A heavenly retreat - sunsets, stars … peace and quiet!
This villa is high spec and luxury. The views of the sea, the horizon pool, sunsets and the surrounding hills are so beautiful, it felt like VR! It was as if two of my favourite places in the UK had been fused together - Curbar Edge in the Peak District and Rocky Valley in Cornwall.
You will need definitely need to hire a car (and a fairly powerful one) in order to stay here - it is a 1 hour 40 minute drive away from Chania airport. Driving here is not for the faint hearted or for those that suffer with car sickness. Once you are through Kissamos the roads become steep, windy and narrow with little or no barriers to protect you from plummeting down the mountains!
We found that the local supermarkets are not that local and not really “super” markets either, more like a small local shop. We stocked up on the way to the villa in Kissamos on a Sunday (when a lot of shops are shut) and it was very expensive and they didn’t have any fresh meat or fish for the BBQ. Recommend going to a large supermarket near Chania airport before driving to the villa.
The villa itself is lovely, it has a small indoor kitchen area with half size dishwasher and pretty much everything you need. There is a washing machine and clothes airer which is great and we went back home with a suitcase full of clean clothes! There are bath towels, bath robes, bath slippers, pool towels, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, bars of soap and liquid soap.
Outside there are 4 sunloungers and two other seating areas, there is a hammock, a swing chair and a lilo for the pool. The only thing we felt was missing was some parasols/more shade for the recliners/seating area. However, you can lie in the shade on the recliners up to 11am ish (in July) as the sun rises behind the villa but after then if you want shade you have to sit around the outside dining table/BBQ area.
One thing to be aware of, that is not mentioned on the website, is that there is another villa, built into the ground, directly in front of you. You can barely see it, or the people in it, unless they go into the grounds of their villa or to their car. However, you are aware that they are there and vice-versa.
Loads of good restaurants within 30 mins - check out guest book/ask host for tips of where to go etc.
We had a great week and would definitely recommend if you want a laid back, away from it all break with breathtaking views.

Petit coin de paradis !
Nous avons séjourné 6 jours à Villa Anemona et 5 jours à Villa Violetta pour la durée de notre séjour en Crêtes. Nous avons concentré notre voyage sur l'Ouest de l'île. Villa Anemona est encore plus belle que sur les photos, le site est parfait pour relaxer la journée ou pour en profiter après une journée de plage. Nous avons adoré la tranquillité de la Villa, elle est isolée, donc très privative. Birgitta est toujours très disponible et aimable, elle nous a conseiller des plages et des Tavernas (les incontournables, Falasarna, Elafonisi). Nous avons également fait le safari jet-ski de Falasarna vers Balos, ce fut une des activités préférées avec nos enfants (20 et 21 ans ). Nous avions planifié ce voyage initialement en mai 2020 mais la Covid a changé nos plans, nous sommes très heureux d'avoir remis ce dernier en 2022, quel coin de paradis !

Villa Anemona is the perfect place to escape your 9-5 lives. My husband and I loved staying here. Everything from the view, the pool, the sunsets, the solitude, and the villa itself made our visit beyond perfect. Birgitta was a fantastic host. Throughout the booking process she was easy to get in touch with and a great communicator. When we arrived to the villa she provided us with several staple items which were used throughout our stay. The bottle of Raki was delicious! Highly recommend!

We felt like we’d stepped into a dream!
The villa and its very remote setting are simply stunning. For 10 days we felt like we were the only people on the island, which is exactly the sort of holiday we were looking for.
The villa itself is striking - big, bright, clean and in immaculate condition. It’s probably bigger than the two of us needed but it manages to still feel cozy, and has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The grounds are also big and beautiful with space to wonder and breath.
The views (especially as the sun sets right in front of you each night) really do take your breath away - every direction offers a perfect postcard picture!
We spent most days chilling by the pool (not heated) and BBQing anything we could :)
It’s worth saying again that this really is a remote location (by our standards). Don’t expect to just pop out to the shop if you forget the milk!
There is a mini market about 20 mins drive away with a cash machine, I’d compare it to a Spa shop in the UK - we could get the essentials but it was a shame to not be able to get any quality produce. The closest place for good grocery shopping is Kissamos - there’s a butcher and fish mongers and a big Inka store which has everything! Or stop at Lidl on route from Chania airport.
Kissamos was a lovely place to visit and has some nice bars and restaurants (we somehow found one that was showing the Arsenal game - much to my other half’s delight!)
We also visited one of the restaurants near the mini market on route to Elafonissi which was a delight.
Personally, we had little want or need to leave the villa much during our 10 days. When you find somewhere as stunning as Villa Anemoma you really don’t want to leave!
Birgitta, our rep, gave us a warm welcome and was great, always on hand to help if we needed anything.
The WiFi isn’t great but it didn’t bother us, just worth mentioning in case you’re looking for somewhere that has good WiFi! Also worth mentioning that the roads are tricky! Tiny, winding mountain roads with very sharp bends and turns, so don’t go too budget on the car hire! And it’s definitely worth it when you get there!
All in all it was a dream get away. A perfect haven and a place to just switch off and get away from it all. Can’t wait to go back again!

