Two 18th century traditional stone houses, only recently (2016) lovingly converted into modern private pool villas, in a secluded area with much privacy

These two fully detached holiday villas lie on the hillside of the picturesque village of Achlades, affording magnificent views of the surrounding olive groves and vineyards. They are in a secluded area, approximately 25 km east of Rethymno town.

The villas offer an ideal destination-choice for a memorable, relaxing vacation in the Cretan countryside, just 6 km and 10 km away respectively from the lovely sandy beaches of Panormo and Bali.

The traditional residences of the mid 18th century have only recently been fully renovated in 2016. They are in complete harmony with the environment, thanks to the careful restoration which turned them in two luxurious, fully equipped villas, unique for long breaks on the beautiful island of Crete.

The local materials that were used for the remodelling of the villas include untreated stones, tiles of the interwar era, cypress trunks and handmade bricks and an old trough, adhering to the traditional architecture and respecting the residence’s history. The traditional elements and their authentic character were preserved and highlighted throughout the villas: some exquisite pieces of furniture carefully restored, wall arches, wooden floors and ceilings, creating unique ambient spaces of high aesthetics.

    “We really appreciated the careful and tasteful design of this stone villa, its lovely interior decoration and state-of-the art amenities, the generous and luxurious garden and pool area and the gorgeous view from the terrace.
    Access to the surroundings, the beaches and museums and villages and procurement of tasty provisions was made easy through the useful and reliable hints of our friendly hosts.
    We were a 3-generation family and everyone of us enjoyed and appreciated staying at ERONDAS”

    “Unsere Gastgeber waren äußerst herzlich, hilfsbereit und überaus gastfreundlich. Bereits bei der Ankunft wurden wir mit leckeren Köstlichkeiten und selbst hergestellten Leckereien aus der Region überrascht. Das ganze Haus wurde uns detailliert erklärt, inklusive der interessanten Geschichte hinter jedem Detail. Sowieso ist die Villa mit viel Herz, Esprit und Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Martha und ihre Söhne haben alles dafür getan, uns den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Es gibt sogar einen kleinen Gemüsegarten, aus dem wir Gurken und Tomaten selbst ernten konnten. Die Lage ist traumhaft und die Aussicht beim Frühstück oder Abendessen sensationell. Meist geht auch ein leichter Wind und macht den Aufenthalt auf der Terrasse sehr angenehm. Zur besseren Mobilität sollte man jedoch über ein Mietauto verfügen - bis zum nächsten Ort sind es nur 5 Minuten und bis zum Strand nur 10 Minuten. Wir waren mit der ganzen Familie da, 4 Erwachsene, 1 Jugendlicher und 1 Kind - durch die geräumige Aufteilung hatten wir ausreichend Platz. Wir kommen gerne wieder!”

    “Wir waren mit unseren beiden Söhnen (5 und 3) und den Großeltern (insgesamt 8 Personen) für 10 Tage in der Villa. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und fühlten uns von Anfang an sehr wohl.
    Die Ausstattung der Villa erfüllt die höchsten Standards (Spülmanschine, Kaffeemaschine, Fernseher in jedem Schlafzimmer, PS 4, Stereoanlage, Grill, Sandkasten und natürlich den Pool uvm.).
    Lage: Die Villa liegt zwischen Heraklion (ca. 65 Km) und Rethymno (ca. 25 Km). Man genießt die Ruhe und die wunderschlönen Sonnenuntergänge. Ein Mietwagen ist zwar ein Muss, aber wenn man das wahre Kreta erleben möchte, sind die schönsten Strände und Sehenswürdigkeiten mit Halbtagesausfügen sehr gut erreichbar. Man hat sofort das Gefühl in Kreta zu sein und nicht in einer überladenen Hotelanlage.
    Zustand und Sauberkeiit: Die Villa ist neu und in perfektem und makellos sauberem Zustand. Die Elemente der Ruine aus dem späten 19. Jahrhundert sind kunstvoll eingebaut und die Details im Bau sind sehr beeindruckend.
    Preisleistungsverhältnis: Auf jeden Fall weiterzuempfehlen. Es war schon unser dritter Kreta-Besuch, aber noch nie hatten wir das Gefühl richtig auf der Insel angekommen zu sein wie dieses Mal. Die Villa vermittelt einem Tradition und Luxus und man kehrt nach 10 Tagen total entspannt nach Hause.”
