About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lavender villa is set in our beautiful landscaped gardens next to the pool.

Lavender is one of our three beautiful villas set in our spacious landscaped gardens which have been carefully chosen for their beautiful flowers and foliage, allowing for a private experience, with mature trees providing shade from the sun.

Our emerald green lawns give the opportunity to lay back and sunbath around the pool, or play a few lawn games.

The pool is a massive 20 meters by 10 meters, perfect for relaxing in or for the serious swimmer to get some lengths in. The pool is situated 15 meters from the villa and shared with the other 2 villas, Available 24hrs a day.

The villa has two bedrooms, one large double and and a large twin room. There is a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. Space to sit inside and eat or enjoy our outside patio area with gas BBQ for alfresco dinning.

We have a gated private parking spot for each villa. Guests are very welcome to enjoy our various gardens at any time to relax and enjoy the Cretan flowers and wildlife in perfect tranquility.

Our village is located at the foot of the mountain Malaxa, and has the feel of a traditional Greek village, yet only 4km from Chania. There are two local mini markets a chemist and a coffee shop. There is also a traditional taverna serving food and drink.

Meltemaki beach is 2km away, it is a beautiful sandy beach popular with the locals. There is a fish taverna, perfect for experiencing authentic Mediterranean seafood.

There is a village bus stop 30 meters from the entrance to the car park, and a bus stop 1km away on the main road from Souda to Chania, buses run every 20 minutes from there and three times a day from the village bus stop.
Taxis from the center of Chania back to Crete retreat are around 8 euro.

Crete retreat is a family run business and we live on site so are available if needed. We are animal lovers with dogs, cats, chickens and parakeets kept within our own premises. Guests are welcome to arrange a visit.

In our opinion Crete Retreat is a perfect environment for people who wish to explore and enjoy Crete, from a beautiful and unique oasis.

WINTER LETS

A wonderful return visit to Crete Retreat
I only gave 4 stars for the accuracy of the online listing as it was better than as described on VRBO website!THere has been some updating of the property since we last stayed .The description did not say there was a full oven and a Smart Tv to use for netflix and amazon prime if you wish to use it. Also more of a sitting area inside, as well as out on the decking, with shelter from the sun. We really enjoyed our stay in this peaceful place. Ian , Rob and Rachel gave a warm welcome and were as helpful as could possibly be.The garden is a lovely peaceful place, the pool is a very good size, In October cooling down a bit but we did swim twice daily even so!Lots of places to visit, Lidl a 10 minute drive away and more local shops, lots to see and do in the area, we really didn't want to come home as our holiday was just what we needed. THankyou Ian Rob and Rachel.

Lovely pool area
The pool area at the villa was amazing, the villa itself was very basic. Nice quiet location where you could easily get into Chania town by bus which took 5-10 minutes

Cottage was good and pool a fantastic facility for the kids
It was a great place to stay with kids. Swimming pool available 24/7 and the veranda of the cottage enabled easy supervision of kids whilst relaxing in the shade. Lots to do in Crete, we had a very active and varied holiday holiday from Ancient Greek sites to scuba diving and walking. Not forgetting the relaxing on the beaches, falasarna being the kids favourite.

Gorgeous spot, totally lives up to expectations, you won't be disappointed, we loved it!
Great location, private and quiet and still walking distance of authentic Greek village with taverna and restaurant used only by locals, not tourists, while Chania just 10 mins away by bus. Lovely shopping, beaches and restaurants close by - and Ian always at hand to help or advise. Highly recommend.

Cadre idyllique pour se ressourcer
Idéalement placé pour visiter la région de la Canée. Le cadre verdoyant et la grande piscine font de ce lieu une adresse unique qui aime les environnements reposants. Les gérants sont très accueillants et aux petits soins pour répondre à vos questions et vous rendre le séjour le plus agréable possible. L'environnement est très verdoyant et la grande piscine (ramené au nombre d'occupants) font de ce lieu un endroit unique.

Super Urlaub
Klasse, ruhige, kleine Anlage mit Vermieter auf dem Areal wohnend. Sehr familiär, locker und unkompliziert. Alles in Eigenleistung geschaffen, daher nicht perfekt aber dafür mit Charme. Jederzeit wieder und sehr zu empfehlen.
