About this property

Villa 5 Anemoi was build 150 years ago by our grandparents! During the complete renovation of the house in 2008, most of the original materials were re-used and the renovation was inspired by traditional building techniques in order to maintain its authentic shape and style. Wood and stone as the dominant components of its construction contribute to an enchanting ambience which breaths out serenity!
The traditional furniture ideally complement the atmosphere, nothing glaring or superfluous that would tire the visitors! It's like going back to past times, where the old mansions were stealing the impressions with their simplicity and elegance.
Let the uniqueness of its structure and its scenic atmosphere charm you and travel you through time. Feel the comfort along with the sense of returning to a simpler way of life! Meet your inner peace...

With a living area of 170 square meters, divided over two floors, and an outside area that equals 125 square meters, Villa 5 Anemoi offers plenty of space to enjoy and relax without feeling bounded!

Enjoy your coffee at the spacious terrace feeling the sweet breeze, or your favorite music in the cosy living room!
Relax in the private garden with the company of your favorite book while sunbathing!
In case you would like to stay in, a fully equipped and fuctional kitchen gives you the chance to prepare a dinner you can enjoy under the candle lights in the enchanting tranquillty of the terrace at warm summer nights!

The terrace is accessible from the kitchen and also from the lounge on ground floor. An internal stairway leads to the upper sleeping rooms who share a balcony, and are also accessible from an external stairway.

Make sure not to skip the visit to our small farm!

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful holiday in Lefkogeia on our first visit to Crete. The village is about an hour and a half drive from Chania but apart from those drives to and from the airport, each day we visited a different town or beach all within just a few minutes. A gorge walk and sunset boat trip (including swim in the Med) were amongst many highlights. The accomodation was super both external and internal with the owners having made a lovely job of modernising and furnishing whilst retaining the charm of the building.

Außergewöhnlicher Aufenthalt ♥️☀️!

Wir waren mit 2 Familien in dem so tollen Haus von Betty und Elias. Das Haus ist genau so wie es im Inserat beschrieben ist. 2 Schlafzimmer befinden sich im Haupthaus ( im Obergeschoss), ein Schlafzimmer in einem kleinem extra Gebäude direkt am Haupthaus und das 4. Schlafzimmer ist in der oberen Etage des Haupthauses über eine Außentreppe zu erreichen. Das Hauptbad ist im Erdgeschoss des Haupthauses und ein 2. Bad ist direkt an der Terrasse von außen zu erreichen (dort befindet sich auch eine Waschmaschine, was sehr praktisch ist). Der Wohnbereich ist wirklich sehr groß und die Küche mit allem ausgestattet, was man so braucht. Wir haben insbesondere die Terrasse sehr genossen, die durch einen schönen Weinstock sonnengeschützt und so wirklich sehr gemütlich ist. Auch den Pool haben wir sehr genossen. Er ist zwar nicht riesig, aber für eine Abkühlung perfekt und unsere Kinder fanden ihn genau richtig für Tauch- und Ballspiele. Die Lage des Hauses fanden wir großartig. Wunderbare Strände sind schnell mit dem Auto zu erreichen und der größere Ort Plakias mit all seinem netten Trubel ( Cafés, Restaurants und Geschäften) lädt zu einem längeren Aufenthalt ein. Wir waren insbesondere begeistert von dem kleinem Ort, in dem sich das Haus befindet… mit seinen kleinen Gassen, zwei Tavernen, einem Supermarkt und einem großartigen Café, in dem wir sehr gern unseren Freddo Cappuccino und kleine Snacks genossen haben. Alles in nur 2 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Das Haus ist umgeben von Häusern, in denen Kreter leben, so dass man überhaupt nicht das Gefühl hat in einem Tourismus-Ort zu sein, sondern mitten drin bei den Einwohnern selbst. Auch ist es sehr ruhig… nur das schöne Geräusch von Grillen gibt einem ein echtes Urlaubsgefühl. Und dann ist noch hervorzuheben, wie wunderbar Betty und Elias sind. Solche Gastgeber haben wir noch nie erlebt!🥰 Betty war immer für uns zu erreichen, hat uns Restaurants und Orte / Strände empfohlen und uns sogar zu sich auf die Farm eingeladen. Was außergewöhnlich war, ist dass Betty während unseres zweiwöchigen Aufenthalt zwei Mal das Haus sauber gemacht, uns regelmäßig mit neuen Handtüchern versorgt und die Betten neu bezogen hat. Das haben wir so noch nie bei einer Unterkunft erlebt. Betty hat sich gern mit uns unterhalten, so dass wir auch viel über Kreta u. Griechenland erfahren haben. Die Lage des Hauses, das Haus selbst und Betty und Elias haben uns so außergewöhnlich begeistert, dass wir wieder kommen! 🥰

Villa au top et hôtes aux petits soins

Nous avons passés un super séjour chez Betty et Hilias. La maison est grande, vraiment propre, et nous avons passés de beaux moments sous la tonnelle ou dans la piscine! Tout le confort y est les clim partout, le WIFI, lave linge...Seul le vent est venu gacher un peu nos vacances, mais cela, ils n'y peuvent rien! Dans le village de Lefkojia il y a tout (spéciale dédicace à la tverne de Stellios ;) ). A 5 minute Plakias permet de fire les courses de façon plus importantes. Merci encore de votre accueil!

2 Wochen Ferien im Frühling Kretas

Das Haus ist eine Perle der Ortschaft Lefkogeia. Mit Liebe gepflegt und umsorgt durch die Besitzerin Betty und Ihrem Mann. Wir bekamen mehrmals frische Handtücher, eine Reinigung (zwischendurch) und frische Bettwäsche. Bei kühlen Temperaturen war Betty zur Stelle um uns Feuerholz für den Kamin zu bringen. Ein Willkommensgruß wartete ausserdem in der Küche. Einziges Manko war eine langsame Internet-Verbindung in der ersten Woche, welche in der zweiten Woche verbessert wurde. Wir verdanken Betty und Ihrem Haus 2 wunderschöne Familien-Ferienwochen auf Kreta.

Why they chose this property

Going away on vacation means everything to people who work hard the whole year and just need the time to take a break, relax and have fun enjoying the company of their friends or their family, away from the stressful conditions of their daily life and routine!
From time to time, all of us really need to get away, leave our usual activities, our usual stuff, our house and its furniture, even our favourite chair or sofa where we use to relax when we come home after a very busy day! We simply want to go somewhere else where nothing reminds us of the usual pictures that we see everyday of the year.
This property is ideal for spending your vacation not only because it is so spacious that you will definately enjoy without feeling bounded but also because of its ambience that comes out from its authenticity and its inveteracy.
Everything is simple here, life is supposed to be simple, nothing superfluous or extravagant to exaust your eyes... only this atmosphere that travels you away, relaxes and revives you.
This property has definately nothing to do with your home, although it really feels like it!!! It feels like home! It is not just a rental property... It is the place you will fall in love with!
