Introducing Antigoni Villa, a back-to-nature sanctuary
There’s a certain romance to Eleutherna—quiet lanes, timeless stonework, and that unmistakable feeling of Crete as it once was. Antigoni Villa captures this spirit with a warm, lived-in elegance and space to truly gather. Mornings begin with coffee outdoors as the countryside wakes, followed by languid swims and sun-drenched hours by the pool while children enjoy their own shallow splash zone. Afternoons invite long, leisurely lunches under open skies, charcoal BBQ aromas drifting through the air, and calm pockets of shade for reading, resting, or simply doing very little at all. As the day softens, the outdoor sitting areas become the natural meeting point for sunset drinks, stories, and the easy togetherness that turns a holiday into a tradition.

External Living : Life outdoors unfolds across 400m² of private exterior living, where poolside lounging, family-friendly spaces and open-air dining come together under the Cretan sky. Designed for unhurried days and shared moments, the exterior offers privacy, comfort and a deeply restorative countryside atmosphere.

******************************************************
Location Overview - Discover Eleutherna in Rethymno

*TO SEE : Nestled in the picturesque and historic village of Eleutherna, Antigoni Villa sits in a quietly compelling landscape—olive groves, foothills and an unmistakable sense of “away from it all.” Just moments from your doorstep, the Ancient Eleutherna archaeological site and the Museum of Ancient Eleutherna offer a rare journey through Crete’s layered past, set on the slopes of Mount Ida (Psiloritis). A short scenic drive brings you to Arkadi Monastery, one of the region’s most significant landmarks, while Rethymno Old Town awaits for Venetian romance, harbour strolls and culture-filled afternoons.

*TO DINE : Life here is deliciously simple—traditional coffee stops and village-style dining close by, with a deeper culinary offering just beyond. Margarites is a local favourite for a relaxed coffee and an amble through its atmospheric lanes, famed for its ceramic ateliers and artisan craft. For everyday provisions and a wider choice of tavernas, bakeries, pharmacies and services, Perama is a convenient nearby hub.

*TO EXPLORE : Eleutherna’s position is ideal for discovering the best of North Rethymno at your own pace—heritage villages, inland routes, and easy coastal escapes. When the sea calls, the friendly village of Panormo offers sheltered, family-friendly sandy beaches such as Limanaki and LIMNI, with shallow waters and organised facilities for effortless beach days. With the island’s main arteries within reach, day trips toward Heraklion or Chania become wonderfully feasible—then you return, each evening, to the calm cadence of village Crete.

Lovely comfortable villa with great views.

Antigoni is a very friendly, helpful host who kindly made us a lovely moussaka. The villa is clean and comfortable. Plenty of sun beds, great views and nice pool. Every bedroom is en-suite. Lovely taverna and small shop a short walk away. Rural location so a car is needed to explore the area.

Rural Cretan Holiday

A great property in a beautiful location. Well equipped and maintained. The pool was slightly smaller than expected but was great for the children to play about it and for adults to cool off and swim a few strokes. No Taverna in the village, but a good choice in Margarites 10K away - also plenty of ceramic shops and workshops in this town to buy gifts etc. The Museum and acheological dig at Eleftherna should be open soon and is a good place for walks etc. Beaches are acessible by car - about 45 minutes. Only drawback is two bedrooms are acessible only through another bedroom so privacy a bit compromised - OK for a gang of kids or singles. Antigoni and husband were very hospitable and helpful.

Antigoni Delight

I'm not normally one to enthuse too much, I normally see improvements that can be made. Not this time! I cannot imagine a more perfect break for me and my family to celebrate a special occasion. We arrived in the village to our hostess waiting, after clear communications. The villa had plenty of room for the 10 of us, the location rural and quiet. Car hire is essential, food and attractions are a bit far for foot travel. The hostess was amazing, attentive and responsive to our needs - even arranging a cake for our celebration. George and his taverna are just a short stroll away with some amazing refreshments and a history lesson if you like that! I will be back to this wonderful establishment.

Beautiful rural Crete

Beautiful location with good, well maintained facilities made for an enjoyable holiday for our large family group. Antigoni and her husband took good care of us, meeting us and guiding us to the property as we arrived very late on a delayed flight, also extending Cretan hospitality in the form of a lovely home cooked meal on one evening. They advised on local tavernas and shopping. Eleftherna is situated on the site of extensive Minoian excavations and within easy reach ( by car) of beaches and other historical sites of interest. The nearby villiages of Margarites is the island's ceramic centre and provides an array of handcrafted ceramics to buy. The younger members of the party enjoyed the water park outside Heraklion on one day. The only drawback to the property is that two of the bedrooms are accessed through another bedroom so privacy can be compromised!

