Idyllic Hillside Villa with Salt Water Private Pool

Stone house with private salt water pool and shady dining area which sits alone, on the hillside above Stylos with far reaching sea and mountain views from the Aptera Fortress to Cape Drapanos. Inside, traditional stone and wood has been given a light decorative touch and with the addition of a modern sofa and good quality beds this is now a comfortable holiday Villa, just perfect for two or a family of four. Location Stylos The village of Stylos is just over 2 kms downhill, where there are two mini markets selling basic provisions as well as several very authentic Cretan tavernas (we ate the most delicious hortarina kaltisounia, the little pies filled with mountain greens, at the Faraggi Taverna). Enroute to the beach side village of Kalyves, an approx. 10mins drive, the road passes though village of Armeni where there are few more tavernas, a little shop that sells fresh cheese and meat plus a baker who delivers to the cafeneon in the square.

For stays of 14 nights or more - bed linen will be changed every 7 days. Pool/beach towels - one per person for the duration of your stay. Parking - There is ample parking. Note - If guests here are fortunate enough to be staying during one of the infrequent occasions when the Dimitra Kentro (a wedding and baptism venue on the opposite side of the valley) is hosting a celebration, they will be extended a warm invitation to take a table, enjoy a meal and join in the festivities - a rare opportunity to experience some famous Cretan hospitality with music and the locals ’kicking up their heels’. Greek celebrations often continue into the early hours but any sounds drifting across the valley to the Villa can be firmly kept out with closed windows and air con running.
