Metoche Family House

  Metoche Family House

Offering outstanding views over Souda Bay and within five minutes drive of the secluded Blue Beach are three romantic dwellings each of unique charm and character. Each has its own separate patio for private sunbathing and sea views. The three individual properties - the Family House, Farmhouse and Penthouse - are in the Eastern Metoche part of the village, towards the Aptera ruins. The original large eighteenth century farmhouse has thick stone walls which ensure it is cool throughout the long summer months.  Each enjoys its own privacy,separate entrance from the pretty courtyard. Twin and double bedrooms and separate terrace for sunbathing and sea views. The Family House B category - Sleeps 2/6 Ground floor: Large living/dining area with traditional corner fireplace. An archway to the fitted kitchen complete with electric cooker, fridge and other kitchen facilities. The patio behind the house (accessed via a door form the living area to the side of the house) has tables and chairs enabling you to soak in the beautiful view. There is a steep and narrow staircase (not suitable for young children or elderly/infirm) that leads up to the first floor. First floor: Spacious upstairs lounge with panoramic view over the bay; one sofabed. One double and one twin bedroom. Bathroom with shower and bath. Marble floors throughout. Walking distance (1/2 mile) to a choice of tavernas and village store with nearest sandy beach about 4 miles. The village has settled down for the night and I have climbed onto the roof to find a warm breeze with a slight scent of the sea and wonderful, magic views in four directions. The fifth direction is upwards to a sky with more stars than I would have believed possible. The temptation to lie down here and count constellations and to gaze beyond the Milky Way into eternity is almost irresistible... Robert Booth Classic FM
