Villa with 3 Bedrooms, Sleeps 6, Garden, Swimming Pool
Situated in the hamlet of Pirgos, 16 km west of Chania and just over 1 km from the centre of Maleme, this handsome old family house with 10m x 5m private swimming pool is set amongst olive groves, some 500 metres from the coast road, off the small country lane that leads to the village of Xamoudohori.
The owner Stefanos renovated the house with the help of a close friend who is an architect and interior designer. The final result is an interesting compromise with perhaps a touch more style and quirkiness than you would expect to find in a holiday villa that has 3 bedrooms and 4 shower rooms!
The house is built on two levels and terraced out of the hillside and still contains the original vaulted timbered ceilings, complimented by newly laid wooden floors and the use of huge slabs of gorgeous, soft creamy marble in the numerous shower rooms.
The main entrance door on the upper level leads into a beautifully fitted kitchen with full cooker, dishwasher and fridge-freezer, as well cupboards and ample work surfaces with a creamy marble splash back. To one side there's a large dining table and beyond here an archway leads through to an attractive and comfortably furnished sitting room with generous windows on two sides providing wonderful sea views, over the olive groves, to the distant Rodopou Peninsula.
The double-bedded master bedroom, situated off the sitting room, enjoys similar sea views, it has a large fitted wardrobe as well and TWO shower rooms, both containing a WC and wash hand basin!
Also on this level, off the kitchen, is a small bunk bedded room with a large chest of drawers and its own tiny en-suite shower room with WC and wash basin.
At the lower level, with a separate entrance is a studio, with two sofa beds, shower room with washing machine a small sitting area, with wardrobe and desk unit, complete with computer and internet facilities.
Outside, you will find patio furniture, sunbeds and umbrellas, and terraced lawns sloping down to the wood decking surrounding the pool. The garden terraces, have no fences or guardrails therefore have unprotected drops of up to 1.5 metres! We are duty bound to mention the possible unsuitability for the elderly, infirm, or young children. Particular care should be taken at night.

Guestbook
"Loved Villa Stefanos. Pool great and very clean. It's in a nice quiet location, only a 5-20 min walk to various taverna's (depending which you choose). I particularly liked "East of Eden". Locals very friendly. I just didn't want to leave!!

"Thank you very much for the use of your superb villa. It is beautiful and absolutely immaculate. The garden also is very lovely, (we are very keen gardeners). It is probably the lovliest villa we have stayed in. Crete is a lovely island and the Greeks are very friendly people." - Steven Pratt - Villa Stefanos - Oct 2007
"We have had a wonderful time in Crete again, and have been truly delighted with the accommodation. The house is perfectly situated for all amenities and has perfect views from the upper lawned area. We have thoroughly enjoyed making full use of the excellent swimming pool. This is probably the best equipped accommodation we have stayed in - a real home from home. It has made this a memorable holiday. Thank you" - P & J Budd - Villa Stefanos - Jul 2005
"We had a wonderfull stay at the Villa Stefanos, which proved to be an ideal retreat - a great location, peaceful with wonderfull views and a beautiful house. The villa has been refurbished with great taste and flair every object aesthetically pleasing so its a pleasure to simply be here, I can't recommend it highly enough. The olive oil is delicious too! Thank you for making us so welcome and confortable. G. Forrester 'Stefanos House' is a small piece of heaven to which we would like to return" - G & S Forrester

"Villa Stefanos
We had a delightful holiday, thank you very much. The property was a real home from home, with the added benefit of a beautiful garden and pool! I was impressed with the well equipped kitchen, as we do like to do a bit of cooking as well as eat out. You do get the best of both worlds at Villa Stefanos, being just a short stroll from the bars and tavernas, and the sea, but also having the peace and privacy of the villa.
