About this property

Welcome to the house of nature colours!

The building and location

The new fully-equipped villa 140 τ.μ. decorated in minimalistic design and paying tribute to tradition and the natural environment is located on the hillside of the north coast of Rethymno, in an area called Scaleta. Scaleta is 13km away from the center of Rethymno in the east. The house is only 230 m away from Scaleta beach. The ideal location of the villa with a panoramic view to the gulf of Rethymno and Chania offers tranquility and relaxation to its tenants. Our guests can enjoy the Cretan sun ¸taste the fresh vegetables of the organic garden, explore nature around the area and entertain at the same time.
Enjoy your cup of coffee or taste the excellent traditional Cretan cuisine in the tavern next to the beach, while feeling the ocean breeze, listening to the sound of the sea and taking joy in the view of the Cretan sunset. Have a swim in the fantastic beach of Scaleta or in the crystal clear waters of Geropotamos beach, and spillies nearby.

The house was built with materials friendly to nature and humans in order to improve his bioclimatic behavior and healthy stay.The external hand-formed luteinizing plasters ensure breathability of materials and reconciliation with the colors of the surrounding. In the interior, the technique of the hand-formed pressed mortar under which the walls are made offers intimacy and warmth to anyone who decides to experience it!
Natural, warm and earthly materials cover both the internal and external floor as well as the pergola in front of the living room, a place where you can find pleasure in having your breakfast or relaxing, while watching the idyllic sunset. The large openings of the living room allow nature to "penetrate" the building giving the impression that the tradition speaks to contemporary life. During the mild winter of Crete, you can delight in the warmth of the energy-generating fireplace and relax under the sound of the olive logs crackling in it.
The apartment is perfectly situated in a place to access easily the lovely beaches and to explore all the other interesting sites that central Crete has to offer.
Its location is terrific for visiting the whole central region of this beautiful island, where the real Cretan spirit is hidden!
The apartment is tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and relaxing to spend time in.
While entering the house there is an open area, consisting of a huge living room with 2 sofas, a fireplace, and a fully equipped kitchen. On the left side, there is an area designed as a study with a library, a sofa and a table-desk with laptop for your needs. The porch under the pergola is designed to offer direct view to the sea. It is a comfortable and shaded place to relax while enjoying the sunset every evening.
On the same floor there is a bathroom with a shower and a bedroom with 2 beds, which can be transformed to a double one if needed. This room has a large balcony with view to the east side of the house. There is a vegetable garden in front of the balcony, where you can taste home-grown vegetables.
The large master bedroom, which has its own wc, is on the sub-layer, higher than the rest of the house, with a view to the east garden, too.
The house can accommodate 5 people in beds and up to 7 people, (a sofa bed easily converted into a 2 bed if necessary), or 3 adults and 4 children aged 6-12 years.
Baby cot and high chair for lunch is available on request.
Independent heating system and 3 air conditioning units.

Sehr schönes Haus und eine sehr liebe Gastgeberin

Das Haus ist einfach traumhaft und es fehlt an nichts. Waschmaschine, Bügeleisen, Saftpresse, Toaster etc.. Es ist einfach alles vorhanden. Sogar Waschmittel, Spülertabs etc. stehen zur Verfügung. Das Haus hat zwei Terrassen mit Meerblick und eine sehr schöne Grillecke. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Zur Begrüßung hatte sie uns ein Mittagessen gekocht und einen Kuchen gebacken. Ausserdem waren Tomaten, Gurken, Feigen und Orangen aus ihrem Garten im Kühlschrank. Zum Meer ging es ziemlich steil die Straße abwärts, was aber kein Problem war. Zusammenfassend war es ein sehr, sehr schöner Urlaub und wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Perfektes Wohlfühl-Haus...

Wer sich - wie wir - von der Anzeige des Hauses angesprochen fühlt, der kann mit gutem Gefühl buchen! Wir haben uns selten irgendwo so wohl gefühlt, wie in diesem Haus. Es stimmt einfach alles: Ausstattung, Sauberkeit, Gemütlichkeit, Ruhe, Platzangebot und die liebevolle Betreuung durch die Gastgeberin mit frischem Gemüse, selbstgebackenem Kuchen, Olivenöl aus eigener Herstellung und wertvolle Tipps für unseren Aufenthalt. Wir haben uns sehr, sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen! Danke liebe Litsa für die gute Zeit bei Dir...

