Villa Oleandro

About this property

Set on a peaceful hilltop on the Akrotiri Peninsula, just moments from the Cretan coastline, Villa Oleandro delivers elegance, comfort, and space in equal measure. Comprising two independent units, it accommodates up to fourteen guests, ideal for extended families or groups seeking a refined island escape.

Across five hundred square metres of living space, the interiors pair sleek modern design with traditional touches, all finished to a high standard. Smart home features offer seamless convenience, while thoughtful details throughout reflect a strong design sensibility and commitment to comfort.

Outside, guests can unwind beside a generous saltwater pool with sweeping views, or dine al fresco beneath a pergola in the dedicated barbecue area. The gardens, scented with aromatic herbs and flowers, add to the tranquil atmosphere.

Villa Oleandro is perfectly positioned for exploring the island’s diverse landscapes, from golden beaches and calm coves to rugged mountains and vibrant local villages. Whether you spend your days swimming, hiking, or simply relaxing in the sun, the villa offers a stylish and serene base for an exceptional Cretan getaway.

Villa Oleandro enjoys a fantastic hilltop location in the stunning countryside surrounding the city of Chania (7.8 km), whilst only a few steps from the sea and the Blue flag sandy beach of Agios Ounofrios. The gorgeous village of Kounopidiana is only 1.5 km far and boasts a selection of traditional Greek tavernas, lively bars and local shops.

The whole North coast of Crete is a succession of incredible beaches with crystal clear waters, where you can relax on comfortable sunbeds, find shelter under very handy parasols or join an array of exciting watersport activities. Elafonissi and Falasarna beaches, Tersanas, Kalatha, Macherida, Stavros, Marathi and Seitan Limania are just a few options, all within a 20 minutes drive!

A visit to the ancient city of Chania, which also hosts an airport, is highly recommended. The city has seen many civilisations come and go over thousands of years of settlement, from Minoans to Romans, Byzantine to Ottoman, and this rich history has carved out a unique and mysterious town.

Restaurants, museums, churches and craft shops centre can be found around the gorgeous Venetian harbour, which represents a window into the past Turkish and Venetian architecture that has otherwise largely been destroyed by war. Watching the sunset past the old lighthouse is a truly unmissable experience, but the area offers a different picturesque aesthetic at any time of day.

Be sure to sample the fresh fish they pull in from the harbour each day, or even take a boat out and do some fishing or snorkelling yourself! Along with the above sightseeing opportunities, keep in mind that the Akrotiri Peninsula has a number of unique archaeological sites which are certainly worth a visit. Explore the caves of Stavros, Arkalospilio and Arkaudospilius, and discover the fascinating history lying behind the Gouverneto and Saint John the Hermit monasteries.
