Located on The Akrotiri, an unspoilt peninsular in Western Crete, is a beautiful sandy cove called Tersanas.
In the valley above the cove is situated Villa Venetiana very close to the village of Horafakia,
where there are a selection of traditional tavernas, a bakery, supermarket, and a Kafeneon/mini market
and all this is just 12 kilometres from the city of Chania.

Three kilometres from Stavros with it's beaches of golden sand is the impressive Zorbas Mountain
where "Zorba the Greek" was shot.

Villa Venetiana is designed in the Venetian style, with pink-washed walls, mosaic tiles and deep green woodwork, the typical colour theme employed in the old Cretan 'metochi' or manor house of the Venetian Aristocracy.

However, the Venetians would never have seen such an enchanted garden as that created by Yiannis, the owner of Villa Venetiana,
who is a Cretan sculptor and artist.

Yiannis has been creating this uniquely imaginative whimsy as his monument and is constantly in search of unusually shaped rocks or stones to add to his creation. Minoan red pillars, vibrantly painted panels around the splendid pool and stone niches compete for the eye's attention with Yiannis' own sculptures.

Villa Venetiana is situated near the village of Horafakia, a small village in the centre of The Akrotiri Peninsular and close to Chania, the Airport and Souda Bay Port.

Horafakia is on the bus route from Chania & Stavros and has good local amenities with restaurants, supermarket, petrol stations and car rental all within a few minutes walk or drive from Villa Venetiana.

The pace of life in Tersanas is still slow and sleepy so, with it's little sandy beach, easy access to Chania and in close proximity to a good selection of traditional tavernas.

Villa Venetiana in Tersanas is the ideal solution for those without children to find true peace and relaxation.

The setting is wonderfully secluded, the pool is gorgeous and each of the eight maisonettes are
only ever rented to two adults so that the pool and gardens never become crowded.
