In the historic village of Aspro, this charming villa offers beautiful mountain views and plenty of peace and quiet. Just 1650 metres from the beaches of Almyrida, you needn’t venture far to find clear shallow waters and golden sand. Chania town is a little further away but well worth a visit, so we’d recommend renting a car to get the most out of your stay. The villa itself is a little rustic with plenty of luxurious touches like a private pool and barbecue area, while inside you’ll find traditional stone units. These bedrooms are separated by a curtain, so have less privacy than the bedroom, but offer a cosy and authentic place to lay your head each night.
