A perfect stone house with many traditional features in the lovely village of Apokoronas - GREAT OFFER!

A superbly designed fully renovated property in the heart of the traditional Cretan village close to Vamos.

This house is set on two levels, with a ground floor traditional kitchen featuring a stone sink, light blue and white cupboards and a center work unit, dining room (or 2nd bedroom) and good sized shower room with modern fittings.

The upper floor has a fantastic open living area leading a private upper terrace and a large double bedroom. The property also has central heating making it suitable for all year round living.

A second external staircase leads back down to the secluded courtyard with a large stone archway leading back into the covered seating area outside the kitchen.

House is located in a beautiful small village 3 km from the village Vamos which is the capital of the Municipality. In this area well known as Apokoronas are some of the most traditional villages of west Crete. This house seems to be perfectly situated between the mountains and the sandy beach of Almirida. The distance from the beach by car is less than 10 minutes, Chania city is 30 minutes.

The house used to belong to Rodousakis family.

The house was built before 1900, that is why we can see very old parts of ruins incorporated in the existing old stone walls in the interior of the house.

The renovation of the house began in March of 2007 and was completed in October of 2008.

All the job was supervised from Civil Engineer and Architect specialized in restorations.
