Anopolis Heraklion: Villa Fabrica - the old olives' press.

"Villa Fabrica is located in the traditional village of Anopolis,just 15 minutes from Heraklion airport and 5 minutes from the sandy Kokkini Hani beaches. Is a 100-year-old stone building, originally used as an olive factory, carefully restored into a traditional rustic style two-storey house suitable for 2-6 persons. It is quietly located in the village of Anopolis about 100 m from the village square. In the village one finds several cafenions, tavernas and a minimarket. Further shops, supermarkets,bars, ATM, can be found in Kokkini Hani some 3 km away,with a selection of local beaches. The gate opens into a small yard from where one enters the house. On the ground floor is a spacious and comfortable furnished living room and dining room with wooden ceiling, TV,stone built fireplace, separate WC with washing machine. Next to it is a cosy terrace full of flowerpots and surrounded by a small garden,a BBQ and a stone oven.The perfect place to unwind, after a long day's journey. The open plan fully equipped kitchen with dining room too is separated from the living room by a stone archway. From the living room a spiral staircase leads to the first floor into the bedroom with 2 single beds. A large veranda facing the Dikti Mountains and the Monastery of Agios Ioannis can offer an amazing view over the countryside. Next to it there is a separate bedroom with double bed, a bathroom en suite with bath/WC and 2 balconies. A nice place to relax and take part in village life.It offers the unique combination of peace anong with modern comforts and easy access to city life."

Quiet village life
Nice rustic experience with all the modern conveniences. The village and everyone in it were super pleasant and welcomed us in with open arms. The house (old olive mill) was very impressive and has many balconies and decks to sit and relax. I recommend if you want to stay out of the hustle of the city have a quiet time then this is the place.

Hilltop Hideaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It has a beautiful view of the countryside, way up high on the mountain top and it overlooks a lovely monastery. We loved that it had two bathrooms and two bedrooms. This is a very roomy home. I could have spent a month here enjoying the solitude as we love being in small mountain villages. The owner has thought of everything. We felt right at home.

exquisite
This beautiful, welcoming little home was like living inside a gracious piece of living art. It has been painstakingly renovated as a labor of love by its owners, and everywhere you look, both inside and outside, is peace, order, beauty, and delight. We had everything we needed for our comfort and ease in this well-equipped house, including a beautifully working woodstove and an elegant bathtub. And of course I was not disappointed by the location: incredibly close to everything, including the airport, Heraklion, and all the major tourist sites, while serenely sequestered in a small hill village.

Beautiful refurbished olive press factory in picturesque setting
We enjoyed our brief stay at Villa Fabrica during our brief visit to Crete. The property is very rustic and beautiful and worked well for our family of five (including three teens). Manolis set up a third bed in the second bedroom, so everyone had a spot to sleep at night, and the A/C units worked well - important in July in Greece! Our ferry got in a bit late, so it was late and getting dark by the time we arrived and the local taverna was closed that day (and market has very limited food options), so we drove to a restaurant Manolis recommended about 12 minutes away and had the most amazing meal. We also ate at the local taverna in the village square our last night, and that was also wonderful -highly recommend both! The master bedroom was comfortable, but be aware that there aren’t shutters so unless you bring an eye cover, the sun will wake you quite early. And there are barking dogs in the neighborhood - so ear plugs are also a good idea if you are a light sleeper. We had just come from Oia in Santorini, so this was a very sharp contrast to the tourist packed streets. Here, I think we were about the only tourists amongst the locals and had a chance to glimpse what life would be like in a small Greek village. It is a very small village and there are a number of boarded up properties on the way to the Fabrica, but we saw that throughout Greece - and hopefully over time, those will also be mended. Overall, we had a very nice stay here and really appreciated how responsive and helpful Manolis was, providing recommendations and answering questions. Highly recommend if you are looking for a more rural, peaceful, authentic Greek experience.
