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.
