Villa Tepsichori, Kalamaki, Crete

Achilles & Terpsichori, Kalamaki, Crete
Set back above the coast road on a small private hill with lawned gardens to the rear, these two individual properties share their own 14 metre fan shaped swimming pool and enjoy an enviable position and superb seaviews. With the sandy beach of Kalamaki no more than 150 metres away and a number of nearby tavernas and small supermarkets, the situation couldn't be more convenient and car hire, although useful, is certainly not essential.

We have featured these properties in our programme almost since the conception of Freelance Holidays in 1984 and over the years they have become firm favourites of many of our customers. They are owned by Achilles and Manolis, two brothers from a wealthy and distinguished Chania family. Pavlos, Achilles son, who was not much more than a boy when we first met is now a medical practitioner in Chania and is following the family tradition of looking after our guests, while his father and Uncle look forward to a happy and well earned retirement for which we would like to wish them well! N.B. Some traffic noise is audible from the coast road.

Terpsichori Villa

Named after one of the many daughters of Zeus from Greek mythology, this large family villa has been very well furnished and equipped.

From the driveway below the villa, stairs with wrought iron balustrades lead up to a large terrace facing west with simply splendid seaviews. From the terrace, the main entrance door and patio doors lead into the spacious open plan living room with feature fireplace and a choice of comfortable sofas or bamboo easy chairs. At the far end of the living room is the dining area with a breakfast bar separating It from the fitted kitchen with electric cooker, fridge freezer, etc. A door from here leads to a separate dining terrace, complete with a purpose built barbecue. To the rear of the villa, the 3 bedrooms each have their own door to the east terrace and lawned gardens, where you can enjoy early morning tea in the sunshine. The twin bedroom and the bedroom with bunk beds, share a shower room, whilst the master bedroom has a double bed and its own en-suite bathroom, which also contains a washing machine.

With cool tiled floors throughout, the villa has just the right blend of elegance and comfort and of course, the sea view and sunsets are almost part of the furniture.
