The quaint hamlet of Kambia has magnificent uninterrupted views of Souda Bay, olive and pine covered hills and valleys, and the White Mountains which are snow capped for 6 months of the year. The Sunset Villas, Villa Sarah and Villa Eleni, are located at the highest point in Kambia with one of the most enviable vantage points on Crete. Nestled on a terrace cut into the mountainside, the land drops away below the villas which allows for an exceptional setting for the entire property. The last 250m of the access road is winding and quite steep in places but the dramatic views and glorious sunsets make it more than worthwhile.

The Sunset Villas have been carefully furnished and equipped to a high specification as quality second homes for their English owners, and are therefore not a typical “holiday let”. The quality and comfort will appeal to the escapists amongst you who are looking for a rural retreat with panoramic views, yet only 6 minutes by car to an excellent selection of tavernas, shops and sandy beaches. The detached, split-level villas are separated by a 15 metre private and gated driveway. Their close proximity lends itself beautifully to larger parties, but equally when required, the thoughtful design and positioning ensures maximum privacy when sunbathing and swimming – each villa has its own sea facing terrace and infinity pool set on opposing sides of the property.

The interior of Villa Eleni is just as lovely as the outside surroundings and every effort has been made to ensure that you have a relaxing and comfortable holiday. The light and airy living room and master bedroom suite each have double doors that open out onto the pool and dining terraces. Magical views are revealed when the shutters are opened in the morning. A traditional stone archway leads though from the living room and dining area into the very well equipped modern kitchen, which in turn leads up a small flight of stairs to a hallway with doors to the bedrooms and main bathroom. The elegant décor throughout is predominantly pale cream coloured wood and wrought iron furniture with pretty pale green and cream accessories including candles, cushions, hurricane lamps, and bedding.

The many modern comforts include a fully fitted kitchen which has matching stainless steel appliances such as: a ceramic hob, a built-in oven, a microwave oven, a dishwasher, and a washing machine; satellite TV, a stereo system, MP3 player, I-Pod dock, and a DVD player in the lounge; fully tiled modern bathrooms, aluminium doors, windows and shutters, mosquito screens, and air conditioning units in the bedrooms and living room. The a/c units also double up as heaters for the cooler nights at the start and end of the season and there is under-floor heating which makes the villa ideal for winter lets. The water is heated either by solar panel or a back-up immersion heater. The thoughtful owners have even supplied a selection of books, CD’s, DVD’s, a hairdryer and a torch.

On the long, hot summer days that Crete is famous for the pool terrace at Villa Eleni often enjoys a much needed cooling breeze thanks to its elevated position, and it has been furnished with sun-beds and umbrellas, poolside drinks tables, and a barbeque. Adjacent to the pool terrace is the dining area which is equipped with a wrought iron and mosaic tiled dining table and matching cushioned chairs. Shaded by a cypress wood pergola, this is the perfect place for al-fresco dining whilst looking out over the sparkling blue bay during the day or the twinkling lights from the coastline below at night. In keeping with the gorgeous location, apart from a number of flower beds and clay pots planted with bougainvillea, yukka palms, chrysanthemums, bottlebrush plants, hottentot fig, cyclamen, margarita daisies and an lemon and nectarine trees,, the land surrounding the villas has been left in its natural state with rocky outcrops interspersed with almond trees, olive trees, and an infusion of wild flowers in the spring.

Location

The organic taverna at the famous glass blowing workshop in Kokkino Horio is only 2.1km from The Sunset Villas and has sea and mountain views. During the day you can watch recycled glass being blown in the traditional manner into amazingly beautiful products including lampshades, ornaments, decanters, plates and bowls. 100m further into Kokkino Horio is the family-run taverna on the main square that is shaded by weeping willow trees, has delicious food, and very friendly owners (Zacharias and his son Yiannis) who know everything about the village and the surrounding area. During the summer months there are occasional live Cretan music nights at the taverna, which are a lot of fun. Kokkino Horio (“red village” in Greek) was the main village set for the film “Zorba the Greek”. There are little whitewashed houses and narrow streets that wind around the village centre. Plaka Square is just 2.6km away and has 3 excellent tavernas, 3 well stocked mini markets, a sweet shop, and 5 cafes. 10 minutes away by car is the lovely village of Almyrida which is built around a crescent shaped sandy beach. The beach is very shallow and safe, which is good news if you have children or are not a strong swimmer. Lining the beach are many excellent tavernas, cafes and shops. Also in Almyrida there is a water sports centre which rents out kayaks, windsurfers and catamarans and the Villa Crete Holidays Tourism Office owned and run by Frankie Miles. For those of you looking for even more activity, the historic town of Chania is only 45 minutes away by car.
