Beach Villa in Crete - Villa Kirvas


Villa Kirvas is situated right in front of the sea which only adds to the ideal setting and location the bonus of seclusion and uninterrupted view. At the same time, everything you, as a guest, would need still is within walking distance. Aligned in perfect harmony with the natural environment and its earthy colors, the aesthetics of Villa Kirvas follows the concept of minimal and the utilization of everything and anything one can encounter in nature.

According to legend, Villa Kirvas got its name from the man who founded the city of Ierapetra -coming from Rhodes Island-, which was considered one of the greatest cities in antiquity. The villa is situated in the Ferma village right on the beach of Kakia Skala. Today it is fully renovated and redesigned with a modern flair, extending to 2.000 sq.m. The exceptionally designed exterior comprises a private beach area filled with luxurious sunbeds, pillows, and umbrellas, a grownups pool (4 m. x 8 m.) along with a kids pool (2 m. x 2 m.), comfy loungers, playground, two different pergola areas, 100 sq.m. grass yard, and lets not forget the pine and olive trees that complement it just ideally.
The pool heating system can be used with an additional daily charge for the entire stay and it requires at least one week advance notice.
Find your very own zen spot through the various covered terraces and other seating areas that flirt with the sun, the fresh air, and natures healing scents.

Your very own villa full of advantages

The villa was very recently fully refurbished, and the two -attached yet entirely independent 2-story buildings- are the perfect choice for families holidaying together. Take advantage of the many amenities Villa Kirvas has to offer, such as the spacious covered terraces, gardens, decks with elegant sunbeds, or the barbeque area for some yummy meat, fish, and vegetarian dishes. Lets put those skills to the test!

Only 10 minutes away is the city of Ierapetra (ancient Kyrva), where you can catch the boat to the stunning Chrissy (golden) Island. The famous Elounda town in Agios Nikolaos is less than an hour afar.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned villa, which features a private pool. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with an oven, a microwave, and a dishwasher. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Pamper yourself with onsite massages or take in the view from a terrace and a garden.
Breakfast is available for a fee.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

We had a wonderful vacation. The grounds were perfect for our family of 7 adults and four children under the age of eight. The kids loved the swimming pool, playground, and were completely safe due to the fenced yard. There are many beautiful beaches in the area. I am grateful for a comment about bringing beach shoes. I have to say that the two houses are finished nicely but they were small for 11 people. Two of my grandchildren had to sleep in the living room which was not ideal in the morning. Only one kitchen was adequate for us but it was completely set up for a large family and had all of the appliances that you would need. As Americans we were not familiar with them and could have used written instructions. Georgios was extremely responsive and gracious whenever we asked for something. This was an amazing family vacation and I would highly recommend it!

Lovely villa, and very responsive owner

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay, would have preferred a sandy beach, but there is nothing the owner can do about that. The children enjoyed snorkeling by the rocks, and I enjoyed kayaking. Local restaurants were great, we didn't have to drive anywhere to eat in the evenings.

Beautiful Blue Flag Kakkos Bay

This property is right on the pristine water of Kakkos Bay. The house is small and simple, but immaculately kept. It is the third and last in a row of attached villas, but with a large, nicely planted garden and small olive grove on the side. The property is private, with gates, and there are three outdoor seating options making for pleasant times, even when the wind picks up. The beach is sand with pebbles and there are larger stones as you enter the water for about 4 meters, then sand. This made for tricky entrance for seniors (us) and water shoes were a must. But once in, the water is stunning. The area around Koutsounaris is interesting with many options for sight-seeing, other beaches, and places to eat. Giorgos is helpful in every way.

Charming house, great garden, calm private beach

Well-maintained property, very calm, but good located for trips to the sandy beaches, nice taverns in close vicinity. We enjoyed the private beach and the kayaks. The kids also loved the garden and the pool.

Very beautiful place

With our family of seven (parents with grown-up children) we spent a wonderful week in this great house. The direct proximity to the water (with comfortable sunbeds on the beach) and the leisure facilities (5 kayaks, table tennis, pool, barbecue) offered many possibilities for a relaxing and varied stay. The property is so large and has so many seating/lounging areas that you can always find an undisturbed spot. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very stylishly designed and offer a very cosy flair. The owner is very friendly and helpful. We can only recommend this great accommodation.

Schönes Haus

Zwei sehr schöne Häuser mit gemeinsamen Pool. Perfekt für zwei Familien. Man kann sich bestens erholen. Sehr stilvolle und hochwertige Ausstattung. Der Strand ist auch schön, aber sehr dunkle Steine und somit sehr heiss. Am Abend nach 16 Uhr aber super!

High class villa with everything you can imagine, right on the beach.

yes, we had a wonderful vacation and the accommodation was fantastic, in fact surprising that we could not come up with any improvement or thing that we were missing. The 2 new houses are richly equipped and surrounded by several sitting /relaxing places in a peaceful area. The playground was perfect for our to kids . The sea with an almost private beach is right outside the entrance gate. Restaurants/tavernas just 5 minutes walk away. Access to pool and beach with bar and restaurant also 5 minutes. (Kakkos Beach and taverna). So yes, we can absolute recommend this villa and will definatly be back.

enttäuschend

es handelt sich um das Eckhaus eines Dreispänners, also kein freistehendes Haus, dessen andere Ecke während unseres Aufenthaltes weiter um-, ausgebaut und renoviert wurde - das geht natürlich nicht ohne Lärmbelästigung. Die Innengestaltung der Räume ist mit schlichten Mitteln ganz hübsch gemacht, aber in vielem doch etwas karg. Zum Lesen muß man sich auf die Betten legen, denn Steh-oder Seitenlampen fehlen völlig und die Hängelampen sind mit zu schwachen Energiesparlampen bestückt. Die Sanitärräume sind sehr klein und eng. Der sehr große Garten ist relativ sinnlos bestückt, denn nutzen kann man ihn nur sehr wenig dank des doch eher häufigen, starken Windes. Nachts sind die rumpelnden Gegenstände dann keine echte Freude. Aussen sitzen kann man also eigentlich nur vor der Haustüre . (auf dem so hübsch fotografierten Balkon haben wir in 16 Tagen 3 mal abends gesessen) Luxus ist sicherlich eine individuelle Vorstellung, aber es ist wirklich "luxuriös" so nah am Meer zu wohnen und das kann man genießen, denn im Unterschied zu manchem Anderen in der Umgebung ist diese Bucht relativ romantisch und noch wenig touristisch. Selbst das kleine Hotel mit Taverne nebenan ist nicht allzu störend .
