Villa Moustarda Greece

Boasting spectacular sea and sunset views and luxurious interiors, Villa Moustarda is a unique and enchanting villa in the gorgeous, vibrant area of Kalathas on the stunning island of Crete.
The heart of the home is your sumptuous living room, bursting with plush sofas and seats in front of a huge TV and fantastic French doors out into your garden! At the other end of the room, a large dining table joins the lounge to this gorgeous kitchen. Embodying the same soft, natural tones at the living space, the wooden cabinets beautifully compliment the cream worktops. In addition to this fantastic dining area, there’s a second alfresco dining spot in the garden!
Four superb bedrooms invite you to enjoy the most peaceful night’s sleep on luxury COCO-MAT mattresses, as well as totally Zen designs, soothing colours and plenty of natural light! There are three double rooms and a final twin room, each as delightful as the next. Three of the rooms even offer immediate access to the garden or a private terrace – so you can spend more time in the fresh air and the sunshine, ideal for a morning coffee before a big day exploring Crete! And what’s more, each of the four bathrooms (three ensuite) is every bit as beautiful and luxurious. Elegant double vanity units and a mixture of walk-in showers and rain-showers makes for a truly perfect pampering space for our guests!
Your garden is a total delight. Not only is it many layered with balconies and terraces and even a roof terrace, but of course it also offers you a spectacular private pool! Soak and splash in the water before taking restful naps on these soft loungers all around it, basking in the tranquillity and getting that holiday glow! Then, when the sun begins to set and the air is filled with the magic of dusk, why not head to this stunning roof garden and enjoy the surreal views out over the sea and the quaint Kalathas surroundings! Two loungers up here are perfect for getting comfortable, while it’s also an idyllic spot for a little morning yoga or stretching! Meanwhile, for unforgettable meal-times, dine in absolute style at this alfresco dining area in the garden, partly shaded and beautifully set up for sociable times together.
With a stay in Villa Moustarda, you’re ideally located to enjoy the delights of the awe-inspiring Crete landscapes – in particular its superb beaches!
The stunning Kalathas Beach is just a couple of minutes’ walk away, with its beautiful sandy expanse, fantastic views to the mountains in the distance, over the turquoise sea! For a little more life and activity, meanwhile, just 20 minutes to the south is Chania, the capital of Crete and one of the most famous towns of the Greek islands, particularly for its authentic culture and character and historic structures including its beautiful Venetian Harbour.
It is an incredibly well-preserved Venetian town with all kinds of medieval architecture, framing a bustling metropolis of museums, churches, narrow shopping streets, waterfront restaurants and crafts shops. Alongside the stunning coastal areas and mountainous landscapes are an array of outstanding remains and glorious buildings of an ancient era, including a picturesque harbour front and interesting Venetian lighthouse.
Chania is also the perfect location to try all kinds of local cuisine, wine and traditional feasts – some of the best local restaurants include: The Well of the Turk, Antigoni, Karnagio, Chrysostomos and Above Chania. And for educational and historical adventures you can visit the Maritime Museum, or the Archaeological Museum, or take a trip to one of the many surrounding monasteries or historical sites including the Samaria Gorge, Venizelos Graves or the unique architectural complex of Tabakaria.
To the north of the island are the more touristic beach areas, and to the south are the more secluded and traditional beaches, punctuated by small seaside villages, and of course there are thousands of deserted coves and isolated bays for private enjoyment, if you look hard enough! The West Coast beaches of soft sand and coloured pebbles, such as Falasarna, are around an hour away from Villa Moustarda, and the South Coast beaches with beautiful crystal-clear waters, including Sougia, are about 75km away.
The food of Greece is famous for its rich flavours and delicate recipes of Mediterranean delights. Feta and olive oil are universal, while all kinds of fresh fish, fragrant herbs, in-season fruits and crunchy greens, all found in the back garden of the average Greek, await your enjoyment. Be sure to tuck into some of the classic Greek cuisine while you’re here, including the local specialities! As well as this, if you like the occasional tipple you ought to try Ouzo and Raki, two grape based alcoholic drinks, in your time on the island, both firm favourites of the locals. There is also a lot of wine produced across the island!
