About this villa rental

A sophisticated and charming Villa with the extravagant addition of an indoor *heated jacuzzi pool on the lower level, the true worth of Villa Amvrosia is in its matchless outside space. A gorgeous L shaped pool is set into the beautifully furnished deck which, thanks to its hillside setting, is built at treetop level with views of the village of Stylos perched on the lower slopes of the dramatic White Mountains.

A second, lower deck is set in a small copse and furnished with table tennis, hammock and a swing seat beside a spacious fully equipped barbecue kitchen and dining area.

The villa's landscaped gardens have been chiseled out of the stony Cretan hillside and there’s even a pretty aviary holding a host of small birds at the entrance.



Location

Villa Amvrosia sits on a hillside on the edge of the small and charming village of Armeni where there is a choice of tavernas, a coffee shop, minimarket and butcher/deli. There are deliveries of fresh, locally baked bread to the small cafenion of Michael's in the centre.

Just 4.3 kms away, the low key seaside resort of Kalyves has lovely shallow shelving sandy beaches and a good choice of tavernas by the waters edge. Beyond Kalyves is the next seaside village of Almyrida which again has shallow waters and sandy beaches plus numerous tavernas and cafes.

Chania Venetian Harbour is easily reached, approx 20kms away.

Location, general cleanliness, not being overlooked, peaceful. Make sure there is no infestation of ants in the kitchen before clients arrive (it took a week to get this sorted). Fix the decking by the pool - there were protruding screws and loose planks. Restore bug screen balcony so aircon does not need to be used so much to cool down inside. Restore normal seats in outside pergola as the new benches are too deep to be comfortable. Ensure all umbrellas are operational by the pool. Personally the indoor pool is better with normal and not salt water.

Great service and communication. Loved the pool and all the space around the property. Stunning views and wonderful location. Well appointed villa and lovely to be secluded and quiet. We had a fantastic stay and would recommend this beautiful villa. We love Crete One of the parasols by pool was slightly broken and rather small. The sun was intense so another large parasol would have been better - 3 parasols needed.

Everything, apart from the two small issues mentioned. The door to the en-suite bathroom is missing. Asking visitors to take their rubbish to the dumpsters in the village at the end of the stay is not very welcome when the hire car is full to the seams with people and luggage.

- Once again Villa Amvrosia delivered all we could have hoped for.A comfortable villa set in rural countryside with only the sounds of the country to disturb the peace. Carefully and intelligently designed for both sun and shade lovers. The pool and its surrounds is a delight and the views of the mountains spectacular. Just wonderful and when coupled with the generosity of the hosts truly splendid, I just wish it could have been longer. Some of the pool surrounds (decking and fences) are starting to reach the end of their life and need replacement,
