Romantic studio with semi private pool



Ariana's studio with airconditioning is spacious and romantic. There is a double bed and for a third person there is a sofa bed. You can cook your own meals in the kitchen and enjoy the view from your terrace.
A shady footpath through colourful gardens with Mediterranean plants leads you to the pool area. The 50m2 pool is a peaceful oasis surrounded by flowers and shrubs. There is ample space with sun-loungers for the guests to relax. At the far end there is a bar with a fridge and a barbecue for the exclusive use of the guests. Guests can enjoy night swimming in the lit pool which is for the sole use of the guests Ariana's Apartment, Ariana's Villa and Ariana's Studio.

Location and things to do nearby:

A small road from Kastelli-Kissamos leads up to the hamlet of Kato Kounopitsa. Ariana's Place is in a stunning location on a hillside overlooking the small town of Kissamos, the sea and the olive groves. This little gem is perfect for those who want to be near all the amenities of a small Greek town, but also appreciate the peace and quiet of the countryside. Imagine picking flowers from the garden or herbs for cooking and making tea. It takes less than 5 minutes to drive to town or to the nearest beaches.
We like to provide our guests with tips and suggestions for day-trips, hikes, snorkelling and scuba diving in the Bay of Kissamos, shopping, where to find the best tavernas, and other practical information.
Literally from your doorstep you can go on walks and explore the local area, which is rich in wild flowers, little churches and ancient sites.
Ariana's Place is a perfect base from which to explore the west of Crete. The beautiful white sand beach of Falasarna is only 20 minute away, or a little further you can visit the sandy beach and nature reserve of Elafonisi, or you might wish to explore the Gramvousa peninsula and the famous lagoon of Balos with a day trip on a boat.
There are many beautiful gorges to hike, for example Deliana, Anidri and Agia Irini.
For those who are interested in ancient Crete there are wonderful museums in Kissamos itself and in Chania. The museum in Kissamos has some of the best-preserved Roman mosaic floors in the world, while the Historical Museum of Chania boasts artefacts and carved seals dating back to 1500 AC. Among the interesting archaeological sites to visit are Polyrrinia, Falasarna and Aptera.
Kissamos has many superb restaurants and fish tavernas where you can enjoy the traditional Cretan cuisine.
The nearby historical Venetian city of Chania is a must for cultural history and of course shopping. You can buy handmade leather goods in the famous 'Leather Lane' and visit the popular covered market. Chania also has numerous excellent restaurants near the historic harbour.
There are endless possibilities for day trips elsewhere - to Paleochora and the south coast, the White Mountains, the Samaria Gorge, monasteries etc.

Please read about the new "Climate Resilience Levy" tax in the house rules.
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be within walking distance of Kissamos Stadium. Enjoy features like an outdoor pool. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the apartment.
  • Air-conditioned apartment with kitchen, balcony, and refrigerator
  • Free WiFi
  • Take a swim in the outdoor pool
  • Just a 3-minute drive from Kissamos Stadium and 7 minutes from Telónio Beach

Great place away from the crowds
The studio was fantastic for two people and more spacious than I'd anticipated. It's in a great spot overlooking the town and very secluded, which is one of the reasons we chose it. The pool isn't overlooked and has amazing views all round and, on the occasions we used it, we had it to ourselves. The gardens were beautiful too. However, perhaps the best aspect of it all was the host, Arianna. She was extremely helpful and, having got to know your likes and dislikes, offered various suggestions for trips out. We took her advice and weren't disappointed at all, we'd certainly have missed out on things had it not been for her help. On one occasion, the toaster stopped working and she was round with another one minutes after receiving my message! The place is absolutely recommended, thank you Arianna.

A little bit of paradise
Fantastic location, the views were amazing, surrounded by a valley and lovely gardens. The studio is perfect, clean and well equipped, lovely outside balcony to sit out on an evening and eat breakfast. Arianne was very welcoming and was there if we needed anything, and contactable by WhatsApp at any time. The pool is so beautiful. We walked each morning (on a good road downhill) into Kissamos, and caught a 5 € taxi back up. Loved it so much going back next year. Kissamos is a lovely small town with lots of lovely bars and restaurants and great beaches. A very special corner of Crete.

Perfect idyllic spot
We had a lovely week here. The apartment has everything you could need. Both rural and sea views from the balcony and the sound of mountain goats clambering away in the distance. We'd selected this place for the garden and pool area, being six months pregnant it made a perfect escape from the hot August beaches and busier towns, perfect for our slow paced babymoon. For those who are keen gardeners the botanical gardens about half an hour away are a must. And there are two excellent bakeries just five minutes down the hill in the town for picking up morning bread and pastries. Ariana was super friendly- despite our very late check in made sure we found the property and provided clean towels half way through our stay and a bottle to enjoy on arrival.

Peaceful location, small perfect studio - we loved every minute ❤️
We had an amazing holiday at Arianna’s Studio. It was peaceful with wonderful views of Kissamos bay. The pool area was a few steps away and we mostly had it to ourselves.... fridge in bar area was brill to keep beers in, so we could enjoy whilst sunbathing. Arianna was always around to answer questions and suggest restaurants but fully appreciated peoples privacy. We loved Maria Beach and the restaurant there. The studio is set above Kissamos and it’s quite a walk up hill but this didn’t bother us at all - we had a car and recommend having one. We loved our holiday and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to family and friends. Thank you Arianna.... we will return xxx

