About this property

Villa Afrati

Sea and mountain Views from each of three terraces capture the very essence of Crete; the comings and goings of the occasional ferry boat, hilltops capped by sparkling white villages and mountains rising dreamily in the distance. A totally modern Villa, Afrati has been constructed and decorated using the best of Cretan tradition, with gleaming wood beamed ceilings and wood furnishings. A few individual villas scatter the hillside on which the Villa is built, from which privacy is maintained behind tree lined, stone walls.

Location - https://www.freelancevillas.com/almyrida-villas/
1 km uphill from the sandy sweep of pretty https://www.freelancevillas.com/almyrida-villas/, with its tavernas almost on the sand itself, the village of Plaka, has a mini market and some very good tavernas whose tables and chairs spill out onto the square, bringing it to life in the evenings.

Chania Venetian Harbour is 25 kms away and Rethymnon 40 kms both towns worth a visit day or night.

Wonderful villa with great view of the sunset
The villa is conveniently located with supermarkets and restaurants located just 3 minutes drive away. A nice bakery for danish and donuts is a further 3 minutes drive away. The villa is nicely located to venture further afield. The villa is well equipped with everything you need. It is a great size for 6 people. There is space to eat inside or outside dependant on the weather. The rooms are all nice sized with plenty of room. The beds are comfy. The view from upstairs balcony is amazing and is a nice place to chill and watch the sunset. The cleaners visit every 3-4 days and they do a great job. The freelance villa team is only a phone call away (WhatsApp) and response is very quick. We had a couple of minor things (bedside lamp not working and internet connection) that needed to be attended to. Between the freelance villa team and the owner, it was resolved very quickly. We had a great time and we will definitely use the villa again next time we visit Crete.

Lovely Villa in great location
The Villa has everything you need for a family holiday. The pool & sea views are stunning. Beds are comfortable (which is a nice to have in Crete). Nice welcome pack on arrival and also met the owner who is super proud of his Villa. Management company are also great and we use Freelance every year & will use again.

Nice Villa with very nice pool
The pool Everything else. While one appreciates the need to minimise windows in this climate, the villa feels dark and enclosed inside. The electric gate was very temperamental and not being able to leave the dishwasher running while outside seems unnecessarily complex. The use of Touchstay guides feels like a retrograde step. There is some villa-specific content, but most looks generic to Crete. The nearby restaurants section is particularly unhelpful you have to look at each one’s details then the map, then Google maps to find out how far they are.

Perfect for a multigenerational family
This villa is perfectly laid out. All the bedrooms are en-suite and fairly self-contained. One bedroom is on the ground floor with its own access to the pool which meant that our late teens could enjoy considerable autonomy, with the younger child having his own bedroom upstairs. Amazing views from every window and seating point. The location is between two villages with easy access to their shops and restaurants, also good for walks in the hills on less sunny days. We will definitely return. The villa guide doesn't mention the charming village of Kokkino Chorio, its Zorba the Greek connection and the lovely Ioannis Taverna with amazing sunset views. I thought this was an omission, unless you are trying to minimise visitors to the village? It's actually closer to the villa for shopping and we found it more interesting than Plaka. The glass blowing shop (which does get a mention in the sightseeing) is within walking distance too.
