A villa with beautiful stone detailing & spectacular countryside views
With its traditional Cretan-style and beautiful views, this attractive villa is a top choice for those looking for an authentic countryside break. Set among fields overlooking the surrounding hills and the sea in the distance, the location is impressive to say the least.

You’ll be equally pleased with the property itself. A pristine white sugar-cube villa with arch framed windows, it certainly looks the part. And on the inside, the classic style follows suit. In each of the rooms, you’ll find a stylish combination of traditional architecture and elegant furnishings.

On the upper floor, the open-plan living room and dining area boasts beautiful barestone archways, terracotta tiled flooring and an open fireplace. And to add to its rustic style, you’ll find handcrafted wooden furniture and a comfy deep-red sofa.

Downstairs, there are two bedrooms, a double and a twin, showcasing beautiful iron-framed beds and elegant French windows. From here, you can access the terrace. A smart outdoor spot with a decent-sized pool and comfy sun beds, you can really make the most of the views from here.

Your guide to Kamilari, Crete

"Its Byzantine name means ‘camel rider’, but don’t let that put you off – this is no desert outpost, it’s an oasis of calm."

If you’re looking for the real Crete, Kamilari delivers big time. Seemingly untouched by time and tourism, this typical hilltop village has all the classic, picture postcard features. There are the steep, narrow streets. The white-washed stone cottages draped in bougainvillea. And the friendly little tavernas and kafenions, where the local men gather to chat and play backgammon. Tradition is a way of life in Kamilari. Throughout the year there are various festivals and events which celebrate the time-honoured Cretan way of life, including the October Raki Festival, the annual Carnival, Easter festivities, grape and olive harvests and a whole host of feast days. As for other attractions, the scenery takes some beating. On one side the village overlooks the acres of olive groves and orchards which cover the Messara Valley. On the other it’s the beautiful blue Libyan Sea. Talking of which, there are several beaches in the area, including Kamilari’s own fine stretch of sand, about ten minutes away from the village by car. And you should have plenty of opportunity to make the most of them. Kamilari has one of the best climates in the Greek Islands, with an average of 12 hours a day of sunshine during the summer months. Oh, and if you’re into history, you’re perfectly placed to explore the nearby archaeological site at Phaistos, not to mention having the remains of a Minoan tomb right on your doorstep. So come and discover this authentic slice of Crete and make it your very own holiday oasis.
