Lefkogia Cottage in a farm! Only 1 km from the beach. Yes! You can have it all!

A lovely cottage located in our farm, in Lefkogia village, surrounded by a spectacular mountain scenery as well as amazing beaches, one after the other forming the magnifiscent coatsline of South Crete! Three of them in a distance of 1 km away, and it goes on and on! One thing is for sure... You will not get bored, because each day at the farm is a different one! Lefkogia cottage, a two storey house, with a pleasant lounge, a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom on the ground floor. Two spacious bedrooms on the upper floor. Cosy, functional and sunny, as the sun caresses it during all day! With access not only to a spacious terrace, but also to Lefkogia farm that expands in 5 acres.. An ideal place for families, nature lovers, and people who seek the authentic experiences out of their travels.
Enjoy your breakfast on the terrace listening to the birds' singing their "to do list" of each day! Start your days by greeting all kinds of animals, such as pigs, goats, hens, geese, turkeys, dogs, cats, horses! Join us in our daily routine while feeding and cleaning them if you d'like! You are more than welcome to live our truth and enjoy carefree moments and the healing feeling indeed of tending these ...crazy charmers! Wonder through the farm and pick your favorite spots, enjoying your coffee by the small artificial pond while watching the goldfish, or by the round pen while watching Whiskey excercise, or by the small playground for our youngest friends. Feel free, feel carefree, add unique moments in your holiday memories, relax and detox! Nature can do this for us, and it is among its most precious gifts... detoxing us! Feel the calmness, feel the inner peace, feel gifted!!! It is all about feeling after all...
Enjoy your privacy, and share precious moments with your families or friends. Take back home cherrished memories!
Visit us in Spring, when everything is dressed up in green and enjoy long walks through wonderful footpaths of Lefkogia, up on the hills or towards the seaside, or even in November when it is the season that we are harvesting the olive trees! You are most certainly welcome and you will absolutely love it!

If Carlsberg did holiday homes...
It's hard to put in words how wonderful our stay was at Lefkogia Farm. Betty and Hlias were excellent hosts who were very helpful from start to finish. The farm is beautiful and the animals were wonderful to be around. Our 20month old daughter loved them. It's a delightful part of Crete with lots of wonderful beaches very close by. Every restaurant recommendation they gave was brilliant. Delicious fresh food and excellent service as is the way in Greece. In terms of the property, it was very clean and very comfortable. The photos don't do it justice. It's no accident that this place is so highly rated and we wouldn't hesitate recommending it to anyone whether as a writing retreat, as a couple or as a family. We will return!

Villa Ostria in Lefkogia Farm is one of the best homes we stayed ever!
We have just came back from a wonderful vacation in south Crete, much of it thanks to the lovely place we stayed at. Villa Ostria is most welcoming - comfortable, very nice designed and decorated and very cozy. Wonderful Betty is continently taking care of all the rest to give her guests the best hospitality ever (a treasures welcoming basket, fresh eggs from the farm, her own made fantastic Mille Feuille... etc.). The farm is located in a beautiful area, spectacular views and very close to more than one lovely beaches. Altogether, most most recommended!

Fantastic accommodation, amazing host, definitely to come back very soon!
Our family came to Lefkogia, Crete, Greece for a traditional Greek wedding of our dearest friends from New York, professor Pavlos Kollias and Katia Lamer, in August 2018, and we privileged to have a truly fantastic accommodation. The host Betty was absolutely amazing, the lovely house and happy farm were very welcoming and clean. We had the best holidays ever surrounded by gorgeous beaches, deep blue sea, mouthwatering restaurants, breathtaking sightseeings, indeed everything, our big family could have ever imagined and beyond. We will be back to stay in Lefkogia farm next year, also for a wedding reunion. Just day dreaming of our wonderful day. Much love and respect to Greece!

Perfect family stay in Crete
Betty and Agios were incredible hosts and know the area and the locals very well. The home was very comfortable with great WiFi and other amenities. Our family of five loved to help feed the animals and the kids loved the opportunity to ride their beautiful horse, Whiskey. The area was fantastic - the town was walking distance and within a ten minute drive, there were about 8 beaches. We would come and stay again.

Lovely villa in a peaceful garden, great views and nearby to stunning beaches
Villa Ostria, in Lefkogia was a perfect place to stay as a family/ with young children as the kids could play in the olive grove/ garden which was very peaceful. There was play equipment/ trampoline and the hosts also keep farm animals - our kids were able to feed the animals and were really taken with the puppies/ chicks/ baby rabbits etc. There are many fantastic beaches to explore along the coast nearby and the scenic walk down to the nearest cove was magical in the evening. There are also spectacular walks/ drives nearby - and we particularly enjoyed the nearby gorge. Lefkogia is not far from the Villa and the food at the tavernas was very good and reasonably priced so we ate out more than we planned to. The Villa itself was very well presented/ equipped, the views from the veranda were beautiful and we felt very relaxed sitting outside looking at the garden/ mountains. The hosts could not have been more helpful - they helped us out with recommendations, were attentive to any needs we had, made us feel very welcome and were very kind in letting the children experience the animals on the farm. Overall, it was a great base to explore a wonderful part of Crete and I would definitely recommend.

Wunderschönes Ferienhaus auf großer Farm. Die Gastgeber Betty und Elias haben sich viel Zeit genommen und uns gut mit Tips zu Ausflügen, Flora und Fauna versorgt. Die Kinder hatten Freude an den Farmtieren. Sehr sauber, gerne wieder!

Top Reiseziel für entspannten Familienurlaub!
Sehr saubere und liebevoll dekorierte Ferienwohnung mit allem was man braucht! Schöner Garten mit vielen Sitzecken und Hängematten. Sehr nette und offene Gastgeber - die Kinder haben es geliebt, gemeinsam mit Hlias die Tiere zu versorgen! Vielen Dank! 5 Minuten mit dem Auto oder 20 min zu Fuß zu mehreren schönen Stränden. Perfekte Urlaubslocation für Familien, die nicht mitten im Trubel des Ortes sein wollen...
