IN BRIEF
Studio in Pithari,Akrotiri,15 minutes away from city of Chania, the sea, the airport, as well as our port and National Road. It's ideal for quite summer and winter holidays for couples. The fact that it is near the cosmopolitan city, makes it convenient. A compeletely equiped, sunny appartment, which is a part of a bigger house built in a private area of four acres, offers joy, peace and quite, as well as a wonderful view.
OUR PLACE
It is a studio of 50 sqm, fully equipped in a modern style, yet in direct contact and harmony with the nature around it. Situated on the eastern side of a larger home where our family lives, on a private plot of 4 acres full of olive trees and pine trees, shrubs, herbs and wildflowers of local flora and with a splendid view of the Souda bay and the mountain range of the White Mountains.All around, the tweets of birds and the hum of cicadas is heard.
To get to the apartment, you pass through a private 70-meter alley that leads to a large park (shared), cross the white-fenced courtyard of the central residence from where a small stone staircase leads to the entrance.
The appartment is dominated by the element of natural wood. Basic furniture were designed and constructed in hand, with love and taste, while some vintage pieces of special beauty are distinguished, such as the desk and two mirrors of the bedroom and bathroom, the 40's radio and the old sewing machine.The apartment is designed for people who love nature as it is located next to a natural rock garden, which is organised as a herb garden, partly shaded by pine trees. Already in the entrance of the apartment awaits visitors a "rural" corner, with gardening tools for those who want to spend some time soaking in the garden and learning from the owner the uses and qualities of Cretan herbs.
A traditional Cretan treat is welcoming you while the home is equipped with everything that includes a full house as well as everything you may need for your personal care. A full kitchen with filter and espresso coffee makers, a desk to touch your laptop, a comfortable living room and a double handmade bed, dominating the highest level of the house, from which one can enjoy day and night the stunning sea and mountain view from the large windows.The view is even better than the balcony of the studio, which "sees" also towards the rock garden and the small pine forest. From here, you can watch the most beautiful sunrise: You'll have to sucrifice your lie-in, but it will be unforgettable!
We named our property "Garden of Zephyros" because it accepts almost all year the favorable influence of the winds, sometimes strong and sometimes gentle and relaxing.
The apartment is a perfect seasonal observatory, located 300 meters above sea level.
VISITORS ACCESS
There is a shared parking lot and a big front yard. You can explore the olive grove, meet Cretan flora (and fauna) in our rock garden and learn from us about Cretan herbs and their properties or, you can relax under the pines trees, joining an incredible atmosphere.
ACTIVITIES
After the necessary discussion, we can provide you access to several services like private guided tours at the Cretan mountains and gorges, private sailboat cruises around Balo's and Gramvusa's beautiful waters. Furthermore, in our grounds we can organise healing massage sessions and private yoga lessons by local professionals, as well as creative employment workshops with upcycling for children from 5-12 y.o.
