2 double bedrooms. Sleeps a maximum of 4 persons. Beachside Villa is newly built and is set on a terraced hillside in the area of Kalives known as Kalives and it has a private parking space on the track just outside the front door. It is a particularly pretty modern villa with traditional Greek touches and finished to a very high standard. The exterior is painted a lovely shade of pale buttermilk and has Wedgewood blue pergolas, windows and doors. The English owners have created a very attractive home with many modern comforts such as a fully fitted, very well equipped kitchen which includes: a ceramic hob, a built-in oven, a microwave oven, a dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster and a beautiful marble effect breakfast bar and stools; a fully tiled bathroom and cloakroom, a utility cupboard which houses the washing machine, iron and ironing board; satellite TV, a DVD player, in the lounge; blue aluminium doors, window frames and shutters; and air conditioning units in the bedrooms and living area. The a/c units also double up as heaters for the cooler nights at the start and end of the season. The water is heated by either solar panel or a back-up immersion heater. The furnishings at Beachside Villa are particularly tasteful and are very comfortable – this is not your average holiday home. Diaphanous curtains with tie-backs, silk cushions, modern floral paintings, and vibrant bed covers are just some of the elegant touches in the villa. The cream leather sofas, marble table tops, and matching blonde wood furniture and built-in wardrobes give the villa a very light and airy feel. This is enhanced by the villa’s position so close to the water that ensures that it enjoys the cool sea breezes during the hot summer months. The Piano shaped, mosaic tiled pool is set just 9 steps below the living room balcony. The pool is shared with 3 other villas but these are holiday homes that are infrequently occupied. For larger families or groups who like to holiday together but still value their privacy, in 2010 Beachside Villa can be rented in oonjunction with Kalives Sands Villa which is next door and almost identical(coming soon to this website). In addition to the sea facing balconies, Beachside Villa has a small courtyard area that is decorated with plants in terracotta pots and has a table and chairs. This courtyard area is bathed in sun first thing in the morning but then is shady for the rest of the day. We highly recommend Beachside Villa for its unique position above the beach with gorgeous views of the village and Souda Bay and yet within easy walking distance to the beach, shops and tavernas in Kalives .

The Pool Terrace (9 steps from the living area level). The shared mosaic tiled pool is piano shaped and 36m2. The pool terrace is equipped with sun-beds and umbrellas and looks out over the beach to the bay. LocationThe village of Kalives has long been a popular destination for holiday makers seeking a typically Greek seaside resort that has many amenities, but is far removed from brash tourism. Kalives stretches along 4 kilometres of sandy beaches, and the narrow main street is lined with old white washed houses. Two rivers join the sea at Kalives , and there is a traditional fishing boat harbour at the eastern end of the village. There is an abundance of excellent tavernas and cafes lining the seafront, and there are shops of every description including 3 large supermarkets, 2 bookshops, many gift shops, 5 clothes shops, 3 organic fruit and vegetable shops, 2 chemists, 3 bakeries, 3 butchers and a laundry. The village is also the home of a number of talented artists, and the only traditional barrel maker who is left in the area (a great place to go for a wine tasting visit). Three kilometres away in Almyrida , there is a water sports centre which rents out kayaks, windsurfers and catamarans, and the Villas Crete Holidays Tourist Office that is owned and run by Frankie Miles. A few minutes by car from the villa, there are a huge variety of archaeological sites and traditional villages with wonderful tavernas. There is also an interesting selection of small craft centres and museums, including glass blowing in Kokkino Horio , lace makers in Gavalohori , and silk makers in Kalamitsi . For those of you looking for even more activity, the historic town of Chania is only 25 minutes away by car. Villa amenities
Rental PricesAll prices shown are per Villa, per Week, in Euros. Not per person! These prices include a free Welcome Pack and a free copy of the essential guide book, “Crete on the Road” by Frankie Miles.
F.A.QAny steps? How many? 8 steps from the parking area into the villa, 17 steps from the ground floor to the first floor, 9 steps from the villa to the pool terrace. How private? The villa is set within the village and is therefore not especially private. The pool area is shared with 3 other neighboring maisonettes/villas – all of which are holiday homes and not in use very often. Nearest neighbour? The next door maisonette that is set just below Beachside Villa. Almyrida beach and facilities are within easy walking distance, and there is a limited bus service into Chania , but we recommend car hire in order to explore the varied regions of the area. |
