Beautiful new Villa with amazing views
What a fabulous spot up in the hills above Plaka Beach (near Elounda). A bit away from the busy coast with all the hotels, but close enough to dip into the hustle and bustle and to access the little restaurants and shops (just a 5 minutes drive from Plaka and 20 mins to Elounda). The bigger town of Agios Nikolaos with it's harbour and lake is well worth a visit and is just over 30 mins drive (past Elounda along the pictorial coastal road). The brand new Villa with its lovely pool and stunning views of Spinalonga island and the whole gulf of Mirambello is a real 'summer' retreat, perfect also for outdoor summer living. The bedrooms all have wonderful sea view, very comfortable beds, desks, air conditioning, and a television with many international channels. The bathrooms are spacious and very comfortable. Towels, beach towels and linen are provided, you have to bring nothing. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and leaves no wishes open. The outside area has plenty of outdoor furniture, shady pergolas and an enormous Barbecue area. The whole property was spotless clean. The villa is situated above a small country road leading down to Plaka Beach. Very few cars pass by. Parking directly in front of the Villa within the gated property is comfortable. We had during our complete stay our reserved sunbeds and umbrellas down at Plaka Beach. We went down already the first day and chose our umbrellas directly by the sea. The beach is large pebbles, do not forget some water shoes. The water is therefore Cristal clear and easy to reach over wooden walkways. You can order coffee drinks and food directly to your sunbeds as a waiter from one of the close beach bar passes by regularly. Very memorable was also the excellent contact with the carers of the house, Lela, Ndricim (Jimmy) and Christine. The house is suitable for families or for a small group of friends. The views are breathtaking from sunrise to sunset. We couldn't get enough. Thank you Christine, thank you beautiful Crete. We will hopefully return soon to Villa Lela!
