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.

We stayed here in July and October 2007

J&K Edinburgh
Review Submitted: January 13, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2007
The villa is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you need. The gardens are wonderful, well maintained, and the views just have to be seen to be believed, especially the sunsets.

The grounds and pool are shared with the villa next door but the garden is more than big enough for any privacy you will need.

A car is pretty much essential here but anything you need is only a few minutes away by car, beach, restaurants, shops etc.

We stayed here in the summer and autumn and will be back!

Our favourite house in Crete! August 2009

Julie, Phil, James & Jack Chesterfield, Derbyshire
Review Submitted: September 11, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We have stayed in the area of Crete several times over the past 4 years & this is by far the best property we have ever rented. The house is spacious, very clean, equiped to a high standard & well maintained. The gardens are beautiful & very well looked after by Christine, with breathtaking views of Souda Bay & the White Mountains. For the perfect tranquil spot the seat under the olive tree is not to be missed! Our 2 boys made excellent use of the beautiful swimming pool which again was always clean & well maintained.
The surrounding area is beautiful & the Cretan hospitality second to none - just a word of warning BEWARE OF THE RAKI!! (the raki with honey slips down a treat!)
During our stay the other property was occupied by a lovely, friendly Italian family & there was more than enough outdoor space for us all.
We would highly recommend Lara's House to anyone who is considering renting a property in this part of Crete.
Thank you Tony for your thoughful assistance prior to departure & many thanks for sharing your beautiful house with us. Wish we were still there as we are missing it very much!!

Exceeded all our expectations

Ian and Yvonne Stotfold, Bedfordshire, England
Review Submitted: June 22, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Our usual holiday routine is to spend most of our time visiting all the tourist attractions. However, the house, gardens and pool were so good that we spent almost all of our holiday sitting admiring the view and dipping in the pool. Our only outings were to two short trips to Almerida and Kalives, then a day in Chania which included a visit to the war graves cemetery.

The house was spotlessly clean and tidy, the gardens well maintained and the pool perfect. The local restaurants and bars in Plaka and Kokino were reasonably priced and excellent quality. Everyone we met was very welcoming.

This was our first visit to Crete and we would like to return sometime, perhaps taking other members of our family to make a larger party and booking both Villa Alena and Lara’s House. There is so much more to see and do there – if only we could manage to drag ourselves away from the poolside and beautiful view.

our best holiday yet

michael and shirley Manchester England
Review Submitted: January 13, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2007
As a family we vhave been going to Crete now for about 25 years mostly the north western part due to the fact thats where my mother comes from.We have stayed at various places all self catering, I suppose you could call us Cretaphiles. This year will be our fourth time at Laras House, this time just me and my wife. Two years ago both me, my wife our two now grown up children with their partners and one grandchild stayed in Villa Elena and Laras House and it was without doubt our best holiday yet. As we drove through the gates on arrival my daughters rsponse was "is this all ours". Most evenings we went to one of the local resorts of Almeritha or Kalyves where you have the opportunity to meet the friendly locals and sample the excellent food in one of the many tavernas. We are now looking forward to our next one, sitting on the balcony with uninterrupted views over Souda Bay and the White Mountains,watching the fantastic sunsets. Unfortunately one of us has a mobility problem and uses a wheelchair but a couple of alterations kindly made by the owner Tony meant we never had any problems and everything was accessible. I could go on and probably write a book on the villages and people of Crete but I am slightly biased being half Cretan and all I can say is go and expereince it and there is no better place to do it from.
