About this property
Amatu Villa (Athena)
If you love the sun, sea and nature without intense human intervention and want a quiet and relaxing vacation, you are in the ideal place. Our private space is located just 3 minutes away from the beautiful long beach of Xerokampos "Mazida Ammos" in a verdant surrounding area of 5500 m2 with a simple building, fully harmonized with the landscape. You will be fascinated by the wonderful view of the property, the intense alternations and the natural beauty of the landscape as well as the simplicity and comfort of the interior space.
The apartment is comfortable, functional and stylish. There is a dining area, a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom. It is equipped with appliances and utensils to meet the requirements of your stay. Its spacious private terrace has a table and outdoor chairs and offers great views of the garden and the sea.
You can make your walk in interesting or shady corners of our garden, enjoy your drink or coffee in the large dining room, in the spacious living room or at the bar, visit our citrus garden, admire the breeze, the sounds and the lighting of the fountains and enjoy the magic of our estate in the evening.
Just 300 meters away there is a mini market and in 2 km you will find the settlement with a lot of taverns with traditional Cretan cuisine. The region has many beautiful beaches for all tastes (with fine sand, pebbles or slates) and there is also the famous beach "Argilos" for the admirers of natural spa and the salt lake of Alatsolimni. You can also visit many interesting places of archaeological interest such as the "Ancient Ampelos", "Katsounaki", "Trachilas", or the posterior chapel of St. Nicholas dating from 1895.
It is helpful to have a means of transport because there are no bus stops or taxis available in the settlement. The area is ideal for hiking and cycling. On the way, you will see many special and enchanting landscapes. Besides swimming, the place is also suitable for other sea activities such as fishing, canoeing, and water sports.
For any further information, please contact us.

Superbe séjour ! vue magnifique sur la mer !
La villa est petite mais très jolie, le jardin donne sur la mer et permet un accès facile et proche à une très belle plage abritée et encore un peu sauvage. Lieu merveilleux.
Les propriétaires sont très accueillants, endroit à recommander absolument
