A Recently Refurbed 3 Bedrm Villa, Large Pool, Great Privacy, Close to Amenities
This recently refurbished villa is nestled in the sublime village of Xirosterni. It’s 45 minutes from both Chania airport and Chania Town in the beautiful Apokoronas region which provides so many options of great tavernas, restaurants, quaint villages, and beautiful sandy beaches, all within a short drive of 10 minutes or less.
Villa Pegasus is a very private villa that has a large pool with Roman end steps, ample parking, its own olive grove, is surrounded by beautiful conifers, and has beautiful views to the Cretan White Mountains and the sea.
Inside the freshly painted villa you find the living area on the top floor with both indoor and outdoor dining, large TV, new lounge furniture and furnishings, with a shared book and jigsaw library. The kitchen is well equipped for both indoor and outdoor dining, and the upstairs bathroom comes in handy.
The bedrooms are on the ground floor, each with its own balcony. The master has a large double bed with a new mattress. There are two large single beds in each of the other two bedrooms. The downstairs also has the main bathroom with bath and a separate laundry.
A sunbed for each guest with 3 sun umbrellas and an outdoor Bluetooth portable system give you the best choice for poolside relaxation.
The new owners are keen to have new guests enjoy the benefits of the upgrades, so we have special 2026 rates on offer.
*** As of January 01, 2024, the Greek government have replaced the old “bed tax” with a new tax that is applied to all stays in short-term rental accommodation in Greece. The Climate Resilience Levy is a response to the devastating forest fires and floods that Greece has experienced in recent years, with the government hoping to generate extra funding that will go towards financing reconstruction, supporting victims, and increasing the country’s defences against future natural disasters.
The owners of all short-term rental accommodation are legally obliged to collect the Climate Resilience Levy as a separate tax for all overnight stays (per villa) as follows:
In 2026: €15.00 per night on stays between March 01 and October 31, and €4.00 per night on stays between November 01 and February 28/29.
The Vrbo system does not have a section for collecting the Climate Resilience Levy and we have, therefore, had to add it to the billing section as an extra fee which will show on the booking as a Host Fee (until Vrbo update their system).
Whilst we understand the potential budget concerns of our guests, this tax/levy is beyond our control and we hope that our guests see this as a way of contributing to the protection of the planet and the beautiful area where they are holidaying.

We enjoyed our stay very much at Villa Pegasus which is located in a just outside the village of Xirosterni in large grounds with olive trees and a lovely pool and large patio area. There are spectacular views of the mountains on one side and views to the coast from the first floor terrace. It’s very easy to reach Gavalohori and Vamos from the Villa, and easy to drive to Kalyves and Chania.
Great Villa & pool, only minor things as some friendly feedback/observations..
Property was immaculately clean
Pool amazing
Agent and local property management were great
Friendly feedback and observations are:
- Entrance Gate broken and there was no ‘Villa Pegasus’ signage (at main road entrance or by the gate)
- Some batteries need replacing in the AC & TV remote control(s) but minor things..
- Beds were on the firm side. Pillows a bit bulky and foam v feather which is only a personal point of view..
No criticisms intended, great villa and super peaceful location… highly recommended..
We had a great stay here in late September. The area around the villa is very rural and quiet, we really enjoyed our time lazing around the pool, which is totally secluded and well equipped.There were plenty of comfortable loungers and umbrellas, and the pool was still a comfortable 24 to 25DegC.
The track up to the villa is quite rough, but perfectly OK with care in our normal hire car. Although in a slightly remote area, a good selection of coastal villages are 10 or 20 minutes away, which was not a problem for us.
Inside the villa was well appointed, but showing it's age a little, with a number of things not working quite as they should. The local agent promptly dealt with those which were important to us, the villa needs being lived in for a while, to identify and resolve the minor problems which would make this an almost perfect destination.
