Über diese villa dieses Ferienunterkunft


Balarina Residence is approved by the Greek Tourism Organization & managed by "etouri vacation rental management".


Nestled on a 4-acre estate filled with fruit trees, olive trees, a vineyard, and aromatic herbs, Balarina Residence offers a holiday escape where nature takes center stage. Located on the outskirts of Paralia Kournas, this stunning villa features four elegantly appointed bedrooms that comfortably accommodate up to eight guests.


Balarina Residence is a journey through time, preserving its historical essence and architectural integrity across generations. The very stones with which it was built--estimated to be over 650 years old--remain untouched by the extensive renovation, maintaining the spirit and strength of centuries past.


Balarina Residence, many years ago, was part of a settlement of 12 homes with roots dating back to both the Venetian rule (1205-1669) and the Ottoman period (1669-1898). It is said that during the Ottoman era, the entire settlement was the estate of Valaris Bey, from whom the residence takes its name to this day.


At Balarina Residence, you can still see three arches (domes)--the first likely from the Venetian period, and the other two from the time of Ottoman rule in the region. At the base of the interior staircase, there is also a stone loophole--a defensive architectural feature with a wide opening at the back and a narrow slit at the front--used by residents to fend off potential intruders.


Another noteworthy feature is the well in the courtyard, which served for many years as the sole water source for the entire settlement.

The house was perfect for our group of 6 adults. We all stayed in the main house, but could have used the well appointed casita if we wanted to. While it is new, the house incorporates elements of the earlier (historic) structure/settlement that was on the site. We enjoyed some lazy afternoons around the pool and evening cocktails watching the sunset. The view of the pink and purple flowers along the driveway, the olive trees, and the early grape vines was lovely. The house is well located for exploring Crete. It is close to the main road that takes you to Chania or Heraklion and there are lots of little shops for food, wine, and snacks in the village. The owners left a home made spinach and cheese pie for us and some Raki as part of the 'welcome' to the house and were very responsive to questions and queries, especially when one part of our group was locked out :)