A beautiful and tranquil place
We had a lovely stay at this villa. On arrival we were met by the manager, Brigitta, who showed us round the villa. During the whole process, on the few times we needed to contact her, she was reassuringly easy to contact, friendly, helpful and efficient. We were grateful for all the additional items provided: bread, jam, milk, tea and wine. The directions Brigitte gave us were clear and accurate. On the return journey we took a beautiful, alternate route through the mountains. The villa was spotlessly clean, well equipped and of good quality. The setting, overlooking the sea, is amazing and we enjoyed evenings watching the sun go down with a glass of wine while siting on the comfortable sofa. We particularly enjoyed the shaded eating area and the magnificent infinity pool. It is useful to buy your food etc in Kissamos on the way to the villa. The villa is extremely convenient for visiting beautiful Elofanissi beach, in fact we also used the small supermarkets on the route to Elofanissi for basic supplies.
A perfect place to stay in Western Crete to experience its wild beauty, from a quiet and peaceful location!

What a relaxing holiday!
We stayed at the villa for 10 days and it was 10 days of bliss. The location is remote but incredibly scenic and mellow. Birgitta was super responsive and incredibly helpful to settle us in. Being a trained masseuse was a definite pro and I highly recommend it.
The villa is fully equipped with everything you need and the sunsets are the most amazing I have ever seen. We sat back every night just in complete amazement on how great they were.
There are some lovely Taverna’s nearby that cook pure authentic food which is a pleasure to eat. The beaches nearby our very child friendly with lovely restaurants to enjoy fresh sea food. Chania is definitely worth a visit to see the historic old town too.
All in all a 10/10.

Amazing place, with an amazing view, on a amazing quiet environment - 100% recommended
We had the chance stay one week at Villa Anemona.
Everything has just been perfect:
- We had a great welcome from Birgitta
- The house is stunning clean, new and very well equipped.
- The location is just perfect if you want to be surrounded by nature, calm, with this amazing view on the Creta Sea and with absolutely no neighborhood at all.
- The infinite pool is very convenient with a breath taking view.
- Just get a fresh Rosé wine / Champagne ready for Amazing Sunsets every night ;-)
- We also had the chance to do 2 Yoga cession with Birgitta on the terrace of the Villa. So nice for the body and soul in such a place. We really loved it and we truly recommend it.
- And by the way, one night, just shut down all light of the house, and just look at the stars, you never see them anywhere like this, a total blow out...
So, it is a 100% satisfaction from us and 100% recommended.
Enjoy :)

Seriously, the best family holiday we have ever had........
My wife and two sons and I stay here for 10 days at the end of May to the beginning of June 2017. We arrived after midnight on a Sunday night to be met by the lovely Villas representative Birgitta. She had stocked the fridge with everything we needed for breakfast including water and a nice bottle of local wine which was a lovely touch.
The villa was amazing, very well decorated and kitted out with everything a family needs for a relaxing holiday. It's situated on a perfect, safe, secluded, private spot on the west coast of Crete and has extensive well kept gardens with lots of room to play with our children. The infinity pool was refreshing and clean and perfect for toddlers with a small area sectioned off. To top it off though, it faces west and you can enjoy the sun setting into the ocean every night, it was also perfect for star gazing with no artificial light. The views are truly exceptional and although our stay was only 10 days we relaxed very quickly and it felt we had been there for a lot longer upon our return home.
There was an excellent well lite BBQ area too with a large solid wood table. The beds were very comfortable and we even had our own white fluffy dressing gown, the 5 star icing on the cake.
We have already rebooked for next year and are delighted to have found this haven in an really unspoiled and beautiful part of Crete.

Wer Ruhe sucht, ist hier richtig! Beginnend bei Birgitta, die sich rührend um unser Wohlergehen gekümmert hat. Wir haben viele Tips für die Umgebung bekommen. Kleine „Probleme“ hat Birgitta sofort gelöst. Lieben Dank nochmal dafür!Die Lage von Villa Anemona ist für Ruhe Suchende herausragend. Die Villa, die direkt davor in den Hügel gebaut ist, nimmt man nicht wahr. Somit immer nur die Frage, im- oder vorm Pool die Sonnenuntergänge genießen. Im Haus ist alles da, was man braucht.

A place of pure relaxation
Our stay at Villa Anemona on the beautiful Greek island of Crete – all the way in the peaceful western part – was simply unforgettable.From the very beginning, we were warmly welcomed and felt truly cared for. A special thanks to Birgitta, the most attentive and thoughtful host one could wish for – we felt looked after in every way. The lovely welcome package was a perfect start, leaving nothing to be desired.The house itself is a dream – full of charm, comfort, and surrounded by nature. When the wind stops, you can literally hear the silence. And when it does blow, it carries the gentle sound of goats and their bells across the hills – a melody that feels like Crete’s own lullaby.We fell in love with the small, authentic tavernas nearby and the genuine warmth of the people here.

Erholsame Auszeit
Wir waren zu viert für eine Woche in der Villa Anemona.
Die Villa ist wunderschön gelegen mit freiem Blick aufs Meer. Der Ausblick, auch während des Schwimmens im Pool, ist einfach unglaublich.
Die Kommunikation mit Birgitta lief problemlos - kurze Antwortzeiten und immer sehr herzlich.
Bei der Anreise stand schon einiges für uns bereit, so dass wir für den ersten Morgen schon gut versorgt waren.
Die Villa ist sehr gut ausgestattet (sowohl mit Geschirr, als als auch Handtüchern, Föhn, usw.) und überzeugt mit der schönen Einrichtung sofort. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.
Unsere 7 Tage in der Villa Anemona gingen viel zu schnell vorbei, es war eine traumhafte und erholsame Auszeit, abseits von allem Trubel.
