About this property
19th century villa cosmakis
Villa Cosmakis, and a luxurious residence built back in the 19th century, renovated and fully equipped with all modern comforts, promises to offer you moments of total relaxation and joy in the peaceful village of Rodakino, in magical Crete.
The space
Cosmakis was the 1920s nickname of our family's grandpa, who traveled as an immigrant and worked for about 10 years in Chicago, America, while seeking a better life. George Katakis, as his real name, was born in 1896 and bought one of the oldest houses of the area in 1918 after coming back from America. And today, almost 100 years later, we find ourselves naming, in our turn, the villa after him. "Villa Cosmakis" and home from us, to anyone around the world who decides to visit!
The original character and the Cretan traditional architecture have been preserved and taken seriously during renovation. A huge, impressive arch that holds the foundations of the house over the centuries, the "ontades" and antique - everyday items and decoration are some of the most characteristic features of the residence, which consists of the main - arch home and an independent home-suit right next door.
The main - arch house can accommodate up to 4 people in semi autonomous bedrooms, which look like attics and in Cretan greek are called "ontades", as stated. The ontades philosophy allows roommates and families to maintain and strengthen their internal bonds by providing a more direct, immediacy based form of relationship and communication. As for facilities, the "villa cosmakis - Kamarospito" (the arch house) has a spacious bathroom with a jacuzzi bathtub, a large fully equipped kitchen (+ washing machines for both clothes and dishes), a dinning room and a relaxing living room.
The house have a free wi-fi connection, radios, TVs, and a large, shared yard with sea
and mountain view.
The house can accommodate up to 4 people. There is a double bed and two extra beds are available upon request. A baby cot can also be provided on request.

Private yard, garden. Quick access to the beach.
