Nestled within a grand estate surrounded by century-old olive trees, Giovanta Villa offers the perfect hideaway in the tranquil western side of Crete. Here, you’ll enjoy complete privacy and a unique sense of calm that only this untouched part of the island can provide.

From its privileged, elevated position, the villa boasts stunning panoramic views over the village of Maleme, the historic WWII airport, the northern coastline, and the sparkling blue sea. It’s also ideally located close to Platanias, the most vibrant resort area in western Crete, giving you the best of both worlds—peaceful seclusion and easy access to lively spots.

Giovanta Villa is set in the quiet village of Kontomari, just 1.5 kilometers from the untouched beach of Pirgos Psileronou, perfect for a morning swim away from the crowds.

Nearby, the villages of Maleme and Gerani offer a wonderful selection of traditional tavernas and restaurants where you can savor authentic Cretan flavors. A short drive or bus ride takes you to Platanias, famous for its sandy beach, bustling atmosphere, and a wide array of dining and nightlife options.

And of course, no stay in Crete is complete without exploring Chania—the island’s enchanting former capital—just 20 minutes away. Lose yourself in its charming old town, sip coffee or raki by the Venetian harbor, and stroll through cobbled streets lined with boutiques and artisan shops. Whether you’re after culture, history, or simply a beautiful place to wander, Chania promises something for every traveler.
