Semi-rural nature retreat for couples. Traditional stone house. Kefalas, Vamos

Villa Oreastro Guest House is a purpose built traditional stone cottage in the Apokoronas region of the Chania prefecture. The house is finished and equipped to a very high standard. The traditional stone walls and arches, stone floors and terraces, and beamed ceilings all contribute to a rustic feel.

Tucked away in an olive grove, in approximately 2 acres of land, it has its own private garden and a spacious roof terrace with panoramic views over the White Mountains and nearby Kefalas. Kefalas is a traditional village with all the essential amenities, including 2 supermarkets, kafeneions, tavernas, and a cheese factory about a 10-minute walk away. The bustling village of Vamos is about 6km away.

There are numerous blue flag beaches within easy reach (15-20 minutes by car). The most spectacular of all (and also our 'local') is Octopus Bay, approximately 6km. Not a beach as such, but more like a spectacular plunge pool in the sea, excellent for snorkelling and similar activities.
Walking trails with incredible views, historic landmarks and beautiful scenery criss-cross the area.

The guest house is ideal for couples who wish to escape hectic city life and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful views in a relaxing, peaceful rural setting. It is a perfect location for exploring the Apokoronas region of Chania, Central, and Western Crete, or simply lazing about!

The Venetian towns of Chania and Rethymno are each about 35 minutes by car. Kefalas provides easy access to the wide range of attractions Western Crete has to offer, including Samaria Gorge, Gramvousa, Elafonisi, Lake Kournas, Aptera, and Falasarna. Heraklian (and Knossos) is approximately 2 hours by car. South coast locations such as Sougia, Loutro, Plakias, Damnoni, Agia Galini, and even as far as Matala can all be reached on a day trip
We provide our guests with a map of local attractions, and also numerous guides and booklets of ideas for walks and places to visit, so don't worry if you arrive without any firm ideas of what you'd like to do during your stay. You certainly won't be bored!

Closer to base, you'll find some delightful local towns and villages, excellent beaches, and archaeological attractions. With our local knowledge, we can provide you with details of off-the-beaten track places to visit, walks, and excursions.
As owners, we live here year-round and keep a number of animals, including cats, dogs, and a number of hens.

Back to the house: The house itself is 50 square meters in size. French doors from the lounge and bedroom lead to a ground floor terrace of approximately 30 square meters. The roof terrace can be reached by an external stone staircase, offering a further 50 square meters of living space.

Lounge
The lounge is open-plan to the kitchen, linked by a traditional stone arch. Here, you will find comfortable seating in the form of a single french daybed, which can also be used to sleep an additional person during the summer months. A wood-burning stove provides warmth in cooler months. French doors lead to the downstairs terrace and garden.

Kitchen
The kitchen is compact, but with all the essentials:

dining table and two chairs
refrigerator with a freezer compartment
integrated gas hob with 2 cooking rings
oven (as part of the wood-burning stove)
set of pots and pans, casserole dishes
coffee and tea making equipment
high quality crockery (plates, bowls, cups & saucers, mugs), drinking glasses, and cutlery
serving dishes and platters
utensils, storage containers, storage jars
kitchen basics (including tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, spices)

Bedroom
The bedroom features exposed stone walls and french doors leading onto the terrace. Insect screens ensure that you won't be disturbed by mosquitoes. A ceiling fan allows for efficient circulation of air to keep you comfortable.

We know very well that an uncomfortable bed can spoil a great holiday. Therefore, we have opted for a king size (5 foot) bed with orthopedic mattress and fine luxurious french linen bedding - ensuring a comfortable night's sleep.

The wardrobe has both hanging space (with hangers) and shelves / drawers, with an additional chest of drawers providing extra space.

Bedding & Towels
Luxury bedding is provided to suit the climate at the time of your visit. This includes French linen bedding, silk / cotton duvet, and a selection of natural pillows. We give you a choice of soft to firm pillows, all from natural materials, as well as quilts, blankets, and throws for every season. You might find yourself lingering in bed just a bit longer than you had intended.

