Villa Annie Crete - Villa Annie Crete

Nice place to stay lovely location

Paradise found! We stopped at Villa Annie for a glorious week at the beginning of June 2019. Set in private, gated grounds on the crest of a hill, the villa offers breathtaking 360 views to the sea, the mountains and the picturesque villages of the Apokoronas. Location-wise, we were a 6 min drive to Almyrida beach and a bit less to the beaches at Kera and Kalives. Airport was around 30 mins. Lovely 15 min evening walk to the tavernas in Douliana. 33 degrees by the large pool, but the Villa was wonderfully cool with its high, vaulted, cedar wood ceilings, underfloor and fan-coil cooling (a very pleasant and noticeably different atmosphere from the irritating dryness of air-conditioning). Magical evenings at Villa Annie under star-studded skies with the scent of lavender, rosemary and thyme drifting in from the gardens on the gentle north-south breeze. Understand the owners are laying a large lawn area to the front of the villa, which will make a great place for the kids to play in the shade of several ancient oak and carob trees. Beautifully appointed Siemens kitchen got my wife quite jealous…never got chance to use the summer kitchen. Beds and bedrooms sumptuous - kids loved the spa-jet showers - couldn’t get them out… Been on more than a few villa holidays over the years - Villa Annie was the truly stand out experience - we’ve already booked for next year :) Anthony Mitchell
