Two 18th century traditional stone houses, only recently (2016) lovingly converted into modern private pool villas, in a secluded area with much privacy These two fully detached holiday villas lie on the hillside of the picturesque village of Achlades, affording magnificent views of the surrounding olive groves and vineyards. They are in a secluded area, approximately 25 km east of Rethymno town. The villas offer an ideal destination-choice for a memorable, relaxing vacation in the Cretan countryside, just 6 km and 10 km away respectively from the lovely sandy beaches of Panormo and Bali. The traditional residences of the mid 18th century have only recently been fully renovated in 2016. They are in complete harmony with the environment, thanks to the careful restoration which turned them in two luxurious, fully equipped villas, unique for long breaks on the beautiful island of Crete. The local materials that were used for the remodelling of the villas include untreated stones, tiles of the interwar era, cypress trunks and handmade bricks and an old trough, adhering to the traditional architecture and respecting the residence’s history. The traditional elements and their authentic character were preserved and highlighted throughout the villas: some exquisite pieces of furniture carefully restored, wall arches, wooden floors and ceilings, creating unique ambient spaces of high aesthetics.
