AGRIELIA VILLA FAMILY - FRIENDLY VILLA IN HERAKLION CRETE

Agrielia Villa | Sgourokefali | Heraklion Crete

The villa “AGRIELIA” is housed in a restored traditional stone house of two
floors(178,93 m²) in the village Sgourokefali in Heraklion. By decision of the Municipality of Heraklion – Urban Planning, the hostel was characterized as traditional. The restoration was done with more care by artisans of the stone so as not to lose the character of the house. It retains all the elements of traditional architecture, combining respect for tradition with the comforts of a modern guesthouse.

The ground floor has a separate, fully equipped kitchen with a fireplace, large living room with an arch separating the living from the dining room, spacious bedroom with double bed (15 sq.m.) overlooking the eastern courtyard and a large bathroom with Jacuzzi. The living room of the ground floor has traditional furnishing and a fireplace. The ground floor of the hostel around two courtyards is filled with flowers, colors, smells, where guests can relax and enjoy the view. In the courtyard entrance (west terrace) there is an old well and old stone staircase, which give a specific tone in the place.

The eastern courtyard of the hotel has a swimming pool (Pool size: 4m width. / Length 6m. / Depth 1.40 m). The pool water is fresh, not sea, disinfected with a modern and eco-system with ozone. This system gives the best disinfection with minimal use of chemicals and also provides ozone therapy. The place has a barbeque. Here visitors can enjoy coffee or a meal in the lounge by the pool or dine under the wooden pergola. The floor of the hostel consists of a bedroom (15 sq.m.) with two single beds, one bedroom (23 sq.m.) with double bed and a sofa - bed for two persons, bathroom with hydro massage shower (Jacuzzi). Both bedrooms have a sharing balcony.
Also, from the hall you have access to another large balcony.

Lovely house near Heraklion
It is a very lovely house, very well situated to visit Heraklion and other sites in the center of Crete. Altough the house is in a village, it is very calm. Stelios, the owner, is very gentle and answers queries. We would definitely recommend it.

Great experience!!!
Absolute stunning house in the middle of a little Greek village. Everything was just perfect - so quiet and within beautiful Cretan nature. For trips to the beach or shopping tours you definitely will need a car but then you can expect a perfect stay

Lovely, mostly quiet and peaceful
Stelios and his family met us at the property and showed us around. The villa is lovely with a perfect small pool, clean tidy and well provisioned. There was a religious festival one day and the neighbours were playing music late into the night - the rest of the week all was quiet and peaceful. A couple of small problems were sorted out quickly and efficiently by Stelios after an exchange of What’sApp messages. Thank you for a great stay

Relaxing rural retreat
We loved our stay at Villa Agreilia. It is large, very comfortable, well-equipped, and the pool and terrace area are stunning. Thoughtful provision of some fresh eggs, water, olive oil and raki. Extremely good and easy communication before and throughout our stay. Stelios also sent many excellent recommendations (shops, restaurants, beach clubs etc). You definitely need a car but it is easy to get around and Villa Agreilia made the perfect base for exploring the north of the island. Very conveniently located for Heraklion airport (20 mins drive). We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay here and were very sad when our holiday came to an end. Yamas Stelios and Maria!

Wonderful Villa
We had the most wonderful week at the Villa, we could have stayed longer very easily. It offered everything we needed. You absolutely need a car but the neighbouring villages have lovey little restaurants and mini fruit and veg shops. Lidl is only 18 minutes drive and has everything you need. The Cicada beach bar / restaurant / sunbeds was amazing well worth a visit and again only 15 mins away Our hosts were incredible, super responsive and offered recommendations of restaurants, bars and beaches and ordered us taxis on departure. We would love to return Best Michelle

Amazing villa
My mom is from Crete and i have been many times. We have always stayed with family in Heraklion. This time we decided to rent a villa in a more quiet part of Heraklion. The villa was amazing and was exacttay as described. I loved the stone architecture throughout the villa and differently fit with the old world theme of the village. It was very spacious and my kids enjoyed the pool while I enjoyed the view. Village was small and quiet. Exactly what i was looking for. Far away from the main city but still close enough to get to the center and the beaches. Property manager, Stellios

On arrival we were greeted by the wonderful Stelios & Maria. Welcome goodies where ready for us & the owners showed us around. They were more than helpful to advise local authentic restaurants & places to visit. The Mini-market had all we needed just a few minutes from the Villa. The bikes were ready & any problems, Stelios was on hand to sort. This Villa was so beautiful inside & maintained to a very high standard throughout. I can highly recommend for a relaxing break. Thankyou for the most relaxing break I have had in years!!!! Car recommend. Thanks so much I will be back!