We provide luxury light-weight peshtemal towels. If you prefer traditional towels, these can be provided.

In the bathroom:
The bathroom is beautifully finished to a very high standard. It is equipped with a drench shower and also a hand-held attachment, sink and toilet. We supply shampoo, shower gel, and hand-wash liquid, which you are welcome to use. A hair dryer is also provided.

Access to the house
The house is completely detached and separate from the main house, with its own private front door entrance and two sets of French doors leading to a private back garden. The house has its own dedicated parking space.

Garden & Terraces
The garden terrace (reached through the lounge or bedroom) has an outdoor shower, a pergola and three olive trees, providing welcome shade. The garden area includes some new fruit trees, herbs, grasses and flowers, with a carpet of cool ground cover. A BBQ grill is available for outdoor cooking.

A stone staircase leads to the roof terrace where you'll find a further pergola, a dining table and chairs, and also reclining chairs. With its spectacular panoramic views over the White Mountains, Kefalas village and Psiloritis in the East, it is popular with guests for yoga (2 mats are provided), sunbathing, stargazing, watching sunrise and sunset, romantic dinners, and generally lazing about.

Sunbeds are not provided; however, you may wish to use the very comfortable reclining chairs instead. The terraces are sufficiently private enough for sunbathing.

Ambient lighting ensures that you can also enjoy the outdoor space at night.

Heating, Air Conditioning & Hot Water:
Heating, when required, is provided by a wood-burning stove with sufficient capacity to warm the entire house. Ceiling fans provide efficient ventilation during the summer months.
The house has its own independent hot water supply. In winter months, hot water is provided by a gas boiler, so you can always be assured of a steaming hot shower every day. We're off grid! Electricity is supplied by the autonomous photo-voltaic system, installed at the main house.

Insect Nets
All windows and doors are equipped with insect nets to ensure maximum fresh air and ventilation, without being troubled by mosquitoes and other insects. Some windows are also fitted with security bars, so they may be left open day and night, whether you are in or out.

Laundry
The house has its own washing machine. It is simple to operate. A washing line is available on the upstairs terrace. An electric iron and ironing board are available for use by guests. Coat hangers are provided in the wardrobe.

Technology
Being a holiday home, we try to ensure that you have the essentials to enjoy your holiday:

A 4G Pocket WiFi is available for internet access.
A Bluetooth speaker to listen to music from compatible devices (e.g., smart phone).
There are 3 USB mains electricity charge points in the house for mobile phones and other electronic equipment.
There is no television in the house

Safety
For your safety and our peace of mind, the house is equipped with a carbon monoxide and smoke detector. A fire extinguisher, fire blanket, and first aid kit are also supplied.

Children
Although the house is primarily aimed at couples, we can accommodate a child. A baby travel cot, bedding, booster seat, playpen, and toys can be made available, as well as child-friendly dinnerware.

The house does not conform to all the safety standards that you may wish for a young child. Please note that, should you bring a young child with you, you do so entirely at your own risk, and you must inform us at the time of booking. There is a small additional charge for a child

Check-in / Check-out
Check-in is normally from 3 pm and check-out by 11am. However, we are happy to accommodate deviations on these times within reason, should bookings permit.

Wonderful tranquil retreat
We enjoyed a marvellous week at this beautiful villa set amidst olive trees and with a spectacular view of the White mountains from the roof terrace. Well placed for trips to Chania, Rethymno, Aptera, the beach and local villages. The villa itself is beautifully designed and very well equipped. Fun visits from the owners' dogs and very affectionate cat! A very peaceful setting - wonderful for anyone needing to relax and unwind. We will be keen to visit again some time!

