Aquila Villa is a beautiful, new built house, built on the top of a hill offering unobstructed 360° panoramic view over the north coast, the fertile countryside of Apokoronas and the mountains. The small, unspoiled village of Drapanos is 600m away, while the organized, sandy and shallow beach of Almyrida is 5.5km away. There are 2 taverns and a mini market in the village and for more choices you must drive to Plaka, 4.5km away.
The villa is built on a 2000sq.m. fenced property. There are young fruit trees in the entrance, ornamental plants in planting beds, a big lawned area, 3 pergolas and a bbq; but the impressive focal point of the outdoor area is the huge, infinity, heated pool with the big children’s area. Every hour of the day the view is impressive but the sunset is magical – the sky is painted red and the lights of the villages turn on…
The two floor villa consists of a large open concept area, four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a wc. The entrance opens to a sunlit area with a vaulted wood ceiling. On the same floor there are two bedrooms - one ensuited double bedroom and one twin bedroom - one more bathroom and a wc. There is a sofa bed in the twin bedroom where one more person can comfortably sleep on. Wooden stairs lead to the upper level, where two ensuited bedrooms - one double and one twin - are found. There is a sofa bed for a child in the single bedroom. Both twin bedrooms can be turned to doubles.
The swimming pool can be heated upon request at an extra charge. The heat pump can warm the pool 5° C above the temperature of a non-heated pool, up to 28° C. A 4 days advance notice is required.
4 bedrooms, sleeps up to 10 persons (8 adults + 2 childen)
4 bathrooms, 1 wc
If you are considering a villa holiday then please make Aquila your’e choice. The house itself is stunning, well maintained and a gorgeous mix of modern and traditional style. The owner Artemis kindly met us with the agent Niki on arrival and gave us a lovely tour…they are both on hand if you have any issues/questions and answer very quickly. The location is slightly isolated so you will need a car to get to a large enough supermarket to do a big shop but there is a tiny shop and restaurant within a 10 minute walk. A generous basket of treats was awaiting us on arrival and the villa has all you will need to cook day and night. The views are breathtaking and it felt like a home from home… we only left the villa on a single day! Without a doubt we will be back and I can’t wait.
The best villa we have stayed in in over 25 years of villa holidays in Greece, Spain and Portugal. The whole process of booking and arrival at the Villa was excellent and our hosts could not have been more helpful in meeting us on our late night arrival, providing a brilliant welcome pack which we were unable to finish in the week. The location high up on the hillside provided stunning views in all directions and the sunsets were amazing. The Villa was great, 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms ensured everyone was equally catered for, great beds and furnishings. The kitchen and lounge area were fully equipped and were spacious. The outside space was grassed (allowing for some friendly Padel/pickleball games) and provided several different seating areas and the many loungers, bean bags and chairs was a really nice aspect. The pool at about 12 metres was big enough to swim some lengths or float on the provided airbeds and relax. A great place to stay in every respect and it is very possible that we will revisit this stunning villa again in the next couple of years.Thanks so much to Artemis and Nikki and Chania Rentals. P.S. Car hire through the company was also very positive. Nick, Karen, Christiaan, Robyn and Cheryl.
