Villa Katia

The dazzling, contemporary Villa Katia is one of a pair Cretan gems located in the laid-back, delightful resort of Kalamaki, just 5km from the stunning Venetian harbour of Chania. With four bedrooms, gorgeous living space, a second play or relaxation room, a gym and dreamy outside space, the villa is perfect for families or groups of friends. If there are more than eight of you, you could even consider taking Villa Katia’ sister villa, Villa Stathis, which also sleeps eight guests in luxurious comfort.

Kalamaki is just fabulous. With glistening soft sands, warm, turquoise sea, a fantastic range of restaurants, bars and taverns plus a variety of shops, it is a wonderful destination where you can truly relax and easily explore the many charms of Crete. If you don’t want to drive once you arrive at your villa, you can easily catch the local buses or take a taxi into Chania Old Town, Agia Marina or beyond. Chania Old Town is one of the most alluring, captivating towns of Crete. With picturesque, narrow alleys draped with colourful bougainvillea, a fabulous dining scene, atmospheric bars, the most amazing sunsets and gorgeous little boutiques lining the cobbled streets, you will quickly lose your heart and want to return time and time again. Crete is also home to three of the most sensational beaches in all of Greece, Balos Beach, Elafonissis and Falasarna. You really must try and visit at least one of them!

Villa Katia is built over three levels with the bedrooms sprinkled throughout the villa. The villa’s bright white, straight lined architecture is very striking and blends brilliantly with the glass and wood that is featured throughout the villa. Villa Katia comes with a top notch multimedia system and the best fittings imaginable. The interiors also offer dazzling white walls but enjoy vivid colour splashes and added contrast and texture. The interior designers have brilliantly designed gorgeous bathroom spaces, heavenly bedrooms and open plan luxury living. Vibrant contemporary artworks and colourful items of furniture add eye-catching colour pops. With huge floor-to-ceiling doors in every space, the rooms are drowned in natural light. The ground floor living space enjoys a minimalist feel with a fabulous vivid blue sofa facing towards the garden and pool and a stylish dining area enjoying a similar view. The kitchen is sleek and contemporary with wooden cabinetry, excellent appliances and thick, bright white worktops. The wood theme continues with a floating staircase that takes you up to the first floor and down to the lower ground level. One of the villa’s four bedrooms is located on the ground floor, a classy double with a luxurious kingsize bed, a fabulous ensuite bathroom and glass doors that slide open to a pretty private terrace.

The first floor is home to the master bedroom suite which boasts an immensely comfortable kingsize bed, a unique wooden shelved feature wall, a stunning ensuite bathroom and a beautifully furnished balcony. The other first floor bedroom is a delightful twin which also enjoys an immaculate, contemporary ensuite bathroom and a balcony where you can enjoy your morning cup of coffee or a chilled glass of local white wine while you are getting ready for the evening.

The final bedroom, a very attractive twin, is located on the lower ground floor. It opens to a peaceful terrace. All of the beds in Villa Katia are beautifully dressed with crisp cottons and gorgeous, quality bedspreads. This room’s ensuite, like the others, is very striking in its design and boasts the very best of fittings. Also on the lower ground floor is the second living space that can be used as a children’s play room or a relaxation space where you can watch a movie or read a book in peace. There is a very well-equipped gym which fitness enthusiasts will enjoy. Another staircase leads up from the lower floor directly to the garden and pool space.

The swimming pool is stunning, surrounded by luxury loungers which sit on smart astroturf. You can enjoy pre-dinner drinks on the trendy wooden outdoor furniture that sits on the terrace just outside the living area. At the side of the villa, you will discover a cute little shaded courtyard with lots of colourful cushions and greenery. It’s another perfect space for drinks and holiday chatter.

Guests choosing to stay at Villa Katia receive a welcome hamper. For those travelling with big families or a large group of friends, the double sofa bed in the lower living area raises the capacity up to ten guests.
