About the location:

Villa San Matteo is situated about 1,5 km outside the village of Livadia, where you can find some taverns. The nearest minimarket is in the village of Chrisoskalitissa, 10 kilometres away. The spectacular sandy beach of Elafonissi is only about 14 kilometers away and the next beach of Livadia (sand/stone mixture) is only about 5 minutes walk from the villa. Villa San Matteo is located right on the cliff edge of the Cape of Koutoulas and offers direct views from everywhere to the endless blue of the sea, the white pebbles on the beach, the green robinias and the black and red cliffs of the Cape.
 
The village of Livadia, Innahorion, located on the west coast, is 81 kilometres south-west of Chania and 35 kilometres from the town of Kissamos.
The village is located in the middle of the European E4 long-distance hiking trail (leading along the tarred coastal road to Elafonisi) - a coastal route of exceptional beauty that starts from the village of Kambos and continues through the villages of Keramoti, Livadia, Chrysoskalitissa and Elafonisi. The route represents the typical wild beauty of the rocky landscape of Crete thanks to the breathtaking alternation of olive and robinia trees and rocks of black and red lava formed by the sea.
In the village of Livadia, the food market still takes place in the traditional way - you can buy fish from the fishermen in the small harbour or vegetables, dairy products and meat from the farmers, but there are also three small taverns that even deliver food to the house. There is a mini-market in the village of Chrisoskalitissa, 10 km away, in the village of Kefali and in the village of Sfinaria, and supermarkets in the larger towns of Platanos and Kissamos. In the village of Elos, about 11 kilometres away, there is a petrol station.
Guests can, if they wish, take part in the daily activities of the villagers - charter a boat for a walk or for fishing, take part in the farming activities or in the numerous local festivals, collect grapes and trample them to make wine, learn how to make tsikoudia (Cretan local drink), etc. You will make friends with the friendly villagers, who consider foreign people as their guests and in this way you will get to know the tradition of Cretan hospitality.
A small sand/pebble beach can be found directly at the village.

The villa has a license from the Greek Tourist Board with the number 1042K10000017100.
