Located in Argyroupoli, southwest of Rethymno, this 200-year-old stone villa has been fully restored and blends tradition with refinement.
The property consists of a main house and a guest house. The main house features a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area, a cosy living room, four spacious bedrooms, and three elegantly designed bathrooms. Every corner reflects the essence of both tradition and modernity. From every terrace and balcony, you can enjoy breathtaking views of Argyroupoli's natural beauty, the olive groves and the blue horizon.
The main house and guest house are separated by a "Portego"—a traditional entrance hall dating back to ancient Venetian architecture. It functions as a reception area with a distinctive engraved design at its centre, featuring an open-plan layout that combines the kitchen, dining, and living areas. A cosy bedroom, complemented by a stylish bathroom, completes the guest house. The veranda invites you to unwind by the pool and take in the tranquil mountain surroundings.
