About this property

Private paradise with heated pool, wonderful view and large garden

Welcome! Villa Petra. The villa is recognized by the Greek National Tourism Organization (GNTO) NR. 1039K91003011201
 is a beautiful, classic, traditional mansion from the 19th Century. Made entirely of stone. The property has an exquisite garden, a variety of colorful plants and trees together with a well-kept lawn impress even the most demanding eye.
The house was renovated in 2012 with the greatest care, taking into account the Cretan architecture and traditional construction. Historical and ecological building materials such as stone and wood were used.

This traditional, Cretan villa offers enough space for up to 6 people on two floors.

The top floor offers a spacious living-dining area, 2 bedrooms, one with a double bed, one with two single beds, 1 bathroom with shower cabin and modern hydromassage, a fully equipped kitchen with washing machine-dishwasher, 2 balconies and a large terrace with an indescribable view of the Libyan Sea. On the lower floor there is a double bedroom, a kitchen and a living room. All three bedrooms are air-conditioned. All windows in the villa have mosquito nets so you can always enjoy the fresh air of the village.
The interior of the villa is carefully designed to reflect its long history and social status from its first owner. Viennese furniture and antiques create a warm and elegant ambience in keeping with the character of the house.
The villa offers an indescribable view of the Libyan Sea, the fertile Messara plain and the Ida Mountains.

Unforgettable sunsets can be enjoyed in the spacious, park-like garden. Many shady seating areas, some made of natural stone, invite you to relax in the quiet village of Kalochorafitis.

On the spacious covered terrace you can enjoy a strengthening breakfast with fresh fruits, honey, cheese and vegetables from Cretan nature.

Enjoy a refreshing dip in the private pool on hot summer days. There are numerous sun and shade spots in the garden for relaxation.

Especially in the evening after sunset, the entire property is wonderfully illuminated and shines in a special shine.

The villa is ideally equipped for 2 families or a group.

On arrival you will receive a welcome greeting consisting of seasonal fruits and vegetables, as well as fresh mineral water.

During your stay, we provide you with our own organic olive oil free of charge. Bed linen and towels are changed 3 times in two weeks - all costs and taxes of Villa Petra for the duration of your stay are included in the price - WiFi, electricity, hot water, cooling or heating, air conditioning.

Wunderbarer Garten
Der Aufenthalt in Vagelis Elternhaus im Dorf hat uns insgesamt gut gefallen. Die Inneneinrichtung ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber die Wohnung, die wir bewohnt haben (es ist die größere der beiden mit 2 Schlafräumen) war liebevoll bestückt - so wie es andere schon berichtet haben. Vagelis ist zuverlässig und sehr freundlich. Der Garten mit dem kleinen Pool ist wunderbar und konnte von uns auch schon im April genutzt werden. Der Sternenhimmel ist fantastisch, der Blick ebenso, die nächtliche Stille auch - wenn nicht manchmal ein Hund die Nacht durchbellt. Von diesen Einschränkungen abgesehen, hatten wir dennoch eine schöne Zeit, haben vor allem den Garten sehr genossen, der paradiesisch ist.

5 Sterne für Villa & Gastgeber
Als wir abends gegen 22 Uhr ankamen, hat uns unser Gastgeber Vangelis schon in der Villa Petra erwartet. Er erklärte uns alles in Haus und Garten und war auch in den kommenden Tagen jederzeit für uns erreichbar. Der Kühlschrank war reichlich gefüllt mit frischem Obst und Gemüse, es gab Brot, Süßigkeiten, Kaffee, Tee, Wasser und Wein. Auch von seinem leckeren Olivenöl war ausreichend vorhanden, sogar Waschmittel, Weichspüler, Spülertabs - alles sehr liebevoll und großzügig vorbereitet. Die Bäder in beiden Etagen sind klein aber funktional, die Zimmer gut eingerichtet. Der Garten mit dem Pool ist grandios, abends wunderschön beleuchtet. Von dort und der Terrasse im Obergeschoss gibt es eine phantastische Sicht bis zum Meer. Und jeden Abend haben wir die Rufe der Zwergohreulen gehört. Wir hatten einen wunderschönen und erholsamen Urlaub in der Villa Petra, senden nochmals herzliche Dankesgrüße an Vangelis.

Villa Perla - grandios
Die Anlage ist ein Traumidyll. Ein riesiger Garten mit beheizbarem Pool war für unsere Enkelkinder, neben den täglich geernteten Grantäpfeln das Größte. Bei unserer Ankunft hat uns der Hausherr, Vageliss, alles gezeigt. Der Kühlschrank war gefüllt mit kühlen Getränken, Gurken und Tomaten. Auf dem Tisch stand eine Schale mit Obst. Wir fühlten uns gleich sehr wohl. Bei hochsommerlichen Temperaturen hatten wir eine wundervolle Woche und haben Land und Leute kennengelernt. Nochmals vielen Dank für Alles

Better than expected
We were here with two kids (2/5) and it was just perfect. The house and the garden are just wonderful- better than on the pictures on the webside. Also inside...its all clean and pretty. Thank you so much for that stay dear Vangelis.
