Stylish Villa with Heated Pool, Jacuzzi, Gym & Superb Views

A design-forward villa in Crete’s heartland, where serenity meets style — with a hottub balcony, a heated pool (extra charge applies), and an awe-inspiring natural setting that will stay with you long after your stay.

Overview
Archontiki Veranda is a modern sanctuary located in the heart of the traditional Cretan village of Archontiki. This carefully curated villa blends contemporary aesthetics with the calming rhythm of the landscape. Surrounded by olive groves, rugged mountains, and distant sea views, it offers an atmosphere of gentle luxury and authentic serenity. Perfect for couples, families, or small groups who wish to truly unwind, Archontiki Veranda doesn’t just offer a stay — it creates a memory rooted in peace, privacy, and a genuine connection with the island.

The Space
The villa spans two levels and is thoughtfully divided to offer a harmonious balance between shared living and personal retreat. Every detail has been chosen with intention and heart, allowing natural light and the surrounding beauty to take center stage.
On the right wing, two serene bedrooms each feature their own private bathrooms. The ground-floor bedroom offers step-free access, making it ideal for guests of all mobility levels. Upstairs, the second bedroom opens to a private balcony with an outdoor jacuzzi. Discreetly positioned, it creates a personal spa corner with open views stretching across the valley — a space made for stillness and sky-gazing.
At the villa’s center lies a wide, accessible entryway that connects both sides of the house and the backyard with the amazing view. It functions as a quiet threshold between the relaxing and the social zones, creating natural flow and comfort.
On the left, the open-plan living area and kitchen form a bright and welcoming space to cook, gather, and unwind. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, while the living room features a comfortable sofa and a smart TV. Two large balcony doors flood the space with daylight and lead your gaze straight out into nature. A charming loft with its own ensuite sits just above, perfect for teens, friends, or guests who enjoy quiet privacy.
Throughout the interior, soft lighting, natural materials, and clean architectural lines create a warm, minimal elegance. The bathrooms include rain showers, anti-fog illuminated mirrors, and curated fixtures that elevate the everyday.

Outdoors
Step outside, and you’ll find where nature and design converge. The 28-square-meter heated pool is perfectly placed to frame the panoramic views. Whether basking in the morning light or enjoying the sunset reflections, this space becomes a central part of your days — a place to drift, cool down, or sip wine with your feet in the water.
Next to the pool, a large veranda invites you to dine under the stars. The stone garden unfolds with spaces for both rest and activity. An outdoor BBQ area lets you explore the flavors of Crete, while a small open-air gym encourages movement — with views that will make even stretching feel special.
A shaded lounge beneath the trees, with beanbag seating and quiet, becomes the ideal spot for morning coffee or conversation. And a handcrafted swing set adds a joyful, nostalgic touch — for kids, or for grown-ups who remember how to swing.
Please note: there is no private parking, but free public parking is available nearby.

Archontiki Veranda is more than a villa — it’s a curated experience of Cretan living. The heated pool allows year-round comfort. The layout offers balance: space to connect and space to retreat. And the location itself offers that rare sense of being away from it all, while still just a short drive from southern beaches, local tavernas, and hidden walking trails.
Whether you're seeking digital detox, a slow travel experience, or a few precious days of peace and design, Archontiki Veranda invites you to pause, breathe, and feel held by the land.
We are here to take care of the details — and welcome you the way we would welcome friends into our home.
