About this villa rental
4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, sleeps 10, with panoramic mountain and sea views
A seamless marriage of nature and design, Villa Kaminia's modern architecture set against the dramatic backdrop of the White Mountains is enough to dazzle any visitor.
Villa Kaminia is a brand new villa, recently built in the beautiful village of Agioi Pantes in the Apokoronas region of Chania. The combined use of high quality natural materials (wood, stone, iron, marble) in both the construction and furnishing of the house makes this accommodation more than unique!
The entrance from the driveway takes you to mid-level, where you will find two twin bedrooms (two twin beds each) one bathroom and the impressive, indoor-outdoor pool. The pool starts from this level, passes through the house, and ends outdoors. Those residing on this level can literally walk out their bedroom door and step directly into the pool. One of two bedrooms can comfortably accommodate elderly or disabled people – the bathroom is especially designed for such cases.
Descending the stairs to the lower level, you will find two more bedrooms with double beds and en-suite bathrooms. All beds have cocomat mattresses and individual, wood-floored patios with wonderful views. The four bedrooms can accommodate up to 8 people.
Heading to the upper level, you will ascend a majestic staircase constructed of iron and wood, complete with a moving-ramp for disabled access, located to one side. Here on the upper floor is a spacious, modern kitchen and dining table, built from floor to ceiling with Swedish wood, truly a sight for kitchen lovers. The kitchen is fully equipped, offering anything you may need, including a wine preserver!
On the same level, there is a cozy, richly decorated sitting room, with a deluxe mattress sofa-bed which can accommodate two more guests. In the same room, there is a big desk, which has the capability of turning into a closet, for times when the room is used as a bedroom.
All the indoor spaces have large windows, bringing sunlight into the house all day long and highlighting the spectacular views of the surrounding area.
The pool is accompanied by a stone path, which starts from the main entrance at the back of the house and ends poolside at the front, overlooking the White Mountains to the left and Souda Bay to the right. The wooden deck which looks down on the pool from one level up offers an even more spectacular vantage of sea, olive groves and mountains, a trademark combination of Cretan topography.
THE HEATED POOL IS OFFERED WITH AN EXTRA CHARGE OF 210 EUR/WEEK
The Architect
The architect of Kaminia, Aristomenis Varoudakis, has his own, special approach to design which holds the intention to preserve traditional values by combining natural elements with modern construction. He studied in the US and Denmark and has since taken part in over 16 architectural competitions, winning four, first-place awards and earning many qualifications. He has participated in 13 exhibitions of architectural work, with a solo exhibition at the Benaki Museum (2009-2010), and he was the delegated organiser for two exhibitions hosted by the Mediterranean Architecture Centre. Varoudakis currently lives and works in Chania.
The Area
Villa Kaminia is located in the village of Agioi Pantes in Apokoronas. The spot is idyllic, located up on a hill for a great view and full privacy. It provides majestic, panoramic views of the Bay of Souda to the North and the White Mountains to the South. Looking west, one can have a taste of the Cretan countryside and its picturesque villages in Apokoronas. Since there is no one else in the immediate circumference, the view is truly yours!

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2022
My family absolutely loved staying in this stunning home. The views are incredible. The home is so spacious and sparkling clean. The kitchen is well equipped. Honestly, it’s hard to write this review because I loved this home so much. The windows bring the outdoors inside because there are so many and they are so large. We really appreciated the laundry room and the dishwasher. We have stayed in many rental homes and this home is a great value. We were shocked at how big the home is and how many amenities it has. We were in the heated pool every day of our stay. We will never ever forget the glorious time we spent together in this incredible home!
The host was wonderful and very easy to communicate with.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Nov 2016
Die Villa ist der absolute Traum. Lage, Ausstattung wie auch die Sauberkeit sind perfekt. Alle 3 Tage wurde das Haus ca. 4 Stunden gereinigt. Die Vermieter/Besitzer sind sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Es hat alles bestens geklappt.
Der einzig negative Punkt liegt beim Pool, welcher NICHT beheizbar ist, im Inserat aber als beheizt deklariert wurde. Dies war für uns ein wichtiges Argument bei der Wahl der Villa. Trotz warmen Lufttemperaturen von ca. 25 Grad im Oktober war der Pool dermassen kalt, dass er nicht benutzbar war. Für Familien mit Kindern sehr schade! Deshalb nur 4-Sterne Bewertung.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2016
Fantastic villa. The design, outside, inside areas and facilities were first class. Immaculately clean. Lovely hosts who have gone to every trouble into deliver a wonderful experience. Cooking us some welcome treats and dinner on 2 nights was so lovely. The property is genuinely safe, secluded, totally private and the views wonderfully relaxing. The kitchen is great and has everything you would ever need plus towel, robes etc all provided. Great wifi inside and out plus Netflix which is a rare pleasure to see in Crete. We loved the design and pool (although note not heated - we like cold pools in the heat, so not an issue for us). Would be perfect for a couple to escape as we did or large family / group and nice to see planned for disabled guests too. Plenty of options within 20 mins drive for supermarkets and restaurants. We had a lovely relaxing stay and having stayed all over Europe in high quality properties, would not hesitate in recommending this great property and perfect warm Cretian hosts.
