Rent the Entire Property
For larger families, groups of friends, special celebrations, or intimate weddings, Villa Karga and Villa Nova can be rented together as one exclusive private estate.
Combined, the two villas offer six double bedrooms, two private swimming pools, a fully equipped gym, and a spacious hammam, comfortably accommodating 12–14 guests. This unique setup provides the perfect balance between shared experiences and personal privacy.
Although connected as one property, the villas remain completely independent, each with its own private entrance, gated parking area, garden, and pool. The entire estate is enclosed by traditional stone walls, creating a secure and secluded environment. A connecting door between the gardens can be unlocked when both villas are rented by the same group, allowing guests to move freely between the two properties.
Travelling as a group is about creating memorable moments together while still having the freedom to enjoy your own space. The thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor living areas provide plenty of room for gathering, dining, and celebrating, while also offering private corners where guests can relax and unwind in peace.
Whether you prefer spending the entire day together or enjoying occasional moments of solitude, the layout of the property ensures that proximity and privacy go hand in hand. The spacious terraces, gardens, pools, and communal areas create a welcoming setting for socialising, while the separate villas allow each guest to enjoy a sense of independence and comfort.
The estate is particularly well suited for family reunions, milestone celebrations, anniversaries, and intimate wedding gatherings. If you are planning a special occasion, a private villa offers a level of flexibility and exclusivity that few other venues can match. Arrange for a private chef, create a personalised menu, and tailor every detail to your preferences, transforming your stay into a truly unforgettable experience.
With its combination of luxury, privacy, and exceptional facilities, the entire property offers the perfect setting for celebrating life’s special moments in beautiful surroundings on Crete.

Both villas together - Villa Nova & Villa Karga, 6 bedrooms

Vi hadde en fantastisk familieferie i Villa Karga og Villa Nova. Villaene fremstår smakfulle, delikate og har alt av comfort. Her manglet ingenting og alt var tenkt på. Servicen før og under oppholdet var helt upåklagelig, Almyrida er dessuten et sjarmerende sted med en svært hyggelig atmosfære. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake.

Familieferie

Villa was fabulous, check in very smooth and all needs catered for by either host or owner. Nothing was too much trouble.
Close to town so no need to use a car to go out at night.
Great views of the snow capped mountains and base gives great opportunity for local and more adventurous walking.
All round great holiday.

Stay at Villa Nova

Our large family booked a week in both Villa Nova and Villa Karga to celebrate several birthdays.  It was wonderful, so relaxing, with everything you needed to be self sufficient and in a glorious climate VERY close to the beach and village of Almyrida.  It was great to have such excellent communication with the owners before the trip: being a nervous parent of a daughter with a severe nut allergy, I was really relieved to be able to have groceries at the villa on our arrival  that I knew would be safe for my daughter to eat.  The owners even checked out the local restaurants for us so we knew which ones would be able to easily accommodate us!  Throughout our time there it was also great to know that we had a local contact in case we needed anything - Roula was really friendly and helpful.  Everything is finished to a high standard and we loved the furniture - the interior (and exterior!) design is just fabulous.  We went in late May and paid for the pools to be heated - a smart move which meant all of us used both pools a number of times every day and the kids loved it.  I was sad to leave and will definitely be back at some point in the future.

It was fabulous!

Can I just say how much we all loved our holidays at Villa Karga and Nova. The design of the villas is stunning, the quality of the interior is extremely high, the views are amazing, and every small detail is well thought through. Thank you again for allowing us to stay late on the Saturday. It gave us another day of holiday, meaning that we could spend Jack’s 9th birthday at the beach rather than hanging around with suitcases, etc, and meant that we were refreshed for our journey home. We were so pleased with the villas and are very happy to recommend them. And we will certainly return should we come back to Crete.

Loved our holidays

Visited Almyrida in the beginning of June, 8 adults and two children (6 and 10 years). Have been travelling a lot around the world and must say that Villa Karga and Villa Nova is one of my best luxury experiences. Perfect location with wonderful view, only 5 min walking distance to the local restaurants beautiful located by the sea. If you like to play tennis, it took only 12 minutes by walking to the courts. Would highly recommend to book the chef, he cooked us a four course seafood menu with Greek wines that was fantastic. The chef and his host really made or last evening together. We also ordered pizza for lunch a couple of days, took 15-20 min and they delivered at the house, perfect for lunch at a reasonable price. There are many grocery stores and also a local butcher five minutes from the Villas, easy to cook your own food in a well equipped kitchen. I would highly recommend GM Villas for their top notch service and their nice concierge Natasa that was very helpful.
