About this property
Large private apartment in a traditional Greek village with stunning views.
The ‘House in the Sun’ is a large well equipped 55sqm apartment with 180 degree views of the foothills of the white mountains.
Located on the edge the sleepy village of Paidohori, the house is 15 minutes from the lovely sandy beach resorts of Kalyves and 20 minutes from Almyrida.
The nearest mini market, pharmacy and taverna are in Agioi Pantes which is a very short drive - or a longer stroll away.
The apartment has a well equipped full sized kitchen, generous double bed and a large living area which has a single sofa bed and/or a travel cot for additional guests if required, and a separate modern shower room and toilet. The apartment has a TV, DVD and Wifi.
The solar-heated salt water swimming pool is shared with the property owners.
Heating in the winter and air conditioning in the summer are available if required.
Guests have sole use of a large private patio and a shaded seating area with amazing views.
The owners have several cats who enjoy greeting guests.
There are many interesting and varied walks around the area, along the coast, inland on the plains, or for the more adventurous into the mountains, all with stunning views and varied wildlife.
Several important archaeological sites are within easy reach by car.
Chania, the picturesque Venetian city with its historic harbour is a fabulous place to visit and stroll around the old town then eat by the waterfront or up the hidden side streets. It is only 30 minutes away by car or bus.
The village of Paidohori is situated between Chania and Rethymno. Chania airport is approximately 45 minutes away, and Heraklion airport is under 2 hours. We are 2-3 minutes from the Agioi Pantes junction on the national road.
There is public transport from Chania and Rethymno to Agioi Pantes on the national road where there is a taxi rank, however we would recommend guests hire a car.
The price includes a welcome pack of some bakery products, a selection of 'in season' local fruit, milk, tea and coffee to make your first morning breakfast a relaxing experience,
The English owners live upstairs in a separate apartment.
From 1st January 2025 we are required by the Greek government to collect 8 euros per night 'Climate Resilience Levy' on your arrival. However, from January 1st 2026 we have chosen to pay this on your behalf, meaning that there will be no extra charges on arrival.

L'appartement de Kathie et Chris est top tout comme eux qui sont attentifs et gentils. La maison est au calme avec une vue magnifique sur la campagne. La piscine est le gros point fort de l appartement. On peut y lézarder paisiblement dans une eau a 30 en plein mois de juillet. La terasse est tres sympa pour les repas. A l interieur on retrouve tout l essentiel pour passer de bonnes vacances à deux, c'est efficace (manque peut-être un lave vaisselle). Dernier point et non des moindres, la maison est habitée par plusieurs chats adorables, qui apprécient la compagnie des vacanciers. La localisation est idéale pour visiter l'ouest de l'île (en voiture !)

This was a fantastic stay and the listing couldn't be more accurate. We stayed for 8 nights and it was our first holiday with our 5 month old baby.Kathie and Chris are great hosts. They really made us feel at home and went through everything with us when we arrived which put us at ease for the week and made us fully familiar with how to live comfortably during our stay.The views are stunning. The sunrises in particular were breathtaking given the apartment sits on an eastern facing hill. Kathie and Chris have done an incredible job with the design of the space as well.The pool - this was the standout for us. We were keen to still stay somewhere that enabled us to explore the west side of the island but the private pool was a huge plus point as we were keen to get our 5 month old into it and have the privacy and peace to do so at our own pace (without lots of kids splashing around or similar at hotel pools). Don't be put off by the pool being salt water - this isn't remotely as explicit as it sounds. It's a process of chlorinating the water and isn't remotely what you would guess a salt water pool would be like - do not let the naive understanding of salt water pools put you off - its better than a regular pool.Overall an unforgettable stay, which is lovely as we will cherish our first ever family holiday being somewhere as amazing as this.Do not hesitate if you are considering booking this apartment!!

