Our vacation home features 2 spacious bedrooms, each decorated in soothing colors inspired by the color palette of the Mediterranean. Both bedrooms are equipped with king-size beds (new beds and mattresses in 2019) and are connected to your own sun terrace, furnished with comfortable garden furniture. This is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee in the sun or have a glass of wine surrounded by the serene atmosphere of Cretan nights. One of the two bedrooms also has an additional single bed, while the other bedroom has an extra baby crib.
The bright living room overlooks the garden and is designed to make you feel comfortable right away. The light marble floor gives the room a timeless and natural look. Here you will find a seating area with a 4-seater sofa, 2 armchairs, a coffee table, a smart TV, and a desk with an office chair. Upon request, we can turn the living room into an additional third bedroom with a single bed.

The kitchen is fully equipped, including dish soap, salt, pepper, coffee, tea, sugar, and much more. And, of course, your Cretan holiday home would not be complete without a bottle of extra virgin olive oil made by us!
