🏡 Welcome to Your Charming Retreat – A Home Steeped in Love & History This lovingly restored house was once my grandfather’s, and we’ve carefully renewed it—blending modern comforts with the soulful charm of the past. Every corner tells a story, inviting you to unwind in a space that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly welcoming. 🍳 A Kitchen Full of Warmth & Convenience The fully equipped kitchen is a delight for home chefs, featuring modern appliances alongside a spacious refrigerator. Whether you're brewing morning coffee or preparing a hearty meal, it’s designed to make cooking feel effortless and joyful. 🛋️ A Living Room Made for Relaxation Step into the spacious sitting room, where the sofa bed invites you to sink in after a day of adventures. Curl up with a book, share stories by soft lamplight, or let extra guests rest in comfort—this space is as versatile as it is cozy. 🛌 Sleeping Nooks Designed with Care The Private Bedroom: A serene sanctuary with a double bed (150x200), dressed in crisp, soft linens to ensure restful nights. The Enchanting Loft: A whimsical hideaway under the sloping roof, where two beds—a single (90x200) and a semi-double (120x190)—create a snug, nest-like escape. (Perfect for kids or extra guests!) 🔨 A Thoughtful Restoration – Where Old Meets New We renovated this house with deep affection, preserving its rustic soul while adding modern touches. The original low ceilings (the loft’s height is 153 cm, and the bedroom door is 70x160) were kept intentionally—a sweet reminder of simpler times. Just mind your head as you move about; it’s all part of the charm! 🚿 Fresh & Functional Bathroom Though located just outside the front door (a nod to traditional village homes), the bathroom is spotless and well-stocked with fresh towels and essentials for your comfort. 🌿 Your Private Outdoor Space Step into the sun-kissed outdoor space, where a rustic barbecue awaits your culinary creations.
🏡 Heart of Zaros, Steps from Everything Live like a local in our charming house on Ano Zaros’ lively square—surrounded by tavernas serving grandma’s recipes, fragrant bakeries, and cozy cafes. Find everything within steps: grocery shops, butchers with fresh meat, and gift stores with Cretan treasures. Just 5 minutes by car, escape to serene Lake Votomos—perfect for morning walks or sunset picnics. The best of Crete—vibrant culture & nature—right at your doorstep.