Tipps für die Umgebung zum Einkaufen und guten Stränden gab es ebenfalls direkt bei Ankunft. Litsa war immer zur Stelle wenn wir eine Frage hatten. Das Haus ist mit Allem ausgestattet was man für einen traumhaften entspannten Urlaub braucht. Der Pizzaofen hat uns und die Kinder leckere Abende beschert.

Great property

Lovely, spacious house close to the main road across the island, but remaining peaceful and secluded. Very clean, with a well-equipped kitchen and effective air conditioning. Litsa left fruit and vegetables from her garden in the fridge (and more during our stay) and we were delighted after a long day's travelling to find a pastitsio awaiting us in the oven. Litsa was happy to provide us with information about any aspect of our stay in Crete. The house is even better than the photographs suggest and we wouldn't hesitate to book again.

excellent stay

Litza, the owner of the house is the most intelligent and delicate owner I have ever seen. We were amazed by the hospitality and warmth during our stay. The whole atmosphere was very warm. we felt like home. The location is very good for sightseeing in central Crete. The beach in Skaleta is not quite good, so we took the advice from Litza and visited other beaches. The house was amazing. Very cozy, clean and comfortable.

This accommodation is truly amazing. There is so much space, inside and out with a beautiful bbq area, and there is everything you could possibly need within it. Litsa made us so welcome and shared her home gown produce with us from a lasagne prepared for our first night to ensuring that we had an abundance of tomatoes, figs, oranges, green peppers and aubergines.

Super Wohnung!!

Wir buchen seit vielen Jahren Ferienwohnungen auf Fe-Wo und können dadurch gut beurteilen, wann eine Wohnung 5 Sterne verdient und wann nicht. Bei dieser Wohnung hat wirklich alles gestimmt, angefangen beim überaus freundlichen Empfang mitten in der Nacht nebst Abholung am örtlichen Supermarkt, da wir die Wohnung im Dunklen nicht gefunden haben. Vorgefunden haben wir alles, was auch schon in den vorherigen Bewertungen gestanden hat. Blumen, warmen Auflauf im Ofen, Obst in Hülle und Fülle, Tomaten, selbstgemachtes Olivenöl, frische Brötchen und einen schmackhaften Kuchen. Die Wohnung ist perfekt ausgestattet. Eine elektrische Saftpresse gehört auch dazu, wichtig, um die ca. 5 Kilo Orangen zu verbrauchen. Wir waren nur zu zweit :-) Bodylotion, Shampoo, Waschpulver, Putzmittel, Mülltüten, sind vorhanden. Der Außenbereich ist sehr gepflegt, liebevoll bepflanzt und verfügt über Liegen und eine Outdoor Küche mit Grill und Ofen. Die Wohnung liegt sehr ruhig und hat einen tollen Meerblick, Sonnenuntergänge inklusive. Ganz besonders hervorheben möchten wir den Abreisetag. Wir hatten einen Abendflug und neue Gäste waren schon im Anflug. Da wir die Wartezeit am nahen Strand verbringen wollten, hat Garefalia nichts davon hören wollen, dass wir von dort nur schlecht geduscht zum Flughafen fahren. Wir durften den Schlüssel bis kurz vor Ankunft der neuen Gäste behalten und konnten so, ausgestattet mit frischen Handtüchern, in der bereits geputzten und vorbereiteten Wohnung in aller Ruhe duschen. Sie hat das Bad dann erneut geputzt!! Vielen Dank dafür.

Absolutely wonderful!

I can’t say enough about this beautiful house and Litsa’s hospitality. The price is extremely reasonable for what you get. The description and photos on HomeAway.com are accurate—but it’s even better in real life. We especially wanted to relax outdoors, and were not disappointed. The outdoor patios are comfortable and gorgeous for eating, reading, visiting, yoga, etc. The landscaping is well planned and beautiful, providing lovely nature and privacy. This house is in a rural residential area, and a car is required. We loved it because it’s in the middle of the island, making our adventures all over Crete convenient. We loved the quaint setting, including a pasture across the street with a herd of sheep that wore bells around their necks, and herding dogs that moved the sheep to different areas. We stayed for 12 days, and every single day was fabulous. This home is large and artfully furnished, decorated and arranged. Every comfort and need is available (kitchen dishes, utensils, modern appliances, good linens, lovely bathrooms, etc.). The house is ideal for 4 people, but can accommodate more. There are actually 2 bedrooms plus a study that can sleep one or two people, but is open to the living room. The living room couch can also be used for sleeping. We would have appreciated the bathroom showers to have an overhead hook for a stand-up shower, as we have in America, but this is not a complaint—most showers in Greece are hand-held for water conservation. We had a stray cat that slept on the lovely white patio cushions leaving dirty paw prints, which we felt bad about it; but there are cats all over Greece that are adopted by all, and that is a wonderful thing in my opinion. While the house itself is fabulous, the best of all is its owner Litsa. She is truly exemplary! She welcomed us with wonderful fresh vegetables from the garden, a delicious homemade meal, preserves, breads, and every comfort we might need. She gave us valuable tips on what to see and do—things we would not know otherwise—and every piece of advice we took was a wonderful experience. Litsa is a dear, hard working, truly genuine, wonderful person. I can’t imagine a better experience, and we are all very thankful and feel honored to know her.

