Wake up and see the sea, when you vacation in Villa Asime, nestled into the hillside on the west coast of the Greek island of Crete, in the azure waters of the Aegean Sea. This incredible ultra-modern villa has four spacious double bedrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests. The detached, three-storey villa is set in two thousand square metres of grounds, that is home to lush green lawns, a sea view terrace, and your own private infinity swimming pool.
Villa Asime commands sweeping sea views over the famous Falasarna Bay, regularly voted one of the top ten beaches in Europe, and within walking distance of your holiday home. This architect-designed property is constructed out of local stone, which is used throughout the villa, glass-fronted terraces and balconies, and floor-to-ceiling windows, to maximise those magnificent views. The villa comes complete with secure parking, and complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout. The interiors are stunning, the attention to detail is meticulous, the furnishings are cool and contemporary, there’s lots of natural wood, and the décor is a sophisticated colour palette of crisp, clean whites, with shades of grey and beige, and hues of blues highlights.
Enter the villa at ground floor level, where you will find a breathtaking, bright, and breezy, open plan, sea view living space. The seating area has a soft grey designer sofa, a turquoise velvet chair, and a coffee table, facing a flat-screen satellite television. The smart six-seater dining set is ideal for some impressive indoor entertaining. The adjacent white and silver grey kitchen is fully equipped with all the appliances you will need to cater for your holiday, including a family-size fridge freezer with a water dispenser. The first of the four beautifully-appointed bedrooms can be found on this floor. The bedroom has a queen size bed, smart TV, picture window sea views, an ensuite shower room, and pool access, perfect for a swim before breakfast. A guest cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Take the stairs to the upper floor, where there are two double bedrooms, both with handcrafted fitted furniture, ensuite shower rooms, and glass-fronted sea-view balconies. One room has a convertible king-size bed, the other has a queen-size bed and a smart TV. Take the stairs to the lower level, where there is a second large living area, a double bedroom with a queen size bed, a separate shared shower room, and a laundry room with a washer and dryer. The seating area has two toffee-coloured sofas, a smart TV, a PlayStation5 console, and board games. There is a full-size, fully-equipped kitchen to rustle up some supper whilst watching your favourite films and serve it at the six-seater dining set.
Step out onto the uninterrupted sea view tiled terrace, which is home to a superb centrepiece, ladder entry, and infinity swimming pool. The pool is surrounded by state-of-the-art, deep-cushioned, sun loungers, with coconut-matting parasols for shade. A soft seating area is perfectly positioned under the veranda, with mesmerising sea views. Sunbathe on the well-manicured lawn, and enjoy a game of ping pong, before cooling down under the refreshing outdoor shower. As dusk falls, gather on the terrace for cocktails and watch the famous fire-red sunsets. Take a seat at the eight-seater dining set, and feast alfresco under the twinkling stars, with dishes freshly grilled from the barbeque.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa AsimeVilla Asime is perfectly positioned overlooking the much acclaimed Falasarna beach, on the west coast of the Greek island of Crete, in the azure waters of the Aegean Sea. The villa is a scenic sixty-eight kilometres drive from Chania International Airport, and fifty-seven from the port of Souda if you are island hopping. The stunning Falasarna sandy beaches are just eight hundred metres from the villa, a steep walk downhill to turquoise blue seas, famous for its water sports, including jet skiing, windsurfing, paragliding, and fishing. For those who prefer a more relaxing day, the west-facing beach delivers the most breathtakingly beautiful sky on fire sunsets.
The west coast is home to some of Crete’s best beaches, go north to scuba dive in Kissamos and Balos, and go south to Sfinari, and the must-see pink sands of Elafonisi. The village of Falasarna has a minimarket for your holiday supplies, and a handful of cafes, bars, and tavernas to sample the local fare. The history of the area can be found at the Hellenistic fort and the ancient inland harbour. Go to Chania, and stroll the narrow streets of the old town, walk down to the Venetian harbour, and view the sixteenth-century lighthouse. Visit the Nautical and Archaeological Museums, then meander around the Municipal Gardens, before enjoying a delicious dinner of freshly caught fish at a waterfront restaurant. See the port of Souda, home to the archaeological site of ancient Aptera, and an Ottoman fort. Explore the three hundred caves the island hides, hike over hillsides, streams, and rocky ravines to discover watermills and ruins, and stop along the way at a local winery to taste the fruits of the many vineyards.
