Beach: 2km

Escape to your own slice of paradise in this one-of-a-kind private villa, where timeless architecture meets modern comfort. Enjoy breathtaking sea views from your private pool, and relax in complete privacy – all just a 5-minute drive from the beach, local shops, and tavernas. Villa Ianira Chania offers a warm atmosphere for an unforgettable stay.

Villa Ianira Chania - Eco-Luxury Retreat in the Heart of Crete

Welcome to your serene sanctuary in Western Crete — a one-of-a-kind villa designed with the principles of bioclimatic architecture, using natural materials, sustainable elements, and timeless style. Villa Ianira Chania is a seamless fusion of contemporary design, vintage charm, and the raw beauty of Cretan nature.


The Space: Design That Breathes Nature

- Crafted with local stone, exposed wood beams, and natural textures, the villa exudes warmth and authenticity. Earthy tones and organic forms flow throughout the interiors — from the 4.5-meter-high ceilings to the wide-planked oak flooring.

- Decorative pieces and furnishings strike a beautiful balance between refinement and rustic comfort, with unfinished wood, vintage elements, and soft natural lighting that enhances every space.

- Large windows and doors open the villa to the outdoors, bathing the interiors in sunlight by day, while bespoke ceiling lights create an inviting ambiance by night.


Interior Comfort Meets Artistic Elegance

- Living Room: Oversized sofas, a designer wooden table, and energy-efficient fireplace create a cozy yet luxurious space with panoramic views of the pool, gardens, and sea.

- Dining Area: A handcrafted wood and wrought-iron table is the heart of indoor dining, with an adjacent vintage-style kitchen that inspires culinary creativity.

- Bedrooms (4 total): Thoughtfully designed for comfort with COCO-MAT eco-friendly beds, adjustable pillows, premium linens, and direct access to en suite bathrooms.

- Bathrooms: Textured concrete designs, rainfall showers, natural light, and luxury amenities create a spa-like feel.


Outdoor Living: Nature, Luxury & Local Flavor

Set on a private 3-hectare estate, the villa’s grounds are a true Mediterranean paradise:

- Infinity Pool + Children’s Pool with a pebble-tiled base that reflects the sunlight

- Outdoor Kitchen & BBQ Area with wood-fired oven and monastery-style dining table for unforgettable meals

- Two Patios with built-in sofas, rattan furniture, and fluffy pillows

- Organic Garden & Fruit Trees: Guests are welcome to harvest seasonal produce like oranges, peaches, tomatoes, and herbs


Wellness & Wine Downstairs

- Private Gym: Natural light-filled, fully equipped for energizing workouts

- Wine Cellar: A domed stone space with local Cretan wines — many made by the villa’s owners — available to sample and purchase

- Shaded Patio Corners: Peaceful reading nooks or meditation spots surrounded by olive trees and floral gardens

We had a wonderful holiday staying in this beautiful villa. Roula and her family could not have been warmer and more welcoming. The villa itself was wonderfully well appointed. The accommodation suited our family of 5 perfectly, but would equally well suit several couples staying as all of the rooms were ensuite. The pool and outside dining area were perfect and we spent many hours lazing and eating outside. Roula even brought us some delicious snacks which she had made from the garden produce. There was lots to explore in the surrounding area and again the owner was very helpful with arranging excursions and activities. We would need another visit to see all of the places we planned to. Would we recommend this villa? Without hesitation and definitely plan to return!!

To classify this as a luxury villa is almost an understatement. Yes it is beautifully and comfortablely furnished and the view is exquisite. The outdoor living spaces are amazing and afford areas for private relaxation or group fun. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor dining area. The villa has a wine cellar, which we made good use of, and an impressive gym, which we were to tired to take advantage of following days of hiking and swimming. I could go on but most important is the service and kindness provided by Roula, the owner and manager. Take advantage of a traditional dinner cooked and delivered to the villa.

The most wonderful villa we have ever stayed in! We stayed at Villa Filira 11 nights end of May/ early June and had a really enjoyable stay, many thanks to this stunning villa with all its lovely qualities and attention to detail. The hospitality we received from Roula, Manolis and Gregory exceeded expectations. The villa was spotless upon arrival - as well as after the cleaning and laundry service twice a week during our stay. We were welcomed with a hamper of delicious homemade treats and local teas. The villa's high qualities are sustained throughout - including the beautiful, bright interior decoration, the amenities, storage, the lovely terraces, the beautiful and well-kept garden and excellent swimming pool. The view from every window and terrace is stunning. We loved collecting fresh fruit and veg from the garden and made good use of the barbecue! We travelled with small kids and the villa was very suitable for our needs. The pool was excellent with its separated children's area, wide steps and shades. The children also adored the garden toys! The location was nice, the village of Kolymbari is charming and friendly, we had some excellent meals there from a list of places recommended by Roula. Our daily trips to the bakery and supermarket were conveniently just a couple of minutes drive away. There is a lot to do in the local area and some stunning beaches and landscapes in Western Crete! We only wish we could have stayed longer to discover more and enjoy the luxury of the villa, it was certainly not easy to leave and we can't wait to return!

A spectacular location in the middle of an olive grove on a hillside overlooking the lovely village of Kolymbari on the pebbly shore of the Bay of Chania. Sprawling sea vistas, looming mountains, but far enough above the bustle of the coast. The house is lovingly designed and appointed by people with real taste and an appreciation of the setting.
