Location
Situated 12 kms southwest of the city of Heraklion and barely one km outside the traditional Cretan village of Tylissos, motivated by imaginative zest and striving to maintain our respect towards its natural surroundings, we built a four star, luxurious resort.
The estate spreads over 50 acres, far from urban noise and overly crowded tourist designations. It lies in the midst of thick greenery, overwhelmed by various kinds of trees including olive groves, orange groves, chestnut trees and vines all the while partaking in the rough, steep beauty of Goniano Canyon. The sea, just a stones throw away, flavours the vertical cliffs, the enchanting view and the constant change of scenery with its salty breeze thus creating a pure and typical Cretian image.
About the Villa
The day may begin with a rich breakfast in the estates traditional coffee house alongside the rising sun. Our guests can let loose in the shade under the trees reading a book or sampling traditional meze and raki in the Cretan tavern which we lovingly built or taking a bicycle into the river trail and the surrounding mountains making their way from the cave of the Holy Fire to the village of Tylissos with its rich archaeological findings and the unparalleled local hospitality. Upon returning to the estate, the invinting B.B.Q, the fully equipped fitness room, relaxing turkish baths and the pool are at their disposal.
We would recommend that you let the sunset catch up with you at your private veranda, while you allow yourself to be distracted by the sound of flowing water and the sight of nature, wild and blooming.
As for those days when you cannot avoid the use of a car, things could not be simpler: the most prominent destinations, such as the city of Heraklion, the airport, the harbour, Knossos, organized beaches and the tourist resorts of Ammoudara and Agia Pelagia are no more than ten or 20 minutes away. After all, the highway that connects the biggest Cretian cities to each other lies but five kms from the estate.
The villa is comprised of three levels: the first level hosts a playroom, an office, a jacuzzi and a bathroom, the second level hosts a sitting room, a fire place, a kitchen and a bathroom and on the third level the traditional Cretan attic hosts the master bedroom. The villas can accommodate six adults and two children on extra beds or baby cot.
