Anopolis Heraklion: Villa Fabrica - the old olives' press.

"Villa Fabrica is located in the traditional village of Anopolis,just 15 minutes from Heraklion airport and 5 minutes from the sandy Kokkini Hani beaches. Is a 100-year-old stone building, originally used as an olive factory, carefully restored into a traditional rustic style two-storey house suitable for 2-6 persons. It is quietly located in the village of Anopolis about 100 m from the village square. In the village one finds several cafenions, tavernas and a minimarket. Further shops, supermarkets,bars, ATM, can be found in Kokkini Hani some 3 km away,with a selection of local beaches. The gate opens into a small yard from where one enters the house. On the ground floor is a spacious and comfortable furnished living room and dining room with wooden ceiling, TV,stone built fireplace, separate WC with washing machine. Next to it is a cosy terrace full of flowerpots and surrounded by a small garden,a BBQ and a stone oven.The perfect place to unwind, after a long day's journey. The open plan fully equipped kitchen with dining room too is separated from the living room by a stone archway. From the living room a spiral staircase leads to the first floor into the bedroom with 2 single beds. A large veranda facing the Dikti Mountains and the Monastery of Agios Ioannis can offer an amazing view over the countryside. Next to it there is a separate bedroom with double bed, a bathroom en suite with bath/WC and 2 balconies. A nice place to relax and take part in village life.It offers the unique combination of peace anong with modern comforts and easy access to city life."

Idyllic country retreat
We had a wonderful 5 days stay. The villa is tucked away in a quiet mountain village but close to beach and Heraklion. Excellent location for Knossos as well. Our host was lovely and very welcoming. And all his restaurant recommendations were excellent. A visit to The Golden Cage a must!

Beautiful traditional village home
A more beautiful place could not be found in a small village not far from Heraklion. Filled with comfort, Greek warmth and a lot of thoughtfulness. Plenty of room, lovely patio and balconies off the upstairs bedrooms. If you’re looking for some peace and quiet in a beautiful setting, look no further.

Wonderful villa
This place was so nice, just perfect for our 3 week stay. The village was filled with friendly residents who greeted us daily and we came and went and we ate dinner four nights at the Golden Cage which we loved (it was a quick walk). I would highly recommend this lovely place.

What a magical house! The village where it is located is like stepping into the past. It was a great experience for me and my family! The host was so nice and gave us a history of the house and the area. We absolutely loved our stay. The views of the mountains from the upstairs are absolutely beautiful! Cannot recommend enough!

Gem in a small village near Iraklio
We enjoyed our stay in this wounderfull rustic house very much. Travelling off-season the wood stove made the house comfy as soon as we lit the fire. Also the tavern "Golden Cage" can be recommended for nice atmosphere and delicous Greek food.

Quiet village life
Nice rustic experience with all the modern conveniences. The village and everyone in it were super pleasant and welcomed us in with open arms. The house (old olive mill) was very impressive and has many balconies and decks to sit and relax. I recommend if you want to stay out of the hustle of the city have a quiet time then this is the place.

Hilltop Hideaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It has a beautiful view of the countryside, way up high on the mountain top and it overlooks a lovely monastery. We loved that it had two bathrooms and two bedrooms. This is a very roomy home. I could have spent a month here enjoying the solitude as we love being in small mountain villages. The owner has thought of everything. We felt right at home.

This is bar none the most beautiful property we have had the pleasure to rent. The quaint village location, the view of the olive groves surrounding the town, the friendliness of the locals, we will be back and we would have no problem telling people this is a must stay location if visiting Crete.

Lovely stay at Villa Fabrica
We stayed at Villa Fabrica in May 2018 and loved it, the villa is very comfortable and easy to stay in, having breakfast on one of the balconies looking over the valley and the monastery is absolutely fabulous.The villa has got every convenience and is well maintained, and the village is very quiet and friendly. Walking up into the hills in the evening as the sun is going down is lovely. It is just a short drive into the many tavernas of Kokkini Hani where we enjoyed many tasty meals, so all in all an excellent holiday.

The view from the house was nice. If you’re at the property at the begging of the week the local restaurant is not open and local market has bread only. You have to drive to the city for 15 min to the nearest market. We arrived at the property late Sunday evening a family of 4 with young kids and it was inconvenient not to have anything around for breakfast. Would have been nice the owner to give heads up about to bring snacks ( if needed). The bed mattress was squeaky and uncomfortable. My husband and I had back pain every morning even though both of us in a good physical shape. No nice beaches around the area and not much to visit nature wise. We enjoyed our stay in Chania and visited all around. We were not very impressed with the area of Heraklion.

a fabulous village house
A lovely house in the charming traditional cretian village of Anapoli,with fabulous views from the upstairs balconies . The house was well equipped and felt like a home . Manolis was a very kind and helpful man who gave good advice on local tavernas and places to visit. The village is close to shops, beach , and restaurants in Kokkini Hani ,we visited the aquarium in Gournes which was very good.

Quaint Little Village
Anapoli is a quiet unassuming village and the home is warm and inviting. We enjoyed our stay. It is centrally located and you can drive to most parts of the island. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds are comfortable, warm living area and the owner was very gracious. He met us and drove us to the village and also spent time with us highlighting areas to visit during our stay. He also made restaurant recommendation - Peskesi! Reservations are a must but it is worth it. Crete is a beautiful island even in December! We will return!

Picturesque
Villa Fabrica is a gorgeous piece of property with incredible views. Manny picked us up at the airport and when we arrived, there was wine, fruit and Rika. It did not take us long to find spots to eat and enjoy Greek music. The village people were amazing to talk to. In the villa we enjoyed enough plates, cooking ware and the water pressure was perfect. We can't say enough about the hospitality of everyone we met. Thanks for a perfect getaway.

This beautiful, welcoming little home was like living inside a gracious piece of living art. It has been painstakingly renovated as a labor of love by its owners, and everywhere you look, both inside and outside, is peace, order, beauty, and delight. We had everything we needed for our comfort and ease in this well-equipped house, including a beautifully working woodstove and an elegant bathtub. And of course I was not disappointed by the location: incredibly close to everything, including the airport, Heraklion, and all the major tourist sites, while serenely sequestered in a small hill village.

Excellent villa in a village
This is a lovely and comfortable villa. It is well equipped with beautiful outdoor spaces as well. Evi and Manolis were excellent and caring hosts who were most helpful in all things. The location is in a small village that is very convenient for all sightseeing without any of the touristic rush of people. The only two things I consel are 1. you will need a car and 2. follow Manolis' restaurant recommendations each of which served delicious and interesting food.
