The absolutely tranquil location of this unique construction is the perfect base for exploring the area. In very close proximity Phaistos, Matala, Kamilari, the Good Ports, where the treasures of history unfold to reveal the finest examples of the Minoan and Classical period. The endless beaches and the renowned climate of the area complete the enchanting picture.

The complex "Phaistos Villas" is composed of a series of simple lines and authentic materials, which preserves the Cretan character and is an integral part of the settlement. Due to the sloping terrain, the surrounding area of ​​the three houses is formed on three different levels. The creation of different levels gives each home an unobstructed view, independence and privacy. All three houses have the right to use the pool and its surroundings.

The architectural design of the houses was made in keeping with the local traditional character of the area, but also with the needs of modern living. The houses were built with the utmost care and respect for the natural environment using local stone and traditional design elements. The 40 sqm 2 pool - 1.5 m deep - is located in the middle of the complex, providing easy access to all residences. The villas can be rented individually or together to accommodate larger groups.
