OUR REVIEW
The villa
on the hill. Villa Kalliani has one of the perfect hilltop locations
in Crete, this is a real 360 degree view (the
photo gallery includes a photo
of the panoramic views). Terraces, balconies and
poolside all have views of the magnificent Kissamos bay, its sparkling
sea and the inland
hills.
Privacy is prime. The villa stands proudly on its own, just one kilometre from the village Herethiana
- which has a couple of
local cafes, kafeneia.
Isolated in location but not in travel times. It is ten
minutes to the nearest beach or Kissamos and 45 minutes from Chania.
When it is windy (this is a hilltop after all) one or more of the
balconies or terraces is shielded from the wind.
There are three bedrooms, one downstairs and two upstairs. An
attractive living area with leather sofas, fireplace, dining table and a fully
equipped modern kitchen. All rooms are air conditioned. Decor has splashes of stone and wood - a
pleasing blend of
modern/classic and traditional.
For up to six people the
villa is very comfortable and provides you with
your own piece of the countryside.
So you can be the king of the hill, take a swim in your pool with a
view, cruise around the small villages nearby, eat one evening on the
waterfront at Kissamos, the next in Chania.
What's close by: olive trees and views!