Wonderful two weeks, no complaints at all!
We have just returned from Villa Agrielia after having a wonderful and relaxing 14 days holiday. Many thanks to our hosts Stelios, Maria and family for your friendliness and hospitality helping us to enjoy our stay. The villa is beautifully decorated in a traditional stone wall and wooden ceiling style situated in a quiet village. It is an ideal base for exploring if you so wish, but car is essential if you are out every day. We made use of the bikes riding to Episkopi on several occasions and found people so friendly they really make you feel at home. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend the villa to family and friends.

Erholsamer Urlaub in dieser wunderschönen Villa
Wir waren 10 Tage in der wunderschönen Villa von Stelios. Es war alles vorhanden und unser Gastgeber hat uns Nachts (1 Uhr) super herzlich empfangen und uns den Kühlschrank für das Frühstück befüllt und sogar einen Wein bereitgestellt. Der Pool war super und alles sehr sauber! Wir hatten eine super Zeit und haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Auch bei Fragen konnten wir uns immer an ihn wenden und er hat sich direkt um eine Lösung gekümmert. eine.

Stelios and Maria were very welcoming and always available if we needed anything. The accommodation offered us everything we needed and was well located for trips to the beach, Heraklion and the airport. Some good recommendations from Stelios so try those out. We had welcome gifts when we arrived and Stelios’ parents next door also kindly dropped in some fruit. Enjoy the sounds of the countryside and the cicadas and make the booking. You won’t be disappointed.

July Crete 2024
The house is exactly as shown in the photos. The owner met us on arrival and showed us how everything worked. He and his wife had also left enough food for us to eat that night as our flight was in very late and the shops were closed. The property is very beautiful and private. You definitely need a car to get there and travel around. The surrounding village has supermarkets and a bakery. There are also several cafes and restaurants. It is only about 20 mins from the airport which was very handy. The villagers were very friendly and helpful. I know another reviewer mentioned the cicadas, which are very noisy but they are very noisy all over Crete so hard to avoid.

Wunderschöne Villa
Die Villa Agrielia überzeugt rundum. Wir waren mit 5 Personen zum Urlaub dort und haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Das Gebäude ist nicht nur architektonisch schön, sondern auch geräumig und sauber. Auch die Lage ist angenehm: die Ortschaft selbst hat einen ländlichen Charakter, Heraklion ist aber mit einer kurzen Autofahrt zu erreichen. Der Vermieter ist überaus entgegenkommend und hat uns vorab bereits zahlreiche Informationen zu Attraktionen, Einkaufs- und Essensmöglichkeiten der Umgebung zukommen lassen.

Maison campagne avec piscine pour famille
Maison très agréable, spacieuse avec piscine et jolie terrasse. Nous avons plus profité de l’extérieur de la villa, bercés par le chant des cigales très présent en journée mais qui s’éteint dès le coucher du soleil. Stelios est soucieux de notre confort. Ménage et changement du linge en milieu de séjour. Hormis d’Heraklion, la maison est assez éloignée des sites touristiques. Voiture obligatoire et ne pas être réfractaire au temps de trajet ! Mais pour nous, séjour parfait !

Sehr schönes, großes Haus mit Pool
Das Haus ist sehr geräumig mit 3 großen Schlafzimmern, Wohn- und Esszimmer. Alles in einem rustikalen , „griechischen“ Stil eingerichtet. Der Garten mit Pool ist sensationell. Genügend Platz zum Sitzen oder Liegen. Der Pool selbst ist nicht sehr groß, aber zum Abkühlen wunderbar. Kurz: Sehr empfehlenswert, wir würden wiederkommen!

We wanted somewhere with a pool near where our son was getting married but also not too far from Hereklion and coast. A fantastic home, with all possible facilities and equipment you could wish for. Stelios and Maria were amazing welcoming hosts and the ladies who came midweek carried out a thorough clean & linen/towel change. Thank you very much. We would love to return. Strongly recommend.

Beautiful villa set in a lovely little town
We’ve spent a week here and absolutely loved the villa. It’s about 20 mins outside Heraklion and was a great base to explore the island. The villa was well laid out for our family of 5 and had everything that we could need. The villa was very clean and the sheets were changed and another clean done mid week. The pool was lovely and had the sun throughout the day. Thank you for having us.

Wunderschöner griechischen Familienurlaub
Die Villa bot unserer Familie (sechs Personen) ein wunderschönes griechisches Zuhause. Der architektonisch sehr ansprechende Wohnraum ist mit einem wunderschönen Naturstein gemauert und bietet genügend Raum zum Leben. Die Terrasse mit dem Pool ist einfach klasse und bietet einen schönen Blick auf die Olivenbaumhaine. Die ruhige Lage im typisch kretischen Dorf hat uns sehr gefallen. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war absolut exzellent, sehr freundlich und wir wurden vorab mit klasse Tipps für Tavernen und Strände versorgt. Der Reinigungsservice war - top! Alles in allem - fünf Sterne plus Sternchen :)
