Sto Lofo | Design Villa w/ Pool & Views | Plakias & Preveli
Set just outside the mountain village of Asomatos, Villa Sto Lofo offers a refined way to experience South Crete — peaceful and surrounded by nature, yet just minutes from Plakias, Preveli Beach, and the Kourtaliotiko Gorge with its famous waterfall.
Part of a small hillside collection of thoughtfully designed homes, each villa is positioned to maintain privacy while benefiting from a calm and well-kept setting.
Outside, the private pool draws you in, while inside, clean lines, natural materials, and warm tones create a relaxed, understated atmosphere.

Set into the hillside, the villa benefits from open views and a well-kept environment, with a strong sense of space throughout.

What makes this property unique
Villa Sto Lofo stands out through its balance of design, setting, and atmosphere. While located within a small hillside collection of villas, each home is carefully positioned to maintain a strong sense of privacy, combining the ease of a well-kept environment with the feeling of a private retreat.
The architecture and interiors follow a clean, earthy design language, using natural materials and warm tones to create a calm, understated space that feels connected to the surrounding landscape. Large openings frame wide views across the valley towards the sea, while the outdoor areas — including the private pool and sunken lounge — are designed for slow, open-air living.
Its location just above Asomatos, between the mountains and the coast, adds another layer to the experience. Close to Plakias and some of South Crete’s most beautiful beaches, yet set in a quieter, more elevated position, the villa offers a different pace — one that is defined as much by space and atmosphere as by the setting itself.
