About this property

Gem of a Boutique Villa, spectacular sea & mountain views.

This is a gem! Modern, detached boutique villa perched on top of a hill, in the charming hamlet of Kokkino Chorio. Take in expansive sea views over Souda bay and a dramatic mountain view. Villa Louisa is uniquely positioned to offer you both a family oriented holiday, close to child friendly beaches or a romantic hideaway with access to remote beaches and hidden gastronomic delights.

Villa Louisa is a two bedroomed Villa, that sleeps 4. Both bedrooms have unrestricted
sea views, with direct access to the garden and shared pool. Feel at home in the elegance and simplicity of this Villa. Relax by the pool, go for country walks, enjoy local food within walking distance at the tavern on the square.

Kokkino Chorio has a small village mini market within walking distance from the villa. The village square has a pretty Cretan church that set the scene for the movie, Zorba the Greek.
The Villa is fully equipped, with two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and lounge area. Private parking, a well maintained garden and shared use of a huge sparkling pool. Villa Louisa is uniquely positioned to enjoy a relaxing Greek holiday but close enough to other villages to explore the nightlife.

Plaka and Drapanos are a short drive away. Both have tavernas and mini markets with locally grown produce, Cretan olives and olive oil, artisan honey and Cretan mountain herbs. If you are a foodie, spend time exploring the markets for local cheeses and other artisanal products.

Almyrida is an accessible beach resort and child friendly, there are a number of quality restaurants to choose from and it has a low key nightlife. Kalyves is 5 minute’s drive from Almyrida with more shops and restaurants to choose from. Enjoy a pizza on the beach at our favourite Italian restaurant - Il Forno. Both Kalyves and Almyrida are Blue Flag accredited beaches, offering an array of water sports such as scuba diving, snorkelling or wind surfing.
