Souda Bay View

What could be better than sitting out on the huge terrace enjoying the morning sun and a stunning sea view? Amazing villa!

We had a really beautiful stay at Souda Bay View villa. Its a stunning holiday home. There are amazing sights and sounds of the sea throughout the property. The panoramic views across the bay are to die for. We stayed there in early April and so there was a cool breeze but I can imagine that in the summer months the sea breeze would be a life saver. This villa has multiple outdoor amenities; the beautiful pool area; the terrace off the living room ideal for sundowners; the barbecue / breakfast area that catches the morning sun complete with giant-sized chess board; and finally the pretty much private beach area which, although admittedly accessed by a steep and slightly precarious track, became part of our daily routine. The water is crystal clear and a comfortable 16C for swimming in April. The sleeping accommodation was just as described by Beach Villas. The beds were comfortable. The whole villa, both inside and outside, was impeccably clean on our arrival. We were greeted by our host Stratos the morning after our overnight arrival. Stratos gave us a very warm, Greek welcome. It makes such a difference when your host makes time to chat and to ensure that you feel completely at home. Stratos is a real gent! Theres plenty to see nearby. The archaeological sites at Aptera are mind boggling in terms of the history they present to you almost at your doorstep. They are so accessible and almost understated; a definite must-see. Make sure to visit "The Aptera" Tavern, less than 10 minutes drive away which serves fantastic Greek food, looking onto snow capped mountains to the south (at least in April!). Chania, to the northwest, is about a 20 minutes drive and is a busy seaside town with some really nice restaurants. Its great for an evening trip. We dined twice at a family-owned restaurant called "Steki" located on a beautiful little side street near the town centre (really amazing Greek food). All in all, our holiday was a memorable one, made all the more so by our stay at this really special cliff top villa "Souda Bay View". Well be back.

A very spacious villa with a view to die for. Souda Bay View is a really straightforward drive from Chania Airport, very easy to find. Its in a great position overlooking Souda Bay, with the most glorious sunsets. With only five of us we were spoilt for choice with the bedrooms, the boys opting for the separate apartment which they loved. Well equipped kitchen and a big fridge, all very practical, and the option to dine inside or out with big tables and a BBQ. The pool is a good size and very clean, theres lots of space to relax on sunbeds and big parasols for shade. We all loved the beach, which felt totally private - just pop through a little gate then a short walk down a slope. Clear water and lots of fish to see - great snorkelling. The track down to the villa is quite steep so youll need a car with a bit of oomph to get back up! A good sized supermarket, bakeries, coffee shops and restaurants just a few minutes drive away in Kalyves. I would book another holiday here at the drop of a hat. Sue

We loved our stay in your beautiful house! The view was amazing. we walked down to the ocean a couple of Times' and really enjoyed the privacy in the little bay. The pool was perfect and all of the 5 kids (age 1-5) really enjoyed it. and we as parents were happy to see the pool was downstairs and that there were a gate giving the kids a bit harder time to try to go there on their own. Again, and overall, we loved our stay at the villa!

We add a first class vacation full of joy and discoveries. The views from the front deck of the Souda Bay villa are simply enchanting and even though I have traveled a lot in my life, I have never had a villa with such views on the Mediterranean.. People in Crete are very welcoming, the food is great and so is the wine. An absolute must is the freshly squeezed orange juice. The beaches are extremely nice, with clear waters and good snorkeling from some. The rides in the mountains are superb. Strolling through the old towns is extremely nice and Chanias old town is only fifteen minutes away whilst Rethymnos old town (narrower streets, extremely nice place) is less than one hour and well worth the ride.e Both road to the South (coastal and through mountains) are extremely scenic. In a nutshell, go to Crete for a great vacation!

It is a fantastic villa in a beautiful setting. The pool and villa were cleaned to very high standards throughout our stay. This is the fourth time we have used Beach Villas and would consider doing so again.
