PLACE OF INTEREST

At the northwestern foothills of Mountain Idi, at an altitude of approximately 380 m and close to the villa, there is the ancient city of Eleftherna. Today, ruins from different historic periods of ancient Eleftherna are rescued.

Eleftherna is supposed to be the 'next big thing' on Crete's archaeological map. A brand new museum is expected to be open along with the archaeological site itself.

Last but not least, for those who want to get the most of it: Cycling or walking excursions by following the E4 path Arkadi – Eleftherna – Margarites. Each destination has its own beauty. Total path length: 12km, duration 4.5 hours, suggested period: all year round, difficulty level: the gradients are not steep, yet the route is quite tiring.

Panormo is the closest beach -app. 13 km-, where you can find amazing tavernas with fresh fish, coffee shops, market, souvenir shops and amazing sandy beach with all sorts of summer sea sports and unique sea caves that you can explore.

The villa is located in a very quiet small village, ideal to relax!

We can arrange for you everything you may need such as car hire and pick up from the airport, organize for you special events and we can also arrange for you extra services with our professional cooperatives :
we arrange anything you may need during your stay at your villa to ensure that you will have unforgettable holidays like :

Perfect family get away.
Amazing venue. Host communication was fantastic. Facility was fantastic. Host looked after pool when we left to go out but checked to see when we were leaving. Lovely setting in the heart of Crete. We stayed with friends and none of us had any complaint. AC in every room, plenty of utensils and pots and pans what you need for a big party. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Villa Vergiana - Beautiful
It's a fantastic property and we had a wonderful 2 weeks there. Yes, it's a bit further away from major places to visit but the views, the facilities and the peace and quiet more than make up for the extra 15-20 minutes drive. A car is essential but make sure you don't get a car that's too big as you will struggle to get to the Villa, the access road is really narrow. The room layout was perfect for us and allows you to have some quiet time away from the pool area if you want. Garden and BBQ area are great, fresh fruit on the trees and the plants and flowers around the property give it a real traditional Greek feel. Kostas, our host was exceptional, he was always available should we have any questions and it was really nice to bump into him in the village during our stay. All in all, a fantastic property and a great host, the welcome pack we received on arrival was a really nice touch. If you're looking for an authentic Greek Villa which offers lots of space, peace and quiet to relax then I would recommend this location. Thanks Kostas and Evmorfia.

Semi-remote place to relax, totally worthwhile!!
The host Kostas was very nice, helpful, responsive during our stay. My family and our friends definitely would like to come back this beautiful and relaxing villa. The pictures do not do it justice, it is so much more beautiful in person. 100% recommended for your consideration!!!

A Far Removed Shangri-La
Although, initially not well supplied with toiletries and detergents and a bit of a hike to get to and from markets, etc. this property is beautiful and very comfortable. We had a bit of a problem with flies in a couple of the baths, but we were able to control the problem. For the eight of us it was exceptionally comfortable and the owner and manager were responsive to our requests and needs. This property will make your family feel very special..

Sehr schöne Villa in abgeschiedener Lage
Traumhaft. Kostas war sehr hilfsbereit. Es war schön zu beobachten, wie sich die Schwalben aus dem Pool im Flug getränkt haben. Wir genossen den Aufenthalt in vollen Zügen. Nachdem wir das nächste Mal eher Richtung Chania gehen wollen (Stichwort Entfernung zu Samaria, Elafonissi und Balos sehr weit) kommen wir danach bestimmt wieder hier her.

Skøn villa udenfor turistområder
Fantastisk service både før og under opholdet. Elisabeth svarer hurtigt på mail og Kosta på sms under opholdet. Stor rummelig villa med rigelig plads til os 9. Skøn pool og have! Meget rolige omgivelser og smuk udsigt mod havet.

Wir haben zum neuen Ende Juni 2022 in der Villa 10 Tage verbracht. Wir möchten uns auf diesem Wege noch einmal ganz herzlich bei Kostas dem Vermieter für den Service und die ständige Erreichbarkeit bedanken. Der Urlaub war genau so wie wir ihn geplant hatten und wir kommen gerne wieder. Ευχαριστώ Kostas

Sehr schöne Unterkunft
Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir waren zu 7. Es waren trotzdem alle ich glaube 13 Betten bezogen so dass man auch in ein anderes Zimmer ausweichen könnte wenn man denn wollte. Die Doppelbetten waren zum Teil auch sehr schmal so dass wir dieses ausweichen in ein anderes Zimmer tatsächlich genutzt haben. Der Garten und der Pool waren ein Traum. Granatapfel, Zitronen, Limetten, Feigen wuchsen einfach so auf dem Grundstück. Wirklich traumhaft. Jeden Morgen Granatapfel... Wir fühlten uns sehr gut aufgehoben. Vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt.
