Neo Horio, Chania, Crete, Greece

This is a beautiful detached 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom renovated villa with pool and stunning protected mountain views plus further building permission.
The pictures cannot convey the charm and incredibly calm ambience of this lovely property, situated in a traditional village where you will experience a true Cretan lifestyle. The house dates back to 1845 and was fully renovated in 2019 retaining many of the original features (such as wood beamed ceilings and stone arches) to create a home full of character but with very modern comfort and convenience.

Ground Floor: The villa has two separate entrances, one leading directly into the kitchen and the other into the spacious living area. The kitchen is fully fitted and has space for a dining table. It is set apart from the main living room with a stone feature arch. The living room is spacious with room for a more formal dining area plus lounge. An efficient log burning stove provides warmth in winter for the whole property. At the far end of the ground floor is a double bedroom with en suite bathroom. A separate utility cupboard is accessed from the front terrace.

First Floor: At the top of the stairs you come directly into the master suite with en suite bathroom, and patio doors either end of this floor to 2 separate roof terraces.

Outdoor Areas: The plot is fully enclosed with stone walls and fencing. Electric gates open to off road parking at the side of the villa. Running along the front of the house the courtyard style terrace has an outdoor kitchen at one end, then a shaded seating area framed in vibrant pink bougainvillea. There is a storage shed at the far end.The lower garden has a large bed with tree and plants, the majority of the plot is left cleared and ready for further planting. An above ground pool with decking is perfect to cool off in the heat of summer.

There is further permission to build 110sqm on this plot.

Location: Nerochori is a quiet, friendly village, away from the touristic areas but still only 10 minutes drive from Kalyves beach. As the rest of the world seems to speed up, there is a feeling of timeless calm and simplicity here, the laid back way of life Crete is famed for. Anyone wanting to escape the stresses of modern life, where time and peace, good food and gentle people are more important than internet speed then this is absolutely the place for you!
