Crete Retreat Olivetree
Beach villa with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and shared pool in Akrotiri, Crete
From €140 per week
Two bedroom comfortable and relaxing villa with shared 24/7 pool set in beautiful gardens with a large pool. Located on the edge of Tsikalaria Village.
Overview
We have three villas set in 5000sq meters of gardens with a large 24/7 165sq meter swimming pool, one you can really swim in. We are located on the edge of the village of Tsikalaria, away from the main roads, and secluded, to create a quiet but not isolated base for your holiday.We provide free wi-fi so you can keep in touch. We have three dogs and cats which are allowed in the grounds but not in the houses
Being a reclaimed orange grove, all the water for the garden is supplied by the original well, giving an unusual green micro climate within the warmth of Crete. The gas barbecue with side hop on the terrace make outside cuisine a pleasure
Location
We are well placed and within easy reach of Chania with the beautiful Venetian harbour, tavernas, shops, museums and ancient atmosphere.
Our local shops and tavernas provide convenient shopping and dining. Souda, the nearby town and port offers a Carrefour supermarket and the renowned fresh fish tavernas and is just 3 km away.
Comfort and Activity
Our aim is to provide an affordable, quiet, green environment that is private but not totally isolated. We live within the grounds and provide on site management and help. From our own experience we have made a point of providing good sized air conditioned bedrooms, adequate cooking and barbeque equipment, large bath and shower rooms and raised sun terraces.
For those wanting to experience the historical aspect of Crete, the Aptera Roman settlement is only 15 minutes away and we are surrounded by archaeological sites, monasteries and museums.
For the more active holiday, there are daily excursions to walk the world famous Samaria Gorge, horse riding, wind surfing, climbing, walking, go carting, paragliding and diving.
Boat trips leave from Chania harbour and Souda ferry terminal daily. Excursions are also available to Knossos, Elafonisi, and Santorini.
The beaches around the area are plentiful, ranging from quiet and remote, to popular. Most beaches have tavernas on the beach or nearby, and all have easy free parking.
We offer a truly ideal location from which to explore this beautiful island and believe you will find peace and relaxation within your private villa, shady gardens and of course our beautiful swimming pool

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans cette villa qui constitue un point de départ idéal pour découvrir l'île. Le jardin est charmant et comporte différentes zones aménagées de telle sorte que chaque maison possède son propre espace isolé.
Bantas
Super endroit. Nous sommes très content de notre séjour et nos deux enfants (6 et 9 ans)ont été également ravis.
Plages superbes et très enrichissant sur le plan culturel. (monastère, randonnée, site minoen....)
Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques.

Although we arrived at about 1.30 am the owner was there to meet us. We had a lovely two weeks in
this secluded small deveopment, set in beautiful gardens with a large swimming pool.
A car is essential and we found nice beaches from 20 to 40 minutes drive.
After the electrics were sorted out by the owner in the first two days, we found the villa
comfortable.

Ian
Private Owner From Chania, Greece Member since Jan 2009
Twenty years ago, we finally released our dream and myself, Ian, Jeannie my wife and our two girls set off from England for our new life on the warm and sunny island of Crete. We had already purchased a plot of land with a house and one acre of orchard, delicious navel oranges. It took over a year to overcome the paperwork and legalities connected with our purchase but then we were able to start our huge project. The gardens and villas slowly took shape, each year bringing exciting changes as the trees and plants matured. The result is now three villas set in beautiful gardens. Having been to Greece on previous occasions we wanted to make the accommodation spacious. A large bathroom was a must and raised sun terraces were top priority. We wanted to create individual privacy without being isolated and a pool that you could really swim in, We are very fortunate that we are only a short distance from Chania, the principal town, and we also determined be affordably priced, a place for people to relax. We aim to create integrity and customer care. We are here, on site, for the duration of your stay to make sure everything runs smoothly for you.
