The perfect marriage of authenticity and luxury, Villa Venus sits a stones throw from perfect white sand and crystal clear waters. Nestled amongst olive groves in five acres of private land, the villa offers stunning views and an outdoor seating area that has to be seen to be believed.  A wooden promenade stretches out from double doors on the first floor. Saunter along barefoot as you listen to the sounds of the sea. Spot your private infinity pool down to the left, twinkling lights of the coastline to your right. As you reach the end of the decking you’ll find a covered seating area with a spectacular view of the perfect turquoise ocean. The view is truly remarkable, this is the perfect spot to enjoy some drinks before dinner, watch the sunset or curl up with a good holiday read. Set over three floors, the sun-kissed villa benefits from heaps of natural light. On the top floor you’ll find the main living space with high wooden ceilings, welcoming wooden floors, huge windows and beautiful stone walls. A huge and comfortable corner sofa looks out over the ocean. At the other end of the room you’ll find the dining table and fully equipped kitchen furnished in a rosy pink. Step out the glass double doors onto the balcony to enjoy your meals al fresco. The pale stone walls run through the entire villa, ensuring that each room feels filled with light. On the lower floors, each of the five bedrooms are elegantly minimal and gently lit, with choice furnishings that complement the space. Bathrooms are beautifully designed and of high-spec, allow yourself to relax completely under waterfall showers. In the unlikely event you choose to stay indoors, Villa Venus has loads to do for you and the kids. There’s video games, board games, a DVD player, a great music library as well as table football and a ping-pong table in the playroom. Moving outside, there’s much to be enjoyed besides the ocean deck - the obvious pièce de résistance. Private gardens surround the villa and the swimming pool (which can be heated on request). Lounge the days away on the sunbeds by the pool or take respite from the sun and take a relaxing dip as you gaze out over the sea. The nearest beach is picture perfect and it’s just five minutes’ walk away. Dip your toes in the sparkling water, enjoy deliciously simple lunches at the café or indulge in Cretan delicacies at the beach restaurant.

It has an excellent location in walking distance to the beach and amenities, whilst the picturesque town of Chania, with its famous Venetian port, is only a short 20 minutes car journey away. Chania, located on the northwestern coast of Crete, is a destination rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. One of the most iconic experiences in Chania is exploring its Old Town, where narrow, cobbled streets wind past Venetian, Turkish, and Greek architecture. The Venetian Harbor, with its 16th-century lighthouse and bustling waterfront, is perfect for a leisurely stroll or a meal at one of the many seaside restaurants. The Archaeological Museum of Chania and the Maritime Museum offer a deeper insight into the region's history, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts. For those who love nature, a hike through the Samaria Gorge is an unforgettable adventure. Located about 42 kilometres from Chania, this 16-kilometer gorge is one of the longest in Europe and offers breathtaking scenery, including steep cliffs, rare plant species, and glimpses of the native kri-kri (wild goat). After the hike, visitors often relax on the shores of Agia Roumeli, a secluded beach at the end of the gorge. Chania is also known for its stunning beaches. Elafonissi Beach, famous for its pink sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, is a serene spot ideal for swimming and sunbathing. Similarly, Balos Lagoon, located on the Gramvousa Peninsula, captivates visitors with its white sand and shallow, warm waters, making it a family-friendly option. Both beaches are a short drive or boat ride from Chania and are among the most beautiful in Crete. Terms & Conditions: Arrival time? 15.00 Departure time? 10.00 Linen & towels included?
