About this property

Villa Anel - A peaceful retreat

Villa Anel is a unique retreat for those seeking peace and relaxation, just minutes from the center of Heraklion.
This brand-new apartment blends elegant simplicity with understated luxury, offering a bright and comfortable space that's perfect for unwinding.
Located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to both the airport and the port, Villa Anel is just 4 km away from the heart of the city.

The apartment is located on the first floor of a beautiful maisonette-style building. It is fully independent and exclusively available to guests. It is situated in a quiet and friendly neighborhood of Heraklion, offering an environment that ideally combines privacy with comfort. Access is via a separate outdoor staircase that passes through a garden (which is not intended for use). The entire first floor is at the guests' disposal.
The space includes two bedrooms, each with a double bed, and an atmospheric “onta” — accessed via an internal staircase — a cozy area with a sofa bed and a desk. The living room is spacious and bright, with a comfortable three-seater sofa, while the kitchen is fully equipped for everyday meal preparation.
The apartment features two bathrooms with showers and a separate gym room, ideal for moments of activity and wellness during your stay.
There are four balconies, offering natural light, pleasant ventilation, and the opportunity to enjoy relaxing moments outdoors.
The property is easily accessible by car, with convenient parking available right in front.
It is located 2.9 km from Nikos Kazantzakis Airport, 1.5 km from the port, and 2.7 km from the center of Heraklion, providing direct access to the city’s key points.
Villa Anel combines functionality, elegance, and privacy, making it ideal for families, groups of friends, or professional visitors to Heraklion.
The space offered is located on the first floor of a charming maisonette-style building and is exclusively available to guests. Access is via a private outdoor staircase that passes through a garden — a space only crossed and not intended for use. The first floor is fully independent and has everything needed for a comfortable and private stay.
Our goal is to make your stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible, so we would like to share a few practical details:
The neighborhood is quiet, so we kindly ask you to respect the local quiet hours.
Access to the apartment is via an outdoor staircase. Please note that there is no elevator.
The entrance door is a sliding door and opens by pulling it.
Lastly, you may spot Hamlet, our family cat, in the garden. He is 8 years old, calm, friendly, and used to having guests around. If he watches you from a distance, that’s his way of saying hello.

About the host

Hosted by ELENI GERONYMOU

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Eleni – an architect from Heraklion, Crete. I’ve always loved designing and building homes, and hosting has become a natural extension of that passion.

Villa Anel is built right above my childhood home, and creating it has been a dream of mine for years. I enjoy offering thoughtful, quality experiences to my guests, and I genuinely value the warm connections that come from hosting.

When I'm not working, I love exploring new ideas, enjoying good company, and finding creative ways to bring beauty into everyday life. I look forward to welcoming you to Crete and sharing a little of what makes this place – and this home – so special.

Why they chose this property

The villa is located in a peaceful neighborhood with a few houses around, offering a real sense of calm and privacy. What I enjoy most about the area is its perfect balance – it feels calm and tucked away, yet it’s only a few minutes from the vibrant center of Heraklion. You can relax and unwind without being far from everything the city has to offer.

What makes this property unique

What makes Villa Anel stand out is the care and thought that went into every detail. As an architect, I designed the space to feel both elegant and welcoming – a place where guests can truly relax. The villa combines modern comfort with a warm, personal touch, and its location offers the best of both worlds: tranquility and easy access to the city. It’s more than just a place to stay – it’s a space that feels like home.
