Making this beautiful house was for me a dream that had been resting in the depths of my heart for years… I built it with a lot of love and passion and always had in mind my roots, the beautiful memories of our family moments, as I grew up in this picturesque village surrounded by the nature, the customs, and traditions of the Cretan land. This house was originally built in 1930. A few years ago, I decided to rebuild it and leave only some traditional touches, add modern technological conveniences, while preserving the aesthetic elements of the traditional structure. When the construction was completed, we used it as a country house, as an escape from the city. We were enchanted by the tranquility and peace it exuded, far away from the fast pace of the city. Countless nights, my nieces along with my daughter would lie on the comfortable terrace observing the myriad stars in the boundless sky! They especially liked staying in the attic with the six beds, their own bathroom, and the side view towards the mountain. These moments and these authentic feelings, I wanted to share with you, the people who desire to relax, unwind, and enjoy the combination of sea, green, and mountain—a fusion of companionship, family, nature, and tradition, just as generously bestowed upon us by Mother Nature!
