About this property

Traditional cottage with panoramic view. Ideal for couples and families.

Fenareti's house is located in a small village of Apokoronas in Chania. The calmness of the village in combination with the beauty of the nature make the accommodation really pleasing. The house has a special architectural style as it is built amphitheatrically on the roots of a mountain and its spaces are shaped in different levels. The main construction materials of the house are wood and stones, offering a unique sense of relaxation and tranquillity.

At its about 130 sqm Fenareti offers a big sitting room with fireplace and two stone sofas, a full comforted kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. At the lower level of the house is located the second bedroom with beautiful view at the sea and the village's champaign.

Fenareti's house is available all year round. The property is ideal for couples, families and groups of friends who look for something special and want to avoid clamorousness towns and live the traditional way of life at a traditional Crete village.

Apokoronas brief history: Apokoronas is one of the five provinces of Chania Prefecture, in its Northeastern part. During the ancient times the word 'Apokoronas' is not at all mentioned. The only thing names that are mentioned are those of the villages of the province. During the Byzantine Era there is a reference of the name of the region as a village. As a Province it is referred to the Venetian Occupation of Crete, however, without knowing the exact limits of the area at that time. As a toponymy it is mentioned as 'Apikonna' in the Convention between the Byzantine General Vatatzis and the Duke of Crete Ioustiani in 1236.

Neo Horio and nearby: Neo Horio, 24km from the town of Chania, rests comfortably against the side of a hill overlooking a lush valley of olive and orange groves. Its name means 'New village', and that because it was built in the ruins of a village destroyed by invaders of Crete. In the center of the village several 'kafeneia' (coffee shops) are located who serve coffes, refreshments and drinks, and from the evening the bake the most famous souvlaki in Crete!
From the top of Neo Horio, if you look northwards over the valley you can see the azure waters of the Mediterranean, about 4km away, glimmering under the glory of the sun. There lies the coastal village of Kalyves. However, nestled in the valley between Kalyves and Neo Horio lies the village of Armenous with its famous underground springs of water, and its traditional restaurants

Fenareti’ s House constructed in 1780, at the centre of Neo Horio. It was built in three levels according to the slope of the ground.

Sehr gute Lage
Ausgesprochen freundliche Vermieter. Dad Haus ist sehr gut gelegen in kleinem Dorf und herrlicher Umgebung. Trotzdem nur wenige Minuten vom Strand, Chania und Rethymno. Sehr schöne Tavernen im Dorf und im Nachbardorf mit ausgezeichnetem griechischem Essen

Great Location in authentic Crete village
We have stayed here on previous occasions. As before we had a very enjoyable time. The house was spotless and there was plenty of room with everything in working order. Location was very good with lovely views. All in all a very pleasant experience.

Charming traditional house overlooking a sea of olive trees and the actual sea in the distance.
Living and sleeping areas on 4 levels. Two bathrooms with basic amenities. Supplies for breakfast were helpfullly provided! Lovely traditional decor throughout. Two outdoor terraces with nice views of the valley below. Walking distance to Neo Chorio village down the hill. Helpful and friendly host who drove back to the house from Chania without complaint when we locked ourselves out by accident. Excellent cleaning service midway through our stay. Drawback: Stairs to lower bedroom have no rails, and bathrooms are on levels above--hard to manage at night. Parking is available but tight, and the access road to the house is narrow. Overall, a nice place to stay, off the beaten track.

Excellent house
Loved the location and the house, especially the patio. Great little garden. Georgia who met us was great and we enjoyed the supplies provided. For Americans, the bed for 2 is a small double. Other beds are singles. Also there are stair steps into every room in the house and no rails. Not good for children or unsteady folks.

Lovely villa in a great location
We had a great holiday in this apartment in a traditional Cretan village. It is lovely and spacious and has a large sunny terrace with a lemon tree and shady grapevine and a wonderful view. Kalyves is a nice little seaside town just a few minutes away by car and has several good seafront retaurants and sandy beaches. The nearby town of Chania is also very picturesque and with a beautiful harbour and there are plenty of places to go in this part of Crete: spectacular beaches, a water park and ancient sites. The Fenareti's were very hospitable and helpful and cleaned the apartment for us regularly.
