About this property

ArchonVilla - Escape to Tranquility in Affordable Luxury

If you are looking for a quiet and spacious place away from the noise and crowd of a town you have found the right place. Villa Archon located in a very small and safe traditional settlement just 12 km away from Paleochora, a place with 18 Km of beaches of every kind and for every taste.

Villa Archon is an imposing design building that consists of two independent living units but also functions as a single residence. It is built on a sloping level which results in two independent ground floor apartments with two main entrances connected by an internal staircase.The two different sections of the house are separated from each other by an internal door that can be locked.
It is ideally designed to accommodate one or even two families or a small group with the appropriate privacy.
Villa Archon situated in an altitude of 550 meters that ensures a pleasant chill during the never-ending summer sun while captures magnificent mountain views as far the Libyan Sea.

Due to the location "Archon" can be used as a focal point for exploring the wild beauties and the untouched beaches of the southwest, or as a country retreat to loosen yourselves in the tranquillity and discreet luxury of the house.

In order to reduce your cost for reservations of up to 4 people we offer only the main apartment on the upper level of the villa which is 150sqm. and we believe it is more than enough. In this option all the exterior courtyards, gardens, furniture of the lower and upper levels of the villa will be at your disposal but you will not only have access to the interior of the lower level apartment. In this option we assure you that respecting your privacy the lower apartment will remain closed and will not be rented to anyone else during your stay.

The Main -upper level- apartment can comfortably accommodate a family of four and even more with extra beds.

It is consisted of a 50sqm living and dining room with a traditional attic which can be used as an office or as an extra bedroom.

A fully equipped kitchen area is separated and situated at a slightly lower level.

At the same part of the villa there are two air-conditioned bedrooms and two well designed private bathrooms.

The master bedroom has a king size stone-build bed and a balcony with an amazing view while the second bedroom has two comfortable traditional iron beds and a French door which leads directly to a peaceful yard. A baby cot can easily be placed in the master bedroom free of charge upon request.

The huge veranda beside the living room is furnished and has an unhindered view that is offered for a romantic dinner or lunch.

For reservations for more than 4-5 people we additionally provide you the apartment of the lower level of the villa.

The Lower level apartment has also a well equipped kitchen with a small living room.

The Master bedroom contains a King size bed.

The second bedroom is air-conditioned and has two comfortable industrial style iron beds and a French door which leads directly to a peaceful furnished yard.

The bathroom is decorated in a country style and has shower.

In our fenced court yards, verandas and balconies your Kids will have a break to get a chance to run, climb or jump while the adults can be recompensed by the unique smell of the Cretan nature as the local herbs and flowers will wake up all your senses.
With patios on all 4 sides you can seek sun or shade. The almost constant fresh breeze gives a relief from the endless summer sun.

For our little friends with no charge but on request we can provide safety doors and nets where necessary, baby cot, high chair are even a pram and of course a lot of toys for all ages so as the grown-ups to be more relaxed and careless.

A welcome pack provided at no charge at the arrival including tea, coffee, sugar, toast bread, butter, marmalade, eggs, milk, juices, fruits, mineral water and of course olive oil.

Archon Villa is situated 12 km away from some of the best coastlines of Crete, in Paleochora village which also called as -The Libyan Bride- due to its natural beauties. An 18km coast line is there to explore it.

The house is approved by the Greek National Tourism Authority with the EOT license number 1042K91002947101

Paradise!
Hello, our stay at Prodromi began with a more than friendly welcome from Magna, the owner. She cares about the well-being of her tenants. The house is even more impressive than in the photos and when we see it from the top of the road, we say to ourselves that we made the right choice. The exterior layout invites us to enjoy the calm of this tiny hamlet. A mini-paradise... no... PARADISE!

Eine Woche im Paradies 😃
Manya ist eine wundervolle Gastgeberin und hat für Ihre Gäste ein kleines Paradies geschaffen! In der absoluten Ruhe und Stille eines Bergdorfes über Paleochora bieten sich für alle alle Möglichkeiten: Ausruhen und entspannen am Pool oder auf der Terrasse, Baden im tiefblauen Mittelmeer in wunderschönen Buchten, Wandern in wunderschönen Schluchten, schlendern, essen oder einkaufen im belebten und fröhlichen Paleochora… Das Haus ist super eingerichtet und für alles gut ausgestattet: die Küche ist für alle Kochideen gut ausgerüstet. Vielen Dank, Manya!!!!!

Wunderbar im Frühling
Wir waren Ende April bei herrlichem Sonnenwetter in Prodomi und haben unseren Aufenthalt dort sehr genossen. Das Haus ist sehr schön und geräumig und bietet alle Annehmlichkeiten. Manya ist eine fantastische Gastgeberin, die sich hingebungsvoll um uns gekümmert hat. Eindrucksvoll ist wirklich die Stille und Ruhe in dem kleinen Ort und der Sternenhimmel.

The best mistake I have ever made!
I didn't realize there were two villages called 'Maza' in Crete - Villa Archon is near the wrong Maza! But what a wonderful mistake to have made. The villa is beautiful and supremely comfortable. Set amongst the hills, I awoke every morning to the sun creeping down the mountains and the sound of the sheep bells. Every view is stunning - of a landscape that hasn't changed for over 50 years. The stone work and landscaping around the villa provide a never ending series of beautiful places to sit and absorb your surroundings. Honestly, there cannot be another host like Manya. She greeted us at 1.30 am with home cooked meal, greek salad and a glass of wine. She had stocked the fridge with everything we could possibly need for the next few days . 4 days later she returned with more Cretan delicacies for us to enjoy. It is a long trip from the USA, but we cannot wait to return. Paleochora, the nearest town is reached via a hair-raising, but absolutely stunning mountain drive. Somehow this little town provides everything a visitor could need and yet avoids any of the jarring elements of the more heavily touristed towns on the north of the island.

This was our country home since we converted into a vacation rental.
I am looking forward to welcoming you at the villa and I wiil be at your disposal during your stay.
It makes me really glad to have my visitors happy spending a beautiful time in the Villa and return their home really refreshed.

Why they chose this property

The Villa is located in one of the most beautiful and less developed regions of Chania on Crete Island.
Situated in a typical Cretan village called Prodromi, a small and safe traditional settlement, between the picturesque villages of Paleochora and Sougia.
It is builted in an altitude of 550 meters that ensures a pleasant chill during the never-ending summer sun while captures magnificent mountain views as far the Libyan Sea.
More information

Due to the location "Archon" can be used as a base for exploring the wild beauties and the untouched beaches of the southwest, or as a country retreat to loosen yourselves in the tranquillity and discreet luxury of the house.

In 12 Km distance (15-20 min. driving) is Paleochora village a place that you can find everything. Restaurants, super markets, cafes, bars, water sports, banks, pharmacies, bookstores, doctors e.t.c.
So far it keeps the right balance between tradition and tourism.
