Overview

Pool Villa/House Modern Ideal for Kids Walk to Village Parking Space

Perched high above the Cretan coastline in a quaint village close to Chania, the charming Villa Proton is a 4-bedroom retreat boasting stunning views and designed to be your home away from home, accommodating up to 8 guests for an unforgettable holiday experience.

Stepping through the front door, guests are greeted by an entrance hall where an interior lift ensures wheelchair access and the utmost convenience.
Following the hallway brings you to the open-plan living area, a harmonious space seamlessly blending modern comfort with timeless touches of traditional elegance. The sprawling lounge invites you to unwind and bask in the glow of natural light streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows. Adorned with tasteful decor and warm earthy tones, this communal space effortlessly transitions into the outdoor shaded dining area, where a chic dining table for eight awaits memorable meals with loved ones.

The adjacent fully equipped kitchen is an epicurean delight where culinary enthusiasts can enjoy generous granite countertops (including a kitchen island), state-of-the-art appliances, and ample storage making it a breeze whether you’re tossing together a Greek Salad or preparing a holiday feast for family and friends. Picture yourself sipping your morning coffee on the terrace, absorbing panoramic views of the surrounding olive groves and the sparkling sea.

The four bedrooms, thoughtfully designed havens of tranquillity, cater to diverse preferences. The ground floor boasts the first of these bedrooms and ensures easy access for wheelchair users. This bedroom boasts a king-size bed, a private terrace and an ensuite bathroom with rain shower. A second bedroom mirrors this setup, with a king-size bed, terrace access, and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Ascending to the upper floors reveals the master suite, a sanctuary of comfort that boasts a king-sized bed, sitting area, an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, and two spectacular terraces, one looking out on the “white mountains” and another looking out to the Aegean Sea. A final bedroom features a king-size bed, a dedicated workspace, a separate terrace, and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Imagine yourself on any one of these private terraces with the gentle caress of the Mediterranean breeze on your face, a morning prelude to a day filled with exploration and relaxation.

Stepping outside to the expansive terrace provides guests with a private oasis featuring a sparkling pool surrounded by sun loungers and a shaded outdoor kitchen complete with BBQ, sink, fireplace, and a teak dining table for up to eight. The panoramic vistas of the Cretan landscape create a picturesque backdrop for alfresco dining. Throw in Villa Proton’s private fitness room with cardio equipment and there’s no shortage of opportunities to re-energise, rejuvenate, and relax.

Villa Proton embodies Cretan comfort and minimalistic style, promising an idyllic retreat where every corner reveals a new facet of Crete's beauty. Whether you're dining al fresco in the outdoor kitchen, lounging by the pool, or unwinding in the plush bedrooms, this villa is your canvas for creating cherished memories.

Surrounded by the lush greenery of the garden and panoramic sea views, Villa Proton is well-situated a short distance from Chania in a Cretan village boasting a supermarket, tavernas, and historic sites including an olive mill, Venetian wells, and a folklore museum.

Several spectacular beaches are close at hand, including Omprogialos Beach and Koutalas Beach. The beach is ideal for relaxation and families thanks to its golden sand, clear water, and protection from the elements.

The nearby Elephant Cave is an extraordinary diving spot, and the Archaeological Site of Aptera can be found on the drive to Chania. Aptera was once one of the most important city-states in Crete. Located on a plateau above Souda Bay, the site boasts ruins of the city fortifications, Roman cisterns and houses, a double-parted sanctuary, and even an ancient necropolis.

Chania itself is one of Crete’s two main cities. Walk through the old port’s picturesque alleys and historic neighbourhoods, stroll along to its 16th-century lighthouse and indulge yourself in the irresistible Cretan atmosphere and cuisine. Check out Chania’s Municipal Gardens to enjoy a cup of traditional Greek coffee in one of the island’s oldest and most atmospheric cafeterias, the Kipos Café.
Crete is a fantastic place for hiking, perhaps most notably in the Samaria Gorge where you’ll find the deserted village of Samaria along with breath-taking natural landscapes and a wide range of flora and fauna including the rare species of wild goat known as the kri-kri.

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 Ages
Ideal for Kids Ideal for Teens

There are many great family-friendly beaches in Chania and no shortage within a short distance from Villa Proton. However, if you feel like venturing farther afield, why not check out Platanias Beach on the western side of Chania. This long and sandy stretch has plenty of tourist facilities including water sports, lifeguards, eateries, and more.

Another fantastic option is Lake Kournas which offers a mellow day out with the young ones. This is the only freshwater lake on Crete, and its circumference can be walked in around an hour – making it small enough. The lake is also a great swim spot, or you can hire pedalos.

Horse riding at Deres Village is a fantastic option for kids of all ages. The company runs tours for riders of all levels of experience and what each tour has in common is stunning scenery as you climb through olive groves and gaze down through deep valleys and the open expanse of sea beyond.

If you’re looking to mix a bit of education into your children’s holiday experience there is no shortage of fantastic museums and sights, including the Archaeological Museum of Chania and the Maritime Museum of Chania. Or if natural history is more to the children’s liking, a short drive to the village of Ano Vouves provides the opportunity to get up close and personal with one of the oldest olive trees in the world. Though the tree’s exact age is unknown, conservative estimates place its age at over 2,000 years, while scientists from the University of Crete have estimated it to be as old as 4,000 years. What is more, the tree remains productive to this very day.

There are also several great waterparks in Crete, including Acqua Plus (the biggest and most popular). These parks are generally focused on the surrounds of Heraklion, which makes the day trip more encouraging.
