Villa Vangelis
Stylos - Villa
Availability and prices
Accommodation
Description
Stone house with private salt water pool and shady dining area which sits alone, on the hillside above Stylos with far reaching sea and mountain views from the Aptera Fortress to Cape Drapanos. Inside, traditional stone and wood has been given a light decorative touch and with the addition of a modern sofa and good quality beds Villa Vangelis is now a comfortable holiday Villa, just perfect for two or a family of four.
Location Stylos
The village of Stylos is just over 2 kms downhill, where there are two mini markets selling basic provisions as well as several very authentic Cretan tavernas (we ate the most delicious hortarina kaltisounia, the little pies filled with mountain greens, at the Faraggi Taverna).
Enroute to the beach side village of Kalyves, an approx. 10mins drive, the road passes though village of Armeni where there are few more tavernas, a little shop that sells fresh cheese and meat plus a baker who delivers to the cafeneon in the square.

Note - If guests at Villa Vangelis are fortunate enough to be staying during one of the infrequent occasions when the Dimitra Kentro (a wedding and baptism venue on the opposite side of the valley) is hosting a celebration, they will be extended a warm invitation to take a table, enjoy a meal and join in the festivities - a rare opportunity to experience some famous Cretan hospitality with music and the locals 'kicking up their heels'. Greek celebrations often continue into the early hours but any sounds drifting across the valley to the Villa can be firmly kept out with closed windows and air con running.

We really loved the outside space at Villa Vangelis. Photos can't really do it justice. You have the mountains, the sea and wildlife. It's a fantastic place to stay for a couple or young family. I would add that you definitely need a car (the village is a half hour walk) and get a car that doesn't mind a few bumps in the road (the road up to the Villa is bumpy). This will make your stay more enjoyable. Will definitely go back.

This villa was perfect. The views are incredible with the ocean in front and mountains behind. There are loads of different seating areas to enjoy meals/ drinks at different times of day, its completely private and not overlooked, the pool is great for kids and adults, the garden has loads of beautiful flowers and curious lizzards, the inside is both stylish and well equipped. What more can i say...dont hesitate in booking. The only slight problem was arriving late at night. Its up in an olive grove above the village and the track is pretty small. The directions are very accurate though so persevere even if you lose faith!

We had a brilliant stay at Villa Vangelis. The view over the olive tree fields is simply breathtaking. The outside area is perfectly organised with a big (and warm!) swimming pool, comfortable sun chairs and lounge seats.
The bed were very comfortable and the shutters allowed peaceful nights of sleep. The kitchen was well equipped and the owner even provided us with an electric BBQ when requested. There is a small convenient store 2-minute drive away that is very useful to buy basics. The nearby village of Armeni had lovely tavernas. |

We stayed at Villa Vangelis for a week, and enjoyed a fabulous break. The villa is attractive and very well equipped and the owners are incredibly thoughtful, with all the little necessities catered for, including washing pods, dishwasher tablets, toiletries etc. The villa is very private, the views are spectacular, the pool is great and there is loads of usable outside space and everything is really well kept. The drive to the villa is along a rough track but we had no problems at all with a basic small hire car. Kalyves beach is 10 minutes drive away and we recommend the Porto Kalyves coffee shop. This was our third Cretan Villa with Freelance and we liked it so much we have booked the same villa again in September. Kirsty and Morti x

Wir hatten 2 sehr schöne Wochen dort verbracht.
Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber. Man hat eine tolle Aussicht auf die Umgebung. Die großzügige Terrasse und der schöne Pool hat uns sehr gefallen. Diane, unsere Ansprechpartnerin, war zu jeder Zeit erreichbar und war sehr bemüht schnell kleine Probleme zu lösen. Auch ein großen Dank an ihre sehr freundliche Mitarbeiterin Vasso vor Ort. Wir empfehlen den kleinen Supermarkt "cretan market" in Kalyves. Dort bekommt man regionale Produkte. Gleich gegenüber befindet sich auch die Fleischerei und Bäckerei. |