Ein Haus zum Wohlfühlen - eine Vermieterin mit Herz!

Wir schließen uns gerne den Beurteilungen anderer Urlauber an: das Haus ist geräumig, sehr komfortabel, genau wie auf den Bildern ausgestatet, viele Annehmlichkeiten sind gegeben. Für vier Personen - wir sind zwei befreundete Paare - ist das Haus ideal zum bequem Urlaub machen. Es ist wunderbar, den Sonnenuntergang von der Terrasse aus zu erleben und es macht Spaß, sich selbst zu versorgen, denn auch die Küche ist bestens ausgestattet und Litsa - die Vermieterin - sorgt für wunderbares Obst und Gemüse, welches sie aus ihrem eigenen Garten spendiert. Auch der Empfang durch sie war einfach großartig: vom Flughafen kommend, begrüßte uns Litsa herzlich und hatte einen Auflauf für uns zubereitet, der warm im Ofen auf uns gewartet hat. Auch der selbstgebackene Kuchen war eine wunderbare, leckere Überraschung! Nochmal herzlichen Dank dafür. Litsa war immer erreichbar und hat für jede Frage eine Antwort gefunden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, die Insel entdeckt, Sonne und Meer genossen. Wir können den Urlaub bei Litsa also sehr empfehlen! Nur wer ein absolut ruhiges Quartier möchte, findet dies hier nicht. Man hat im Haus Nachbar, eine kleine Straße führt vorbei, Hunde bellen manchmal und andere Urlauber beleben das kleine Quartier ebenso. Uns hat das nicht wirklich gestört und wir waren traurig, nach zwei Wochen wunderschönem Urlaub abreisen zu müssen. Mit einem herzlichen Abschieb von Litsa, der wir alles Liebe wünschen. Und sicher kommen wir wieder nach Kreta!

Sehr schönes, gut ausgestattetes und liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus

Wir haben mit unseren beiden Kindern in dem Ferienhaus zwölf tolle Tage verbracht. Das Haus entspricht der Beschreibung und bietet die Möglichkeit, seine Zeit sowohl in schön ausgestatteten und klimatisierten Räumen als auch auf den beiden Terrassen (mit Meerblick) zu verbringen. Die Vermieterin ist ein zuvorkommende Gastgeberin, die uns sofort mit selbstgemachtem Kuchen, Auflauf sowie allerlei Obst und Gemüse aus dem eigenen Garten empfangen und über den gesamten Urlaub versorgt hat. Zum Strand nach Skaleta muss man ein gutes Stück laufen, weshalb man doch das Auto nimmt, um dorthin zu gelangen oder einen der nahe gelegenen schöneren Strände anfährt. Auch hierfür haben wir von der Vermieterin jede Menge gute Tipps erhalten. Alles in allem können wir den Aufenthalt in diesem Ferienhaus sehr empfehlen.

We spent a wonderful week in this beautiful home. Litsa made us feel so welcome and she was exeptionally generous giving us an opportunity to sample local produce and allowing us to gather vegetables from her extensive garden. Litsa also gave us very useful information on places to visit but a week is nowhere near long enough to explore this lovely island. This is not your average holiday rental. It is a beautifully maintained and appointed home with every convenience.

