Rent Villa Proton Greece

Perched high above the Cretan coastline in a quaint village close to Chania, the charming Villa Proton is a 4-bedroom retreat boasting stunning views and designed to be your home away from home, accommodating up to 8 guests for an unforgettable holiday experience.

Stepping through the front door, guests are greeted by an entrance hall where an interior lift ensures wheelchair access and the utmost convenience.
Following the hallway brings you to the open-plan living area, a harmonious space seamlessly blending modern comfort with timeless touches of traditional elegance. The sprawling lounge invites you to unwind and bask in the glow of natural light streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows. Adorned with tasteful decor and warm earthy tones, this communal space effortlessly transitions into the outdoor shaded dining area, where a chic dining table for eight awaits memorable meals with loved ones.

The adjacent fully equipped kitchen is an epicurean delight where culinary enthusiasts can enjoy generous granite countertops (including a kitchen island), state-of-the-art appliances, and ample storage making it a breeze whether you’re tossing together a Greek Salad or preparing a holiday feast for family and friends. Picture yourself sipping your morning coffee on the terrace, absorbing panoramic views of the surrounding olive groves and the sparkling sea.

The four bedrooms, thoughtfully designed havens of tranquillity, cater to diverse preferences. The ground floor boasts the first of these bedrooms and ensures easy access for wheelchair users. This bedroom boasts a king-size bed, a private terrace and an ensuite bathroom with rain shower. A second bedroom mirrors this setup, with a king-size bed, terrace access, and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Ascending to the upper floors reveals the master suite, a sanctuary of comfort that boasts a king-sized bed, sitting area, an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, and two spectacular terraces, one looking out on the “white mountains” and another looking out to the Aegean Sea. A final bedroom features a king-size bed, a dedicated workspace, a separate terrace, and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Imagine yourself on any one of these private terraces with the gentle caress of the Mediterranean breeze on your face, a morning prelude to a day filled with exploration and relaxation.

Stepping outside to the expansive terrace provides guests with a private oasis featuring a sparkling pool surrounded by sun loungers and a shaded outdoor kitchen complete with BBQ, sink, fireplace, and a teak dining table for up to eight. The panoramic vistas of the Cretan landscape create a picturesque backdrop for alfresco dining.

Surrounded by the lush greenery of the garden and panoramic sea views, Villa Proton is well-situated a short distance from Chania in a Cretan village boasting a supermarket, tavernas, and historic sites including an olive mill, Venetian wells, and a folklore museum.

Several spectacular beaches are close at hand, including Omprogialos Beach and Koutalas Beach. The beach is ideal for relaxation and families thanks to its golden sand, clear water, and protection from the elements.

The nearby Elephant Cave is an extraordinary diving spot, and the Archaeological Site of Aptera can be found on the drive to Chania. Aptera was once one of the most important city-states in Crete. Located on a plateau above Souda Bay, the site boasts ruins of the city fortifications, Roman cisterns and houses, a double-parted sanctuary, and even an ancient necropolis.

Chania itself is one of Crete’s two main cities. Walk through the old port’s picturesque alleys and historic neighbourhoods, stroll along to its 16th-century lighthouse and indulge yourself in the irresistible Cretan atmosphere and cuisine. Check out Chania’s Municipal Gardens to enjoy a cup of traditional Greek coffee in one of the island’s oldest and most atmospheric cafeterias, the Kipos Café.
Crete is a fantastic place for hiking, perhaps most notably in the Samaria Gorge where you’ll find the deserted village of Samaria along with breath-taking natural landscapes and a wide range of flora and fauna including the rare species of wild goat known as the kri-kri.
