Private modern Villa with pool, Free WiFi and close to blue flag beaches.

Ready for a private Villa holiday? Modern detached villa that sleeps 4 easily with stunning views of Souda Bay with a spectacular mountain backdrop - the best of both worlds. The Villa is fully equipped, has two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and lounge area. There is private parking, a private garden and shared use of a very large pool. The Villa is located in the village of Kokkino Chorio (named Red Village on account of the fertile soil) and made famous by the film Zorba the Greek, this location offers a great mix of peace, quiet but no so remote that you need to drive for a meal or drink. The local Taverna and minimarket are only a stroll away.

Local villages of Plaka and Drapanos are nearby offering an assortment of tavernas and mini-markets and some local farmers selling their produce of honey, wine, raki, fruits and vegetables as well as olive oil of course! The superb beach resort of Almyrida with it's excellent restaurants, low key nightlife is less than 7 mins away by car. Kalyves is a further 5 mins round the bay, again with an excellent range of restaurants and shops. Both resorts offer Blue Flag accredited beaches and water sports. You can even learn to Scuba Dive, wind surf or snorkel. Cycling hire, car and motor bike hire available to get around the Island. Taxi service available also!

Modern Cretan villa
Villa absolutely delightful, well appointed, comfortable, spotlessly clean. Views stunning. Pool excellent, but we were surprised to find it was shared with 4 other villas in a small development. Not explained in on line listing; the neighbouring Villa Venus, also on vrbo, is up front about this.

We had such a wonderful time in this fabulous place. It was just perfect with 2 large balconies overlooking the sea and the mountains- We had beautiful sunsets and equally good breakfast views. Well equipped property with great pool, lovely village with mini market and taverna very nearby. Hosts provided detailed instructions and good communication

A Perfect Place
Villa Victoria is perfect with fantastic views, wonderfully quiet in the peaceful village of Kokkino Chorio. It is an easy drive from the airport; a car is essential. The Villa is spotlessly clean, decorated and furnished to a high standard with everything you will need. There was a bottle of wine, beer, honey and milk in the fridge, a very welcome surprise. The Villa’s outstanding quality is the layout with the bedrooms on the ground floor giving direct access to the garden or the pool. The living space and open kitchen is on the first floor with two balconies, one facing south and one facing west. Both balconies have fabulous views across Souda Bay. The pool is great, especially for a morning swim. We always seemed to have the pool to ourselves. Ioannis Taverna is a few minutes’ walk, serving authentic Cretan food, with very friendly service and live music on Sunday evenings. There are two more very good restaurants in Drapanos which is ten minutes drive from Kokkino Chorio, We made many picturesque excursions with fabulous views into the mountains, visiting villages, monasteries, chapels, the ancient site of Aptera and finding great restaurants Two great restaurants we found in the mountains are Tzitziphia in Tzitzifes near Frés and Ntounias in Drakona. Both restaurants cook on open cook on open fires! We had a wonderful and peaceful time in Villa Victoria. It is ideally situated for expeditions into Eastern Crete. We highly recommend Villa Victoria. We will return.

Lovely stay at Villa Victoria!
From the moment we arrived at the Villa, we felt welcomed. There were towels and slippers prepared, as well as a toiletry basket of anything we could need. The property was very clean as well. Jim and Suzanne were extremely communicative and helped us through directions when we first arrived. Highly recommend!

This property and location is simply stunning. The view from each of the two balconies over Souda Bay is something to behold. The pool, although shared with 4 other villas was spotlessly clean and was hardly ever in use by the other guests. The villa itself is kitted out to a high standard. The village of Kokkino Chorio is quiet, but has a small grocery store within 400 yards, a taverna within 300 yards and another taverna within a 10 minute stroll. A 7-10 minute drive takes you to Plakka with many tavernas and a further 3 minutes takes you to a superb beach with a multitude of restaurants. A car (and satnav) is essential. We were lucky enough to have wall to wall sunshine with temperatures of 28-30 C If there was one draw back, it was the drive from the airport, along very windy roads after you leave the "motorway". Due to air traffic control problems and our arguments with Google Maps, we didn't reach the villa until 3 am, but we had pre-arranged with the extremely helpful owner (Mr Barrie) for a welcome pack of water, wine and charcuterie, so things weren't all bad ! Would we go back again ? You bet !

Great villa! Would definitely stay again.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the villa and loved Almyrida. Whilst the villa is a little way out of Almyrida, it has incredible views and is only a short drive from the main beach area. We also found plenty of great restaurants to eat. James and Suzanne were very accommodating and the housekeepers were quick to resolve a couple of small issues on arrival.

Really nice villa in quiet location.
Very well equipped villa and the most stunning views. Hire car definately an advantage, 10min to nearest beach at Almyridia. You can walk but it's all downhill so uphill on return. Spotless villa and pool, perfect place to relax, local tavernas ok to eat at and local shops have necessary supplies. Would we return-YES.

