Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

This charming villa nestled in the rural village of Aggeliana is an idyllic retreat for a family or group of friends seeking a relaxing and restorative Cretan retreat. Inside, a homey and minimal interior awaits – Greek modernism takes centre stage in the home’s design whilst vintage furnishings add a personal touch. Pad out to the terrace to enjoy the warm tiles on your feet and sip your morning coffee overlooking the luscious lawn. It’s effortless to pass the time stretching out on the sunbeds turning pages of your holiday read and taking cooling dips amongst the sparkling ripples of your pool. Come the golden hour, head to the outdoor kitchen to prepare a Greek dinner spread of grilled lamb and dakos salad accompanied by a glass of Assyrtiko – we recommend a day trip to a local winery where you can sample the regional grape. Head to Spilies Beach where you can spend a day on the shingled shores and explore the majestic sea-formed coves. For lunch, settle into a sea-grazing taverna for the day’s catch and soak up the island mentality.

About Crete

The biggest of Greece’s islands, Crete has thousands of years of history scattered across its wild hinterland, and a coast dotted with secluded bays. The capital of Heraklion is a lively port city with a world-class museum, but the main draw to the island are the crumbling ruins, white mountains, and crystal clear waters for swimming and snorkeling. Evidence of the ancient Minoans that once lived here is on display...