Vidunderlig solnedgange på et dejligt sted

Huset er meget fint og rummeligt med masser af badeværelser. Der er et stort fællesrum med køkken. Udsigten er smuk og kan nydes fra poolen eller terrassen. Ejeren Antigoni kommer flere gange i løbet af opholdet og er enormt hjælpsom. Hun lavede den bedste moussaka som vi nogensinde har smagt. Vi var 13 personer i alle aldre og havde fin plads. Området har flere fine landsbyer bla med keramik, nogle fine grotter og masser af vandreture. Vi kommer gerne igen.

CADRE EXCEPTIONNEL

Maison idéale pour se retrouver en famille. Chacun a son indépendance grâce aux chambres spacieuses équipées de salle de bain privée, petite kitchenette et climatisation. Le cadre est exceptionnel, en pleine campagne, vue sur les montagnes. Coucher de soleil magnifique chaque soir.Un cadre très ressourçant loin du monde et du bruit de la ville. Idéale pour les amoureux de la nature. Un grand merci à Antigoni et son mari pour leur gentillesse et leur bienveillance. Ils sont aux petits soins afin que rien ne manque à notre séjour.Des hôtes exceptionnels ! Antigoni nous a cuisiné sa moussaka, un régal !!! Encore merci à eux. Nous louons chaque année des villas dans différents pays européens, c'est la 1ère fois que nous sommes aussi bien accueillis. Ne pas oublier d'aller manger chez Georges, la taverne du village, à 2 pas de la maison. Sa cuisine locale est délicieuse et sa gentillesse nous fait passer un excellent moment crétois. Nous avons passé 2 semaines au paradis, je recommande fortement. Merci encore !!!

Eine tolle Finka abseits gelegen. Für unsere Gruppengröße und Konstellation super geeignet. Auch während unseres Aufenthalts gab es nichts zu beanstanden. Begrüßt wurden wir von der Besitzerin. Diese hatte auch den Kühlschrank mit eigenen und heimischen Produkten gefüllt. Jeden Tag schaute sie kurz vorbei und leerte die Mülleimer, schaute nach dem Pool und fragte ob wir was benötigen. 1x bekamen wir sogar selbst gebackenene Mousaka. Die Vermittleragentur kümmerte sich ebenfalls toll um uns und stand bei Fragen zur Seite

Wat een geweldige ervaring in deze prachtige villa.

We had a great time in Villa Antigoni. The owner took care of our groceries for the arrival day. We also got fresh eggs from their chickens and deliciously sweet tomatoes from their own garden. The owner came every night to pick up the garbage and ask if we needed anything else. We also got delicious moussaka from the owner. Never eaten such a tasty moussaka. The villa looked exactly like the pictures. Every 3 days the villa was cleaned and we were given clean beds and towels. We were there with 6 adults and 4 children (3-7 yrs.) and we have been in the pool every day. We, our children and grandchildren have been in the villa for 12 nights. We thank them for all the good services. Paul en Wilma Giesen, Nederland 09-08-2021/21-082-2021

Perfect!

Ok, let me start by saying, that the villa is just wonderful. great rooms, great pool, great view! Our family (9 adults and 2 kids) spent 10 wonderful days! The owner (Ms. Antigoni) and Etouri did everything they could to help us! They organized beach visits, helped with the rental car and the chef service, Ms. Antigoni came by everyday and asked if we needed anything and emptied the trashcans. She even made us some homemade Mousaka (which was one of the best we ever had) It was just perfect! I travelled a lot in my life but the service we had in Villa Antigoni was one of the best! All in all, it was sooo uncomplicated. Thanks to Whatsapp we could ask questions and get information almost around the clock. We as a family would highly recommend other people to stay in this wonderful place!

Lovely villa for a big family and friends

We were a group of family and friends, celebrating my fathers 75 years birthday. Ten adults stayed in a double room with a bathroom and one family of three had their own room with a bathroom. For this group there was enough of space. The view from the terrace was really unforgottable, so was the kindness of the owner. Everyone in the village made us feel welcome (except two dogs in the nearby house). We can warmly recommend this villa. Thank you Antigoni!

A silient paradise in the mountains

Dear Etouri team, we had a wonderful time in Villa Antigoni - we love the surroundings, the small village and the nice people. The owner of the villa were as well very friendly and one evening they cooked for us a delicious moussaka. For some days we stayed there with 15 people - if some of them would be children - it is possible - but only adults - it is too much. So better to stay there with 12 people - then it is perfect. Thank you very much for these relaxing holidays - perhaps we will visit you again. Greetings to Eleftherna and this nice taverna - especially the owner Georg - and of course best wishes to the nice owners of the villa. Kind regards Britta and the whole family

A fantastic villa, perfectly suitable for several families travelling together!

We came almost around midnight and were positively surprised that the owner wanted to meet us in the house and show us around. The house is actually 4 separate apartments with own exit to the common terrace. Making it possible to give each family the privacy but still enjoying each others company. The space outside overlooking the pool was excellent, with sunbeds and sun umbrellas. We were brothers/sisters travelling together with our family in total 11 persons. 2 families with children who enjoyed the 2 larger apartments with 2 floors and 2 bathrooms in each. The owner Antigoni and her husband was very kind and made sure we had an excellent stay in the villa. They came by everyday to make sure we had everything we needed and also served us an excellent moussaka during one of our days. The company Etouri, also gave us the possibility to enjoy one day at Baja beach club with complimentary sunbed and wine, with beach and pool areas in Rethymnon. We enjoyed the place very much. All in all an excellent vacation and stay at Villa Antigoni.