Das Haus an sich war sehr schön und im Großen und Ganzen gut in Schuss. Ein paar Schönheitsfehler, über die man aber getrost hinwegsehen konnte. Zweimal in der Woche wurden die Handtücher getauscht und die Bäder gereinigt und sogar der Müll entsorgt! Dank hier an Fiona und Ihr Team. Das einzige Manko war, das das Tor zum Haus kaputt war und somit zwei Wochen alles offen stand und im Grunde jeder auf das Gelände konnte. Wir wurden im Vorfeld darauf hingewiesen das Tor immer geschlossen zu halten, damit kein freilaufendes Getier (Schafe und Ziegen) auf das Gelände gelangen konnten, aber das hat scheinbar die Agentur doch nicht sos her gestört, dass das Tor kaputt war. Was man auf alle Fälle einmal austauschen müsste sind die Pfannen. Die waren beide unter aller Kanone (zerkratzt und verbogen). Solche Pfannen benutze ich zu Hause nicht mehr. Ansonsten alles da, was man braucht, außer kleine scharfe Messer. Aber da wir das bereits aus anderen Häusern kennen, sind wir darauf vorbereitet und haben uns welche mitgebracht. Auch wenn uns der Aufenthalt gefallen hat, würden wir dieses Haus nicht mehr buchen, da es auf Kreta genug schöne Strände gibt und man einen eigenen Pool nicht zwingend braucht. Auch war das Wasser darin viel zu kalt, Das Meer war wärmer. Auch ist man viel unterwegs, weil es viel zu sehen gibt. Auf alle Fälle ist Kreta eine oder mehrere Reisen wert.
Vacances parfaites, tranquilles pour apprécier la Crète
Villa idéalement placée, au calme, dans un village avec toutes les facilités, proximité Chania, Rethymon, mer, et nombreuses sorties possibles dans un rayon <1h en voiture
Ruhige und idyllische Ferien-Villa zum Entspannen und abschalten.
Die Villa Pegasus ist abseits von Touristen-Orten ruhig in der Landschaft gelegen, umgeben von Olivenbäumen, in der Nähe einer kleineren Ortschaft. Sehr gut erreichbar mit Fahrzeug. Alles was man benötigt (Taverne, Mini-Markt, Strand usw.) befindet sich in Reichweite von 5 bis 20 Minuten. Kein hektischer Lärm durch Touristenhochburgen, einfach "in the middle of nowhere". Wir haben in der Villa Pegasus einen sehr entspannten und erholsamen Urlaub genossen.
3 Schlafzimmer mit Klimatisierung im Erdgeschoß. Eine großzügige und moderne Wohnküche mit allen Geräten und Utensilien im Obergeschoß. Zwei moderne Bäder.
Entspannend ist das Frühstück auf dem nördlich gelegenen Balkon des Wohnbereich gewesen; ein perfekter Start in den Tag. Ebenso der Sprung früh oder abends in den hauseigenen Pool. Das Haus ist 2008/09 erbaut, modern eingerichtet und sehr gepflegt. Jedes Zimmer hat eine eigene Terrasse oder Balkon. Genug Fläche / Ort sich zurückzuziehen. Die großzügige Terrasse am Pool bietet genügend Platz zum ungestörten relaxen.
Perfekter Service; sollte etwas nicht ganz in Ordnung sein oder nicht funktionieren genügt ein kurzer Anruf.
Eine Empfehlung für den welcher Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit liebt und nicht davor scheut 20 Minuten zu einem der nächsten tollen und empfehlenswerten Strände zu fahren. Oder auch als Ausgangsort für andere Erkundungen und Tagestouren. Es gibt sehr viele empfehlenswerte Tavernen im nahen Umkreis mit natürlich rein griechischer Küche und Flair; ein MUß! Besonders die liebevolle und freundliche Bedienung welche wir dort erfahren haben!
Der Mini-Markt in 5 Minuten Fußmarsch hat 7 Tage die Woche geöffnet und bietet alles für den Grundbedarf.
Villa Pegasus steht bei uns ganz oben für einen der nächsten Aufenthalte auf Kreta!
points positifs : Propre, pas de vis à vis, bonne literie, grande piscine, moustiquaire à toutes les fenêtres mais de toute façon pas trop de moustiques, très bien équipée sauf pour le café (pas de machine)
points à revoir : Mériterait un petit coup de fraîcheur, changer les coussins vieux ou abîmés (terrasse du 1er étage) une 2ème table dehors, la lunette des toilettes est trop petite...et pour ceux qui sont sensibles des oreilles à éviter car c'est avant tout le royaume des cigales ! on entend aussi les avions qui décollent de Chania mais c'est franchement supportable.
En conclusion c’était malgré ces petits détails très bien !
La villa est idéalement située près du petit village de Vamos (commerces, restaurants, poste, ...) tout y est. Endroit très calme, nous avions juste une villa à côté de nous autrement les champs, vue sur la montagne et la mer. La villa est bien entretenue de l'extérieur, intérieur propre (vaisselle un peu sale). Je remercie Frankie et ses collègues, elles ont toutes été très réactives et ont répondu à toutes nos demandes. Les personnes qui viennent faire le ménage sont très souriantes.
Chose importante il n'y a pas trois salles de bains mais deux. La villa apparaît dans les recherches quand on sélectionne 3 salles de bains mais ce n'est pas le cas ....