Zuerst ein Dank an die Vermieterin: So eine Gastfreundschaft haben wir nirgends erlebt! Unmengen Obst und Gemüse aus eigenem Anbau standen auf dem Tisch, dazu Auflauf und Kuchen, Honig und Wein. Nachgereicht wurden Gebäck, Olivenöl und eingelegte Früchte. Unglaublich. Das Haus ist wunderbar und liebevoll eingerichtet, umfassend ausgestattet und Gebrauchsutensilien von Alufolie über Duschbad bis Laptop vorhanden. Alles ist super sauber. Alles entspricht der Beschreibung - voll ausgestattete Küche, 2 Bäder, 2 Schlafzimmer, min. 3 Sitzmöglichkeiten draußen, ... Das Meer ist fußläufig schnell erreicht, für Ausflüge empfiehlt sich ein Mietwagen. Unweit des Hauses hält aber auch ein Bus. Das Haus ist ruhig gelegen, es führt eine kleine Straße vorbei. Und das Abendessen mit Blick auf Meer und Berge mit Abendrot ist einfach nur schön. Vielen Dank Litsa!!!

Perfect house, perfect host

Wir haben 10 tolle Tage in diesem schönen Domizil verbracht. Das Haus entspricht absolut den Bildern und der Beschreibung, ist stillvoll eingerichtet mit schönen kleinen Details und ist perfekt für vier Personen. Die Umgebung ist ruhig und abseits des Massentourismus, man hört Zikaden singen und blickt von der Terasse auf das Meer. Es ist perfekt für alle, die der Hektik des Alltags entfliehen wollen und ihren Urlaub gerne individuell gestalten. Wir fanden es einen guten Ausgangspukt für unsere Ausflüge auf der Insel und zwischendurch ist man schnell an einer der nahgelegenen Buchten. Litsa war fantastisch! Sowohl vor als auch während unseres Aufenthalts hat die Kommunikation sehr gut geklappt und wir wurden verwöhnt mit Gemüse aus dem Garten und anderen Leckereien. Litsa, you are a wonderful host! Many thanks for your warm welcoming, all delicacies, lovely flowers in the apartment and the excellent communication and organization. We felt like coming home and will definitely come back!

Great quest! Thank you very much Anastasia for your kindness and love for Crete. You were a wonderful company! It is moving people from very different countries to communicate from the very beginning as if they were old friends. I appreciate your courtesy, friendliness and care for the house, the flowers and the garden. You have respected the rules of the house and loved every part of it. I get it! As for me, I did not do anything special, I just tried to give you an opportunity to live for even 10 days the nature and hospitality of Crete. You were great guests. I felt that you were my old friends, you left and you will come back next year! I would be delighted to welcome you!

Pleasant stay and spacious house

We had a pleasant stay in this house. We ´ve been very well received by Litsa. She gave us a lot of vegetables. The house is spacious and equiped to cook (except dishwasher). The area is quiet. Skaleta is a central situation to visit. Thanks again to Litsa.

Well-endowed house. Friendly hostess.

Very cozy and well-endowed house. Friendly hostess cooked delicious treats and gave vegetables grown in the garden. Location of the house in walking distance from the sea. Everything was wonderful. The only correction: the house is suitable for comfortable accommodation 4, not 5 people.

Ρesponsible guests. Enver and his family are a particularly serious and responsible family. They had a keen interest in the sights and local traditions of the island. The apartment was perfectly clean tidy. We would highly recommend them to every guest on Homeawαy. I just wanted to clarify that the house is 120 sq. Meters and the layout of the bedrooms is as follows: One bedroom with a double bed and a second with 2 semi-double beds (1.20 x2.00). Also in the office area (a little isolated from the living room) there is a sofa bed of the visitor (0.80x 2.00). Last year at this house stayed 5 and 7 people (3 children). semi beds

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, I am Litsa

Born and grown up in Crete like my parents.
I studied mathematics and computer science at the University of Athens.
After many years of studying and working in Athens, I finally decided to return back home, in Rethymno and live in the nature, near the sea and under the Cretan sun!!
My motto in life is "Read a lot, work hard, make the most of life, caring for each other, and enjoy while doing so!"
It is important to exchange experiences, knowledge and cultures!
I enjoy meeting people from around the world with different cultural background, offering them warm-hearted hospitality and giving guidance on how to find information, which will help them make their choices.
So, traveling and hosting can help develop our personalities and educate us, as well.
At home you will find an Electronic tourist guide with information and suggestions for various attractions (beaches, canyons, lakes, monasteries, museums, historic centers, archaeological sites, traditional villages, etc.).
Discover the wonderful island of Crete while having as a starting point the “cretasunset”.

I wish you to have unique experiences and great holiday in Crete!
Looking forward to welcoming you!
