Set in the serene countryside of Apokoronas, surrounded by olive groves and mountain views, this historic stone villa beautifully combines heritage, authenticity, and comfort.
Built in 1913, this home preserves the charm of a bygone era — a place where history and craftsmanship meet the peaceful rhythm of Cretan village life.
The villa has a total area of 81.1 sqm, featuring 41.5 sqm on the lower level with kitchen, living, and dining areas, and 39.7 sqm on the upper level with one bedroom and one bathroom. The ground floor was originally used as a barn and stable, while the first floor once served as a weaving room and later as a village elementary school, carrying a unique sense of local tradition and storytelling.
The living and dining area features an energy-efficient fireplace, air conditioning, satellite TV, and DVD/CD players, while the kitchen is fully equipped with all modern amenities. A staircase leads to the ground level, where the bedroom is located — two of its walls made of natural rock embedded in the soil, creating a warm and earthy atmosphere.
The villa also includes an independent courtyard of 10 sqm, comfortably furnished ideal for al fresco dining or relaxation.
A wooden staircase connects to the upper level, where a double bedroom with wooden floors and ceilings, A/C, and a shower bathroom creates a cozy retreat. From here, a door opens to a furnished balcony offering beautiful views over the mountains, olive groves, and meadows.
This villa forms part of a traditional resort complex on a 869.91 sqm plot with a total built area of 520.90 sqm, consisting of one single-storey building, four two-storey buildings, one three-storey building, two storage areas, a covered 50 sqm barbecue area, and a heated swimming pool of approximately 50 sqm.
Together, these elements create a unified complex of five independent maisonettes (each in its own building) and a mini-market, surrounded by peaceful gardens and authentic Cretan architecture.
Decorated with handcrafted wooden furniture, antique pieces, and folk art, this villa exudes warmth and soul — a perfect representation of the Cretan lifestyle, rooted in simplicity, culture, and connection with nature.
Located just a short drive from the beaches of Almyrida and Kalyves, and within easy reach of Chania city and the international airport, the property combines rural beauty with accessibility.
Whether envisioned as a boutique hospitality villa, a holiday retreat, or a private traditional home, it offers a rare chance to own a true historical residence in Crete.
