Cretan Mansion  

Perched at the foot of the White Mountains in Dramia, Apokoronas, this modern 5-bedroom villa sits just 500 meters from the sandy beach of Georgioupolis. Close to Lake Kournas and Argiroupoli Springs, it’s in the northeastern corner of Chania — a classic Cretan base for beach days and mountain views.

Built in 2008 with a clean modern design, the Mansion stretches across four levels and sleeps up to 10. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, furnished balconies or patios, and lounges with satellite 42" plasma TVs. Hand-made stone fences, fruit trees and white oleanders frame terraces that look toward the White Mountains and the seaside valley.

A private 60 m² pool (5 x 12 m) and sun-drenched terraces invite slow afternoons. Gardens, a picnic area and multiple outdoor dining spots make alfresco living easy. Free on-site parking and tour/ticket assistance keep logistics simple. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and mountain-scented evenings.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout and a dedicated computer station keep you connected. Additional practical perks include luggage storage, laundry facilities and a roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

Two fully equipped kitchens plus an auxiliary kitchen and roomy dining areas mean the villa is set for self-catered feasts. A large terrace dining space overlooks the pool for relaxed meals soaked in Cretan sun and local aromas.
