About this property
Private villa with private pool and amazing view in an unspoilt environment
Villa Agni is a lovely stone detached villa that promises to make you feel the unspoilt Cretan nature and tradition. The house has 4 air conditioned bedrooms, all decorated in style, with elegant curtains, hand-made mirrors, beautifully painted walls as well as spacious closets. To its fully equipped kitchen(microwave oven, coffee machine, toaster, electric kettle, etc.) you will find an old wooden fireplace. To the upper floor(apart from the one bedroom and the kitchen) there is also a bathroom(with shower) and a beautifully decorated living room with a lot of windows that offer a great view either of the mountains and the gorge either of the front veranda and courtyard. Downstairs, there are the three other bedrooms and one bathroom with shower. Staying to that house with its ceiling made by old beams and with the rocks inside the bedroom walls it's an experience that you will not forget.
The outdoor part of the house: The outdoor part of the house spreads into 4 acres of terraces, with dense vegetation, a kiosk, paved courtyards, hidden corners and a swimming pool with a view of the mountains and the lush green landscape. You can enjoy your coffee or dinner to the kiosk that is placed just above the swimming pool and has a view to the gorge and the mountain. You will definitely feel the magic of Cretan nature. In the gardens you can find a lot of corners for relaxation and calm as well as organic grown vegetables for your salads, that will give you a small taste of the gifts of the Cretan land. There is also a BBQ area as well as parking area. You can take a walk outside through the friendly village and admire the unique architecture of the place as well as the nature.

The house Is not very near to the beaches buy this particular Is fully compensated by the house and by host assistance.
A real nice place to stay in peace with your family and friends. As a plus, a subtle flavour of tradition tipical of italian and green style.
Quiet location at the end of a winding road. Perfect to relax away from everything. Close to small town (15 mins) that will service all your needs.
House well equipt and the pool area is fabulous.
Beautiful villa, bigger than it appeared in photos (especially the grounds). The hosts were so kind to meet us and help guide us to the villa since it's a little remote, and were quick to respond on whatsapp and offer advice and guidance as needed, but otherwise gave us our space. They provided us with a wonderful welcome basket upon arrival and gave us a tour and recommendations for the area, and it was cool to read the guest book which had been signed by guests from all over, going many years back. The sheep were led past the vrbo morning and night, so we got hear their bells and sometimes see them (if we peered over the villa walls). It was also exceptionally clean. Could not ask for a better stay! We also managed to get airport taxi pickups for some of our group since we all left the villa at different times (we all had different departure flights), despite it being so remote, but would definitely recommend having a rental car if you're staying here, and giving yourself time to enjoy the villa and the surrounding area (the location is rural - maybenot ideal if you want to spend every day of your vacation driving to bigger cities or beaches). Would also recommend that you're comfortable driving somewhat windy country roads (with that said, if you follow the host recommended route most of the roads were wider, paved, regular roads, it's just the last fifteen minutes or so that are smaller roads) - and request the pool be heated in advance as it takes a day or so to warm up!
Mountain farmhouse with gardens, multiple entertainment areas and pool
Perfect for a week with family where we could relax, cook and eat together. Separate sleeping quarters meant our son with our young grandchildren had their own space. We all loved the gardens and pool, enjoyed making orange juice daily, and made good use of the charcoal bbq and pizza oven. Property better than described. Our small and medium rental cars were ok on the narrow winding roads and through villages. Do a grocery shop in any of the five supermarkets and butcher in Perama before you arrive. Best not to waste precious pool time driving those mountain roads.
Our family of six adults and three children thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely villa. It was spacious and well laid out. The grounds were terraced, filled with large trees and plants, and a pool that is large and gorgeous. It was also completely fenced, gated and private. The family successfully updated the amenities without losing the charm and character of the era in which it was built. The location was remote, but since we had rented a vehicle, we had no problem getting where we wanted to go and back. I would highly recommend this villa to any group looking for an out of the ordinary place that is both large and comfortable.

Wonderful villa; charming owner
After a disastrous 24 hours elsewhere on Crete, after which we walked out of the villa we had booked, we luckily made contact with the delightful Antonios Hatzidakis, who immediately came to our rescue. He bent over backwards to help us, allowing us to stay in Villa Aretheusa while Villa Agni was made ready for us, and going well out of his way to make sure that all our needs were met. I cannot speak too highly of his helpfulness, throughout our stay in Crete.
