Our Story
After many years in Vienna and a long career in tourism and gastronomy, I Lefteris Dermitzakis, fulfilled a lifelong dream — to create a special place that reflects the beauty, authenticity, and spirit of my homeland.
On a hillside overlooking my mother’s village, surrounded by nature and the quiet energy of ancient times, this dream took form.
The villa was designed with openness and light in mind — large windows, natural materials, and flowing spaces that let the energy of the landscape move freely. Every corner tells a story: of tranquility, inspiration, and the joy of life.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is simple yet profound — to offer more than a stay.
We invite our guests to reconnect with nature, history, and themselves. This is a place to slow down, to breathe deeply, and to feel the rhythm of Cretan life. Every detail — from the architecture to the hospitality — is created to inspire harmony and belonging.
Here, you won’t just find a villa; you’ll find a home — one that welcomes you with warmth, sincerity, and care.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is built upon authenticity, harmony, and heartfelt hospitality.
We believe true luxury is found in simplicity — in honest connections, natural beauty, and meaningful moments. Guided by respect for nature and tradition, we aim to preserve the spirit of the land while offering a contemporary, comfortable retreat.
Every gesture and every detail reflect our desire to create balance — between past and present, comfort and authenticity, guest and host.
For us, hospitality is not a service. It’s a way of life — genuine, personal, and full of heart.
testimonials
For those who might be hesitating, like I was, because the photos on Booking.com look “too good to be true,” just go ahead and book this villa. The photos are exactly what you’ll get in reality—absolutely breathtaking views!
We loved everything about this property. Spectacular views, incredible horizon pool, very comfortable rooms with great quality bedding. A very luxurious space away from the business of town but still close to everything
Het huis, het zwembad en het uitzicht. Het heeft echt een wow effect. Het contact met de eigenaar verliep heel erg soepel. Hij nam regelmatig uit zichzelf contact op, gaf goede/leuke tips en reageerde erg snel op onze berichten.
