Guests call it "a little paradise"


Ariana's apartment has 2 bedrooms (both with airconditioning), a good-sized bathroom with shower, toilet, double sink and a spacious living- room with an open plan kitchen. There is a large terrace at the front with a good sea-view and a patio at the back. A shady footpath through colourful gardens with Mediterranean plants leads you to the pool area. The 50m2 pool is a peaceful oasis surrounded by flowers and shrubs. There is ample space with sun-loungers for the guests to relax. At the far end there is a bar with a fridge and a barbecue. Guests can enjoy night swimming in the lit pool which is for the sole use of the guests of Ariana's Apartment , Ariana's Villa (see listing 10873004) and Ariana's Studio (10087859).

Location and things to do nearby:

A small road from Kastelli-Kissamos leads up to the hamlet of Kato Kounopitsa. Ariana's Place is in a stunning location on a hillside overlooking the small town of Kissamos, the sea and the olive groves. This little gem is perfect for those who want to be near all the amenities of a small Greek town, but also appreciate the peace and quiet of the countryside. Imagine picking flowers from the garden or herbs for cooking and making tea. It takes less than 5 minutes to drive to town or to the nearest beaches.
We like to provide our guests with tips and suggestions for day-trips, hikes, snorkelling and scuba diving in the Bay of Kissamos, shopping, where to find the best tavernas, and other practical information.
Literally from your doorstep you can go on walks and explore the local area, which is rich in wild flowers, little churches and ancient sites.
Ariana's Place is a perfect base from which to explore the west of Crete. The beautiful white sand beach of Falasarna is only 20 minute away, or a little further you can visit the pink beach and nature reserve of Elafonisi, or you might wish to explore the Gramvousa peninsula and the famous lagoon of Balos with a day trip on a boat.
There are many beautiful gorges to hike, for example Deliana, Anidri and Agia Irini.
For those who are interested in ancient Crete there are wonderful museums in Kissamos itself and in Chania. The museum in Kissamos has some of the best-preserved Roman mosaic floors in the world, while the Historical Museum of Chania boasts artefacts and carved seals dating back to 1500 AC. Among the interesting archaeological sites to visit are Polyrrinia, Falasarna and Aptera.
Kissamos has many superb restaurants and fish tavernas where you can enjoy the traditional Cretan cuisine.
The nearby historical Venetian city of Chania is a must for cultural history and of course shopping. You can buy handmade leather goods in the famous 'Leather Lane' and visit the popular covered market. Chania also has numerous excellent restaurants near the historic harbour.
There are endless possibilities for day trips elsewhere - to Paleochora and the south coast, the White Mountains, the Samaria Gorge, monasteries etc.

Please read about the new "Climate Resilience Levy" tax in the house rules.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Conveniences include a coffee/tea maker and a washing machine.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as an outdoor pool or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Perfection!
We absolutely loved our stay here. Such a beautiful place and so relaxing however still plenty to do a short drive away. Ariana was an amazing host, so lovely, friendly and very knowledgeable about how to make the most of your holiday depending on what you are interested in. The apartment is great with comfortable beds and a decent shower. The balcony over looks the beautiful bay which is lovely in the evening. Pool is brilliant, our kids spent hours in it! Nice size and well maintained. Great selection of comfortable seating/sun loungers around it. Can whole heartedly recommend, we loved it and we will certainly be back.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment which was very clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped. Lovely patio area with a comfortable outside sofa and dining table and also a shaded area with another table at the front of the property which was perfect for breakfast. The pool area was stunning with superb views.The town is about a 5 minute drive with a really well equipped supermarket just at the bottom of the road. Perfect place to stay and would thoroughly recommend.

Two weeks family summer holiday quiet retreat with pool and base to explore from
It's a very short drive up the hill from the small town of kissamos to Ariana's place. You are greeted by Arianne who will show you around and give you any advice you need then leave you to it. There is a quiet and relaxing atmosphere , the pool area is beautiful and also maintained. The two bed apartment has all the basics you need whether eating out or in. Good water pressure from the shower, comfy beds. The apartment has the linen, towels changed and floors cleaned every four days. There is a washing machine and clothes airer on the terrace. We had a welcome break without a tv, but its a good idea to have films or programs downloaded on your device. Arianne lives in the apartment below, she leaves you to it, but enjoys helping out giving advice and recommends when you ask, we found this very helpful. Most evenings we sat out on the terrace, but there is also a table at the front that's nice to sit at. Because there is limited accommodation the pool area is often quiet and many times we had the pool to ourselves . Our stay was before the english school hols as our son had finished at school, so we had a german couple next door and a german family in the villa, they spoke good english and we all got on well. We used the bbq twice, All your supplies can be bought in kissamos there is even a new Synka supermarket just opened. We had prebooked three B&Bs 1 night Chania, 2 nights Palechora & 1 night Rethymno, I would recommend at least one stop over to enjoy the night life and atmosphere.Then after our mini breaks we enjoyed getting back to the pool and apartment. There are many B&B's and this could be done last minute with lots of offers. Thank you Ariana

