VILLA BAMBOO ACCESSIBLE
Photos and Description of this Maleme holiday villa
Wheelchair accessible villa located in an olives grove. Sleeps five
This brand new villa sits amongst tall olive trees on the outer limits of Pirgos, a little hamlet with a long name 15 minutes walk from the bustling village of Maleme. Combining an uncluttered and modern interior with an external finish embellished by touches borrowed from the ancient Minoan era, the resultant cocktail of decorative themes creates a totally unique style. Dark clay colours rub shoulders with pale creams and pastel shades both inside and out, where they contrast strikingly with the light blue water of the pool.
Cream varnished wood floors, laid throughout the villa reflect the light and create an uncluttered style in the spacious living area, while the rich brown of the leather sofa and dining chairs introduces a contrast of colour. The starring feature though is by courtesy of Mother Nature herself with gorgeous sea views through the practically floor to ceiling windows, over the olive trees and neighbouring roof tops.
Partially hidden behind a dividing wall, the well equipped kitchen has a clear run of white cupboards and work tops with a fridge freezer, full sized cooker, washing machine and a small dishwasher concealed within. A breakfast bar with seating for four overlooks the pool and patio area through a large picture window.
A small internal hallway with a full length mirror and floor to ceiling storage leads to the bedrooms, each of which has its own spacious shower/wet room with contemporary fittings.
The master bedroom is furnished with a king size bed and colour washed in an intimate shade of red wine, lifted by the subtle use of bamboo in the headboards and door screen. There is a pine wardrobe and dressing table and, more lovely sea views through large windows.
On the opposite side of the hallway is the very spacious twin bedroom with a dressing table and ample wardrobe space. Windows face the cool green of the olive groves.
There is a extra folding bed in the living area for a 5th person/child.
Outside, an extended bamboo awning creates a comfortable shaded area over a large table and quite unique handmade Minoan style chairs, where dining is accompanied by magnificent sea views. Sunbeds with comfortable cushions further enhance the poolside terrace.
The lovely 10m x 5m pool itself is perfect for those who like to immerse themselves in a more genteel manner as a gradual slope descends around the perimeter, leaving the sudden plunge from the edge to the more active.
Just 20 min walk away from Maleme, Villa Bamboo’s within an easy reach of shops, tavernas and beaches and a bus stop, if you do want to travel further afield. Thus it will be of appeal to those who would prefer to leave the car at home.
NB Wider doorways and spacious wet rooms make this single level villa suitable for wheelchair users. The pool has also been designed to have access not only for the more nervous swimmer, but also for wheelchair users. Please ask for further details.
The property is owned and managed by Stefanos, who holds a bachelor degree in economics and an Masters of Business Administration from Aston university U.K class 1982

3 bedroom villa all ensuite wc, near Maleme
3 bedroom villa all ensuite wc, near Maleme
Situated off the Maleme-Nea Roumata road 16 km west of
Chania and less than 1 km from the centre of Maleme, this handsome old
family house with 10m x 5m private swimming pool is set amongst olive
groves, some 300 metres from the coast road.
The
house is built on two levels and terraced out of the hillside and
contains vaulted timber ceilings, complimented by wooden floors and the
use of gorgeous, soft creamy marble in the shower rooms.
The
main entrance door on the upper level leads into a beautifully fitted
kitchen with full cooker, microwave, dishwasher and fridge-freezer,
cupboards and ample work surfaces with a creamy marble splash back. To
one side there’s a dining table and beyond here an archway leads
through to an attractive and comfortably furnished sitting room with a
generous sweep of windows on two sides providing wonderful sea view over
the olive groves and the village of Maleme, to the distant Rodopou
Peninsula.
The
double-bedded master bedroom is situated off the sitting room, enjoying
similar sea views, it has a large fitted wardrobe as well as the unusual
benefit of two shower rooms, both containing a WC and wash hand basin!
Also
on this level, off the kitchen, is a further airy room with two single
beds and a cupboard and its own en-suite shower room with WC and wash
hand basin.
Villa Palma is built on two levels and terraced out of the hillside.

machine. To the front is a small sitting area, plus a wardrobe and desk
unit.
Outside, apart from
the usual patio furniture, sunbeds and umbrellas, Villa Palma is a sea
of green with terraced lawns sloping down to the stylish wood decking
surrounding the pool with just the occasional token stepping stone and a
solitary palm tree. These terraces have barriers making the gardens
ideal for young children to enjoy and with plenty of space to play .The
pool is on the lower level and it has a min depth of 1.2m and a max
depth of 1.7m.

14
km West of Chania in this very fertile corner of Crete, the countryside
is dominated by sweet smelling orange groves and whispering plantations
of tall bamboo which fringe the mile upon mile of almost deserted
beaches. Sandy stretches alternate with very peaceful pebbly stretches,
with the occasional rocky outcrop punctuating the otherwise endless
sweep of the sea.
Maleme
has a good selection of tavernas as well as a butcher, baker and
largish supermarket. The nearby beaches are mostly pebbly but Villa
Palma makes an ideal base to explore the rugged west coast of Crete,
well endowed with fabulous sandy beaches and magnificent scenery.
Gerani
some 2 km away has a good choice of tavernas and a number of small
mini-markets, but for a little more action the bustling village of
Platanias is just under 4km away.

Steve Price - Palma - Jul 2004
Excellent
Villa with great pool, minimalistic in design terms, and the owner -
Stefanos - could not have been more kind Jeanette the local rep, equally
very good, not intrusive - just the right level of attention
S Mooney - Villa Palma - Jun 2007
Loved
Villa Palma. Pool great and very clean. It's in a nice quiet location,
only a 5-20 min walk to various taverna's (depending which you choose). I
particularly liked 'East of Eden'. Locals very friendly. I just didn't
want to leave!!

Real home from home
Review Submitted: 16 June 2010 Date of Stay: July 2009
"We
have had a wonderful time in Crete again, and have been truly delighted
with the accommodation. The house is perfectly situated for all
amenities and has perfect views from the upper lawned area. We have
thoroughly enjoyed making full use of the excellent swimming pool. This
is probably the best equipped accommodation we have stayed in - a real
home from home. It has made this a memorable holiday.
Thank you"
