Villa Michalis 4-5 pers. (2 Floors)
Following the charming and picturesque coastal road from Agios Nikolaos (11 km) parallel to the Mediterranean Sea, passing inviting coves alternating with breathtaking views to small islands and delightful sandy beaches you reach the village of Kalo Chorio and its coastal quarter "Istron". Our house is nestled into an enchanting countryside that invites to extended walks or hiking through the landscape of the rising hills and mountains which are covered mostly with cedar trees. The house was built in the midst of a large property (4.500 m²), quietly located on the side of a hill. The terraced garden, planted with colorful flowers, decorative shrubbery and different fruit trees (Mandarin-, Orange-, Apricot-, Lemon-, Olive- and Banana trees) extends harmoniously into the rocky backdrop of the hill, enhancing the majestic feeling of the house. On an area of 500 m² a swimming pool, including a wading pool for children, was added. Magnificent views and the alluring countryside surprise you over and over and draw you under their spell. Guests on this property are spoiled by unique panoramic views to the countless coves of the Mirabello Bay all the way to Agios Nikolaos. Every apartment has a Safe, W-Lan and an air conditioning unit. Balconies and Patios, all covered by pergolas, are equipped with table and chairs. The furnishings in the house are made of solid wood, bathrooms and kitchen are tiled and all the floors are laid out with white marble. Every apartment includes a TV-set. In the garden you also find a grill area next to a stone built, traditional Greek oven in which bread can be baked as well as other typically Greek food. The adjoining marble table and benches invite you to rest and to enjoy the just prepared food under the shading trees caressed by the fragrant air. Another delight is the splendid view from up here to the Mediterranean Sea that will stay in your memory for a long time. Children can play freely on this enclosed property and romp the garden to their hearts content. Various large and small coves alternate with each other and offer either pebbled or sandy beaches. About 650 m from the house you reach the first beach - half of it is sandy, the other half with pebbles. Everyday you have the opportunity to venture out and discover something new. Because of its location a good starting point to visit Minoan palaces, remote monasteries, Byzantine churches, caves, grottos and many enchanting natural sights. Villa Michalis 3 for 4-5 Pers.
