The holiday villa is a traditional lodging located in the heart of the White mountains of Chania. It is situated in the Askifou plateau of the province of Sfakia, Crete. It is approximately 50km from the city of Chania, at an altitude of 780m. The Askifou plateau resembles a large cup, from which it is considered to have gotten its name, as the ancient word "Skifos" means cup.
There are four little villages that make up the plateau: Ammoudari, Goni, Kares and Petres, which are all sparsely populated with a total of approximately 440 permanent residents. The location is ideal for mountain lovers who are looking for quiet holidays, it provides for a peaceful and pleasant stay.Fully detached natural stone villa with a private illuminated swimming pool and beautiful views from the sunny terrace - a mountain paradise
