Stonehouse

The house belongs to the so-called vaulted houses, a building type that is widespread in Crete, which allows the housing of one-story buildings on one or more low arches. Completely renovated (in 2003 and 2018), the house has maintained all the original characteristics of traditional folk Cretan architecture while seamlessly incorporating furniture and equipment to meet the modern lifestyle. The original Cretan character is evident from the irregular shape of many of the rooms which are also at different levels. The old little stable has been skillfully incorporated into the main building owing to the attractiveness of the high ceiling and the wooden loft originally used for storing hay. This particularity gave the unique opportunity to create a small suite where the double bed is placed on a wooden raised loft while the space under it is occupied by a bathroom and a private wardrobe. The furniture has been handpicked to provide a modern light character that contrasts the prominent traditional stonework of the walls, present both internally and externally. The marriage of these elements is completed by old and renovated pieces of furniture and lamps.

Master Bedroom

The master bedroom is a loft with two levels (total area 23 sqm). Climb up the stairs and you will find a comfortable double bed and a view (note the cheeky window behind the headboard which offers natural cooling when the room A/C is off), climb down the steps and you are in the hallway of the room featuring a classical wardrobe and some modern storage space. The master bedroom has a spacious ensuite bathroom.

Twin Bedroom
The twin bedroom (9.5 sqm) combines modern touches on an old-style room. Two single beds, a wardrobe, and a chest of drawers are at your disposal. Wake up with a view of the pool! The second bathroom is a door away. Notice how elegantly the modern bathroom equipment is embedded in the raw materials used to build the house. The twin bedroom also has its own A/C.
Living Room

The living room is 20 sqm with two extra comfortable sofas, A/C, independent access to the garden, and plenty of light coming in from the double-glazed windows. A place to relax, watch some TV, or even catch up with work, but also where the group can spend some quality time together when the outside is too warm or a little rainy. Are you feeling a little sleepy but don't want to go to bed? These sofas offer the ideal spot to catch some Zs during siesta time.

Dining Room / Kitchen
This open space features a classical stone arch (mind your head!). On one side, a glass dining table can accommodate 6-8 diners who will enjoy the gentle breeze from the air conditioning. The kitchen is equipped with a powerful oven, a ceramic stove, a large fridge, a washing machine, and a dishwasher, while a microwave oven, a Nespresso coffee machine, and a sandwich maker are at your disposal. 
Outside

Grab your coffee and step outside. A shallow pool (1.20 m) is the ideal playground for grownups and an easy way to cool down. Use the water jets, sunbathe next to the water, relax in the shade of the trees, use the outdoors showers or cool off under the shadow of the large parasols in the outside seating area. There is an option for everyone! A BBQ is also available and only two steps from the large table that can seat 6-8 people. After the sun sets, enjoy the relaxing underwater lights of the pool and the stars.
