Villa in Crete with Private Pool & Views
Idyllic Setting & Unmatched Views Perched atop a gently rolling hill on a sprawling estate of 50–60 acres west of Mount Zeus, Villa Stella is enveloped by vineyards, olive groves, fruit trees, and aromatic herbs and flowers. Overlooking the scenic Ayios Sillas Plain and Southwest Knossos, this serene and beautiful hideaway is just a 15-minute drive from the heart of Heraklion.
Blend of Luxury and Nature Here, relaxation is a delight. Enjoy luxury nestled in wild landscapes, with terraces shaded by vines and fruit trees and surrounded by vibrant flower gardens—all offering sweeping mountain and sea views. The private mountain-side pool sits among fragrant trees and seating areas—an ideal spot for breakfast or dinner. Villa Stella’s central location makes it easy to explore the east, west, and south of Crete with ease.
Home-Grown Delights & Leisure Enhance your stay by indulging in the villa’s homemade products—olive oil, fresh honey, eggs, vegetables, fruit, and even ice cream, straight from the estate’s own shop.

Beautiful Villa, lovely host.
We have just enjoyed 2 weeks at the lovely villa Stella hosted by the very helpful and friendly Alexandros.
Immaculately clean and with the basic supplies, coffee, tea, bread, home grown grapes, bread and salad ready and waiting for us on arrival. We were even treated to a bottle of the owners own grown olive oil.
Simply couldn’t ask for more.
The road to the house is very steep so a good car is essential.
Would definitely recommend.
