the house is partly off-grid, powered entirely by solar energy Surrounded by olive groves, fruit trees, vegetable gardens, and friendly chickens and geese, we’re happy to share fresh eggs and produce with our guests. Each of the four bedrooms opens onto its own private deck, embraced by olive and pomegranate trees and vibrant flowers.
the home features four bedrooms (sleeps 8- 10 people), four bathrooms, a generous living area, and plenty of indoor and outdoor space to relax A high-quality water filter means there’s no need to buy bottled water.
perched on the foothills of mount juchtas, the views are absolutely breathtaking—stretching across two mountain ranges, the entire bay of heraklion, and giving you both sunrise and sunset each day

this is more than a stay—it’s a way to deeply connect with the rhythm of local life Active travel lets you discover hidden corners, take in the subtle beauty of the land, and enjoy the satisfaction of moving at your own pace—something you simply can’t do behind the wheel of a car or from a tour bus.
we’re located near a protected nature reserve, offering beautiful hiking trails right from the front door You might spot wild birds, hares, or even a Cretan hedgehog. The landscape is rich with seasonal wildflowers, herbs, and vegetables.
history lovers will enjoy being just moments from the ancient minoan cemetery of fourni, and only five minutes by car from the world-famous site of knossos
you may need a car, as the road up from the village is short but steep—part of the local charm (keep an eye out for sheep grazing along the way) Spend your days exploring and return in the evening to unwind with wine and cheese as the sun sets over the hills.
a truly unforgettable experience of cretan life, nature, and history.
