About this property

ArchonVilla - Escape to Tranquility in Affordable Luxury

  • IF YOU DREAM of a peaceful hideaway far from the noise and crowds, where you can truly recharge, Villa Archon awaits you. Tucked away in a charming, safe, and traditional settlement, just 12 km from Paleochora, you’ll be perfectly placed to explore 18 km of stunning beaches—each with its own unique beauty, ready to match your mood.
    Whether you're seeking solitude, nature or a base to explore southwest Crete, ArchonVilla delivers the calm you crave with easy access to unforgettable experiences.

    Villa Archon – Your Cretan Mountain & Sea Escape:
    Perched at 550 meters above sea level, Villa Archon offers a rare blend of refreshing mountain breeze, inspiring views of the White Mountains, and the shimmering blue of the Libyan Sea—wrapped in warm, authentic Cretan hospitality.

    Space & Flexibility for Every Stay:
    Villa Archon is an architectural gem designed as two independent apartments that can easily transform into one spacious home. This flexibility makes it ideal for:
    • One or two families seeking both togetherness and privacy
    • Small groups of friends planning an unforgettable retreat
    • Couples wanting space, peace, and romance
    Each apartment has its own private entrance, with a connecting internal staircase and lockable door for ultimate privacy.

    YOUR Main Upper-Level Apartment (150 sqm)
    For groups of up to four guests, we offer the main apartment—more than enough space for comfort and style. You’ll have exclusive access to all outdoor courtyards, gardens, and terraces of the villa; the lower apartment remains closed and is never rented to others during your stay.
    • Spacious 50 sqm living & dining room with vaulted ceiling and a cozy traditional attic (office or extra bedroom)
    • Fully equipped separate kitchen on a slightly lower split level
    • Two air-conditioned bedrooms and two private bathrooms
    • Master bedroom with king-size stone-built bed, balcony, and sweeping mountain–sea views
    • Second bedroom with two traditional iron beds and direct access to a peaceful yard
    • Baby cot available free of charge upon request
    • Furnished panoramic veranda — perfect for family lunches or romantic sunset dinners

    LOWER Apartment for Larger Groups:
    FOR 5+ guests, we open the charming lower-level apartment:
    • Cozy living room & kitchen
    • Master bedroom with king-size bed
    • Second bedroom (air-conditioned) with two industrial-style iron beds and yard access
    • Country-style bathroom with shower

    FAMILY- & COUPLE-FRIENDLY Comfort:
    Our enclosed courtyards and gardens offer safe play areas for children and tranquil corners for adults.
    • Baby essentials: safety gates, high chair, cot, pram (on request, free of charge)
    • Toys for all ages so the grown-ups can truly unwind
    • Patios on all four sides — choose sun or shade all day
    • Almost constant fresh breeze bringing the scent of Cretan herbs right to your table

    EXTRA Touches to Make You Feel at Home:
    Upon arrival, you’ll find a welcome basket with tea, coffee, fresh bread, butter, marmalade, eggs, milk, juice, seasonal fruit, mineral water, and our own Cretan olive oil — just a taste of the island’s bounty.

    Villa Archon is more than a place to stay — it’s a place to breathe deeply, live slowly, and create memories that last. Whether you’re here for beach adventures, hiking in wild landscapes, or simply to enjoy the serenity of Cretan country life, this is where your perfect holiday begins.
