Within walking distance of two traditional tavernas and a local shop, Villa Citrus enjoys the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience.
Ground Floor
Stylish Open Plan Living
A light-filled interior where modern architecture, natural stone features, warm wooden flooring, and elegant black accents create a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere.
The spacious open-plan living area has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and sociability. A large L-shaped sofa is arranged around a stylish wooden coffee table and positioned to enjoy the impressive 65-inch Smart TV and uninterrupted views across the pool terrace through expansive sliding glass doors, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living..
The indoor dining area features a striking composite dining table to seat six guests and flows seamlessly into the beautifully designed kitchen. Finished with quartz worktops, denim-blue cabinetry, and a breakfast bar with stools, the kitchen is fully equipped for everything from leisurely breakfasts to family dinners.
A handy cloakroom with WC and wash basin is conveniently located near the entrance.
The ground floor also boasts a luxurious en-suite bedroom with direct access to the pool terrace through floor-to-ceiling glass doors—perfect for an early morning swim or enjoying the views from the comfort of your room.
Beautifully furnished, the bedroom offers a super-king bed, extensive fitted wardrobes, built-in dressing table, and a stunning en-suite shower room.
Throughout the villa, guests can enjoy air conditioning, flyscreens, electric shutters, and modern spotlighting.
First Floor
Stylish Open Plan Living
An elegant open-tread wooden staircase (with handrail) leads to the upper floor, where a practical utility area houses the washing machine and laundry facilities.
A glass door opens onto a spacious sun terrace (uncovered) furnished with comfortable rattan seating and patterned cushions. This peaceful retreat offers spectacular views across the surrounding countryside while overlooking the pool below.
The first floor also accommodates two beautifully appointed bedrooms. One features a king-size bed, while the second offers twin beds. Both bedrooms benefit from floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes with drawers, built in dressing tables, bedside tables, and mirrors.
Both bedrooms share a luxurious family shower room complete with a large walk-in rainfall shower, vanity unit, mirror, and contemporary wall-mounted WC.
External Areas
Time to Unwind
The outdoor spaces at Villa Citrus have been thoughtfully designed for relaxation and entertaining.
At the heart of the terrace is a large private swimming pool accessed by roman steps and surrounded by extensive porcelain-tiled sun terraces. Six wooden sun loungers with comfortable mattresses and a wooden sofa and chairs provide the perfect place to unwind while soaking up the sun and magnificent countryside views.
A standout feature is the covered outdoor kitchen and dining area, complete with a built-in stone barbecue, traditional wood-fired oven, sink, refrigerator, and dining table. Whether enjoying a leisurely breakfast, long lunches, or sunset dinners, this inviting space is perfect for al fresco dining.
The newly landscaped gardens have been planted with Mediterranean shrubs and colourful planting, while subtle garden lighting creates a warm and relaxing atmosphere after sunset.

Not allowed on late availability or special offer prices and 5 or 6 night short breaks, unless specified otherwise.
Loyalty Discounts
If you are a returning client and this is your 3rd (or more) consecutive booking with Crete Escapes or your 2nd separate booking in one season, you will qualify for our loyalty discount. Please quote voucher code LOYALTY2.5 when asked to do so during the online booking process or let us know when you contact us. Your reduction of 2.5% will then be deducted from the total price.

Booking Information
Change-over days are totally flexible but are subject to existing bookings taken either side. If a booking means that the owner would be left with too many "void" days we might not be able to accept it. If this is the case we will contact you without delay to discuss alternatives.
Payment can be made by bank transfer to our sterling account or by debit or credit card (Mastercard or Visa) only.
Our travel information provides details of how to get to Crete including flights to both Chania and Heraklion airports.
If you want to book, please use the availability chart above to check your dates, you can then either book on-line, email enquiries@crete-escapes.com or call us on 0330 111 0061.
Please note: although the calendars show live availability and you can book on-line, please note that your booking is not confirmed until we have issued a confirmation of booking. You may prefer not to book your flights until we have confirmed the booking.
Low Occupancy Discounts - unfortunately the online booking system automatically calculates the single couple or small party discount based on the number of people entered onto the booking form and the start day of your rental. There are 2 problems with this:-
a) If you are 2 people but not a single couple, or 3 or 4 people but not 2 + 1 or 2 + 2, the system will have automatically calculated a discount when it is not due. Please make use of the "additional notes" box on the booking form to tell us and we will adjust the price accordingly before we confirm your booking.
b) If your rental overlaps from a discounted period to a non-discounted one (or vice versa), the discount calculated will be wrong. In these cases we have to make the adjustment manually. You can still book on-line but we will need to change the price on receipt of your booking request. If the price increases we will contact you to confirm the new price before we confirm your booking and take your deposit.
Please don't let either of these issues put you off making a booking. The discounts are genuine and our villa owners welcome couples and smaller parties out of high season. We just can't fine tune the booking system to account for these 2 circumstances - sorry.