Eine ruhige Oase mit viel Platz
Wir haben eine perfekte Woche bei Ariana verbracht, es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Restaurants sind in wenigen Minuten mit dem Auto erreichbar, man kann jedoch in der gut ausgestatteten Küche selbst kochen, doch wer will das schon in Griechenland? Belebte oder weniger touristische Strände sind in 5-30 Minuten erreichbar, es gibt Ausflugsmöglichkeiten für jeden Geschmack und jedes Bedürfnis. Die Wohnung ist grosszügig mit riesiger Terrasse und es fehlt an nichts. Das Highlight ist natürlich der gepflegte und saubere Pool hinter den Häusern, umgeben von schönen Pflanzen und bis Mitternacht romantisch beleuchtet. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Ruhige Oase
Das Apartment war genau wie beschrieben und in den Bildern ersichtlich. Es war alles vorhanden was man benötigt und die Betten waren bequem. Besonders schön war, dass man auf der sehr großen Terrasse morgens und abends schön sitzen kann und auf´s Meer schauen kann. Da ein Teil überdacht ist kann man auch bei Regen dort sitzen. Die Anlage selbst ist ein Traum, wunderschöne Pflanzen und ein super gepflegter Pool, es ist sehr entspannend einfach dort auch einen Tag zu verbringen. Ariana ist super nett und hilft mit Tipps gerne weiter. Das Apartment ist etwas in den Hügeln und uns war es zu weit und heiß runter ins Ort zu laufen aber mit dem Auto sind es 5 Minuten nach Kissamos wo es sehr viele Restaurants gibt...und ansonsten ist das auch eine gute Lage um die Nord/West und Südwest Küste Kretas zu erkunden! Beim nächsten Kreta Urlaub werde ich die Unterkunft wieder buchen!

Top property close to great town and activities
We had a wonderful time. The location is just outside Kissamos so you can enjoy the country side, and a peaceful see view from the lovely terrasse (where you can also enjoy your dinner). The swimming pool is great and the kids loved it! You are also close to town to enjoy a nice restaurant on the see front and come back easily. In terms of activities, Kissamos is just the perfect location. Many tour companies offer great activities and you can easily go to beautiful beaches nearby. On top of it, Arianna (the host) gives you great tips (beaches that are not on tourists books…). A perfect place to relax and discover/enjoy Crete.

Wohlfühloase zwischen Bergen und Meer
Wir hatten eine tolle Woche bei Ariana in Kissamos. Ein super Appartement. Groß, sehr schön eingerichtet, die Küche bestens ausgestattet, eine riesigen Dachterasse mit Blick auf die darunterliegende Stadt Kissamos, das nahe Meer und die umliegenden Berge.Der dazugehörige Swimmingpool (wird mit zwei anderen Mietparteien geteilt) ist traumhaft gelegen, gepflegt und von Olivenbäumen und anderer Vegatation umgeben und wirklich ein paradiesisches Örtchen um einen ereignisreichen Tag ausklingen zu lassen. Viele tolle Ausflugsziele u.a. auch die tollen Strände, sind von hier aus gut zu erreichen. Unsere Gastgeberin Ariana war sehr herzlich, hat uns viele gute Tipps gegeben, dabei stets hilfsbereit, immer symphatisch und herrlich entspannt. Wir kommen sehr gerne einmal wieder.

Wohnen im kretischen Stil mit Super-Pool
Bereits vor unserem Urlaub hatten wir Kontakt zur Vermieterin. Dank der Anfahrtsbeschreibung haben wir das etwas abseits und versteckt liegende Quartier gleich gefunden. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Das Haus liegt etwa 25 Minuten Fußweg oberhalb von Kissamos mitten zwischen Olivenbäumen. Alles war sehr sauber und gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Terrasse bietet eine gute Aussicht auf die Bucht von Kissamos. Der Pool ist fantastisch. Der Ort ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in die nähere und weitere Umgebung.