Schöne, ländliche Oase der Ruhe
Arianne ist eine sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Wir haben uns auf Anhieb willkommen und gut empfangen gefühlt. Die Unterkunft hat einen schönen ländlichen Flair. Die Poolanlage ist wunderschön in der Natur gelegen und lädt zum Verweilen ein. Wer Ruhe sucht, ist bei Arianne genau richtig. Ariannes Unterkuft bietet den perfekten Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge zum Strand Falassarna, Elafonisi und Balos. Auch Chania ist nicht weit entfernt. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit und würden wiederkommen! Man sollte wissen, dass die Auffahrt zum Parkplatz der Unterkunft relativ steil ist. Dies ist weiter aber kein Problem, wir sind immer gut rauf und runter gekommen mit unserem Mietwagen. Man sollte sich nur darauf einstellen :)

Il posto perfetto per visitare l'ovest di Creta
Se vuoi visitare la costa ovest di Creta e le sue famose spiagge Kissamos è sicuramente il punto di partenza ideale. Da Kissamos puoi raggiungere in un'ora di macchina Elafonissis,20 minuti Falsarna, 50 minuti (compresi gli 8 km di sterrato) Balos e in 30 minuti Chania e spiagge limitrofe. La struttura di Arianne si trova sulla collina a cinque minuti di macchina dal centro di Kissamos. Pertanto in una posizione tranquilla, nel verde e nel silenzio, circondata da uliveti. Il mio era un monolocale molto grande con letto matrimoniale, cucina, divano e splendida terrazza con vista sulla baia sottostante e sulle colline intorno. Nel piccolo complesso di tre appartamenti è presente una bella piscina perfettamente curata con a disposizione sdraio e ombrelloni. Perfetta per rilassarsi dopo una giornata di mare. Il complesso di appartamenti è molto curato ed Arianne è una padrona di casa presente, disponibile ma molto discreta. La vostra privacy e tranquillità è al primo posto. In definitiva la casa di Arianne è il punto di partenza ideale per visitare le bellezze della parte ovest di Creta. Grazie Arianne per la splendida ospitalità.

Paradiesische Erholung auf Kreta – Ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt in Ariana’s liebevoller Oase
Unser 15-tägiger Aufenthalt auf Kreta war einfach fantastisch. In Ariana's Place konnten wir wunderbar vom Alltag abschalten und die Zeit in vollen Zügen genießen. Die Unterkunft und die traumhafte Poolanlage sind mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet – überall begegnen einem charmante griechische Akzente, wunderschöne Dekorationen und eine bunte Vielfalt an Blumen, die das Ambiente perfekt abrunden. Besonders liebenswert fanden wir auch die Katzen, die Ariana mit großer Sorgfalt hält. Sie werden im Laufe des Aufenthalts zutraulich und lassen sich nach und nach gerne kraulen, was zu einem besonders heimeligen Gefühl beiträgt. Wichtig zu erwähnen ist, dass die Unterkunft auf einem Hügel liegt, weshalb ein Auto in der Regel unverzichtbar ist. Ariana selbst ist eine überaus aufmerksame Gastgeberin, die sich stets Zeit für ihre Gäste nimmt und mit hilfreichen Tipps zu Restaurants und Freizeitaktivitäten zur Seite steht. Dank ihrer Empfehlungen haben wir immer genau das Richtige gefunden. Wir blicken mit großer Freude auf unseren Aufenthalt zurück und möchten Ariana für ihre herzliche Gastfreundschaft danken. Sie hat unseren Urlaub zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. Schon jetzt freuen wir uns auf die nächste Gelegenheit, wieder ihre Gäste zu sein. Für alle, die dem Alltagsstress entfliehen und an einem friedlichen Ort die Seele baumeln lassen wollen, können wir Ariana’s Place wärmstens empfehlen!

Havre de paix au milieu d'un jardin luxuriant
Malgré une arrivée tardive au port de Kissamos (minuit), Arianna a organisé les choses afin que nous puissions accéder à son logement en toute sérénité (organisation du transport depuis le port jusqu'à chez elle et vidéo du lieu où nous devions loger). Hôte très accueillante et bienveillante, toujours disponible mais également discrète. Pour ce qui est du lieu : lieu authentique, tranquille et reposant avec une vue imprenable et panoramique sur la montagne et la mer. Superbe jardin et piscine plus que rafraichissante au milieu d'un cadre naturel exceptionnel (oiseaux de proie survolant fréquemment la montagne). Endroit dans les hauteurs, à l'abri de l'agitation de la ville que l'on peut rejoindre facilement en 15 minutes de marche. Un séjour qui nous a fait du bien. Nous retournerons chez Arianna sans hésitation!

Toller Urlaub!
Schönes Appartement, was ich herzlich weiterempfehle! Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt bei Ariana und haben uns wie Zuhause gefühlt. Ariana ist sehr hilfsbereit und nett. Das Studio war blitzeblank und ausreichend ausgestattet. Das Bett war zwar hart, wie viele vorher schon angemerkt haben, aber man schläft ausgezeichnet drinnen. Die Dusche ist warm und auf der Terrasse hat man schon ab dem frühen Morgen Sonne. Wir sind mit unserem 8 Monate alten Sohn verreist und haben alle gut Platz gehabt in der Wohnung. Auch wenn der Pool noch kalt war (April), konnte man gut dort die Sonne genießen. Runter in den Ort braucht man zu Fuß 20 min. Zurück geht es bergauf. Ist einem der Rückweg zu viel, kann man für ein paar Euros ein Taxi nehmen. Es gibt 4 Katzen die sich in der Umgebung aufhalten und mit etwas Geduld auch streicheln lassen. Ansonsten lassen sie einem in Ruhe und sind nicht aufdringlich. Es war ein wirklich schöner Urlaub bei Ariana und wir kommen gerne wieder!
