OLONDI: Spacy 1 Studio Plaka Beach Cottage

400 sqft Studio with integrated kitchen and separate bathroom, large double bed and extra sofabed, seaview, 2 private gazebos and private sunbathing terrace directly on shore. Brand new renovated 2022 with new kitchen new appliances etc!

Eot registration number: 1040Κ123Κ3006601

50 ft. from the waterline a small flock of three separated cottages on a beautiful and safe plot of land. (Fenced) Few steps to the sea. Nicely brand new renovated 1 studio cottages with vaulted high ceiling, ca. 400 sq.ft. (about 37 square meters), large comfortable double bed (King size), separate sofa/bed, view to the sea, inside and outside eating area, built in brand new kitchen, separate windowed bathroom with marble tiling, Shower, sink, toilet. Studio room has full A/C. Private outside Gazebos with table and chairs, with unobstructed view to the sea. It would be hard to be closer to the sea or in a more relaxing spot with the soft sound of the waves around you. And it would be hard to find such a safe location far away from the big cities but still in short walking distance (ca. 650 ft, ca. 200m) of a friendly little fishing village with many original tavernas and cafes. A bus stop close.

You will have your private studio with seaview, a private outside area that is separated from the 2 other cottages with tall natural stone walls. Your outside area has an esting place, shade by a pergola as well as a private sunbathing platform with seaview directly by the sea!

You have an english and greek speaking host that lives a few miles away. she can organise for you e.g a rental car and is there for you regularly.

The cottages are located ca 100 meters from Plaka village, just a short walk along or behind Plaka Beach. Plaka has many taverns and cafés as well as a beach bar. On very rare occasions (2-3 times during the whole summer season) there is life music in one of the restaurants or beach bar that can be heard over the bay also in the cottages. It usually stops at 23.00

Please note that from 2024 on the greek government requires all guests of Villassmaller than 80 m2 to pay an environmental fee of 1.5€ per property and night during your stay in summer season. (eg. 4.5 € for 3 nights). Please pay this either by Credit card or in cash to our host on Crete after your arrival and we will forward it directly to the authorities.

Even better than expected!
Perfect for 2 people. Obviously its all about the location, but add in spotless accommodation, a comfy bed and a decent shower, excellent communication with the owners/manager. It's everything you need.

Great location and water front view
Unique place in a really nice location not far from Elounda and Agios Nikolai’s. Spent a few days here and the view from the private deck was beautiful. It overlooks Spinalonga island and Plaka Beach…. Going down to the beach is as simple as walking down a few stairs. Restaurants, bars, and shops all within walking distance. Self Check in process was easy and also has a private parking space close by. The unit we stayed in was not very large but all two people really need. Very peaceful and quiet as well.

Absolutely Perfect Stay
The property was well maintained and had all necessary amenities. The location is absolutely perfect, quick access to Plaka beach and an array of local restaurants. The villa was private and quiet and we cannot wait to come back. Christine was incredibly helpful and we would 100% visit here again.

Great value!
This is a great property for couples, with lots of privacy, good view and beach access, and restaurants within walking distance. Unfortunately for our stay, it was generally too windy to properly sitting outside or the swimming.

Beautiful location
Beautiful location, very restful. Confusion on arrival as didn't know what house we rented. Didn't know the name but was sorted out. We were put in the house for 10 days that we thought we rented then moved to the rear property as that was the house we rented. Although all lovely properties if you want to have a seaview from your cottage make sure you rent a front property not the rear property. The cottage manager was very helpful so was the cleaner. Overall lovely stay will return

Location, location, location!
Wonderful cottage in an an amazing location. Christine was a great host and everything was perfectly arranged, including transfer from the airport. The village is peaceful, but with plenty of good restaurants (we liked Ostria, Paliria and The Carob Tree). Spinilonga is lovely to visit and there are plenty of other places of interest nearby like Knossos. Our favourite trips were a Land Rover safari into the mountains, and a brilliant horse riding session in the local countryside (with Fourni Horses). A really lovely place to visit - thank you.