Geweldig verblijf aan de rand van een klein dorpje, prachtige (wandel)omgeving!

Luxe, zeer schone villa voor verblijf van een familie of groep (2 appartementen voor 4 personen, 2 appartementen voor 2 personen). Huis goed te verwarmen, wat eind april nog wel even nodig was, gedurende een enkele avond. Zeer gastvrije ontvangst en goede zorgen tijdens het gehele verblijf. Aan praktisch elke wens kan worden voldaan. Zo vroegen wij een verjaardagstaart te bezorgen en binnen een paar uur werd een prachtige taart met kaarsjes bezorgd door mevr. Antigoni. Ook heeft ze ons een heerlijke ovenschotel bezorgd! Aan de rand van een klein dorpje met een eetcafé en tal van archeologische vindplaatsen rondom, verbonden door duidelijke wandelpaden. Rustige woonomgeving, prachtig uitzicht, zeer geschikt om te ontspannen. Echt een aanbeveling!

We had a wonderful holidays!

Antigoni and Vasilis are very welcoming people. The house ils perfect for 10 people. I think that we were a bit too Manu: 15, and the swimmingpool was a bit too small. The scenery is fantastic and it is very easy to fond everything you need to eat in the small village 3 km from ancient Eleftherna. The place is very calm and the people are so nice. We recommend strongly this place to discover the tresors of Creta.

Feeling at home...in Greece

We visited Crete this summer, we were 9. We were enthusiastic to rent this villa because of the kindness with which they answered to us, but we were even more delighted at the end of vacation. Mrs Antigoni is a very nice person. She welcomed our requests with great kindness and availability. As good Italians we could not do without coffee; when we asked her where to buy a machine able to do it (the villa is situated in the mountains, sorrounded by tiny villages still engaged in traditional activities, you must make a few km to find the grocery store and / or specific retailers), she answered that she would have give it to us the following day. We thought she had one or knew someone who was using it, instead she brought to us a new machine, including refills and 9 new coffee cups. Another time she made us prepare from her mother the typical "moussaka", making us eat one of the best Greek typical food. We were utterly surprised and apreciated it. She is a decent person, but attentive to guest's needs too. I certainly have a very good memory of the past week there... In fact, if I ever will go back to Crete I won't hesitate to contact her to book the villa again (which with its position, however, is perfect to explore of the sorrounding area by car)!!

A perfect stay in Kreta!

The house is just as perfect as you can see on the pictures! Everything is new and comfortabel, rooms are big, every room has a bath room - a big group (or some families and friends) finds everything what is needed and more. Because the house is located in a small mountain village it is just no "crazy party location". The taverns around the place were all very good and typical. Small supermarkets are in the next villages. It is really worth to go the way up to the mountains, the atmosphere and the view from there is something particular, we enjoyed it very much! The service is perfect, the owners are always available, helpful and very friendly!! Thanks a lot Antigoni!!!

Comfortable and spacious house

We were 13 persons: 7 adults and 6 girls aged 7 to 14 years to celebrate several events . We all found our piece in this big house . The rooms are spacious and well appointed , each with its own bathroom and toilet. The large common room where we were left to eat at night , with its kitchen and lounge , was very friendly . The terrace overlooking the pool is well equipped with umbrellas , garden tables and chairs. The owners are lovely, very attentive and full of attentions . We recommend this house, which is not by the sea , for its calm and its proximity to various attractions.

Belle maison avec piscine

Nous étions 13 personnes : 7 adultes et 6 filles de 7 à 14 ans pour fêter plusieurs évènements. Nous avons tous trouvé notre petit coin dans cette grande maison. Les chambres sont spacieuses et bien aménagées, chacune avec sa salle d'eau et WC. La grande pièce commune, où nous nous retrouvions pour manger le soir, avec sa cuisine aménagée et son salon, était très conviviale. La terrasse qui domine la piscine est bien aménagée avec parasols, tables et fauteuils de jardin. Les propriétaires sont adorables, très prévenants et pleins d'attentions.

Amazing stay in Crete

Thank you for your wonderful hospitality in a wonderful location. Every need was met, and more. The modern villa is located in a very quite area, ideal if you want to get away from the bustle of the city. On request, a baby cot was provided for each of the babies. The building is in a good condition, the kitchen has all the necessary utensils for a self catering holiday. A complete Cretan meal was cooked for us, local seasonal produce was provided. There are no baths, just showers, but in hot weather this is no problem. Two top floor bedrooms are only accessible via two ground floor bedrooms. All in all a good stay, which we can recommend.
