About this villa rental
Àrto's Villa is located about 23 km outside Chania, in the village of Plaka. Plaka is one of the most popular villages in Apokoronas, in northwestern Crete, built on a low hill with a unique, amphitheater-like view of Souda Bay.
Villa 'Arto, a tastefully decorated house, evokes feelings of intimacy and tranquility for anyone who visits it—the same feelings evoked by art, which is part of the house’s name, as well as by bread, the foundation of life, “artos” in ancient Greek. This was our intention: to create a minimalist space with unpretentious luxury and a positive aura, guaranteeing your summer relaxation and the renewal of your inner energy. In Greece, we call this summer “spending time,” or “rastoni” in Greek, and you can experience it at Àrto’s Villa all year round.
Our house features a swimming pool with plenty of outdoor space, a beautiful shady olive tree, a carob tree, and oleander trees—symbols and stories spanning centuries.
On the first floor, you’ll find a large open-concept living area and a bright, fully equipped kitchen to make you feel truly at home. Also on the first floor is a half-bath with a shower. The living room area can comfortably sleep two people.
On the first floor, you’ll find two beautiful, very bright bedrooms with ceiling fans and air conditioning—which can accommodate four guests—and a spacious bathroom. The large master bedroom features a veranda with excellent views of the sea and the surrounding area—ideal for enjoying the stunning sunset over Souda Bay.
Àrto’s Villa enjoys a prime location in the village. Situated in a quiet neighborhood, it also offers direct access on foot to the picturesque square in the village of Plaka, right next to two supermarkets, restaurants serving quality Cretan cuisine, and cafes. Just a three-minute drive or a 15-minute walk will take you to the idyllic and popular town of Almyrida, with its sandy beach and crystal-clear waters, as well as a wealth of shops, restaurants, and cafes. Everything you need for a wonderful Greek Cretan summer experience. Tranquility and activity—whichever you choose, or both.
Àrto’s Villa is a quiet base from which to explore the beautiful Apokoronas region, famous for its traditions, music, and culture in general, as well as for its natural beauty, olive groves, and opportunities for jogging and hiking along its trails.
Plaka is also a great base for exploring various nearby destinations, such as Aptera or Lake Kournas, and many other attractions, situated between the wonderful cities of Chania and Rethymno.
