Cottage in Douliana with communal pool

Set in the peaceful, traditional village of Douliana just 22 km east of Chania, this charming ground-floor accommodation offers a gentle retreat surrounded by forests, quiet paths and the natural beauty of Crete. It’s the kind of place where mornings feel slower, air feels fresher and every moment invites you to relax.
Inside, the space is cosy and thoughtfully furnished. The living–sleeping area includes a comfortable double bed, a single bed and a dining table for three. The kitchen corner is fully equipped with an electric 2-ring cooker, oven, kettle, toaster and fridge with freezer—ideal for preparing simple meals. The bathroom features a bathtub with shower, washbasin, toilet and hairdryer. With air conditioning and heating, comfort is guaranteed in every season.
Garden doors open to a calm outdoor space with sun loungers and a parasol—perfect for reading, resting or enjoying the sunshine. Guests also have access to a large shared swimming pool (10 × 8 m), beautifully set among trees and countryside. A baby bed, high chair and washing machine are available, and a shared recreation room offers a TV, iron and ironing board. Private parking is conveniently located just outside the property.
A welcome basket—coffee, tea, milk, orange juice and toasts—awaits you on arrival. Pets are welcome on request. From the property, a quiet forest road leads to the sea, only 3 km away. Kera Beach is 2.5 km from your doorstep, while the sandy shores of Almirida and Kalives (3 km) offer tavernas, cafés, supermarkets and water-sport activities.
