Through the sliding doors, guests will find a balcony complete with al fresco dining setting (seating 6) with spectacular views over the Aegean Sea.
The open-plan design seamlessly connects the living space to the fully equipped kitchen, creating a convivial atmosphere for shared moments. The kitchen, adorned with modern amenities, beckons culinary enthusiasts to utilise the finest local produce. Whether you’re tossing together a Greek salad or preparing a holiday feast for family and friends, this kitchen’s range of appliances and ample counter space makes cooking a breeze. A small kitchen dining table (seating 4) provides an extra preparation room or a space to enjoy breakfast.
Villa Arcadia boasts three tastefully decorated bedrooms, each offering a unique haven for relaxation. Descending the stairs to the lower level reveals the first two of these bedrooms. The first boasts a queen-sized bed, satellite TV, AC and direct access to the pool area. The second bedroom features twin single beds (convertible to a double). The rooms share a communal bathroom with a shower and washing machine.
Ascending the stairs to the top floor reveals the spacious master bedroom, adorned with a plush queen-size bed, lounge area (including sofa bed fit for two guests), dedicated workstation, and an ensuite bathroom with shower. Better yet, the room boasts its own private balcony with a coffee table and seating for 2 to enjoy breathtaking views of the coastline.
Stepping outside reveals a truly arcadian world, a private outdoor oasis where guests can dive in the pool, relax on sun loungers, and dine al fresco on the terrace surrounded by lush greenery and panoramic views. What is more, the garden boasts a stone BBQ grill and pizza oven with another al fresco setting, ensuring the full range of delectable options with which lasting memories will be made.
Villa Arcadia embodies the epitome of comfort and the Cretan indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Book your escape now and let Villa Arcadia be the backdrop to unforgettable memories on this sun-kissed island paradise.
Surrounded by the lush greenery of the garden and panoramic sea views, Villa Arcadia is well-situated a short distance from Chania (12-minute drive) in a Cretan village centred around a protected cove and sandy beach (5-minute drive). The beach is ideal for relaxation and families thanks to its golden sand, clear water, and protection from the elements thanks to a chapel-topped peninsula. Perfect for open-water swimming thanks to its waveless calm, the beach also boasts sunbeds and a number of restaurants and bars. What is more, thanks to the villa’s location on Chania’s outskirts, there are a host of amenities within a short distance, including restaurants, cafes and bakeries, mini markets and supermarkets close at hand.
For a lively spot to swim and socialise, the quaint village of Platanias (a 9-minute drive) offers everything you could need for your vacation: a long beach, a variety of restaurants and bars with a vivid nightlife, and in the old village (Upper Platanias) many points of cultural and historical significance.
Chania itself is one of Crete’s two main cities. Walk through the old port’s picturesque alleys and historic neighbourhoods, stroll along to its 16th-century lighthouse and indulge yourself in the irresistible Cretan atmosphere and cuisine.
Crete is a fantastic place for hiking, perhaps most notably in the Samaria Gorge where you’ll find the deserted village of Samaria along with breath-taking natural landscapes and a wide range of flora and fauna including the rare species of wild goat known as the kri-kri.
