About this property

Villa Penelope – Seafront Bliss & Sunset Views

If you have ever dream about a villa holiday in blissful seclusion where you can lose all sense of time, then this unique property will prove ideal, enjoying one of the most enviable positions you are ever likely to find in Crete.

Perched on a hilltop and on the edge of the sea, the views are stupendous and its immaculate interior match its magnificent location.

The villa has two floors, each with its own private entrance into a three bedroom apartment.For all intents and purposes the two units are entirely separate and private and in our view it is also ideally suited to a larger group who may wish to rent the whole property exclusively.

The swimming pool is situated in the rocks to one side and is accessed by a common path from the house.Whether you are lounging on the terraces around the pool or relaxing on the spacious private balconies, the views are fabulous and the silence broken only by the waves against the rocky shoreline below.

The standard of the interiors is high, each apartment consists of two bathrooms one with shower, and the other with a jacuzzi bath, three good size bedrooms, one double and two twins, some bedrooms have a balcony, a spacious sitting/dining room with a fully equipped kitchen in a section off the sitting area.

The sitting room which has a fireplace, is tastefully furnished with comfortable sofas and chairs, a wide glazed window with two doors leads to a huge balcony with views that will take your breath away.Each apartment has the added convenience of a dishwasher, and a washing machine is provided in the larger of the two bathrooms.

With a constant breeze for which Crete is well known, the villa never feels stuffy and yet air-conditioning is provided in every room.

Perfect Vacation

The house was just perfect for my group of six - aged 19 to 70 years of age. George and Penelope were more than helpful in seeing to our comfort and in helping in finding wonderful places to eat. The view was magnificent and I could have stayed forever. Thank you George; It was a truly wonderful time.

Great relaxation spot

This is a beautiful apartment, in a lovely quiet location, with a great swimming pool and lovely sea views. A car is necessary to get to the nearest amenities, but everything is just a short drive away. Cleaning and pool maintenance was provided three times a week and the hosts were friendly, responsive and very helpful. Would very much recommend!

Excellent villa, amazing views!

We had a lovely family holiday at Villa Penelope. The villa was exceptionally clean and cleaned twice during our week long stay. We loved the pool area, outside seating and the amazing views. The villa is split into two three bedroom apartments and this worked well for our party of 11. There was everything we needed and our host was very responsive when we had any questions. You do need a car as there is very little within walking distance but we found some lovely restaurants a short drive away. Overall we all loved our stay and would stay again!

A Beautiful place

This villa had the most astounding views! Perched above a rocky outcrop, the sunsets every night were a delight. The expanse of the sea below was magical. The Villa was exactly as described in the listing and Giorgios and Penelope could not have been more welcoming. Their communication with us was faultless and they connected us with a wonderful man named Christos who helped us arrange activities and a chef during our stay. We would most certainly return!

Gaston Family Vacation

This was our first trip to Crete. We loved it. Penelope is a beautiful villa situated on a rocky hill that looks right down to the sea. All day and all night you can hear the waves crashing. In the evening the pool area and landscaping are lit up. Just breathtaking. The bedrooms were a good size and the bathrooms clean and new. Our hosts were very attentive to our needs although we didn’t call on them very often as we had no problems and everything worked. We would definitely stay there again. You can’t beat the location. Very quiet and peaceful in the evening as we watched the incredible sunset. Give Penelope a try. You won’t be sorry!!

Fantastisk feriehus

Et virkelig lækkert hus, med fantastisk udsigt. Huset er delt i to lejligheder; det passede perfekt til vores tur med to børn og fem unge mennesker - vi havde lejligheden nedenunder, med tre værelser, de unge havde lejligheden ovenpå, ligeledes med tre værelser. Værterne havde sørget for frugt og drikkevarer i køleskabet da vi ankom - sikke en luksus. Under vores ophold drillede den ene aircondition, det blev fixet dagen efter af en reparatør. Helt generelt svarede Giorgios rigtig hurtigt på de spørgsmål vi havde under opholdet, og var virkelig rar at snakke med. Vi vil helt klart anbefale både hus og vært til andre. PS. Vi ankom lige i tide til at nyde solnedgangen, der er fuldstændig fantastisk fra terrassen. Wow!

Der Ausblick ist phantastisch.

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit, auch wenn es für den Tisch draußen noch zu kühl war. Giorgos hat im Vorfeld an alles gedacht und sogar für uns eingekauft, weil bei unserer Anreise, durch zwei Feiertage, die Geschäfte geschlossen hatten. Vielen Dank nochmal dafür. Wir fanden im Haus alles wie beschrieben vor

Ein absoluter Traumurlaub auf Kreta – 5 Sterne sind fast zu wenig!

Wir waren Anfang April mit einer Gruppe von 8 Freunden in diesem wunderschönen Ferienhaus und sind restlos begeistert! Schon bei der Ankunft wurden wir herzlich empfangen und fühlten uns sofort willkommen. Das Haus ist super sauber, geschmackvoll und modern eingerichtet sowie perfekt ausgestattet – es hat wirklich an nichts gefehlt. Die Küche war ideal für unsere Kochabende, der Wohnbereich gemütlich, und es gab genug Rückzugsorte für alle.Das absolute Highlight war jedoch die Lage: Das Haus liegt wunderbar ruhig auf einer Felsküste mit einem atemberaubend weiten Blick über das Meer – einfach magisch! Jeden Morgen mit diesem Ausblick aufzuwachen und abends den Sonnenuntergang zu genießen, war ein echtes Geschenk. Der Außenbereich mit Garten, Grillplatz und Pool war ein Traum – sogar Anfang April konnten wir ihn schon nutzen.Die Umgebung war ruhig, aber nicht abgeschieden – charmante Tavernen, Strände und kleine Dörfer waren nur eine kurze Autofahrt entfernt. Flughafen sowie die vermutlich schönste Stadt Kretas - Chania - sind jeweils in 15-20 Minuten mit dem Auto zu erreichen.Und auch der Gastgeber verdient ein großes Lob: herzlich, hilfsbereit und immer erreichbar, wenn wir Fragen hatten oder Tipps brauchten.Fazit: Dieses Haus ist ein echter Geheimtipp für Gruppen, die Natur, Ruhe und stilvolles Wohnen mit spektakulärem Meerblick suchen. Wir kommen ganz sicher wieder!

Très beau séjour dans une très belle villa

La villa est parfaite avec une vue incroyable sur la mer. Les couchers de soleils sont également magnifiques. La piscine est très propre et exposée en plein soleil toute la journée. La villa est bien équipée et propre. Les chambres sont également bien et les lits confortables. L'hôte a été très sympathique, nous a accueilli et donné de bonnes adresses près de la villa et était disponible en cas de soucis. A savoir, la villa est assez excentrée et il y a de la route à faire pour pouvoir visiter la Crète. Mais le cadre en vaut la peine.

Incredible destination, amazing property

No complaints at all, just a 15 min drive from the Chania airport. A little remote from the highway and shopping so maybe not the best option if you plan to explore Crete. But the destination is uniquely beautiful. The private pool is amazing. Watching sunsets from the patio is incredible and memorable. Amazing property!

Die Villa zeichnet sich durch die grandiose schöne Lage direkt am Meer aus. Der Ausblick und der Sonnenuntergang sind fantastisch. Wenn das Meer ruhig ist, kann man auch direkt unterhalb schwimmen.
