Villa Azure is an impressive modern villa with a large 52m2 infinity pool set on a hillside terrace in what we believe to be the most attractive and private location in the Chania area. As the name suggests, Villa Azure has outstanding views over the sparkling blue seas of Souda Bay to the north, and rich green valleys of olive trees and vineyards to the spectacular White Mountains in the south. Tucked away at the end of an unmade road, and hidden by olive, cypress and pine trees, Villa Azure is ideal for those seeking a beautiful hideaway that is nevertheless only a short distance from the sandy beaches, waterfront tavernas, and many amenities that the pretty seaside resorts of Almyrida and Kalives have to offer.
The thoughtful owners have carefully designed Villa Azure in order to incorporate modern facilities and comforts with traditional Cretan building materials such as local cypress wood for the high vaulted living room ceiling and outside pergolas, marble for the poolside bar, fireplace, and window ledges, and the beautiful creamy stone that comes from the nearby village of Gavalohori which has been used for the kitchen archway, columns, barbeque area, boundary walls, and flag stone paving. The villa’s main living area has a modern and attractive open plan layout that stays cool in the summer and takes full advantage of the sea breezes and wonderful sea and mountain views.

Villa Azure has more than ample furnishings and the comfortable feel of a well-equipped and very spacious home. In order to ensure total peace and privacy for each guest, none of the bedrooms share adjoining walls but every bedroom has its own en-suite shower room and A/C unit.

The majority of the villa is set on one level with only the games room / 5th sleeping area on the lower level, Villa Azure is incredibly versatile and absolutely ideal for everyone, from the elderly and handicapped, to romantic couples, and large families or groups of varying ages. Parents can enjoy some quiet time whilst children and teenagers amuse themselves in the games room and separate lounge area which has couches, Free WIFI internet access, a 42 inch flat screen TV, a satellite box, a DVD player, surround sound system, a CD player, a play station, a table football, a ping pong table, and a selection of DVD’s, play station games, card games and books. Two single beds are also located on the lower level for additional guests. Originally planned as a full-time home for the owners, the villa’s many modern comforts include a very well equipped kitchen, a utility room, internet access, a hair-dryer, ceiling fans, mosquito screens, white aluminium doors, window frames, and shutters.

Despite the light and airy interiors, Villa Azure’s guests will spend the majority of their holiday relaxing on the outdoor terraces, all of which enjoy gorgeous, uninterrupted views.

*** As of January 01, 2024, the Greek government have replaced the old “bed tax” with a new tax that is applied to all stays in short-term rental accommodation in Greece. The Climate Resilience Levy is a response to the devastating forest fires and floods that Greece has experienced in recent years, with the government hoping to generate extra funding that will go towards financing reconstruction, supporting victims, and increasing the country’s defences against future natural disasters.

The owners of all short-term rental accommodation are legally obliged to collect the Climate Resilience Levy as a separate tax for all overnight stays (per villa) as follows:
€10.00 per night on stays between March 01 and October 31, and €4.00 per night on stays between November 01 and February 28/29.

The Vrbo system does not yet have a section for collecting the Climate Resilience Levy and we have, therefore, had to add it to the billing section as an extra fee which will show on the booking as a Host Fee (until Vrbo update their system).

Whilst we understand the potential budget concerns of our guests, this tax/levy is beyond our control and we encourage our guests to see this as a way of contributing to the protection of the planet and the beautiful area where they are holidaying.
