Set amid an estate of ancient olive trees with sweeping views across the Cretan Sea and the Kissamos Peninsula, Villa Giovanta offers a tranquil escape for families or groups of up to ten. Positioned on a gentle hillside above the village of Kontomari, this spacious five-bedroom villa includes a self-contained ground floor apartment, ideal for guests seeking added privacy.

Just one and a half kilometres from the peaceful beach of Pirgos Psileronou and close to Maleme and lively Platanias, Villa Giovanta enjoys a superb location for exploring western Crete. The Venetian harbour and atmospheric Old Town of Chania lie only twenty-five minutes away, while Balos, Elafonisi and Falasarna beaches are within easy reach. The dramatic Samaria Gorge also offers a memorable day trip.

The villa's beautifully landscaped gardens feature a large private pool with a shallow section for children, shaded terraces, and an outdoor kitchen with a built-in barbecue, wood oven, and bar, ideal for al fresco dining and sunset drinks.

Inside, the main villa spans two floors with a double-height living area, traditional dining room and country-style kitchen. Upstairs are three further bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms. The separate apartment includes a lounge, kitchen, double bedroom, single bed and bathroom, perfect for grandparents or a small family.

What Oliver loves...

  • Villa Giovanta enjoys a wonderfully secluded spot surrounding by olive groves. It is so peaceful!
  • The views from the villa are truly mesmerising. You can see across the olive groves to the sea and it is wonderful!
  • The villa boasts a larger than average pool which is surrounded by a gorgeous garden. It is a great spot to relax with your holiday books while your barbecue masters cook a feast on the barbecue and in the wood oven!
  • There are amazing beaches within easy reach of the villa including the famous beaches of Falasarna, Elafonisi and Balos. They are all spectacular and you should definitely visit at least one of them!

What you should know

  • The villa comes with an independent ground floor apartment with living space, one bedroom, a bathroom and an extra single bed. This would be perfect for grandparents or a couple with a small child but it should not be used for young children on their own
  • The villa is traditional in design with vintage furnishings so will not appeal to those that prefer a contemporary look
  • You must make sure that you have time to visit Chania Old Town. It is captivating and utterly beautiful with a fantastic dining scene. Although there are plenty of walk-in waterside eateries, it is best to book in advance for some of the more popular restaurants such as Tamam and Pallas with its gorgeous rooftop dining space
