About the host
Hosted by Argyris Skordilis
We are a local Cretan family who has been hosting guests for over a decade. We love sharing the beauty of our island, its culture, and warm hospitality. Hosting is more than a job — it’s a way to connect with people from around the world and help them create lasting memories. We personally take care of each villa and are always available to assist with anything guests might need during their stay.
Why they chose this property
We chose to restore and host in the traditional village of Asteri because it combines authenticity, calmness, and convenience. The village is surrounded by olive groves and local life, yet just 5 minutes from the beach and only 15 minutes from the city of Rethymno. Within walking distance, guests can find a mini market, bakery, pharmacy, and even traditional tavernas offering local flavors. Asteri is ideal for slow, meaningful vacations close to culture and nature.
What makes this property unique
Villa Asteri stands out for its rich personal history and craftsmanship. Once the owner's family home and carpentry workshop, it now blends mid-century heritage with modern comforts. Handcrafted furniture from the 1950s, original tools on display, and authentic details tell a story in every room. Its layout is perfect for families or group stays, while the private pool, shaded BBQ area, and peaceful garden offer total relaxation. Nearby sister villas (Citrus & Myrrini) make it ideal for extended families or small wedding groups of up to 20 guests.
