Ginger‘s home is a 20 year old stone-built domicile, located in a 2.000 qm garden. Situated in the magical surroundings of the fertile Apokoron region at the foot of the White Mountains.

It is lovingly renovated with a beautiful panoramic view over olivegroves and across the valley to Almyrida beach. The house with its Venetian Red facade and its high-beamed ceilings nestles on a hillside and enfolds you with an overwhelming sense of peace – in complete harmony with its surroundings.

With the facade we followed traditional venetian techniques opting for natural gentle materials like lime color. Although fully modernised ginger‘s home avoids the sterility that sometimes characterises recently built holiday homes.

The domicile consists of a one-room-mainhouse and a little adjoining second house which is the sleeping room. Inbetween is the newly renovated bathroom. The two terraces offer stunning views. The second unit, which can be reached over a stone stairway, is the studio with its own small bathroom, a walk-in closet and a shadowy pergola.

The solar-heated pool built in natural stone, is located in the most prominent area of the plot, offering unobstructed views of the sea, Almyrida and the bay of Souda. 

Old paved pathways lead through the lush garden past pomegranate, lemon, orange, apricot, pear, fique and olive trees.

The small costal village of Almyrida is only a 5 minute drive from the house, where you can find everything you need for your stay. The magnificent city of Chania is less than 30 km away.

The property accomodates up to four people and we rent it out like this, but it can also be rented as two selfcontained units, each with its own bathroom and private terrace but with one share-kitchen in the mainhouse.

Above all – it is our family’s home! We wish to share this space, its fruits, stories and values with cat-loving friends who seek unique places, freedom and personal, genuine contacts.

It is a magical place to enjoy the tasty kretan kitchen, organic food & wine, taking time for baths and naps, reading books under the kretan sun – allowing yourself to suspend time. Mostly with Ginger on the lap.
