Villa Kournedes sits on a large plot, is comfortably furnished and surrounded by Cypress trees. The landscape looking along the valley to the sea is a vibrant contrast of evergreen trees against the deep reds and browns of the mountains (snow capped in the cooler months) and the deep blue of the sea. With no neighbours to worry about, you can relax in the privacy of the large swimming pool, with superb views, hearing occasional ringing of distant goat bells in the valley below. Although private, the property is less than a mile (1.5km) from the centre of the village of Gavalohori with mini markets, tavernas and pastry shop. Its less than 5 kms from the blue flag -child- friendly - sandy beach and watersport facilities of Almirida and approximately 30km to the Venetian port of Chania.
The three bedrooms, each with ensuite bathroom, have views of mountains and/or sea - imagine waking to breath taking views every day! The bedrooms have large terraces with ample space to sun bath.
But if you really want to get away from it - walking up the gated, external staircase to the roof terrace provides you with even more surprises. A second living area overlooking the treetops provides views that are in a league of their own. (One local describing them as 'better than a tonic!')
All rooms have air conditioning and central heating for year round comfort. The lounge leads directly onto the swimming pool terrace via a large, shady veranda with feature stone seat wrapping around the building.
A further veranda, off the well equipped kitchen, provides an ideal breakfast area with scenic views.
The lounge has an integrated surround sound DVD, CD system that allows iPods to be connected (and charged) so you can listen to your favourate music or use those provided. USB devices connect to play media files. A digital safe, large enough to store a laptop and/or valuables, provides security and peace of mind.
