The fully equipped kitchen, complete with modern amenities, invites you to prepare delicious meals or savor local delicacies from nearby Katerina's restaurant.
The upstairs loft
Spacious and serene.
Escape to the spacious upstairs loft, bathed in natural light. The elevated platform bed adds a touch of unique character, while the open-plan layout provides ample space for relaxation, work, or study. A kitchenette allows for convenient meal preparation, and the private bathroom ensures comfort and privacy.
The outdoor courtyard
A peaceful oasis.
Step into the heart of the home – a traditional courtyard steeped in history. Admire the large terracotta pots, once used to store precious goods, and marvel at the ancient millstone that once ground olives for oil production. The wood-fired oven offers a unique opportunity to experience authentic Cretan cooking. When the sun shines, cool off in the sparkling pool or relax on the sunbeds, soaking in the tranquil sounds and scents of the village.