Dream honeymoon
This place is a true gem, a real hideout in the midst of a wonderful nature area. The house is built with so much detail and warmth, and the hosts provided some wonderful fresh local products as sma welcome. Overall they were very helpful and offering many suggestions and tips for places to visit. But the house has everything you will need, even if you would just want to stay home all day and relax!

Lovely house among olive groves
This was our first holiday away together without family since covid. It was very relaxing and the weather was fantastic. It’s a great location being around halfway between Chania and Rethymno. There is a lovely terrace at the property with a hot tub (which we didn’t have hot as the temperature was well in the 30’s) Altogether a lovely place to stay

Tolle Unterkunft für zwei Personen, ländlich, sehr ruhig, nettes Dorf (Kefalas) mit Tavernen, Minimarkt etc. ist fussläufig. Es war toll nach unseren Ausflügen hier wieder zu „Johannas Place“ zu kommen und sich an dem wilden Garten, den Hunden und Katzen zu erfreuen. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Cretan haven
Perfect choice for a couple seeking a respite from city life. The cottage had everything we needed, including local provisions from the host. We were there during a heatwave, but the stone walls and ceiling fans kept us cool. We loved the magical garden and the roof terrace with views of the mountains, sunsets, and starry skies. Not to mention visits from the friendly cats and dogs. Great location for exploring the villages and beaches of the Apokoronas peninsular and further afield. We were sad to leave!

Beautiful rural retreat!
We loved our stay at Johanna’s Kelafas home. The home was very private, beautifully decorated with many personal touches and everything needed for our stay. The grounds are beautiful, flowers, herbs, fruit trees! We especially enjoyed the fresh grate fruit! Great place to enjoy day trips to the beach, rural villages for an authentic Greek experience and restaurants in the area. Johanna was lovely and very responsive with recommendations to the area. Don’t hesitate to book her place!

The villa was very beautiful and in a wonderfully quiet location. Perfect for us. We loved eating and reading on the terrace in the Mediterranean garden with only the sound of cicadas and the occasional sheep bell. Johanna was a very helpful, solicitous and generous hostess. We enjoyed all the places that she recommended and were made to feel welcome. We would happily visit again. Thanks very much Johanna.

Für jede Tageszeit die passende Sitzecke
Tolles Haus für zwei Personen - einfach super. Alles da, was man braucht für einen erholsamen und entspannten Aufenthalt! Der Garten ist ein Kleinod. Für jede Tageszeit gibt es eine Sitzecke, die zum Verweilen einlädt: die Terasse am Morgen (Frühstück), die Dachterasse am Abend, eine kleine Ecke unter einem großen Olivenbaum für den Nachmittagstee und am Abend auf einem kleinen Hügel unter einem noch größeren Olivenbaum mit Blick auf die weißen Berge und den Sternenhimmel...unbezahlbar! Johanna ist eine sehr aufmerksame und freundliche Gastgeberin. Zum Empfang war der Kühlschrank reichlich gefüllt, sogar Eier der eigenen Hühner gab es: lecker. Johanna und ihr Mann betreiben einen Olivenhain und produzieren ihr Öl selbst: köstlich!! Im Ort gibt es einen Lebensmittelladen, mindestens zwei Tavernen und zwei Kafineons - alle sind fußläufig zu erreichen. Insgesamt ein rundum Wohlfühlpaket - wir können das Haus und die Gastgeberin nur empfehlen.

Wir haben unseren Urlaub in dem kleinen Häusschen sehr genossen. Die Natur, die Tiere, das Wetter, das Essen und vorallem Johanna, die Gastgeberin, war einfach top! Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt, in dem Haus war alles, was man braucht. 10 Tage vergingen wie im Flug und für uns ist sicher: Wenn Kreta, dann nochmal bei Johanna! Danke Johanna für deine wundervolle Gastgeberfreundschaft, deine Tipps und deine Hilfe bei allen Fragen. Wir empfehlen dieses Ferienhäuschen gerne weiter. Bis hoffentlich ganz bald :)

