Maybe this is our favourite villa where we have stayed so far. Not because of its size or its flashy interior, but because of its tranquility, its fantastic views, the outdoor spaces and the privacy that the villa offers. Villa Maria has three bedrooms and it is on quite a large territory which is fenced and not overlooked by other houses. The distance to the village square with all the restaurants and the supermarkets is around one kilometer.

Downstairs you find a large open space with the living room (with books, television, dvd player and dvd's), kitchen and dining table and chairs. There is also a downstairs shower room with a shower, a toilet and a washing machine and there is a twin bedroom with a large private balcony. The living room leads out to a very large covered terrace with a table and chairs and to the pool which is of a good size and has Roman steps for easy access.

A staircase from the living room leads to the second floor where you will find two more bedrooms and a bathroom with bath and toilet. The master bedroom with its double bed has sliding doors to a huge terrace with a beautiful view over the green area of Apokoronas and over Souda Bay. Here is another table with chairs. A lovely place to have a glass of wine in the evening and watch the sunset. In the distance you can see the planes landing and flying out that visit Chania Airport. Also from the hall there is another door leading to this terrace. During the day there are places where you can sit in the sun or in the shade. The other room is a twin bedroom with two single beds. This room also has sliding doors to its own private terrace.

Our friend Frankie Miles manages this property and actually we book almost all of our villas at her Travel Agency. In total Frankie has around 80 villas in her portfolio.
