Scenic Retreat with Private Pool, Steps from Almyrida Beach | Villa in Apokoronas, Greece
3 Bedroom Villa with Air Conditioner, Parking and Wellness Facilities
Location, location, location! Villa Jeni enjoys a privileged position on an elevated hillside and is the first property you come to as you enter the village of Plaka. It is blessed with sweeping 180 degree views over Souda Bay to the west, and the spectacular White Mountains in the south, and is within enviably close proximity of the area’s star attractions. A leisurely 600m walk downhill will find you standing on family friendly sandy beaches, paddling in the crystal clear, azure sea, dining at superb open-air tavernas, or buying fresh local produce from the variety of shops in the small but vibrant village of Almyrida, whilst a short 600m walk uphill takes you to the excellent tavernas and well stocked mini markets dotting the charismatic village square of Plaka. In addition, Villa Jeni is good value, making it a very popular option for both couples and families seeking comfort, and convenience within a relaxed Mediterranean village.
Villa Jeni is a recently revamped modern home that has a calming ambience and very light and airy feel, due in part to the traditionally Greek blue and white colour scheme that has been infused with contemporary grey, and the nautical theme that is in keeping with the villa’s wonderful coastal setting. The villa itself is painted white throughout and has blue aluminium shutters on all of the doors and windows. Many comforts have been provided for at Villa Jeni including Free WIFI, a ceramic hob, built-in oven, a microwave oven, a dishwasher, a washing machine; a Smart TV for use with your Netflix/YouTube/GooglePlay accounts etc, mosquito screens, and air conditioning units in the living room/kitchen and all 3 bedrooms. The A/C units also double up as heaters for the cooler nights at the start and end of the season, there is a large fireplace (though wood is not included in the rental price) and the water is heated by either environmentally friendly solar panel or a back-up immersion heater.
Following the contours of the land, and stepping down the hillside, the exterior has been creatively landscaped to give you a choice of different areas in which to relax and take in the superlative views. Only a few paces take you from the interiors, through double French doors, or a single door in the open plan living room/kitchen, to the front, pergola shaded patio which has a lounging and dining area that is sure to be the setting for many delicious al-fresco meals, some of which will perhaps be cooked on the villa’s barbeque, whilst others may be taken away from the numerous first rate local tavernas. Steps up from here lead you to a tiled roof terrace which looks out over the entire area, whilst steps down lead you to either the private parking area, or to the pool terrace which has natural stone paving, walls made from locally sourced stone to the rear, and above these, raised flower beds that have been planted with Mediterranean plants and shrubs including vivid fuchsia bougainvillea, oleandar, and lush palms. Taking centre stage is the private pool with its pretty blue and white mosaic tiles, and 3 steps in the Roman end that are ideal for small children and less confident swimmers to sit on whilst cooling off in the refreshing pool waters during the hot summer days. The land naturally drops off at the front of the pool terrace to the road below, and because there are safety railings instead of stone walls, this is an ideal position from which to admire the stunning vistas whilst lying on a comfortable sun-lounger soaking up the rays. Accessed via the kitchen door, the back garden is a real sun trap during the day. Here you will find a second outside dining area with more privacy, and a gravelled path that leads to bench and flower bed planted with herbs that you can use for salads and cooking, including mint, basil, rosemary and oregano.
Chilling out on any of the terraces, looking out over magnificent panoramas, with tavernas, shops and sandy beaches all close by, this pretty, well-appointed house would make an excellent choice for anyone looking to keep car use to a minimum.
*** As of January 01, 2024, the Greek government have replaced the old “bed tax” with a new tax that is applied to all stays in short-term rental accommodation in Greece. The Climate Resilience Levy is a response to the devastating forest fires and floods that Greece has experienced in recent years, with the government hoping to generate extra funding that will go towards financing reconstruction, supporting victims, and increasing the country’s defences against future natural disasters.
The owners of all short-term rental accommodation are legally obliged to collect the Climate Resilience Levy as a separate tax for all overnight stays (per villa) as follows:
In 2024: €10.00 per night on stays between March 01 and October 31, and €4.00 per night on stays between November 01 and February 28/29.
In 2025: €15.00 per night on stays between March 01 and October 31, and €4.00 per night on stays between November 01 and February 28/29.
The Vrbo system does not yet have a section for collecting the Climate Resilience Levy and we have, therefore, had to add it to the billing section as an extra fee which will show on the booking as a Host Fee (until Vrbo update their system).
Whilst we understand the potential budget concerns of our guests, this tax/levy is beyond our control and we encourage our guests to see this as a way of contributing to the protection of the planet and the beautiful area where they are holidaying.
