Villa Almyra, Almirida Bay Ocean View Villas, Almirida, Crete

An exclusive community of three architect designed houses in privileged position above the shoreline in the charming seaside village of Almirida and just 200 ms from the harbour. They are the consummate creation of Pavlos Papadakis, well known local architect, showcasing his unquestionable flair for contemporary design; he has subsequently embellished them to create uniquely contrasting atmospheres. With the location itself setting the scene, each house, identical in layout is finished in a unique style with the use of marble, stone and wood combining to blend with their environment, they offer 5* accommodation in a very relaxed Cretan setting.
The copious open living space on the ground floor is flooded with light from floor to ceiling windows and blends seamlessly lounging and dining with the kitchen area.
Two double ensuite bedrooms on the first floor, share a deep and generous balcony and a third, spacious double bedroom with its own sunken terrace/solarium shares the lower level with a somewhat self indulgent sauna/Hamm am suite. Outside, private spaces have been created within the pretty gardens with terraces for dining and covered outside lounging areas but the jewel in the crown of each villa has to be its extravagantly sized swimming pool with uninterrupted and spectacular sea view.

Consideration has been given to each aspect of your holiday accommodation. Kitchen units and fittings are installed to a very high spec, and incorporate dishwashers, full cookers, microwaves, large fridge freezers, as well as espresso coffee machines and juicers. Satellite TV in the living area (as well as each bedroom) also delivers surround sound music throughout the villa. Quiet running air conditioning and central heating ensures that temperatures remain comfortable in all seasons. 
Having suffered from a bad back for some years Pavlos was recommended a Swedish manufactured Dux bed. He is now such a convert that he has chosen to fit them in all bedrooms to ensure an exceptional nights sleep. Guests can choose whether to have beds made up as twins or doubles as mattresses can be changed accordingly and to further encourage sweet dreams, pillows can be selected from a choice of 3 varying depths.
All showers are fitted with rain shower heads and all baths have a hydro massage facility, as does one of the showers in the Hamm am suite. In addition to house towels, pool towels are supplied, together with bathrobes, slippers and luxury products in the bathrooms. 

On request we can provide daily maid service, traditionally cooked meal delivery to your Villa or butler service for dinner parties all at an extra charge, as well as beautician or masseuse.

These premium Villas offer outstanding facilities and comfort for a special occasion such as a wedding party or honeymoon. For a large party they would combine well to make a quite exceptional holiday venue.
