About This Villa

Nestled in the heart of rural Crete, Villa Metis offers an enchanting escape reminiscent of 18th-century local lords. As you step through the main gate, you are greeted by the timeless allure of the stone courtyard, a haven steeped in traditional charm. Curved stone walls embrace the space, adorned with clay urns bursting with vibrant blooms, while the crowning glory, a century-old lemon tree, casts a dappled shade perfect for leisurely moments.

You can immerse yourself in the essence of rustic living as you prepare a traditional meal in the courtyard's stone oven or savour a homemade breakfast beneath the verdant canopy of the lemon tree. The tranquil ambience of the courtyard beckons you to unwind, promising an authentic experience that resonates with the spirit of rural Crete, regardless of the season.

As you step inside the villa, timeless elegance meets modern comfort. The living room exudes a traditional charm with its classic furnishings and inviting fireplace, beckoning you to unwind with a glass of local wine or lose yourself in the pages of a beloved book. Upstairs, a reading desk and dining table provide the perfect setting for planning your island adventures, while downstairs, the kitchen stands ready with modern amenities to cater to your culinary whims.

At the end of the day, or when you need a quiet moment alone, you can retreat to one of the villa's four spacious bedrooms, each a sanctuary of style and comfort. Whether it is the ground floor room ideal for little ones or the master suite boasting its own separate annex, every space is thoughtfully appointed.

Outside, the garden unfolds in all its glory, offering a tranquil oasis framed by lush foliage and swaying palm trees. Wooden shades provide respite from the sun, inviting you to linger over coffee or enjoy al fresco dining at the expansive table. And with the modern swimming pool and built-in jacuzzi awaiting your pleasure, Villa Metis promises a truly unforgettable retreat where every moment is infused with the timeless allure of rural Crete.
