Welcome

Your shelter in Crete

For more than twenty years, with our family's hospitality and personal care, we've helped people have holidays in Crete they don't forget. Everything here is clean and carefully looked after, so you can relax and enjoy the quiet of nature.

They have what a stay needs, from air conditioning and a fridge to a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom, a washing machine and a private balcony, with spacious parking and a children's playground outside.

Built by hand

Local stone, Cretan wood

Our maisonettes were carefully designed and built with our own solid local stone. It's strong, it matches the land around it, and it works as natural insulation for the whole building, which passers-by often stop to admire and photograph. Our studios have a private balcony, air conditioning and everything a couple needs for a comfortable, relaxing holiday.

The stone and the wood all come from the area, chosen by an experienced, talented builder so the buildings sit in harmony with the landscape. The furniture is in traditional Cretan style, and the tablecloths in the rooms are handmade by Mrs Androniki, some of the embroidered ones by her mother. Inside, the scent of the wood and the wild beauty of the stone take you back to older times.

Whichever apartment, studio or room you choose, you'll have a peaceful holiday in a quiet family setting.
