LUXURY VILLA WITH PRIVATE POOL-Mountain and Sea View with Olive Grove and Garden

Luxury villa with large, 12 meter private pool looking over an olive grove with mountain and sea views in Vamos, Crete.

Villa Chrysoula is situated on a high ridge just outside of Vamos, surrounded by mature trees, olive groves, and beautiful gardens. With magnificent views of Souda Bay and the White Mountains (Lefka Ori), this garden paradise is alive with bird song and scents of the Mediterranean. Villa Chrysoula offers plenty of space to host families and their guests. Only 500 meters from the center of the charming village of Vamos, it is close enough to walk to all amenities, but far enough to feel like you're in the countryside.

The swimming-pool is surrounded by beautiful gardens and has a toddlers’ area. Sun loungers and parasols are available on the pool deck. Cook on the gas-barbecue (Weber) and eat al fresco at the outdoor dining-area.

The main floor of the villa has an open-plan kitchen that leads into a spacious living and dining room, made comfortable at any season with well-equipped air conditioners, ceiling fans and under floor heating. Walk directly outdoors onto the terrace, garden and pool deck via sliding doors. Here's something you won't find at most villas: a guitar! Guests are welcome to enjoy the acoustic guitar, board games and books.

The kitchen is equipped with top quality Indesit cooking and refrigeration appliances, as well as an electric orange juicer, food processor, coffee machine, and hand electric blender. All pots, pans, and kitchenware are ready for you to cook---a must with the incredible quality of local food in the Vamos and Apokoranas area, especially the olive oil, yoghurt, honey and cheeses.

The top floor features two double bedrooms with luxury-top mattresses, built-in wardrobes, air conditioners, ceiling fans and an adjoining bathroom/shower with bath. Both bedrooms step out onto a long, shared balcony for you to enjoy sunsets and lovely views of the Aegean Sea.

The ground floor has a spacious bedroom suite equipped with two double beds, each with luxury top mattresses. The ground floor suite also has built-in wardrobes, its own bathroom/shower room, with hair dryer, and can be accessed by a separate entrance making it ideal for a multiple family visit.

The ground floor is equipped with a large laundry/utility room, which includes a clothes washing machine, clothes drying rack, and iron with board. The utility room also has an extra drinks fridge/freezer.

The traditional village of Vamos offers all amenities, including a 24 hour health centre, dentist, bank, school, mini markets & a variety of other stores. The village also attracts tourists interested in the archeology and history of this historic village.

If you have a larger group, please enquire about renting Villa Chrysoula in tandem with its twin sister Villa Drydakia (https://www.homeaway.co.uk/p806762)

The villa lies just outside the village of Vámos, which has a great selection of restaurants and cafes. It is ideally located a short drive to the lovely local beaches to the North and Chania and Rethimno both a short drive away. We loved the outside space and pool area, which offered spectacular views towards the White Mountains. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 weeks at the villa and hope to return to further explore the area.

Fabulous Villa
Spent a wonderful 11 nights at the villa. A extremely clean and well equipped property and much larger than it looks in the photos. Pool area is lovely and remains in the sunshine all day although there are many shady areas around the property in which to relax out of the sun. Great location for exploring this lovely island. We especially recommend snorkelling at Octopus Bay for a memorable experience. Plenty to do do but also the perfect place to relax. Would highly recommend to friends and family

Feeling at home
We had a wonderful stay at the villa. Nicola, the owner, was attentive and welcoming. The house lacked nothing - we even enjoyed the guitar!! We were 4 adults and we constantly felt we had lots of space, privacy and quiet. From the beautiful gardens to the refreshing pool to the vistas from the villa - it was perfect. We were located in the beautiful Vamos with its many tavernas, bakeries and shops. It was one of the most relaxing vacations any of us had experienced with the slow pace of life in the many villages we visited the perfect antidote to our more rushed living. We would return in a minute to fall back into the beauty, the always amazing food and, of course, the beaches of unbelievable beauty of Crete.

A Perfect Holiday
What with the wonderful villa and its magnificent views of the mountains from the swimming pool terrace; the ever so helpful owners who were there to ensure the stay went smoothly and the good fortune to have two weeks of gloriously sunny weather our holiday was just perfect in every way. We couldn’t recommend it more highly and would definitely love to come back in the future.

A perfect place to unwind
We had a great stay in this lovely villa in Crete. The villa had great views and a lovely pool and was only a very short drive to some fantastic beaches with clear warm water to swim in. The area is family suitable and you won’t struggle for things to do. We would definitely go back. The villa is comfortable and the air con and mozzie screens made the stay much more comfortable than other places we have stayed at. The pool was a hit with our 5 year old and kept him occupied for hours. There was also reliable Wi-Fi which was great for a few urgent work matters which had to be picked up whilst there. Locally there are places to eat and to pick up supplies and nothing was too much trouble for our hosts who were lovely and responsive. If you have a large group, renting the villa next door (the only other property very close) would be excellent. However, we only rented one and weren’t disturbed by the neighbours at all. All in all, a great place to stay in an area with some lovely beaches and clear warm seas! Octopus Bay was our favourite!

