apostolos was aware, he sorted immediately. Overall an outstanding property.
