The space
Standing gracefully on 3,000 square meters of gorgeous orchards and landscaped garden near Kolymvari and Chania, the three-bedroom Villa Ianira is a luxury sanctuary with stunning views of the Sea of Crete and White Mountains, offering exquisite privacy and ample space for indoor and outdoor entertainment.

The villa's unique design combines ancient elegance, contemporary lines, and cutting-edge principles of environmental harmony. The outdoor terrace features two swimming pools and wide views of the sea and islands. The swimming pool can be heated upon request (at least 3 days ahead of arrival) at an extra cost. Beside it, under the villa's eaves, the large outdoor lounge is ideal for spending long days and evenings relishing the ocean breeze. The covered alfresco dining table for eight, beside the rustic wood-burning oven and barbeque, is where you'll savor nighttime dinners and lunches in the cool shade. Beyond the terrace, amid the gardens and groves, you'll find lush lawns for sunbathing and a charming playground for children.

Indoors, under high, vaulted ceilings, the open-plan living area features a comfortable lounge surrounding a wood-burning fire place and satellite television. With the dining table beside it, ample floor space, and a sound system, the living area welcomes long dinner parties with fine Greek wine and cuisine. Through an antique archway, you'll find the fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar and splendid exposed masonry. The villa's beautiful wood floors and dreamy lighting create the ideal ambience for enjoying time together with family and friends.

The soft tones and natural light of the tastefully minimalist bedrooms will keep you cool during the day and cozy at night. The primary bedroom features a king size bed and ocean views from its windows and private balcony, as well as ensuite bathroom with stand-alone bathtub. The second bedroom has two single beds, while the third has a king. Each has an ensuite bathroom with stand-alone shower, and they share a covered terrace.

Beyond the self-contained paradise of Villa Ianira, you're just moments away from the beaches and charm of the western Cretan coast. Hop in your car and drive two minutes to Kolymarvi Beach and Kolymarvi Village, or twenty minutes to Chania, with its restaurants, bars, museums, and breathtaking architecture combining Greek, Roman, and Venetian influences.

Neighbourhood highlights

Crete is the biggest of all the Greek Islands, and as a result, has plenty to offer holiday-makers. Its natural landscape alone—with mountains for hiking, valleys lined with olive groves, and numerous beautiful beaches—could keep your vacation agenda filled for a month. Generally, the north coast of Crete experiences mild to hot weather year round, with average highs of 15 °C in the winter and 30 °C in the summer. It is important to note that due to its varying geography Crete is home to a number of differing microclimates.
