Welcome to our luxury C-22 Villa for Rent in Chania – Crete, a unique and totally private space being accessed only from one road, with no one overlooking it.
Perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking Souda Bay and across to the majestic White Mountains and above the Souda to Akrotiri road gives Villa C-22 its unique location. Its mix of stone, wood, glass and metal creates a New York-Swedish style while sitting in a Cretan olive grove.
The complex consists of the main tower-like building, with a separate stone cottage to the left. The main building has four luxury en-suite bedrooms located on the ground and first floor with the cottage being able to accommodate up to a further two people, giving a total of up to 10 bed spaces.
The interior spaces are luxurious with architecturally designed furniture and best quality material giving a sense of pampering. Big windows provide a feeling of lightness and connection to the outside.
Two swimming pools offer the option of swimming laps or continuous swimming. Both the lap pool and the endless pool are infinity pools and are heated. Both pools have stunning views across Souda Bay.
Early swimmers can enjoy the sunrise reflected in the pools making for a sense of oneness with the day. The lap pool, found at ground floor level, can be accessed directly from the two ground floor bedrooms or via steps from the cottage or the endless pool past the statue water feature.
The endless pool, with a shaded terrace next to it, is at the first-floor level with the outside kitchen and dining area to its side. The large terrace with a shaded fully equipped outside kitchen and dining area makes a perfect place for outside dining. A second area is next to this but has no shade. Ramps from the first and second floor give easy access to the pool and terrace.
Wi-fi internet is available throughout the entire property.
The Main Villa: Four double ensuite bedrooms take up the ground and first floor. A metal and wood staircase gives access to each floor. A glass atrium extends upwards to the top floor housing a large Ficus Alii, or Amstel King tree growing inside, bringing nature into the home. The top floor is where you will find the living area and fully equipped kitchen, with a large covered and hanging balcony with spectacular views of the whole of the Bay. A metal and wood staircase connects the floors internally with ramps and platforms externally giving access to each floor and to the leisure and outside dining areas.
The Cottage: An escape within an escape. Set slightly apart from the main Villa, this cozy apartment has a good-sized bedroom, a full bathroom with walk-in shower, a kitchenette and a sitting office area on a mezzanine floor. Stepping Stones lead one to the lap pool in one direction and the main Villa in the other.
The Apartment: This ultra-modern metal and glass apartment is set within excavated rock and beneath the outside living area. Having a large bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a living room and small kitchen it is large enough to accommodate up to four people if we set up the sofa bed. The floor to ceiling glass walls ensure plenty of light giving an open and airy feeling.
Being located on the Akrotiri has definite benefits. Akrotiri is known for the sandy beaches of Marathi, Kalathas, Stavros and Tersanas as well as Seitan Limani.
There are many good places to eat and the main amenities one needs. Villa C-22 is also just twenty minutes’ drive to the beautiful Venetian city of Chania where one can wander through the street admiring the Venetian villas and see the history of the city through the archaeological digs.
Chania offers a range of eating experiences from ‘gyros’ to fine dining. The Villa is also just a few minutes to the Souda to Akrotiri road which means it takes just 20 minutes to be on the national road giving one the opportunity to explore further west, to the stunning beaches of Elafonissi and Falassarna, or journey east to Rethymnon and beyond.
This amazing location does however mean that the Souda-Akrotiri road runs below the Villa so glass panels have been installed at the end of the infinity lap pool and the shaded sitting area by the endless pool to reduce the inevitable noise heard specifically when on the two front balconies and the endless pool and outside living area.
