You really must try and visit at least one of them while you are staying at Villa Zaimis. The dramatic, mountainous interior landscape of Crete is also well worthy of exploration, remaining unspoilt and sprinkled with sleepy villages, incredible churches, imposing gorges and stunning valleys. Villa Zaimis is very striking with sophisticated steel, wood and glass architecture. You will be constantly gazing around, noticing a new feature that impresses you. The villa is drowned in natural light, particularly though the central light dome but also through the walls of floor-to-ceiling windows and doors. It is built over five semi levels, sparing no expense and using the very best materials. Outside, the superb swimming pool is surrounded by a gorgeous terrace and stunning landscaped gardens which offer astonishing sea views. Guests enjoy total privacy and seclusion and also the services of an exceptional Concierge Team who are on hand to ensure that you enjoy the holiday of your dreams. They can arrange private chefs, transfers, excursions, supermarket deliveries, massage and much more. The living areas are amazing in shape and style. They boast extraordinary light, gorgeous contemporary furnishings and a magical blend of simplicity, minimalism and sumptuous design. The villa’s Italian designed kitchen is a trendy space with the best stainless steel appliances where you or a hired chef can create delicious masterpieces using fresh local ingredients of the highest quality. It is a sociable space where guests can open a chilled bottle of Greek wine and keep the chefs in your group company. You can dine in style surrounded by vibrant modern art on the otherwise dazzling white walls, all the time enjoying the wonderful panorama. A lavish contemporary sofa, accent chairs and stools are perfectly placed to enjoy the spectacular views as well as a television should you need to chill a bit. Another living area leads to a terrace for alfresco dining. On a lower level you will discover an excellent games area with table football, film watching area and a pool table so you will know where to find your teenagers if they are not in the pool. The design of the this magnificent building creates a huge, spectacular, seriously high atrium. The bedrooms enjoy complete privacy from each other.

The second master sits on the highest level of the villa with a beautifully dressed queensize bed, an ensuite bathroom with a shower and a lounge area in a bay that opens out onto a fabulous terrace with breathtaking sea views. There are two further bedrooms, one that enjoys twin beds (which can be set up as a large kingsize bed) and the other with a double bed. They share an immaculate family bathroom. In addition, there is a separate guest suite which adjoins the back of the villa. This suite boasts a kitchenette and a bathroom as well as a queen bed. This is perfect for a couple that would like a little independence, perhaps grandparents. Having looked around the seriously impressive interiors, it will be hard to imagine that the exteriors could match up to the quality and comfort but they do. The villa offers a series of beautiful terraces that sit carefully on the hilly landscape leading to the villa and pool. The stunning pool enjoys a jacuzzi section where the water cascades into the larger, almond shaped, deeper section. It looks even more wonderful at night when the lights come on. There are plenty of luxurious shaded spots if the sun becomes too much, all surrounded by towering palms and lush lawn. A gas barbecue is supplied for some alfresco dining under an ancient olive tree.Villa Ziamis is joyful, imaginative and a totally secluded paradise which you will not want to leave. However, the charms of Chania Old Town, the glorious sandy beaches, the friendly tavernas and fine dining restaurants are all waiting for you to discover them.

Location:

Villa Zaimis enjoys a secluded position in an upmarket area just outside of Chania. It is moments from sandy beaches, wonderful restaurants and the stunning Venetian harbour of Chania. Watching the sunset by the old lighthouse is an truly unmissable experience, as is dinner in one of the rooftop or alley restaurants. Known as the Venice of the East, Chania Old Town is magical with unique shops lining its cobbled streets, a brilliant dining scene, trendy waterfront bars serving delicious cocktails and its famous Venetian harbour and imposing lighthouse. The harbour was originally built by the Venetians between 1320 and 1356 and is now a vibrant, cosmopolitan spot. The Egyptian lighthouse is much photographed. You can take a slow meander to the lighthouse to take in the stunning views of the harbour, the Old Town and the backdrop of the majestic White Mountains. On the waterfront, the Giali Tzamisi is the oldest Muslim building in Crete. The Turkish name is translated to ‘The Seaside Mosque’. It plays host to various cultural events and exhibitions. You will also enjoy many buskers on the streets playing a wonderful selection of music.

Villa Zaimis is very close to Agii Apostoli Beach and its natural park. The beach extends to Kalamaki, a very friendly, laid-back resort just outside of Chania. You will enjoy gorgeous sandy beaches, amazing restaurants and tavernas and some useful shops. There is even a huge LIDL close by for supplies. The beach restaurants are wonderful and generally always offer a glass of raki and some fruit or a mini pudding as a treat afterwards. There is a good range of restaurants, some serving traditional Greek specialities and others offering fine dining such Corinna Star at Corinna Mare in Kalamaki and the restaurant at the Domes Noruz Chania Hotel. You are very spoilt for choice if you decide not to cook in the villa!

Following the Minoan Palace of Knossos, the second most visited tourist attraction in Crete is the dramatic and imposing Samaria Gorge. It sits at the foothills of the White Mountains and is the longest and most famous gorge in Europe. Within the White Mountain’s National Park, it rises to an altitude of 1,230m, is 150m at its widest point and 3m at its narrowest and continues down to Agia Roumeli on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The park and gorge offer protection to over four hundred and fifty species of plant and animal, of which seventy are endemic to Crete. This includes the rare kri-kri which are wild goats.

Though the four local beaches are wonderful, you may want to spend a day on the exotic, spectacular, famous beaches of Balos, Falasarna or Elafonissi. If you get time to visit Balos Beach, you will remember it forever. In the protected ‘NATURA’ area of Balos Bay, its glistening white sand and turquoise sea is incredible. Not far away is another Cretan wonder, Falasarna, another nestled lagoon with pool like waters and pink sand. It has been awarded the best beach of Crete and one of the top ten beaches in Europe. Elafonissi is equally wonderful and worth the drive.
