Description
Sea and mountain Views from each of three terraces capture the very essence of Crete; the comings and goings of the occasional ferry boat, hilltops capped by sparkling white villages and mountains rising dreamily in the distance. A totally modern Villa, Afrati has been constructed and decorated using the best of Cretan tradition, with gleaming wood beamed ceilings and wood furnishings. A few individual villas scatter the hillside on which the Villa is built, from which privacy is maintained behind tree lined, stone walls.
Location - https://www.freelancevillas.com/almyrida-villas/
1 km uphill from the sandy sweep of pretty https://www.freelancevillas.com/almyrida-villas/, with its tavernas almost on the sand itself, the village of Plaka, has a mini market and some very good tavernas whose tables and chairs spill out onto the square, bringing it to life in the evenings. Villa Afrati is 1km wandering distance from this square. For a change of beach scene, the small resort of Kalyves and Georgioupolis are within easy driving distance. Chania Venetian Harbour is 25 kms away and Rethymnon 40 kms both towns worth a visit day or night.

Villa Afrati & Freelance Villas once again hit all that we needed, thank you. Our second stay at this wonderful villa and it proved a very good decision to return. Very comfy, great space, great location and lovely views. The pool and outside space is also a big hit. We loved our 2 weeks here recently and next time it might have to be for 3 weeks !! Thanks once again and we highly recommend both Villa Afrati & Freelance Holidays. Yamas.

Villa Afrati is perfectly located within easy reach of the coast to the East of Chania - we love this part of Crete as it offers something for families with children of all ages. Plaka, a short drive away (or 10 minute walk), is great for cafes and a couple of supermarkets, though Almerida and Kalyves offer a much wider choice.
The villa is very comfortable with the pool conveniently located for easy access back to the villa for drinks etc.. We would definitely holiday at this property again in future. |

The villa is conveniently located with supermarkets and restaurants located just 3 minutes drive away. A nice bakery for danish and donuts is a further 3 minutes drive away. The villa is nicely located to venture further afield.
The villa is well equipped with everything you need. It is a great size for 6 people. There is space to eat inside or outside dependant on the weather. The rooms are all nice sized with plenty of room. The beds are comfy. The view from upstairs balcony is amazing and is a nice place to chill and watch the sunset. The cleaners visit every 3-4 days and they do a great job. The freelance villa team is only a phone call away (WhatsApp) and response is very quick. We had a couple of minor things (bedside lamp not working and internet connection) that needed to be attended to. Between the freelance villa team and the owner, it was resolved very quickly. We had a great time and we will definitely use the villa again next time we visit Crete. |

This villa is perfectly laid out. All the bedrooms are en-suite and fairly self-contained. One bedroom is on the ground floor with its own access to the pool which meant that our late teens could enjoy considerable autonomy, with the younger child having his own bedroom upstairs. Amazing views from every window and seating point. The location is between two villages with easy access to their shops and restaurants, also good for walks in the hills on less sunny days. We will definitely return.

We felt very comfortable in this beautiful villa. Magnificent view from the upper terrace of the sea and the mountains, by day and by night. Also to be mentioned positively the clean and large pool with regular cleaning in the early morning hours, equipped with good beach chairs, umbrellas and the clean house with useful and extensive facilities. The evening walk to the small village Plaka was only 15 minutes and offered some nice restaurants with good food and excellent hospitality. We will be back
