Located on the edge of the peaceful village of Lagolio, the villa's irresistible charm is immediately apparent. It's hard not to appreciate the exceptional environment in which it's nestled, at the foot of the mountain and just a stone's throw from the Libyan Sea. From each of the surrounding terraces, Mother Nature dons a different costume. It's hard not to appreciate the tranquility, serenity and intimacy of the setting, and the ambient light and microclimate that make the villa addictive all day, all year round. Restored in 2007, the villa presents itself both in its traditional Cretan attire and adorned with modern touches that have been harmoniously integrated. Environmentally friendly, the search for improvements to reduce our carbon footprint as Globe-Trotters makes it simply delicious. To be enjoyed without moderation.

In the villa, you can cocoon and recharge your batteries for the duration of your stay, and just escape to enjoy the delicious dishes of the traditional taverna, less than two minutes away on foot. But you can also visit the places that can be seen from the villa: the archaeological site of Phaistos, the sea, Mount Psiloritis, all on foot or by bike. You can also explore the fantastic gorges and beach of Agio Farago after a stop at the Odigitrias monastery, or take a walk in Matala in the footsteps of Bob Dylan. You'll meet more goats and sheep than bipeds in all these places of interest. Adventurers can go as far as Preveli or the Aradena Gorge, or as far as the heavenly Balos Lagoon. Or go kite-surfing, scuba-diving or paragliding, not forgetting that Crete is a paradise for lovers of wildlife and local gastronomy.
