Description
*** Featured in Sunday Times "Europe's 100 Sexiest Summer Villas" ***
Passing a small copse of Holme 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 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 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 wensee more
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

An exceptionally pretty garden encircles the Villa where little box hedges decorate her emerald green lawns and a profusion of roses, jasmine and many other flowers spill out of the flower beds.Villa Toula is a beautiful stone house where Toula's natural talents as a homemaker spill into every corner....
