About this property
An enchanting antique stone villa in South Rethymno, 2 km away from the beach
Villa 5 Anemoi, an authentically old enchanting house that was build 150 years ago by our grandparents! While being rennovated most of the original materials were re-used in order to maintain its authentic shape and antiquity. Wood and stone as the dominant components of its construction contribute to a charming ambience which breaths out serenity! The traditional handmade furnishing ideally complement the atmosphere taking you back in time. The lines are kept austere in order to enhance inner peace without falling behind in providing comfort as well. At times when life goes rapidly forward, we somehow go back to simplicity, since simplicity to us is the definition of elegance. Feel the comfort along with the sense of returning to a simpler way of life! Meet your inner peace... With a living area of 170 square meters, divided over two floors, and an outside area that equals 125 square meters, Villa 5 Anemoi offers plenty of space to enjoy and relax without feeling bounded! The house's multiple entrances and exits, along with two adjascent to the main unit bedrooms with their own entrance, provides the guests with the ease of moving around without disturbing one another. The ground floor's layout ressembles to a crescent moon and houses the living room, the lounge, the kitchen, 2 bathrooms, the one internal and the other one external so that it can be used by the tenants of the bedroom that is adjascent to the main unit. The terrace is accessible by the kitchen, the bedroom of the ground floor and also by the lounge. An internal stairway leads to the upper 3 bedrooms who share a balcony, and are also accessible from an external stairway. What makes villa 5 Anemoi special is the fact that it is not yet another traditional rustic house, it is instead an authentically old house, preserved as it used to actually be in the previous century. Its furnishing and decoration were very carefully picked so that they would enhance its antiquity. The small bedroom of the upper floor but also the one on the ground floor ressemble to monastery cells. The dining area ressembles to a room of an old castle. Back in time people kept on adding rooms to their houses in order to fulfill their ongoing needs as their families were welcoming new members. That is what happened with villa 5 Anemoi until it ended up being a house that looks like a tiny village in its entirety. Villa 5 Anemoi is the house of our heart. Its quirqy construction and its scenical ambience consists it a house that it is simply impossible not to fall in love with!

Why they chose this property
Lefkogia village is a small, still very authentic cretan village, located in south Rethymno, near Plakias that used to be a vivid fishermens village, but nowadays turns rapidly into a vivid touristic spot without having lost its original charm. It is ideal for families or for people who want to retreat from the hustle and buffle of the hot touristic spots, yet maintaining the ability to be a part of it whenever they wish to. Lefkogia's most surprising feature is that even though being surrounded by a faschinating mountain scenery, it is actually only a breath away from 4 (out of the numerous beaches that follow one another forming the very interesting south coastline), magnifiscent beaches. Among the highlights of our area is the nearby majestic Kourtaliotis gorge, a gorge full of surprises that worth to be explored, and very well known for its wild beauty. The palm beach of Prevelis follows as yet another interesting spot worth being visited and is in a distance of 8 km. from the village. The restaurants of our region that have taken their dishes to the very next level offering delicious food at ...pretty reasonable prices! The nearby proffessional equestrian club that offers horse-riding lessons and also horse-riding excursions. The small churches up on the hills offering exquisite views on the slopes that end to the coastline. Last but not least, our 20.000 sq.m. farm with a mini zoo, consisted of our 2 friendly horses, Maya and Whiskey, hens, geese, rabbits, a pig, a cow (ocassionally), cats and a dog, all fenced in their own grounds. The farm is not open to the public, instead it is accessible only to our guests at Villa 5 Anemoi or the people who make a reservation at our holiday rentals situated on the location in order to preserve our guests' feeling of privacy and relaxation.