Oh golly Fraser, you’ve just made me cry, that’s so lovely to think that The House in the Sun will always be part of your family memories.
Thanks for mentioning the benefits of the pool. Our daughter has very sensitive skin so we chose to have this type of pool rather than one using chemicals. The salt is changed into natural chlorine which is much gentler on your skin and guests report how soft their skin feels after using it. We look forward to welcoming you back anytime xxxx Love Kathie and Chris xxxxx

A lovely House in the Sun with great hosts, facilities and environment.
Our 3rd visit to Crete. This is a lovely, air-conditioned apartment, set in a quiet traditional village in a beautiful part of Crete. The views from the patio are stunning. The facilities provided within the apartment, and outside, were all we needed for our 9 night stay. The bed is very comfortable and the pool is everything it looks, maintained at a constant 30 Deg C. Within 30 minutes travel is the lovely seaside resort of Kalyves. There are many golden, sandy, beaches within easy reach. Chania airport and city are about 30 minutes drive as is a Lidl store. There are local shops and chemists within a few minutes drive. I advise hiring a car, in order to get the best from your stay. The hosts, Kathie and Chris are lovely people! They are extremely helpful, friendly and kind. The advice that they gave us on the local area was really helpful. Thank you both, so much, for everything! We thoroughly recommend thiis for a holiday to remember! Roly & Mandy Love.

After reading the reviews and so many positive reviews we decided to book this place. Well all i can say is we were not disappointed very clean with all you need. Wonderful well kept gardens and a beautiful pool plenty of areas to enjoy the sun but also a lovely shaded area under the wisteria to escape from the heat but for me the best was the Wonderful views of the olive groves flanked my the white mountains stunning with only the sounds of a Greek summer and the occasional Greek music playing in the distance which only enhanced the experience. If you enjoy the quieter life this is a place i would highly recommend

Les photos sont la réalité!
Un logement en tout point exemplaire, une vue magnifique et des hôtes très prévenants sans être omniprésents (bien que sur place). Katie et Chris ont repondu a nos demandes soit directement soit par messagerie en quelques minutes à chaque fois.
Le seul petit bémol ne vient pas de l'habitation mais de l'île elle-même (et comme beaucoup d'îles que nous avons faîtes), ce sont les distances a parcourir avec une vitesse limitée et des petites routes (mis a part la route nommée "90", la seule nationale de l'île).
Pour la location par contre rien a dire c'est le top!

Peace & tranquility
This place isn’t for everyone, which doesn’t mean I’m putting this place down, quite the opposite. If you love animals, especially cats, then come here (if you don’t like cats then don’t visit Greece!). If you love to be off the beaten track, but still close enough to not be totally cut off, then come here. If you want the option of being left to your own devices and I mean totally, no room service, no towel changes while you nap etc come here. We enjoyed the solitude, no noises bars, the long walks through rural villages, the peace and quiet (apart from the dogs, birds, goats etc) the lovely local villages with great Tavernas and warm welcomes. Yes this suited us perfectly and we are looking at returning soon, and WE NEVER do that to any place that we’ve visited before !

About the host
Hosted by Kathie and Chris
I am a 'retired' paediatric physiotherapist who worked for 30 years mainly with children with Cerebral Palsy, mostly in their own homes. Chris was a software developer then team manager for nearly 40 years
We moved to Crete in October 2016 basically to escape the M6! Chris's commute from Walsall to Coventry was getting longer and longer and he'd had enough. After 30 years I was finding it harder and harder to crawl around the floor all day treating the kids!
We now live here in Crete, enjoying the empty roads and the outdoor lifestyle in the sun. We spend our days marvelling at the views and bird watching from the balcony, walking in the surrounding areas, eating amazing food at the local taverna's, playing music, or for me, snorkelling in the clear blue waters whilst Chris either explores the coastline or sits and contemplates life!

Why they chose this property
Chris and I have travelled throughout the Greek islands on 2 week holidays for the last 20 years but really fell in love with the Apokoronas area of Crete. The surrounding countryside is lush and green, rather than brown and barren like other parts of the island. It is also close to our favourite city, Chania with its picturesque Venetian harbour and narrow cobbled streets.
We bought this particular property in Paidohori for several reasons.
We wanted to be in the heart of a Greek community away from the main tourist areas but within 15 minutes of the golden sandy beaches and friendly resorts of Kalyves and Almyrida.
We fell in love with the view of the mountains and olive groves which change as the light changes during the day.
We are aware that holiday time is precious and really want you to make the most of your time here and have a fabulous holiday so we also liked the idea that our rental customers could be completely private if they wanted to be. However, we would be available for support and advice if required or to sort out any problems you may have, instantly.

What makes this property unique
The house is built from stone in the traditional Greek style, with the archway through to the bedroom area, but it has all the modern features of air conditioning and mosquito screens for the summer and double glazed windows and a log burner as heating for the winter.
The views are spectacular from the large terrace where you can sunbathe or sit under the shaded pergola and sip local wines.
The solar heated swimming pool is accessed via a gate on the guest terrace.
