This villa is actually one of a three-villa complex on the Cretan (Greek) island of Chania, positioned to provide magnificent views of seascape and surroundings; offered by The Greek Villas, it’s a vacation or holiday rental that dreams are made of. Located steps from the village of Almirida, it is a perfect “home base” from which to ramble the island: here, you’ll find walking trails along mountain paths and the famous Samaria Gorge. You can also take advantage of other activities the island offers: horseback riding, tennis, and water sports such as diving and snorkeling. If you’re so inclined, explore local cultural activities such as museums and archaeological sites — not to mention the venerable towns and churches to see. You’ll have no shortage of things to do around this villa…and that’s only half the story.
The other half is the interior of Lime I, which is an ideal combination of contemporary and traditional. Floor-to-ceiling expanses of glass treat you to breathtaking sea and sky views from almost every room — along with a modern, sleek décor palette of crisp white, gray, purple, and other soothing neutrals as a backdrop. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms are each done in different lively colors — red, orange, black and white — and provide ample room for a family to spread out and relax. And, speaking of relaxing…nothing’s a better way to relax than your own private outdoor terrace with a pool that seems to flow right into the sea itself. Rent Lime I for your own family, or all three units for a bigger group — however you do it, it’s a luxurious escape worth taking.