Beautiful view!
The villa is very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. The view from poolside and balconies is stunning. A quiet location very close to Vamos village. A car means you can visit different beaches and villages as well as Chania & Rethymnon. Pool & villa cleaning service excellent. We had no difficulties but if we had, help was only a call away. Very good instructions in getting to the villa meant we could arrive late at night without difficulty. We were a family of 4 with 2 teenagers. Highly recommend!

Lovely location and very unspoilt
This is a very comfortable, spacious villa, ideal for a family holiday. We all loved the pool. The local village is very unspoilt and we felt we experienced real Crete. Views are fabulous and location is great for exploring much of the island.

Vamos villa
Lovely villa with a great swimming pool. Lots of space outside both shaded and in the sunshine. Rooms were good size, air conditioned and fans so environmentally friendly. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed exploring Vamos and went to some really nice restaurants in Vamos (which is walkable) and also to a couple within a few miles of the villa. Love the Greek food and hospitality. The noise of the cicadas was a bit of a surprise, but they are a feature of Crete during the Summer months.

Better than advertised!
The house is spacious but doesn't feel too big because the rooms are spread out across 3 floors. The views of Souda Bay and the mountains are way better in person. The owner was always available and took the initiative to ask what we may need. There is Covid testing available at a private clinic in Kalyves nearby. Anything you can't find in Vamos, you can find there. Great location! I would definitely consider staying here again.

Super comfortable villa with amazing view
Exceptional villa, we will not forget this view from the dinning area by the pool. The house has everything, is located in the garden, you do not see other properties. Birds wake you up in the morning. In 10-15 min driving are good beaches, we went once to the southern part (50 min), beaches there , around Hora Sfakion, are excellent and empty.

Very well designed & comfortable property
This property was very easy to find from the directions and when we arrived everything was in order. The rooms were exactly as described and thankfully the air con was very efficient. The whole rental was totally hassle free. We had a very relaxing stay at the villa that met our requirements in every aspect, we did very little sightseeing this time in Crete so I expect to return to this Villa in the near future to remedy this.

Spacious, bright and clean. Lovely pool and well equipped house.
Pool area was great with pretty garden and lots of different shady spots to sit in. House is well equipped and had air conditioning which meant we slept well. Plenty to do in the area for our week long stay. Xani in Chania was indeed a lovely restaurant. Would also recommend the Botanical Gardens. We made shorter trips to the beaches/diving point at Almyrida, Georgiopolous (v cold!) and Kefalas. Aptera was interesting (we went early in the day) and we spent our last afternoon before a late flight on a fantastic beach at Kalathas. Vamos is just a short stroll down the hill. A couple of nice restaurants and don't miss ice cream and cake from the cafe next to Georgina's. You can get essentials from the two little supermarkets. We would certainly recommend a visit to others.

Villa mit wundervoller Aussicht
Die Villa hat einen wundervollen Pool und faszinierende Aussichten auf die Weißen Berge und das Meer. Beides haben wir sehr genossen. Das Haus bietet viel Platz und die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Leider hat die Klimaanlage in einem Schlafzimmer jede Nacht nach zweit Stunden aufgehört zu kühlen. Die Vermieter haben sich Mühe gegeben, das Problem zu lösen, aber ohne Erfolg. Die Matratzen sind leider sehr hart. Aus unserer Sicht gehören sie dringend ausgetauscht. Im Souterrain arbeitet viele Stunden am Tag ein Gerät - wir vermuten eine Wasserpumpe - das doch für sehr viel Geräusch im unteren Schlafzimmer sorgt, auch nachts! Die Schlafzimmer im oberen Stockwerk sind davon aber sehr wenig betroffen. Alles in allem haben wir unseren Aufenthalt aber sehr genossen. Wie eingangs erwähnt - die Aussicht ist unschlagbar!

Schöne Unterkunft, nette Vermieterin
Wir haben unseren Urlaub in der Villa Chrysoula sehr genossen. Der Blick auf die Berge und der großzügige Pool waren für uns und unsere Kinder das Highlight! Die Kommunikation mit Nicola, der Vermieterin, war immer sehr freundlich und sie hat versucht alle unsere Wünsche zu berücksichtigen. Danke nochmals dafür! Im nahegelegenen Ort Vamos kann man alle Dinge für den täglichen Gebrauch einkaufen. Der nächste größere Supermarkt ist ca. 15 Autominuten entfernt. Wir waren dort allerdings nur einmal während unseres 10-tägigen Aufenthalts. Es gibt einige Strände in der Nähe von Vamos, der nächste ist in Almyrida, gute 10 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt. Für etwas größere und schönere Strände muss man dann eher 20 Minuten einplanen. Einzig die Matratze in unserem Doppelbett fanden wir zu hart und die Villa wirkt auf den Fotos etwas geräumiger als sie tatsächlich ist. Für uns sechs war es allerdings völlig ausreichend! Wir würden wiederkommen!
