Villa Galania
Armeni - Villa
Availability and prices
Accommodation
Description
Passing a small copse of Holm Oak trees where a hammock has been slung and around the corner of the villa, the view of mountains dotted with villages unfolds in all its magnificence. The pale pastel rose facade of the villa and beautiful pool at one with the serenely peaceful backdrop of rural Crete and the White Mountains, occasionally still snow topped very early in the season.
Villa Galania has been constructed in an atmospheric period style thanks to the skillful use of simple local materials. Covered balconies and terraces provide shade and respite from the heat of the sun, whilst the villa's stone faced doorways and rough hewn timbered ceilings add an authentic touch of the past. Villa Galania is furnished and equipped to a high standard and the owners really have ticked all the boxes down to the smallest detail.
Outside around the 9m x 4m pool and adjoining children's pool, there's a huge amount of living space including a smart alfresco cover dining area, a lounge area, a table soccer, plus a rusticated covered barbecue complete with Cretan oven and a small fridge for drinks.
Location
Set on a small hill above the village of Armeni and only 800 metres from Armeni village square, Villa Galania is ideally placed to enjoy the rural idyll whilst still being within reasonable walking distance of the choice of tavernas, cafenion and cafe in the village. The sandy beaches of Kalives and Kyani are just 5 minutes drive away.
Villa Galania is well placed for discovering this western side of the island, being a convenient 5 min drive to the junction to the east-west highway and thus an easy 30 min trip into Chania.

The villa suits us perfectly in terms of size, facilities and location. We noticed the improvements from our last visit, namely, the addition of a hair dryer in the second bedroom, the improve childrens’ pool and the redecoration which makes the house seem lighter and refreshed. Claire and Antonio are great hosts. Already booked for next year.

On our second visit we found that improvements to the decor as well as the Galania towels, pillows and sheets had brightened the villa up giving a more modern feel. The pool, bbq, comfortable bed and outdoor space including shaded areas were as good as ever. We enjoyed walking into the village to the taverna and the butcher's shop. By chance we found a good supermarket in Neo Chorio - the mini market in Almeni was less well stocked.

Scenic Retreat

We really enjoyed the stunning location with panoramic views. It was great to be able to stroll 15 mins into the village.
The villa was well equipped, the pool was a good size and an outdoor kitchen area ideal for barbecues.

An ideal villa for small family or group. The BBQ and Pizza oven area is a new to us since our last visit 4 years ago and is an excellent feature. Air conditioning is effective and easy to use. The new mosquito nets are an added bonus. The villa is situated in a quiet area and a short walk to the fabulous taverna in Armenoi.

The outside space at Villa Galania really is wonderful. The toddler pool was great for our 2 and 4 year old and the views are amazing. The villa itself was lovely and clean and the cleaner visited regularly. Only a short drive to Kalives where we went for dinner most nights. Taverna's we recommend include: Provlita and Kritiko in Kalives and Lagos is Almirida. Had a day trip to Lake Kournas and rented a pedal boat which the children loved. Also had a lovely day out at Marathi beach.

Villa Galania is superb. We return there again and again. We've been customers of Freelance on Crete for about 1520 years, and we've always found every aspect of their service to be absolutely impeccable
