LONG-TERM OUT OF SEASON LETS

Villa Mia is ideally equipped all year round with double glazing, central heating and log burning fire giving you the chance to enjoy the island at its quietest. All year round temperatures in Crete always significantly exceed those in the UK and virtually never fall to freezing. Often the highest UK daytime temperature matches the Cretan night time lowest temperature! With only two good falls of snow in coastal regions in the past 50 years our plants continue to flower and you can eat outside most days wearing only a light jacket. There are many delightful walks in the surrounding area and a profusion of wildflowers all around. The views of the snow-capped White Mountains from the villa are breathtaking. Flights are available from major UK airports via Athens into Chania or Heraklion year round at reasonable rates. Changeover day is Saturday Nov - April.

Car hire can still be arranged, the island is peaceful, and we can recommend the best tavernas which remain open all year.

For one or two-week stays you can see our pricing on our Prices page, but we are prepared to offer discounts on longer-term lets of three or more weeks. This will depend upon the time of year, and you are best dropping us an email or giving us a call to discuss. Car hire can be arranged whatever the time of year, the island is peaceful out of season, and we can recommend the best tavernas which remain open all year.

For lets of 4 weeks or longer between Christmas and Easter 2012 we are offering a special price of 175€ per week, irrespective of the number of guests (up to the maximum of 6). This would not inlcude our normal twice-weekly housekeeping service and would also be plus utility bill costs which would be payable locally. We would be happy to arrange for a delivery of logs for you to enable you to snuggle up to a real fire in the evenings.
