| Photo gallery | | | | | | | Accommodation Overview |
Villa Agni is situated in Kastri, a small village in the altitude of 360m, in the foothills of Psiloritis mountain. The village was one of the military defense centres of Crete during the Byzantine era and the Venetian occupation. A romantic traveller could easily imagine the Ancient Greek goddess Artemis being worshiped in such a house. Built on the edge of Koukoumianos gorge, it was the owner's George Hatzidakis, birthplace. The renovation of the house finished in 1995. It is a comfortable, 150 years old house, with elements borrowed from the noble houses of its time.
The main house is 160 sq.m. The 50 sq.m sitting room has a view of Tallaia mountains and Psiloritis, as well as of the gorge. There are 4 bedrooms, two with double beds and two with 2single beds each, which can accommodate 8 persons. There are 2 en-suite bathrooms. The outdoor part of the house spreads into 4 acres of terraces, with dense vegetation, a kiosk, paved courtyards, hidden corners and a 40sqm swimming pool with a view of the mountains and the lush green landscape. You will definitely feel the magic of Cretan nature.
Villa Agni has got all the modern equipment in order to satisfy even the most demanding guest, as well as traditional fireplaces and wooden ovens. The garden, with its organic grown vegetables for your salads, will give you a small taste of the gifts of the Cretan land.
You can take a walk outside through the friendly village and admire the unique architecture of the place as well as the nature.
You can enjoy a swim in Panormo, a village 15 kms away. The small town of Perama, just 10 kms away, is a complete shopping centre with banks, post office, health centre etc. Rethymnon is 39 kms away, and the distance from the two main Airports of Crete is 70 km for Heraklion and 100 km for Chania .
* The name 'Agni' was given in honour of the daughter of the Byzantine noble of the area, Alexios Kallergis, who went down in history for her generosity.