Ideal work-away location
My wife and I stayed here for a week in July. The cottage is thoughtfully designed, finished to a high standard, and well equipped (sharp kitchen knives are always a mark of quality!). Even during the unprecedented temperatures, we kept cool inside the stone walls under the ceiling fans, and outside in the numerous shaded sitting spots in the lovely garden. I managed a full week of remote working (comfortable table/chairs, convenient power, and reliable WiFi). Johanna was a great host - meeting us on arrival, with lots of great local recommendations, and reliably available by phone. We were also welcomed with a well stocked fridge, which was very kind. Daily visits from the friendly cats and dogs were great, but otherwise the house, garden and roof all felt private and peaceful. The house is in a semi-rural area but is well situated for exploring this part of the island. Highly recommended.

Off the beaten track idyllic stone cottage oasis
The cottage completely exceeded our expectations, our stay was even better than the pictures. Wonderful attention to detail throughout and great amenities for our stay (the olive oil is the best!). The courtyard is the perfect spot for morning coffee, including the extra of the daily visits from the dogs; Teddy, Chica and Daisy who you come to adore very quickly. The rooftop deck is lovely and a great place for a workout, yoga and evening sunset views and cocktails or star gazing. Johanna is a fantastic host. provided us with great details and researched options to our questions pre arrival. She also reached out just prior to arrival recognizing we were coming in late and offered to do some shopping for us in advance which we sincerely appreciated. Great recommendations, beautiful location, the grounds are lovely with orange and grapefruit trees along with the beautiful wild flowers and olive trees. The village is high up in the hills, a car or e bikes are definitely a must. The area has easily accessible walking and well marked hiking trails. We had an extended stay of almost 4 weeks, we walked everywhere for a few weeks, we used the bikes and for further out exploring we had a car. It is a remote destination, very quiet and beautiful yet easy access to the bigger destinations. Johanna thank you for such a memorable stay and experience. We thoroughly enjoyed, it was exactly what we needed. Indu & Danny

peaceful hideaway
We enjoyed our one week stay in the Apokoronas a lot. Johanna''s and Rob's place is a hideaway with a very peaceful atmosphere. For us it was perfect to truely relax. The view of the white mountains is beautiful. Still, if you don't mind driving, several beaches and many places in western Crete are within reach. The place is perfect for a couple and looks like in the description. Kefalas has a minimarket and few basic places for food or drinks - just don't expect a party location :). For us it was all we needed.

Dear Johanna, thank you very much for the two wonderful weeks we were allowed to spend with you. We received a very warm welcome. Thanks to your recommendations, we discovered many beautiful things in the area. The recommended tavernas were also very nice. The house is lovingly furnished and lacks nothing. What a lovely place! We were visited by the cute dogs and cats in the mornings and evenings. The olive oil from your own production from the surrounding olive trees was a highlight when cooking. We had a great time and can highly recommend the house and you as a host.

Beautiful villa, brilliant trip!
We had a wonderful stay here. Johanna was helpful, responsive and kind in letting our daughter interact with the dogs. The villa is beautiful and was a highlight of our trip. It has lovely fittings and is set up with absolutely everything you need! The veggies, cheese, bread etc on arrival were much appreciated and the olive oil soooo delicious! There is plenty to see and do in the neighboring towns and the garden/rooftop are both lovely for relaxing before or after exploring for the day. Highly recommended!

Idyllisches Häuschen im wunderschönen Olivenhain
Mein Mann und ich durften wunderbare Urlaubstage auf Kreta im traumhaften Haus von Johanna und ihrem Mann verbringen! Obwohl wir erst um Mitternacht ankamen, wurden wir herzlichst empfangen. Ganz besonders aufmerksam war, dass der Kühlschrank mit Wein, Wasser und anderen Köstlichkeiten befüllt war! Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet, der Garten und die Terrasse wunderbar zum Sitzen und Erholen. Wir haben die Ruhe sehr genossen! Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
