About this property
Peaceful and spacious country style apartment
A fully furnished, quiet and cosy one-bedroom apartment immersed in nature and surrounded by olive groves. Brightly decorated with the warm colours of the starfish (hence its name ‘Asterias’), it is located on a panoramic hilltop near the village of Polemarchi, near Tavronitis, approx 20km outside of Chania, with easy access to Crete’s incredible West & South coasts. It has its own private entrance and space, with stunning views of the surrounding area and sea. Available all year round.
The space
‘Asterias’ is finely decorated and fully equipped with all necessary furniture, electrical appliances and linens to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The hand embroidered curtains and cushions add an extra touch to the character of this cute apartment.
Two balconies (one in the front and one at the back outside the bedroom), both with tables and chairs, allow you to sit outside to have a meal or sip a glass of wine while enjoying the peace and quiet and the views!
There is a free parking space right in front of the apartment, and you may use the main villa’s terrace for stunning views of the whole North-West coastline.
In the kitchen/dining area you’ll find a sink, refrigerator, electric hob and oven, washing machine, cupboards/drawers with plates, glasses, cutlery, saucepans, electric kettle, toaster, percolator, espresso coffee moca, dining table and 4 chairs.
In the sitting room you’ll find a TV, sofa bed, coffee table, arm chair and chest of drawers, as well as books for reading and local tourist guides/magazines.
In the bedroom you will find a comfortable queen size bed, as well as a bedside table, wardrobe, chest of drawers, mirror, and a shoe storage case. There is also air-conditioning in case you need it!
The bathroom contains a shower, wash basin unit with cupboard storage space, full size wall mirror, toilet, storage shelves, wall hooks rack, and a hairdryer.
Guest access
The apartment is adjacent to a family villa and part of a complex of 2 other studios. It has its own private entrance, space and 2 balconies. Guests are free to roam the olive groves around the property and use the main terrace in front of the villa, which gives stunning views across the whole North-West coastline.
Other things to note
Are you looking for a holiday home away from the touristy noisy areas of the island but still at easy reach to the most beautiful beaches and landscapes of Chania? Do you enjoy watching starry nights or breathtaking views of the moon as well as day and night views of the city of Chania and the golf of Kolimbari?
Whether you are a couple who dreams of a romantic relaxing holiday, a family who enjoys the beauty of nature, breathtaking views and the warm hospitality of the locals, or a group of friends who want to explore somewhere different but still stay together and be at an only 20 mins drive away from the night life of Chania city centre or Platanias, our studios will meet your needs!
The strategic position of the location will offer you a vast choice of short drive day trips to the famous beaches of Balos (60mins), Falassarna (40mins), Elafonissi (80mins), Paleochora (70mins) and many more!
The local people are very friendly and will be happy to sell their home produce such as fresh eggs, homemade local fresh goat cream cheese, homemade thyme honey, fruit, vegetables, raki and rakomelo. Every Friday there is also a market at the nearby village of Kolimbari where you can stock up on fresh produce.

About the host
Hosted by EUGENIA

Hello, my name is Evienìa/Ευγενία or Eugenia.
Let me give you a little background information on the meaning of my name. The prefix "eu" in ancient Greek means "good, well, true, genuine" while "genos" means "genes". There is however another word in Greek "ευγέvεια- eviènia" which means "politeness" which sometimes people confuse with the spelling of my name or even the pronunciation(if they are not Greek speakers) by placing the accent on the wrong syllable. People who know me often make reference to a Greek saying "όνομα και πράγμα" meaning "name and reality/fact".
I have learned to grow up with this "word mixing or word play" and as such I have tried to see up to the connotations of my name by trying to always be an example of "good genes, genuinity, truthfulness and politeness"
I am Greek and have lived for 41 years outside Greece! 17 years in England and 24 years in Italy.
However, I recently decided to repatriate and now live in my lovely island of Crete!
Although Greek by birth, my long experience of living abroad, the extensive travelling opportunities, together with the fortune of meeting so many people from around the globe over the years, have enriched my life and broaden up my horizons.
I can speak Greek, English, Italian, French and I am currently learning Pashto!
I am the mother of two "polyglot" daughters who I raised as "world citizens".
I am an educator and linguist by training and profession. I hold a Bachelors of Arts(B.A) in French and Italian, a Masters degree(M.A) in Applied Linguistics and a Post Graduate certificate in Education(PGCE) from the University of London.
In 1995 I founded a Bilingual international school in the north of Italy, unique in its kind!
I now work as a professional consultant, teacher trainer, teacher and family advisor.
I love learning about other cultures and languages and meeting people from different parts of the world.
I am committed to making your stay a memorable and significant experience for you!
