About this property

Lily's Cottage, secluded, Sea View Villa with private pool and amazing Garden

Lily's Cottage has been in the Rental market for 9 year. Our guests are mostly repeaters who have loved this cozy, comfortable farmhouse which belong to our Family for many many years. Initially there was nothing but an Olive Grove which kindly, had been offered its excellent oil to the family. Later on, a very simple, based, farm house was build. It was there, where the whole Family used to gather , in order to celebrate Christhmas, Easter, or just to have fun.
In 2016, I (Lily) made a decision which changed my whole life. I resigned from the Bank I was working for 24 years and I fully renovated the farmhouse. I was feeling insecure as i had to invest all my money into this project but finally it hasn't let me down.
Lily's Cottage is not just a farmhouse or a villa. It has its own soul and energy which our guests are able to feel the very first moment they enter the green, iron-made gate and walk the passing which leads to the house.
Ancient Olive trees, loquat trees, apricot trees along with amazing flowers combine a fantastic scenery which attract our guests to stay at the outside area even in Winters.
Great consideration has given to the mattresses, pillows and linen which are of the best quality.
Last but, definitely, not least is the Location of the property which was one of the main reason I made my decision to convert our farmhouse to a Cottage-to-rent. Just 7 kl of the Town of Rethymnon (6-7 min drive ), 1 kl from the nearest Sandy beach and walking distance to tavernas, super markets, cafes...
The noumerous of the excellent reviews prove the correctness of this decision.

About the host

Hosted by Lily Chaliki

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Rethymno, a picturesque town on the north coast of Crete. At Athens University I studied ancient Greek philosophy, a fascinating subject, but which I never used in my professional life. I was employed by a leading Greek bank for twenty four years, the last six as a branch manager.
In 2016, i made the decision to leave my career as a Bank employee. It was a decision that changed my whole life. I renovated the ruined farmhouse of my Family and i begun to work in Tourism. This job was meant to be a blessing for me.
In these 10 years i've been involved in tourism, l have met people from a variety of countries and cultures. I keep in touch with many of them while with some i keep a close friendship.
As I am born and raised in the Island of Crete, i am able to give my guests all the needed recommedation for wonderful and umforgettable holidays.

I myself love travelling abroad. I have often been to many countries. Travelling is enormously educational, as it gives you the opportunity to get to know the tradition and cuisines of different countries, as well as visiting important museums and art galleries.
I also enjoy cooking. I invariably use organic products when cooking for my family.
I am a great admirer of the Greek poet Cavafy! My favourite poems are The City and the First Step!
Animals are a great weakness of mine. I have a 13-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Romeo, because of whom I became a vegetarian.
I speak English very well.

Why they chose this property

I didn't choose this area. In fact the area has chosen me. The Olive Grove where the Cottage is located, belonged to my ancestors for many many years.
It's an ideal location as it offers privacy and seclusion while in walking distance one can find tavernas, cafes, shops, supermarkets etc..
The Town of Rethymnon (30.000 permanent inhabitants) is just 7 kilometers away (8 min drive) and the closest Sandy Beach is just 1 kl away (2-3 min drive).
In addition the south Coast of the Island with its amazing beaches and the crystal clear waters is only 40 min drive.

What makes this property unique

Well, that's an easy question. Lily's Cottage (as well as Lily's villa Lemonia, my brand new villa) are unique because they are not just luxury Rental homes. They enclose my soul and my love. One can feel it the moment he enters the green, iron-made, gate.
Every single thing in the Cottage is chosen with much caring.
I won't say more.
I will be there to welcome you...
