Highly rated by previous guests
Guests rave about the comfort and friendly communication during their stay.
The holiday home is located on a hill. At the foot of the mountain opposite is the listed picturesque Cretan village DOULIANA. There are still small winding streets, the traditional Kafenion and family-run taverns, which are also gladly visited by locals from the area. It is idyllically surrounded by dry stone walls, olive groves and sheep herds.
Further in the mountain village GAVALOCHORI you can experience Cretan architecture live and in the museum.
3 km further is the traditional mountain village VAMOS.
There you will find mini markets, original taverns, cafes and a popular bakery where you can get fresh rolls in the morning. A very detailed tour information will be happy to inform you. A medical center is also located there.
The beautiful landscape of the Apokorona with its White Mountains, the Levka Ori, offer a breathtaking view. In some years, the mountains are snow-covered until May.
Nearby gorges invite you to go hiking, e.g. the Samaria, Imbros or Irini Gorge.
My new personal favorite is the Myli Gorge near Rethymnon.
KALYVES, a small lively town, 5 km away, attracts both locals and holidaymakers.
There are car rental companies, a local supermarket, mini-markets, bakeries, butchers, a post office, souvenir shops and a church.
The pretty bathing bay has a sandy beach.
Another popular seaside resort 6 km away is ALMYRIDA.
Small hotels have settled in a picturesque bay, whose bathers like to watch the hustle and bustle in the cafes and taverns. The gently sloping water is particularly suitable for smaller children.
A surf and diving school can also be found here.
The lively port city of CHANIA with its lively market hall invites you to stroll through the winding streets of the Alststadt. In many cases, there is still the traditional craft of the knife and scissor grinder or carpenter. Here you can also go shopping, e.g. in Ledergasse and the central market hall. Or you can visit museums and exhibitions. A lighthouse is the landmark of the Venetian-influenced city with its mansions. The Sarazen influence can also be discovered everywhere.
At the harbor you sit in cozy taverns and restaurants and enjoy the maritime atmosphere.
This is where the youth meet and this is where the nightlife takes place.
At the expressway exit you can shop at Lidl and Sklaventidis (formerly Carrefour).
Airports: Chania 30 km or Heraklion 149 km.

Wir als Familie können gar keine andere Bewertung als 5 Sterne geben. Wir haben uns in der Villa Louisa äußerst wohl gefühlt. Alles passt, die Kommunikation mit Susanne war immer sehr schnell und freundlich, das Haus liegt in traumhafter Lage, das Haus ist ausreichend geräumig, sauber, die Küche mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig, wobei wir auch das Glück hatten, dass die wenigen umstehenden Häuser derzeit unbesucht waren. Wir haben hier jede Minute genossen und waren beseelt ab dem ersten Augenblick. In der Umgebung gibt es viel zu entdecken. Das einzige, was man wissen muss, ist, dass die Straße zum Haus wirklich extrem steil ist, aber einmal geschafft, wird man belohnt. Wir kommen gern einmal wieder. Vielen Dank, dass wir hier sein durften.

Wir hatten wunderschöne 3 Wochen in der Villa Louisa. Die Villa liegt auf einen Hügel und ist nur von 7 anderen Villen umgeben. Dadurch ist es sehr ruhig. Im 3km entfernte Ort Vamos gibt es nette Tavernen, Minimarkt, Bäcker und Sonntags ist immer ein kleiner Markt. Zum nächsten Strand nach Kalyves ist es nur 15min entfernt. Von der Villa hat man einen traumhaften Ausblick auf das Meer. In der anderen Richtung sieht man die weissen Berge. Der Pool ist sehr groß und wunderschön angelegt. Man kann bei der Villa zu jeder Tageszeit schattig auf der großzügigen Terrasse sitzen. Die Villa liegt für Ausflüge ideal gelegen. Zur Gastgeberin hat man freundlichen und schnellen Kontakt.
Wir hatten die Zeit hier sehr genossen und kommen gerne wieder :-)
