Description

Sea and mountain Views from each of three terraces over which Villa Zara’s grounds extend, 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, Zara 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 - Plaka
1 km uphill from the sandy sweep of pretty Almerida, 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 Zara is 800m wandering distance from this square. For a change of beach scene, the small resort of Kalives and Georgioupolis are within easy striking distance. Chania’s Venetian Harbour is 25 kms away and Rethymnon 40 kms.

It is really a pleasure to spend time outdoors with the pool, the garden furniture, the barbecue and all the other equipment available. It was great to be able to enjoy this incredible setting from morning till night with the sunset over the mountains and the sea.

We were all overwhelmed by our stay at this wonderful villa in Almirida. It is large, spacious and airy, with many different outside areas in which to relax and enjoy the incredible views. The photos really don't do justice to the amazing sea views you get of the bay - and the fabulous sunsets. We only had a week here this year and very happily spent 3 days just chilling out at the villa. We had all we needed there! The pool is fantastic. The local supermarket in Plaka, has everything you could need - with the restaurants in the village providing a variety of atmospheres and menus. This is our third time in the area, and the best villa we have stayed in. Diana at Freelance Villas was really helpful and on hand at any time to help with any queries we had. We loved it!
