About this property

Jasmine villa is situated in our large landscaped gardens close to the pool

Jasmine is one of our three beautiful villas set in our spacious landscaped gardens which have been carefully chosen for their beautiful flowers and foliage, allowing for a private experience, with mature trees providing shade from the sun.

Our emerald green lawns give the opportunity to lay back and sunbath around the pool, or play a few lawn games.

The pool is a massive 20 meters by 10 meters, perfect for relaxing in or for the serious swimmer to get some lengths in. The pool is situated 50 meters from the villa and shared with the other 2 villas. Available 24hrs a day.

The villa has two bedrooms, one large double and an even bigger triple, with the option of adding an extra single bed. There is a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. Space to sit inside and eat or enjoy our outside patio area with gas BBQ for alfresco dinning.

We have a gated private parking spot for each villa. Guests are very welcome to enjoy our various gardens at any time to relax and enjoy the Cretan flowers and wildlife in perfect tranquility.

Our village is located at the foot of the mountain Malaxa, and has the feel of a traditional Greek village, yet only 4km from Chania. There are two local mini markets a chemist and a coffee shop. There is also a traditional taverna serving food and drink.

Meltemaki beach is 2km away it is a beautiful sandy beach popular with the locals. There is a fish taverna, perfect for experiencing authentic Mediterranean seafood.

There is a village bus stop 30 meters from the entrance to the car park, and a bus stop 1km away on the main road from Souda to Chania, buses run every 20 minutes from there and three times a day from the village bus stop.
Taxis from the center of Chania back to Crete retreat are around 8 euro.

Crete retreat is a family run business and we live on site so are available if needed. We are animal lovers with dogs, cats, chickens and parakeets kept within our own premises. Guests are welcome to arrange a visit.

In our opinion Crete Retreat is a perfect environment for people who wish to explore and enjoy Crete, from a beautiful and unique oasis.

Nice lodging near Chania
Convenient lodging with a large pool. Within walking distance of Souda with supermarket, ATM and a Baker. It's easy to get around in the area by bus and it's a good starting point for excursions. Very nice and helpful landlord.

Excellent location of the house

Friendly Owner, Good Setting, Nice Villa
We stayed 10 days with 3 teenage boys so the extra bathroom was very helpful - villa was good, few areas needed some upgrade but fine for our stay. Pool was great. Loved Crete and proximity to village and local town and beautiful Chania a short drive/bus ride away. Well situated to explore the west end of Crete. Ian, the owner was very friendly and helpful.

Peaceful hideaway near Chania
We stayed for 1 week in June and it was absolutely gorgeous! Ian is a terrific host, discrete and helpful. His garden is lovingly tended and he is always followed by his entourage of friendly dogs and the occasional cat. The pool is utterly wonderful, it's huge and there are lots of sun loungers dotted about for your use and it's floodlit at night. The villa is simple but just right, with a lovely covered veranda to sit out on and eat your breakfast. We were very comfortable and it's a little oasis from the bustle of being on the beach or in Chania. It's tucked away, you can walk to a cafe and taverna and the local shop but we never got round to it (!). It's very close to Souda, feels more like being in a suburb rather than a village but it's very peaceful and a 15 minute drive into the heart of Chania. You can also take the bus in from the end of the road. We were in a perfect location for various lovely beaches all about 20 minutes away by car and great sites like Aptera. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

About the host

Hosted by Mr Ian Johnson

Host profile image
Eighteen years ago we finally realized our long held dream and set off from England to our new life on the warm and sunny island of Crete. We had already purchased a plot of land with a house and one acre of orange trees and olive trees.

In the time honoured fashion of the island it took over a year to overcome the paperwork and legalities connected with our purchase but then we were able to start our huge project.

The gardens and villas slowly took shape, each year bringing exciting changes as the trees and plants matured. The result is now three villas set in beautiful gardens. Having been to Greece on previous occasions we wanted to make the accommodation spacious. A large bathroom was a must and raised sun terraces were top priority. We wanted to create individual privacy without being isolated and a pool that you could really swim in.

Why they chose this property

Crete Retreat is a unique and huge landscaped garden with mature shady trees, green lawns, exotic plants and an extra large 24/7 swimming pool.
A perfect environment for people who wish to enjoy Crete, the fresh air, the sun, the shade, the food, the wine all made complete with a large barbeque for a perfect evening meal.
Our pet cats and dogs live together in harmony, a memorable experience especially for children.
Here, Mums and Dads have a great opportunity to relax together or find space, peace and quiet knowing that their family are in a safe enclosed environment.
Our location makes it easy to explore the important historical sites dotted around, try Aptera, ten minutes along the motorway, which is an ancient Roman settlement covering several acres. We are also positioned on 42nd street, the site of the battle of Crete which is marked by a plaque and information.
