Further details for this vacation rental in Kambia, Greece

Holidaying with extended family or friends ?: Villa Alena and Lara's House are an ideal holiday solution for families or friends wishing to enjoy a holiday together but who welcome their own self-contained living space at the end of the day. Both Alena and Lara sleep four but each has a sofa bed which can sleep an extra two if required when both are booked for joint holidays making a total sleeping capacity of 12 plus !! If you are looking to make a double booking check the availability of each property to see if the week(s) you require are available for both properties. Booked separately, we prefer a maximum of four persons. We welcome couples and family bookings and therefore DO NOT take bookings from same sex parties or young singles whose idea of holiday fun will differ considerably from that of a couple or young family. You can be assured therefore that if you are booking either Villa Alena or Lara's House separately, those sharing your holiday base will be of a similar and acceptable profile to yourselves.

Around & About.: Within your holiday environment there is everything you require for a relaxing holiday. However, we could not possibly, in the limited space available, list the many and varied attractions that await you on the island of Crete. The historical Minoan sites of Knossos and Phaistos, the glorious cities of Chania and Rethymnon with their Venetian architecture, modern shopping centres and vibrant harbour side cafes, tavernas and restaurants. The famous Samaria Gorge and fun-filled Water City waterpark are all within your reach as are the many blue-flag child-friendly beaches. Local agents in Almeritha and Kalives run excursions to other places of interest such as the island of Santorini. On your arrival at Villa Alena and/or Lara's House, an Information File will provide you with a wealth of information to make sure you are fully aware of everything your holiday has to offer.

Even better than it looks

VivandAlan London
Review Submitted: August 23, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We stayed in villa Alena in July 09. It's a rare thing to arrive and find that an apartment is even lovlier than it looks in the marketing photos. The views are absolutely stunning, the villa itself spacious and well equipped and there is a lovely veranda which is shady during the day and sunny in the evening. The villa is a little way up in the hills so we also got a good breeze which kept our little toddler cool, and Tony and his wife looked after us very well.

I would really highly recommend villa alena, and we hope to go back next year.

Welcome to pure tranquility and relaxation!

Mayna & Mark St Neots, Cambridgeshire
Review Submitted: August 17, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We have just returned from Crete where we had a fortnight stay at Villa Alena. Well I cannot get over the fact that I am not there still. I look at our holiday pictures and can only see smiles and sun.

It is our second return to Crete and to stay at Villa Alena was the best so far and would go back very soon. It was such a lovely surprise through the gates when we discovered the beautiful gardens and pool and had to dip in there upon arrival. We were there with our two young children and it was just perfect and a car essential! The villa was spacious and very well thought for families stay. Everything was absolutely spot on, Rita and Gerry are definitely people worth getting to know. They were so friendly and made our stay so comfortable.

We like to visit places and we did manage to, but what a great pleasure returning to the villa and pool after a long day out. I was fighting to have some days staying at the villa without any plans. We visited the various beaches of West Crete including Falakhara, Elafonnissi, Truchillos etc and the towns of Chania and Rhethymnon.

I always think that the world is wide and a lifetime would not suffice to see all the places we would like to see, but Crete and Villa Alena is a place I will be returning to and have recommended to many friends.

Go and stay there and you will understand what we have been on about. I hope I will always wake up in the morning with the view of Souda bay in mind from the balcony of our villa bedroom, pure tranquility!

Wonderful place for a holiday

Testview Hampshire
Review Submitted: July 27, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We have just had a wonderful holiday in Villa Alena, a real home from home. Lovely pool and colourful gardens full of buttterflies. Panoramic views of the bay and mountains - beautiful sunset views from the terrace. Tavernas and supermarket a few minutes away in Plaka and sandy beaches five minutes furher down the hill in Almyrida. Excellent base for sightseeing. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Views. Peace and Quiet.

travelbuff Berkshire, England
Review Submitted: June 29, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
This truly is a wonderful place to stay with marvelous views over the bay and the mountains. It is peaceful and serene and just the right place for sitting in the garden or under the olive tree and take in the breathtaking views.

The local villages have every amenity you need, including a cyber cafe! The local people are friendly and welcoming and the food is excellent with plenty of cafes and restaurants to choose from.

I would recommend this villa unequivocally to anyone who enjoys peace and quiet and beautiful views. Tony, the owner, is very helpful and accommodating and he takes great care in seeing that you have a most agreeable stay at his villas. We would definitely return a couple of times a year if we could!
