SteMa Luxury Escape, Rooftop Jacuzzi & Panoramic Views
Welcome to SteMa Residence, a unique journey where past and present meet. This magnificent two-story mansion has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve its historic charm while offering all the comforts of modern life. Guests stepping through the front door are greeted by a home full of surprises, where old stone walls meet contemporary design.
Indoor Spaces:
The ground floor features a cozy living area with a large, comfortable blue sofa perfectly contrasting the original stone wall. Opposite, a decorative fireplace recalls the warmth of traditional Cretan homes. A few steps further, you’ll find a modern, fully equipped kitchen with white cabinets and drawers, complemented by an elegant round dining table and colorful chairs. A small bookcase is nestled within a former window frame, adding a charming touch.
The light-filled patio is perfect for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, furnished with a stylish wooden sunlounger and chairs.
Upstairs, a small seating area with two green armchairs and a colorful rug connects the bedrooms. Both queen-size bedrooms feature air conditioning, ample storage, and windows that retain the mansion’s original character.
Outdoor Spaces:
The rooftop terrace offers a chic outdoor living area with panoramic 360° views of the village, mountains, and sea. A metallic pergola with fabric accents allows guests to enjoy the scenery day or night, creating magical moments under the stars.

Guests have access to all areas of the mansion.
Other Details:
Shops, taverns, and cafes are just a 5-minute walk away.
