About this apartment rental
The studio is a traditional stone built cottage with bags of character, renovated and equipped to a high standard. The studio is located in an olive grove (in approximately 2 acres of private land), on the outskirts of the village, less than 1km from the village center. Kefalas is a traditional village near Vamos, at the heart of the Apokoronas region of the Chania Perfecture.
The accommodation comprises an open plan lounge / dining / bedroom with an open fire, a kitchen area and a separate shower room / toilet. Outdoor space includes the use of a large covered veranda with a dining table and chairs (at the front of the property) and also a comfortable day bed . There is a further terrace with BBQ under a large walnut tree (behind the house).
Kefalas is a traditional village with all the essential amenities, including 2 supermarkets, kafeneions, tavernas, and a cheese factory about a 10-minute walk away. The bustling village of Vamos is about 6km away.
There are numerous blue flag beaches within easy reach (about 15 - 20 minutes by car). The most spectacular of all (and also our 'local') is Octopus Bay, 6km from the house. Not a beach as such, but more like a spectacular plunge pool in the sea, excellent for snorkelling and similar activities!
Walking trails with spectacular views, historic landmarks and beautiful scenery criss-cross the area.
The studio is a perfect base for couples wishing to explore Western Crete. The Venetian towns of Chania and Rethymno are each about 35 minutes by car. The nearby National Road provides easy access to the wide range of attractions Western Crete has to offer, including Samaria Gorge, Gramvousa, Balos, Elafonisi, Lake Kournas, Aptera, Falasarna. Heraklian (and Knossos) is approximately 2 hours by car. South coast locations such as Sougia, Loutro, Plakias, Damnoni, Agia Galini, and even as far as Matala, can all be reached on a day trip
Closer to base you'll find some delightful, traditional towns (Vamos, Vryses, Kalives, Almyrida, Georgiopoli) and villages, excellent beaches and archeological attractions. There are numerous opportunities for walks directly from the house, and also a short drive away. With our local knowledge, we can provide you with details of off-the-beaten track places to visit, walks and excursions.

It was the first Apartment where you have not to drive immediately in the supermarket for buying the ordinary goods.Everything was on the right place.So holidays we're at the best beginning.Johanna seems herself really busy, but she gave us the best local advices.In Communication you have to be very precisely, then you'll won't have any misunderstanding.

I did really enjoy my two weeks at Villa Oreastro. To start with the hosts Johanna and Rob, very friendly and supportive - I really felt being in good hands.
The the environment with villages taverns, easy access to wonderful bays and swimming spots. There’s a lot to discover and enjoy.
And not to forget the cats dogs the parrot and many more.
Definitely on my list for next year.

Characterful location, but we were not made to feel welcome. The hostess appeared preoccupied and unfriendly. We seemed to be in the way. Lulu the parrot, while lovely, woke us each morning at 6am each morning.