Villa Agni is very special. It is located about 20 minutes back from the coast, in the high and unspoilt village of Kastri, about half way up the Mt Ida range. Although it takes about 15 mins on distinctly rural roads to reach a taverna or supermarket, this minor disadvantage is easily outweighed by the many advantages of quietness, privacy and seeing the real Crete. And of course Kastri is much nearer some of the inland attractions, such as the Amari Valley and Moni Arkhadiou, and the scenic inland routes with their breathtaking views. A car is essential.
An architect, Mr Hatzidakis has turned his characterful family home into a superbly well appointed villa, that was spotlessly clean and tidy. The upper part of the house (with kitchen, dining room, sitting room, one bedroom with shower/loo and outside dining area) is adjoining but physically separate from the lower part, which has the remaining bedrooms, shower etc. A few outside steps, within the villa's fenced and gated grounds, join the two. The large swimming pool is very cleverly built out from the side of a slope, with nothing beneath it but olive trees and grazing sheep and goats. Trees are planted so that it is not overlooked. Above the swimming pool is another, arboured and private, dining area which shares the poolside's lovely view towards hills.
We loved Villa Agni. We happened to recognise one of the previous guests in the book as a former UK ambassador to Greece, and it says much that he chose this quiet, rural but luxurious villa. For those who are prepared to be away from the fleshspots (but within 20 mins of good tavernas etc) we recommend it unreservedly.
Magnifique villa en pierre, beaucoup d'espace, très bien aménagé, au calme. La propriétaire est totalement à notre disposition.Bien équipée en ustensiles de cuisine. La piscine est magnifique !
Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in der Villa Agni. Die Unterkunft liegt weit außerhalb in den Bergen Kretas (weswegen ein Auto unerlässlich ist) und überzeugt durch seinen besonderen Charme. Besonders der große und tiefe Pool mit seiner tollen Aussicht hat uns sehr gefallen. Die Villa ist für uns 5 Personen angenehm groß gewesen. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber. Der Kontakt mit den Vermietern war ebenfalls sehr freundlich und angenehm. Insgesamt waren wir mit allem sehr zufrieden.
Super schöne Finca mit allen Annehmlichkeiten. Wir waren zu viert unter Freunden verreist. Alles vorhanden was man so benötigt. Wir haben eine tolle Woche dort verbracht. Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Allerdings sollte man mobil sein da die Finca in den Bergen liegt.
Heerlijk ruim en net verblijf. Echte familie aanrader
Fantastische week doorgebracht met kinderen en aanhang.
De locatie ligt centraal waardoor heel Kreta makkelijk te bereiken is.
Vriendelijke ontvangst en kraakhelder huis.
Kunnen wij van harte aanbevelen.
Wir haben schon einige Ferienhäuser gemietet aber das hier hat unsere Erwartungen deutlich übertroffen. Hier stimmt einfach alles: die ruhige Lage, die angenehme Anfahrt, die grandiose Aussicht in die Berge, die gepflegten Räumlichkeiten und der saubere und klare Pool. Wir wurden auch noch nie so freundlich mit einem großen gefüllten Korb, der alles was man zum Start so braucht, inklusive einer Flasche Wein, begrüßt. Alle unsere Anfragen auch bei einem regionalen Stromausfall wurden sofort und freundlich beantwortet. Die Lage zeichnet sich auch dadurch aus, dass man innerhalb einer Stunde viele Ausflugsziele erreichen kann: von langen Sandstränden über die wunderschöne Stadt Rethymno und Höhlen bis hin zu Klöstern. Auch Panormo am Meer ist nur zwanzig Minuten entfernt, ebenso wie mehrere idyllisch gelegene Bergdörfer. Ein Auto benötigt man allerdings schon.
Wir können diese Unterkunft und auch die netten Vermieter nur weiterempfehlen.
Séjour idéal dans cette superbe demeure . Chrysoula et ses parents a l'écoute et très réactifs .Grace a Chrysoula , la barrière de la langue n'a pas été un problème . Service de la maison au top . A l'arrivée , raki , huile d'olive et vin de crête , café et son lot de viennoiseries , rien ne manquait .
Das Haus in einem Dorf ohne jeden Tourismus ist wunderschön, der Pool mit bis 2.60 Tiefe und Blick auf die Berge sowie der herrliche Garten mit Feigen- und Zitronenbäumen märchenhaft. Für 7 Personen sehr in Ordnung 😊. Das Internet ist allerdings sehr schwankend, liegt aber eben an der Lage. Man muss eben Prioritäten haben, unsere war das Haus. Lieber Willkommensgruß mit fester und flüssiger Verpflegung . Jederzeit hätten wir vor Ort Ansprechpartner bei Problemen gehabt. Alles nur zu empfehlen.