Beautiful villa in a charming location!
We have just returned from a fabulous two weeks at the villa. The views are stunning over Souda Bay and the sunsets are incredible. The villa is spacious and the pool is perfect with a shallow and deep end. The children loved it, as did we. Kokkino Chorio itself is small yet charming. There’s a real sense of community there. The local taverna is great with a good selection of meals. The local shop is great, although as so many English brands are imported it isn’t cheap. We managed without a car and walked down to the beach at Almyrida (45 mins) as well as to Plaka (20 mins) for evening meals. We got taxis back as it was too steep to walk back. The villa is well equipped with pretty much all that you need. We made great use of both balconies and all of the people in the neighbouring villas were very friendly. Despite all of the other villas being occupied we were still often the only ones in the pool. We did have some bother with the pesky wasps who descend en mass if you eat dinner before sunset. We didn’t get bothered by them at lunch or in Almyrida, but in the village they were a problem. The solution was to order food as the sun was setting and then we had no further problems. I would thoroughly recommend this villa and we certainly plan to return at some point in the future.

Compact beauty; Excellent pool. Fabulous Views and great location
Super views over the bay. With its range of balconies, terraces and roof space, there is always somewhere to enjoy the sun or shade. The pool is delightful. Easy walk to well stocked village store and even better another store in Plaka was our favourite. Few minutes' drive to the beach resort which was sleepy and quiet but full of very good restaurants along the front. The sea is very clean and lovely for bathing with a very conscientious lifeguard. We would recommend this property for a family with small children,

Well designed and situated at the quieter end of the plot. Two great balconies.
Thanks so much for letting us rent your villa. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the rest and relaxation. Unfortunately the weather wasn't as good as usual for this time of year. Nevertheless we enjoyed visiting many places around the western end of the island. The villa is very well equipped and comfortable with amazing views across Souda Bay. My only criticism is that we did not receive a mid stay change of bed linen and towels.

Villa confortable avec une vue magnifique
C'est la 2e fois que nous logions dans cette villa. Elle est spacieuse et dispose d'une vue magnifique sur la baie de Souda. Tous les soirs nous avons pu profiter d'un superbe coucher de soleil, confortablement installés dans les canapés d'une des terrasses. Suzanne and Jim sont très disponibles, ils répondent rapidement et se soucient du bien être des vacanciers qu'ils accueillent. La piscine est grande, et même si elle est partagée avec les quelques autres logements, elle est suffisamment grande pour ne pas que l'on soit entassés. On est d'ailleurs assez souvent seuls dans la piscine. Le logement est équipé de climatiseurs, ce qui est très agréable avec la chaleur. Pour ceux qui prévoiraient de faire beaucoup de visites, regardez d'abord la localisation, car elle est dans une zone montagneuse, et on peut rejoindre les voies rapides en 15/20 mn.

Maison très bien agencée, salon spacieux avec 2 terrasses / balcons et superbes vues. Environnement très calme dans un petit village de montagne, mais avec taverne et supérette à pied. La piscine est partagée mais toujours un moment pour nager seul. La salle de bain est un peu trop petite pour une famille et quelques ustensiles de cuisine en plus seraient les bienvenus. Propriétaire très sympathique et réactif. La maison est un peu excentrée des axes principaux donc voiture nécessaire. Très reposant.

Tolles Haus mit vielen Balkonen
Wir waren im April in diesem schönen Haus und haben uns über jeden Sonnenstrahl auf den beiden Balkonen oder im Gartenbereich gefreut. Je nach Tageszeit gab es immer ein sonniges Plätzchen. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt. Das Doppelbett ist schmal (140?) und hat nur eine Matratze und eine große Decke. Das war nichts für unsere alten Knochen und das einzige, was uns gestört hat für 5 Sterne. Ansonsten ein perfekter Ausgangsort für viele tolle Ausflüge mit dem Auto. Unser Lieblingslokal Eleonoras Taverne ist nur ein Ort weiter.

Schöne Villa mit Blick auf das Meer
Die Villa ist sehr gut eingerichtet und man kann den Tag auf dem Balkon, der Terrasse oder im Garten direkt am Pool genießen. Einzig das Badezimmer ist nicht optimal (Duschvorhang, Schräge). Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig am Ende einer Sackgasse und ist umgeben von Olivenbäumen. Leider gab es im Ort kein Restaurant oder eine Bar, so dass man immer einige Kilometer zum Essen fahren musste. Einkaufen konnte man im kleinen Supermarkt in unmittelbarer Nähe. Nach Chania, Rethymno oder zur Imbros Schlucht braucht man jeweils schon eine Stunde und zum nächsten Strand nach Almyrida ca. 15 Min. Ohne Auto geht also gar nichts.
