About this property

Amazing Sea & Mountain Views- Lovely Pool- Best Sunsets-Tranquil Natural Beauty

Enjoy your time in Crete in this newly renovated, two-story suite with a cozy sitting room incorporating a well-equipped kitchenette and a full bathroom with walk-in shower on the main level. Upstairs you’ll find a large bedroom- reached by a spiral staircase. Perfect for 2 adults. The simple style allows the views to take center stage. Fully-air-conditioned with newly updated Wi-Fi connection.

This charming 500 sq. ft. unit enjoys a private patio to enjoy your coffee or relax with a book. Enjoy a unique view of the surrounding countryside from the upstairs bedroom or terrace below. A lovely pool is the centerpiece of the estate, where you can enjoy the beautiful views from the large terrace.

You enter the property by passing a long driveway surrounded by olive trees on both sides, each tree carefully tended to in order to produce the finest extra virgin olive oil each winter.

At the base of the driveway, you will find a small chapel that my dad proudly built to honor his mother and father. It was a collaboration of all his siblings- from the painting of the icons to the finishing touch of hanging the bell atop the chapel.

Alongside the chapel, there is a traditional wood-burning oven (fourno in Greek) that is heated with olive wood from the pruned trees. Today this oven is used more for special occasions with slow roasts than for the traditional baking of bread. The flavor of the food is like no other! A special dinner using this oven can be arranged upon request.

As you explore the surrounding landscape, you will find approximately 17 different fruit trees planted around the property, much to Yiannis’ pride- apricot, peach and pear trees- to name a few!

The inviting pool is centrally located with a surrounding terrace that provides stunning views of the sea, mountains and olive groves. Soak up the Mediterranean sun on the loungers dotting the terrace, or head to the shaded area next to the pool where you can enjoy a refreshing drink or read a book. Relax on the hammock tucked in the corner of the terrace and let the cicadas lull you to sleep, or explore the extensive grounds beneath the pool and find a peaceful shaded bench to enjoy the views of the sea or countryside. At day's end, watch the magnificent sunset while the swallows swoop down over the pool.

About the host

Hosted by Rose M.

Host profile image
I'm a Greek-American Olive oil guru and proprietor (along with my father) of this countryside estate in Chania, Crete.

My parents, Yiannis and Mary, both originally from Chania, Crete (but lived most of their lives raising me and my younger brother, in Connecticut, USA), decided to buy a plot of land near the village of Xamoudochori to build their ideal retirement home back in 1990. Their architect was so enthusiastic about the potential of the landscape that he suggested they create a holiday lodge where others can share their enchantment with the beauty and tranquility of the site. That is exactly what ensued, and “Yiannis’ Retreat” was open for business several years later. Yiannis secretly hoped that his children would one day fall in love with his beloved Crete and join in on the family business. Now, after welcoming couples to his “home” for over 20 years, the baton has been passed to me, with great pleasure!

We look forward to meeting you.

Rose, Yiannis, and family

Why they chose this property

Look no further for the perfect base for exploring Crete. Xamoudochori (pronounced “ksa-mou-tho-hori”) is located in northwestern Crete, about 40 minutes drive from the Chania International Airport, accessed through the local road network and the National Road.

The location allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of the busy coastline, yet is conveniently situated just a stone’s throw from the unspoiled beaches of northwestern Crete and the picturesque harbor of Chania, Crete’s second-largest city.

A five-minute amble brings you to picturesque Xamoudochori village with its domed church of St. Ioannis Chrisostomos, whitewashed farmhouses, and the local kafenion (coffee shop), a Greek institution where the locals gather to discuss farming and politics over coffee, a glass of raki, or a game of tavli (backgammon).

Less than two miles below Xamoudochori is the coastal village of Maleme, fringed by an unspoiled beach of pebbles and sand which never gets too crowded. There is also a good selection of tavernas along the seashore to enjoy a traditional Greek meal as well as a supermarket if you need to pick up any snacks or drinks.

The historical Venetia town of Chania is less than 13 miles from us, approximately a 30-minute drive,

The retreat is the perfect base for planning daily excursions, such as private or group sailing trips, horseback riding, walking tours, wine tastings and cooking classes, to name a few. We are always happy to recommend a favorite taverna, share local cultural events, and can even prepare an unforgettable meal for you that can be enjoyed al fresco at the resort while watching the incredible sunset.

We have the local know-how to be your resource for customizing your trip based on your interests and the endless activities Crete has to offer, especially if you want to venture off the beaten path!

What makes this property unique

The estate is a sanctuary of serenity, a two-acre compound nestled in the beautiful countryside, surrounded by olive groves with breathtaking views to the sea below and the mountains above. Once you experience the tranquility of the property, the lush landscaping, along with the mesmerizing sunsets, you will never want to leave the compound. It will make your trip to Crete an unforgettable experience in a one-of=a-kind accommodation.
