Villa Description

VILLA AETOPHOLIA (Eagles' Nest)

Aetopholia lies in a small enclave of properties in Ano Stalos. It is 1.8km from the nearest beach, bars, restaurants, ATMs etc. - a five minute drive or twenty minute walk through the countryside. It is situated in the hills above Stalos and has breathtaking views across the bay and city of Chania, the White Mountains and surrounding countryside. It is a fifteen minute drive into Chania.

Due to its elevated position, in the hot summer months it is sufficiently high above the coast to be cooler and in winter escapes the dampness found in the lower areas. The surrounding handful of properties combine Greek and North European residents. The majority of this very small neighbourhood live in Crete full time and there is a friendly, supportive, community atmosphere which also has a healthy respect for individual privacy. Your home and your garden really can be your sanctuary here.

Whilst the National Road is easily accessed, Ano Stalos is fortunate enough to be unaffected by the associated traffic noise. Standing in an elevated position in approximately 2 Strema of land, Aetopholia has a magnificent garden, an olive grove with around 25 trees and uninterrupted views. It's high position works well - it would not be possible for future building to be extremely detrimental to the views currently enjoyed.

The house is on two levels. The upper storey hosts the lounge/dining area which has an open log fire, a large, fully fitted kitchen with Bosch appliances and a shower room/toilet. A covered balcony leads directly off the kitchen door and also has access to the lounge through patio windows with ornate insect screens. There is an upper garden terrace off the lounge also accessed through patio doors with an ornate insect screen. The internal upper interior benefits from generously high, vaulted ceilings.

….the lower storey

The lower storey contains three bedrooms, the master bedroom being luxuriously large with spectacular views. The two further bedrooms have generous fitted wardrobes and patio doors onto the flower covered pergola housing the bedroom terrace. There is also a pleasant, well finished family bathroom, a large storage cupboard and a utility room housing the central heating boiler, washing machine and a second fridge/freezer.

The bedrooms are on the cooler, lower floor, facing the rear lower garden of the property and all have wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. Outside bedrooms two and three is a shady terrace with a pergola bursting with bougainvillea, jasmine and roses. A perfect place for morning coffee or a welcome afternoon retreat from the sun. All the terraces have exterior lighting. To the outside of the master bedroom can be found a secluded terrace with stunning views, which encorporates an external staircase linking it to the upper garden terrace.

The garden….outdoor living….
`
The lower garden at the rear of the house faces the White Mountains and the bay of Chania. This is a tiered garden which rolls seemlessly from landscaped garden to a beautiful olive grove. Harvesting the olives is part of the experience of real Cretan life.

The upper landscaped tiers are heavily stocked with flowers and shrubs - you will also find a young harvest of melons, oranges, apples, pears, grapes and peppers.

The upper, front garden of the property is exquisite. Traditional Cretan stone walls to the boundary open to a large gravel drive with ample parking for two cars. A magnificent rose-bordered path leads to the front door. There are shrubs, flowers, many herbs, young orange, lemon, apricot and kumquat trees - as well as three magnificent mature olive trees which are an enviable addition to your Greek home. The garden has lighting and is perfect for evening dining on the terrace.

There is planning permission for a swimming pool and a well-considered area of the tiered garden has been cleared of trees and shrubs in readiness.
