About this house rental
Ideal for those who wish to have peaceful vacation, swim every day in the sea and experience the hospitality of the Cretan people and the local traditions, with the added advantage of enjoying breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and the mountains, both during the day and each starry night. Villa Kapare is a fully
equipped house, with a new renovated bathroom, space for families, traditional local decoration and an ideal base from which you could explore Crete
Villa Kapare stands on the edge of the hillside at the end of the traditional Cretan village of Kokkino Chorio, where the famous movie “Zorba the Greek” was filmed , on a quiet, enviable position, 40 meters only from a little square in the heart of the village and without doubt its most captivating feature is the big vine covered terrace on the seaward side with absolutely mesmerizing, panoramic view of the coastline below.
The villa is within walking distance of one small but well-stocked store for food and supplies, both fresh and frozen, a tavern (local restaurants) and a coffe-snack bar, serving excellent Greek food at convenient prices. It is also just a short drive from nearby beaches. A small beach with clear blue water called “Koytalas” is only 2 minutes away by car and the popular sandy beach of Almyrida is 7 minutes drive away.
As you enter in Villa Kapare high double gates open onto a vine covered patio and from here an entrance door leads to an airy ground floor living area, with stone floor, burning stove, and decorated touches of a cretan traditional village style. To one side a large breakfast counter with pine shelving separates the fully equipped kitchen (see amenities list). Against one wall is the large dining table and chairs and opposite here doubles doors lead out to the huge veranda covered by a vine arbour with panoramic sea view. Here a large patio table and chairs can offer a marvelous breakfast staring at the blue sea waters or a romantic dinner watching the captivating sunset.
On the other side of the living room there is a sitting area with a fitted sofa, plus chairs and a coffee table grouped around the warm fireplace. Beyond here seven stone-steps lead up to a small hallway with doors off, to a recently renovated bathroom with washing machine, plus an airy and spacious double bedroom with a window offering wonderful sea view. Off the hallway to the rear is a further bedroom with a double bed, a romantic mosquito-net and window overlooking the entrance courtyard below. This bedroom also has two single beds (one bed can easily turn to a sofa) into a sleeping gallery above and accessed by a small pine staircase.

Very nice host, we had a marvelous Holiday
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2023
Traditionally decorated house with two bedrooms, one bathroom and a large open living room - kitchen area. Large terrace with gorgeous views over the sea and neighboring hills. The house is located in a small village on the hills, ~15 min drive from closest beach in Almyrida. Very nice hosts that are extremely happy to help making the most of your stay with great advice and insider tips. We felt very welcomed during our stay in Villa Kapare and would return there. The only thing to be aware of is that the villa is a bit difficult to reach by car requiring driving through very narrow and steep streets. Also, there are a lot of cicadas living on the pergola plants which can be very loud during the day. Overall, this is an ideal place to have a quite vacation and ideally located to make excursions to the east (Rhetimno), South (Skafia) or West (Chania, Falassarna Beach).

My husband and I spent 11 days at Villa Kapare. Anthi and Mina both welcomed us. They had a folder filled with activities they suggested in the area and beyond, with maps and brochures. The house is absolutely lovely and there are not words to describe the view. We recommend this house wholeheartedly and will not hesitate to contact our hosts if we ever have the opportunity to go back to Crete. Thanks for a peaceful and wonderful stay, Anthi and Mina.
