“At sunrise the mountains are tinted in a beautiful pink light which takes your breath away.
As the day progresses, you can look across to the mountains and meditate, watch clouds float over the peaks or marvel at the changing light
as it defines the distant slopes and different villages pop into view. And at sunset the colours range from gold to oranges and reds.”

Guests who have stayed at Villa Lefka Ori, say ……

Villa Lefka Ori is the most beautiful villa I have stayed in, the views of the surrounding area and beyond are literally breathtaking. The pool is clean and well maintained and the gardens are so relaxing to sit in and enjoy your Greek experience. The Villa is large and clean with ample room for family, friends or a wedding party. The top terrace has the most amazing views of all!
I would highly recommend Villa Lefka Ori for your escape to Crete.

Villa Lefka Ori provided just what I needed after a very hectic summer. The sound of silence was palpable as I looked out from the balcony over the valley to the mountains and villages, the beautiful turquoise sea in the distance and just the occasional birdsong around me. The warm sun ☀️ all around but always a shady balcony or terrace to be found in this lovely villa. Sunlight and moonlight swims in the pool surrounded by the beautiful shrubs. If peace and quiet in the beautiful Cretan countryside is what you’re after – it’s here you need to be!

I recently had the good fortune to stay here as a guest of owner and host Carole Brown.  The villa is perfectly situated in the Apokoronas region and is not too far from Chania airport – it also has easy access to local villages and tavernas . The nearby small town of Georgioupoli is only 12 mins away by car and there is a rather beautiful almost private beach – Kalyvaki- just off the harbour – swimming there is perfect.
The villa itself is on three floors with stunning views – from all terraces – of the Lefka Ori mountain range – to see them change colour as the day moves from dawn to dusk is quite amazing.
All bedrooms are very comfortable with aircon and there is also a lovely pool for cooling off.
It is an ideal retreat to recharge mind, body and soul and re-connect with your inner self.

Villa Lefka Ori – An amazing, gorgeous, and large, high-end villa offering all the comforts and luxuries we enjoy in the United States. The large bathrooms with beautifully tiled walk-in showers were a pure joy! (No more miniscule Greek showercube where the shower curtains stick to one’s body with every move, lol!). Lovely bedrooms with comfy beds and private terraces. I wasn’t prepared, however, for the absolutely stunning view of the White Mountains or the gorgeous and private swimming pool surrounded by gardens!
The “off the beaten path” location of the villa was perfect! Away from the crowds while only a ten minute drive to my favorite beach town and fishing village of Georgioupoli and Kalivaki beach where a cold river empties into the sea providing one of the most unique incredible experiences I have ever had; The top of the sea is cold refreshing river water while the sea underneath is warm. Be sure to partake in the wine tasting offered by a vintner located within a mile of the villa, which I feel rivals the wine offered in Napa California.
I highly recommend Villa Lefka Ori for your vacation and retreat in Crete!

We’ve just spent a lovely short break at Villa Lefka Ori. What a beautiful place to relax and unwind. The top floor apartment is secluded and private, a real hideaway. The main bedroom is huge as is the ensuite bathroom, and with a lovely comfy bed and two separate sitting areas as well, what’s not to like! There is also a kitchenette with fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. Of course there is also an enormous and completely private roof terrace with spectacular views of the white mountains – and a bit of a sea view too – and you overlook the pool as well. The pool and garden area are delightful and again completely private. Your hostess Carole, is simply lovely, and will do everything she can to make your stay memorable. If you’re looking for a romantic getaway, then this will certainly do the job!
