Our ethos has not changed since 1984 we select quality properties that we would choose for our own holidays. They are set in the coastal villages of Crete and Kefalonia, in quiet corners of Mallorca and Menorca and in undiscovered Sicily. Our attention to detail doesn’t stop once you’ve made your booking. We’ll leave you to enjoy your Villa totally undisturbed but supported behind the scenes by an experienced manager who lives locally and knows all the contacts you just may need, at their fingertips. Plus you will have access to our guidebook with all kinds of local information to make the most of your holiday!

Sea and mountain Views from each of three terraces over which Villa Zara’s grounds extend, capture the very essence of Crete; the comings and goings of the occasional ferry boat, hilltops capped by sparkling white villages and mountains rising dreamily in the distance. A totally modern Villa, Zara has been constructed and decorated using the best of Cretan tradition, with gleaming wood beamed ceilings and wood furnishings. A few individual villas scatter the hillside on which the Villa is built, from which privacy is maintained behind tree lined, stone walls.

1 km uphill from the sandy sweep of pretty Almerida, with its tavernas almost on the sand itself, the village of Plaka, has a mini market and some very good tavernas whose tables and chairs spill out onto the square, bringing it to life in the evenings. Villa Zara is 800m wandering distance from this square. For a change of beach scene, the small resort of Kalives and Georgioupolis are within easy striking distance. Chania’s Venetian Harbour is 25 kms away and Rethymnon 40 kms.
