It's ideal for quite summer and winter holidays for couples. A compeletely equiped, separate appartment, which is a part of a bigger house built in a private area of four acres, offers joy, peace and quite, as well as a wonderful view. It is a studio of 50 sqm, fully equipped in a modern style, yet in direct contact and harmony with the nature around it. Situated on the eastern side of a larger home where our family lives, on a private plot of 4 acres full of olive trees and pine trees, shrubs, herbs and wildflowers of local flora and with a splendid view of the Souda bay and the mountain range of the White Mountains.All around, the tweets of birds and the hum of cicadas is heard. To get to the apartment, you pass through a private 70-meter alley that leads to a large park (shared), cross the white-fenced courtyard of the central residence from where a small stone staircase leads to the entrance. The appartment is dominated by the element of natural wood. Basic furniture were designed and constructed with love and taste in hand, while some vintage pieces of special beauty are distinguished, such as the desk and two mirrors of the bedroom and bathroom, the 40's radio and the old sewing machine.The apartment is designed for people who love nature as it is located next to a natural rock garden, which is organised as a herb garden, partly shaded by pine trees. A traditional Cretan treat is welcoming you while the home is equipped with everything that includes a full house as well as everything you may need for your personal care. A full kitchen with filter and espresso coffee makers, a desk to touch your laptop, a comfortable living room and a double handmade bed, dominating the highest level of the house, from which one can enjoy day and night the stunning sea and mountain view from the large windows.The view is even better than the balcony of the studio, which "sees" also towards the rock garden and the small pine forest. From here, you can watch the most beautiful sunrise: You'll have to sucrifice your lie-in, but it will be unforgettable! We named our property "Garden of Zephyrus" because it accepts almost all year the favorable influence of the winds, sometimes strong and sometimes gentle and relaxing. The apartment is a perfect seasonal observatory, located 300 meters above sea level. Guests can, if they wish, settle without our presence. You will find the keys in a special keychain with a combination. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Massage ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee ### Bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Smoking allowed only at the exteriors ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In a village - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the bay ### Things to do - Water park - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit ### General - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 538 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121400000/121393900/121393843/9771a0f1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Harbour - Spacious Unique Apartment in Chania Old Town Old Town Chania - Kitchen - Washer - Pet friendly - Free WiFi $186 nightly $212 total Feb 28 - Mar 1 Total with taxes and fees [](https://www.expedia.com/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-28&endDate=2026-03-01&selected=121393843&PinnedHotelID=121393843&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Deluxe Apartment, 2 Bedrooms, Balcony, Mountain View | Living area | Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99040000/99038900/99038891/64fd7a9c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### MAGNOLIA Luxury Chania Central Apartments Chania Town - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.com/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-20&endDate=2026-02-21&selected=99038891&PinnedHotelID=99038891&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/21980000/21974800/21974748/77c83bb6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Heliopetra studios, small village close to beaches Vamos - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer [](https://www.expedia.com/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-20&endDate=2026-02-21&selected=21974748&PinnedHotelID=21974748&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/123000000/122940000/122936500/122936430/4412fff9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hydrobates Waterfront Villa Halepa - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.com/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-20&endDate=2026-02-21&selected=122936430&PinnedHotelID=122936430&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/126000000/125160000/125150200/125150175/55956163.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Armenus, pool, jacuzzi, garden, bbq.
