On a hillside in the peaceful setting of the Apokoronus region of Western Crete and surrounded by the famous White Mountains and the Bay of Almeritha, Villa Alena and Lara's House sit in their own grounds with extensive and colourful gardens and walkways with sensational views of the Mountains and The Bay. The Villa and House share a beautiful kidney shaped swimming pool and the expansive pool terrace looks out on The Bay which seems so close you could almost reach out and touch it !!! Within the gardens are quiet places in which to sit and read or just take in the breathtaking views. And yet, amongst this peace and tranquility, the popular village of Plaka with its Tavernas and the famous Taki's Bar is just five minutes away by car and the resorts of Almeritha and Kalives with their blue flag - child-friendly - sandy beaches and watersport facilities are just 10 minutes by car.

Villa Alena is a two-storey villa with a large lounge with fireplace. French Doors from the lounge open out onto the patio balcony with views across the pool to the Mountains and The Bay. The family kitchen has a full cooker, fridge/freezer, washing machine and microwave.

From the dining room, French Doors open out onto the pool terrace with its spectacular views. There are two bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with two singles. In both bedrooms there are spacious built-in wardrobes, dressing tables, mirrors and stools.

Upstairs, the main bathroom has a full size bath, shower and vanity unit with mirror and a WC. On the ground floor is another shower room with basin and WC. The lounge is equipped with Satellite TV and Radio, Video & DVD players and a CD/Tape player. A hairdryer and iron & ironing board are also in situ.

Villa Alena and Lara's House are an ideal holiday solution for families or friends wishing to enjoy a holiday together but who welcome their own self-contained living space at the end of the day. Booked together each property sleeps a maximum of 6 guests. If wishing to book both properties please check to make sure BOTH ARE AVAILABLE for the week(s) you require.

Booked separately, we prefer a maximum of 4 persons. We welcome couples and small family bookings and therefore DO NOT TAKE BOOKINGS from same sex parties or young singles whose idea of holiday fun will differ considerably from that of a couple or a young family.

You can be assured therefore that if you are booking Villa Alena separately, those sharing your holiday environment will be of a similar and acceptable profile to yourselves.
