Villa Vara


Villa Vara
Villa Vara is a lovely, rural spot in the quiet village of Drakóna, nestled in the lush foothills of the White Mountains, a short drive from Chania in Crete. Ideal for couples or small families. This charming villa combines traditional Cretan character with modern comfort and is perfect for those looking for nature, tranquility and authenticity.

Set on a private, gated plot, this inviting one-bedroom villa offers a relaxing and intimate holiday experience. A private pool, a cozy garden, and a wood-burning stove create an atmosphere of warmth and serenity, while the elevated position provides a sense of seclusion without being remote. The location offers easy access to nature trails, local tavernas serving authentic Cretan cuisine and the bustling city of Chania, just 20km away.

Accommodation: 2 + 1 persons, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom

Villa Vara offers a comfortable and tastefully decorated living space of 70 m², carefully designed for a peaceful life. The interior of the villa combines rustic charm with modern elements and natural materials.

On the ground floor you will find a cosy open plan living room with a wood burning stove, sofa, dining table and a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. A modern bathroom with a shower and a washing machine completes this floor.

A wooden staircase leads up to a loft-style mezzanine where a double bed and a single bed sit under the eaves.

The interior opens onto a private shaded garden with a barbecue and an outdoor dining area, where guests can enjoy long summer evenings in the tranquil Cretan countryside.
