These impressive houses, situated just outside the traditional village of Vamos in the Apokoronas region of Western Crete, have been built by a local Cretan who firmly believes in the traditions of the past as well as the benefits and importance of working with the environment. Beautifully constructed from natural stone, the interiors and exteriors have exceptional features that represent a bygone Crete tastefully combined with modern day comforts and luxuries.
The two bedroom villas built on two levels, have one twin and one double bedroom and each has one bathroom with a luxury shower and a second WC. The three-bedroom villas have two bedrooms on an upper level and one on the lower level, and two luxury bathrooms.
Each of the houses has its own swimming pool, air-conditioning, traditional hand made Cretan style furniture, a fireplace, a well-equipped kitchen, washing machine and spacious balconies or terraces, essential for enjoying the tranquillity and truly outstanding views.
The Apokoronas region is known both for its pretty traditional villages and verdant landscapes and the recent introduction of eco-tourism. The village of Vamos, approximately six minutes on foot from Ellotis, is an excellent example of this. Its carefully restored houses, traditional grocery store and its narrow streets and tavernas, capturing flavours of the past, combine successfully with every day life.
The Houses are less than ten minutes by car from the pretty beaches of Kalives and Almeritha. Both of these small resorts offer the convenience of any facilities you might need during your stay; supermarkets, bakeries, a bank, post office and a further excellent choice of tavernas, many situated picturesquely right next to the sea. |
