Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Elegant interiors, soft textures and salvaged antiques decorate this characterful home. Snuggled in a peaceful cobbled courtyard the property belongs to the so-called vaulted houses, a building type that is widespread in Crete.

The twin bedroom sits on the ground floor with a window flaunting views across the cobbled courtyard filled with green and pool terrace. Αcross the bedroom sits a family bathroom with a shower. The former stable has been skillfully incorporated in the main building. This gave the unique opportunity to create a mezzanine double bedroom while the space under it, is occupied by an ensuite bathroom with shower and a private wardrobe.

Outside
Enclosed by garden, the verdant setting of Muazzo Creta Stone House is an invitation to immerse yourself in nature. The walled courtyard plays host to a mix of chalky hues and soft planting - a dream arena for sunshine reclining. This sophisticated summerhouse is the perfect spot for those who wish to benefit from its unique location, providing easy access to amenities. Enjoy the cretan sun all day long while sunbathing on the terrace. Dip in the pool with the built-in hydromassage nozzle embedded in one part of the pool and refreshen or enjoy al fresco dining while practicing your grill skills at the BBQ facilities.

For Relaxation
After a day spent sightseeing, a tranquil haven awaits on return to Muazzo Creta Stone House. Pull the cork on a bottle of wine and cook up a hearty supper to enjoy beneath the starry sky. Muazzo Creta Stone House is a haven for relaxation and refreshment .

Amazing home, gracious host
My husband, our two small dogs, and I had an amazing stay. The home is perfectly appointed and close to Rethymno but a world away in terms of peace and quiet. The pool is beautifully maintained and was great for lazy days and night swims. The garden was perfect for our fur babies to stretch their legs. The host/owner of the villa was delightful. She gave us wonderful recommendations for places to visit, shop, and eat. She even called ahead to ensure we had the best seats in the house! Muazza Creta will always hold a special place in our hearts. We will be back!

The perfect home away from home
This house in Pigi is absolutely beautiful and equipped with everything that you need. We loved the wonderful garden surrounding the house and everything that you need is only a short walk away. We can recommend the Zorbas tavern. Communication with our host Maria was very good and we will definitely be back.

Peaceful quality
We had a lovely week at the Muazzo Creta stone house. The villa is a luxury conversion of a period cottage with a unique layout and high quality finish. A really peaceful private and relaxing location yet only a few metres from the village shops and tavernas. Maria was so lovely and welcoming and we could not have asked for anything more (except perhaps for another week!). We'd highly recommend and hope we can return some time. Many thanks.