All aboard a boat trip, where you can swim and snorkel, or scuba dive underwater ruins, before sunbathing on deck. Spend the day in the port town of Heraklion. Visit the ancient Palace of Knossos, and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, walk along the Venetian walls, and stroll through the old quarter, where you can shop for souvenirs. Go further afield to Vai, Crete’s easternmost tip, where you will find lush forests and a unique date palm. Explore Psychro Cave, reputedly the birthplace of Zeus, and rock climb Mount Ida to find the Ideon Cave. Sitia Geopark is three hundred and fifty square kilometres of the island’s diverse ecosystem, where you can trek through gorges, bathe on beaches, walk the wetlands, and bird-watch. Hike the Richtis Gorge, stroll through streams to reach the twenty-metre waterfall, and then can cool off in the inviting pool.
Find solace in the fifteenth-century Toplou Monastery, and admire its beautiful Byzantine icons. From the exclusive town of Elounda take a boat tour to the intriguing island of Spinalonga, once a former leper colony with a Venetian fortress, and now an open-air museum. Go to the harbour town of Agios Nikolaos, which uniquely houses a lake in its centre, with an Archaeological Museum full of Minoan treasures, and lots of shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants in which to sit, and watch the local life go by.

How to reach Chania
There are two ways to reach Chania: either by flight or by ferry.
By plane: Chania Airport (CHQ) is only a 20 minutes ride away from central Chania. During the summer months, frequents overseas and domestic flights are performed. In most of the cases, there are available buses that connect Chania city and most of the villas. You can also hire a car from one of the many rental companies at the airport, or alternatively get a taxi to bring you right to your doorstep.
By ferry: If you choose to do an island-hopping trip and use the ferry as a method of transportation, then the closest port is in Souda, only 8km from the centre of Chania. Only ferries from Piraeus in Athens or Heraklion in Crete. Heraklion port has a wider choice: you can also take a ferry from other Greek islands like Santorini, Mykonos or Paros, but you will have to take a longer bus ride to reach your villa. You can easily book your ferry tickets using the link below or the booking engine.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThere are loads of things to do and places to see for your kids of all ages when you stay at Villa Asime. Starting with your own private pool, and as there are no set hours, they can splash and swim all day. The villa is set in its own secure grounds with a ping pong table, where it is safe to play. The Cretan coastline is populated with organised family-friendly beaches, most highly recommended near the villa are Falassarna, Elafonissi, Marmara, Kedrodasos, and Gialiskari. The Aegean Sea is a safe place to enjoy snorkelling and underwater fish spotting, whilst for older children there are windsurfing and scuba diving schools to teach them a new skill.
Limnoupoli Amusement Park is near the villa, offering lots of slippy waterslides and family-friendly facilities. Pista Park is perfect for your formula one wannabee, with a go-kart circuit to keep them on track. Watercity Waterpark is an aquatic park set in eighty-seven thousand square metres, with thirty-six water games, lots of swimming pools, and slippy slides to keep your kids amused all day. Take them to Chania, where there are museums and fortresses, municipal and botanical gardens, harbours with lighthouses, and lots of souvenir shops, and cafes and restaurants too. Children love a day out in Heraklion, ignite their interest in history with a visit to the Palace of Knossos and the Archaeological Museum, walk along the harbour walls, and enjoy a meal of local mezes in a family-friendly local taverna. Your kids will love the CRETaquarium, located in the town of Gournes, which is home to two and a half thousand aquatic species housed in sixty fish tanks.
After the aquarium, take the short drive to Dinosauria Park, where you will find animatronic dinosaur models and fossil replicas. Let them get lost in the Greek mythology Labyrinth Park maze, where they can also practice their putting at the mini golf, learn to ride horseback or shoot some arrows with a bit of archery. Go cross country in an off-road Land Rover and open-top Jeep Safari to see the Cretan countryside in a thrilling ride. Travel further afield to Agios Nikolaos, a statue spot around the town’s central lake, climb the culture of contemporary art stairs, and learn about Minoan history in the Archaeological Museum.
Hike the island to see the local flora and fauna, find the cave that Zeus was born in, follow the stream trail to hidden waterfalls, and visit the open-air Sitia Geopark and discover Crete’s diverse ecosystem. A visit to Crete isn’t complete without a trip to Spinalonga, now an open-air museum, reached by a short boat trip from Elounda, the home of a former leper colony and a ruined Venetian fortress, and now the setting for many a film, it makes for a fascinating day out for children and adults alike.