Ungewöhnliches Haus, freundliche und herzliche Dorfbewohner
Haus liegt ziemlich abgelegen: kein Geschäft, kein Restaurant ist zu Fuß zu erreichen. Auto ist unbedingt notwendig. Die Menschen im Dorf sind aber sehr herzlich und freundlich. Wir wurden spontan zum Dorffest eingeladen und waren dafür sehr dankbar.
Das Haus ist sehr sauber und alles, was man braucht, ist vorhanden.
WLAN funktioniert leider super schlecht bis gar nicht.
Wir waren mit dem Aufenthalt sehr zufrieden.
Great nice guests, very welcoming. A wonderful house with charm of ancient property, very comfortable and set amongst olive trees and lovely garden , with great swimming pool, nice view of mountains. Only missing equipment (in my opinion) is dishwasher. Note also that internet is available but was very slow during our stay. We highly recommend.

A road from hell
Private villa with private pool and amazing view in an unspoilt environment
Don’t be fooled by the pictures! The Villa is nice but it will take you at least 20 minutes to drive the 10 km from the village. The road is outrageously narrow and tortuous, especially since we were driving a van. One part of the trip to the villa is on a road that is so narrow that you pray that no car will be coming face to face with you, as there is no place to move over. On one side you have the mountain and on the other one a very deep ravine and of course no guard rail! We did not expect anything like this. We are used to small roads but that one was out of this world. Also, I was travelling with 80 and 78 years old family members and they were completely shaken by the time we got the villa. I had a discussion with the owner but the only thing suggested was to relocate us to another villa 4 kms from the village for an enormous extra cost. They could not tell me the price of one night in that new villa compared to the one in Villa Agni! As we had already spent a little more than a large amount for the week, we decided we could not afford that solution, and of course, they did not want to refund us. We were stuck there in the mountains with nothing around. We traveled twice at night and got lost both times and it took us 1.5 hours to find our way back! GPS was getting lost also. The property is nice but skip all the details. First, they charge what I think is a ridiculous amount per day to heat the pool. Apparently as a good gesture, they were supposed to heat it up for us, free. The water was freezing cold. Ants are crawling everywhere in the kitchen. The refrigerator alarm goes off all day and night. Since the temperature can not be adjusted,, everything was freezing. AC unit in the double bedroom downstairs does not work. Door of that bedroom is not opening or closing properly, frame ready to fall off. Quite impossible to unlock the main bathroom door downstairs. You have to push with your knee to close the half bathroom door downstairs. In addition, no, I did not call them to fix anything, after the way they treated us, we did not want to have to deal with them!
Wunderschön. Abgelegen in den Bergen mit viel Ruhe und Entspannung. Ein Dankeschön für die Willkommensüberraschung. Alles vorgefunden wie beschrieben einschließlich sauberem Pool.
belle villa ,grande,piscine , beau jardin , calme et vu sur montagne
Très belle villa ,grande piscine , le jardin est fleuri , citronniers , orangés, la maison est bien agencé avec gout , propriétaire tres réactif à nos demandes , tres sympathique .un lave vaisselle serait un plus
Nous étions deux familles (2 couples, au total 5 enfants entre 3 et 16 ans) et nous avons passé une semaine formidable dans la villa Agni.
La villa est magnifique, authentique (ancienne ferme) mais très bien rénovée, décorée simplement mais avec goût, très confortable. La maison est très bien équipée et d'une propreté irréprochable (jamais vu en location : à mi-séjour la femme de ménage est venue pour un ménage intermédiaire).
Perdue dans la montagne, la maison est très reposante, le jardin est très beau (nous avons mangé des figues fraîches !) et la vue sur la montagne splendide, la piscine est très agréable et les diverses terrasses sont parfaites pour suivre ou s'abriter du soleil.
Compter 20 minutes pour aller faire les courses à Perama où l'on trouve tout ce qu'il faut (plusieurs super-marchés).
Idéal pour des vacances en famille ou entre amis.
Enfin les propriétaires sont extrêmement gentils et ont veillé à ce que nous passions un excellent séjour.
Nous recommandons vivement cette villa !
Très belle propriété dans un village isolé avec vue sur la montagne et les oliviers. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour et apprécié la piscine et le beau jardin. Accueil chaleureux des propriétaires qui sont très gentils et attentionnés. La maison est bien aménagée et a beaucoup de charme.
Nous recommandons ce lieu.
