ArchonVilla - Escape to Tranquility in Affordable Luxury
IF YOU DREAM of a peaceful hideaway far from the noise and crowds, where you can truly recharge, Villa Archon awaits you. Tucked away in a charming, safe, and traditional settlement, just 12 km from Paleochora, you’ll be perfectly placed to explore 18 km of stunning beaches—each with its own unique beauty, ready to match your mood.
Whether you're seeking solitude, nature or a base to explore southwest Crete, ArchonVilla delivers the calm you crave with easy access to unforgettable experiences.
Villa Archon – Your Cretan Mountain & Sea Escape:
Perched at 550 meters above sea level, Villa Archon offers a rare blend of refreshing mountain breeze, inspiring views of the White Mountains, and the shimmering blue of the Libyan Sea—wrapped in warm, authentic Cretan hospitality.
Space & Flexibility for Every Stay:
Villa Archon is an architectural gem designed as two independent apartments that can easily transform into one spacious home. This flexibility makes it ideal for:
• One or two families seeking both togetherness and privacy
• Small groups of friends planning an unforgettable retreat
• Couples wanting space, peace, and romance
Each apartment has its own private entrance, with a connecting internal staircase and lockable door for ultimate privacy.
YOUR Main Upper-Level Apartment (150 sqm)
For groups of up to four guests, we offer the main apartment—more than enough space for comfort and style. You’ll have exclusive access to all outdoor courtyards, gardens, and terraces of the villa; the lower apartment remains closed and is never rented to others during your stay.
• Spacious 50 sqm living & dining room with vaulted ceiling and a cozy traditional attic (office or extra bedroom)
• Fully equipped separate kitchen on a slightly lower split level
• Two air-conditioned bedrooms and two private bathrooms
• Master bedroom with king-size stone-built bed, balcony, and sweeping mountain–sea views
• Second bedroom with two traditional iron beds and direct access to a peaceful yard
• Baby cot available free of charge upon request
• Furnished panoramic veranda — perfect for family lunches or romantic sunset dinners
LOWER Apartment for Larger Groups:
FOR 5+ guests, we open the charming lower-level apartment:
• Cozy living room & kitchen
• Master bedroom with king-size bed
• Second bedroom (air-conditioned) with two industrial-style iron beds and yard access
• Country-style bathroom with shower
FAMILY- & COUPLE-FRIENDLY Comfort:
Our enclosed courtyards and gardens offer safe play areas for children and tranquil corners for adults.
• Baby essentials: safety gates, high chair, cot, pram (on request, free of charge)
• Toys for all ages so the grown-ups can truly unwind
• Patios on all four sides — choose sun or shade all day
• Almost constant fresh breeze bringing the scent of Cretan herbs right to your table
EXTRA Touches to Make You Feel at Home:
Upon arrival, you’ll find a welcome basket with tea, coffee, fresh bread, butter, marmalade, eggs, milk, juice, seasonal fruit, mineral water, and our own Cretan olive oil — just a taste of the island’s bounty.
Villa Archon is more than a place to stay — it’s a place to breathe deeply, live slowly, and create memories that last. Whether you’re here for beach adventures, hiking in wild landscapes, or simply to enjoy the serenity of Cretan country life, this is where your perfect holiday begins.
The house is approved by the Greek National Tourism Authority with the EOT license number 1042K91002947101

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.
