Villa Niovi

The space Coming from a distant, old era, Paleloni is the ideal setting to live the holidays of your dreams in the heart of the authentic Crete, Apokoronas (in the northeast of the Prefecture of Chania). Encircled by the green vegetation, this small village consists of stone-built traditional houses that retain their special character over the centuries. The villa Niovi is located near the end of it and belongs for generations to the Trichakis family who renovated it with respect to the history and the natural environment of the area. Its privileged location ensures the visitor tranquility, satisfying all the senses, without having to renounce modern comforts. Stone and wood were used to give the sunny residence its former glory, preserving all those architectural elements of tradition that make it unique, as the upper floor with the wooden staircase or the interior perfectly preserved wood oven, the little diamond of the house. And while the discreet luxury of the interiors tries with pride to win the heart of every visitor, you have no choice but to surrender to the charm of the surrounding natural space that invites you to experience it throughout the day: the sound of the wind through the leaves, the relaxing shade of the olives trees, the aromas and the flavors of the Cretan land. The time of eating emerges as an opportunity to taste and smell Crete, utilizing the organic vegetables from the garden of the house. Although it is built at an altitude of 320 meters, in order to provide security from pirate attacks, Paleloni (from the words "old" and "threshing floor" indicating the existence of many threshing floors in the past) is only 4km away from a turquoise rocky cove, Obrogialos. An asphalt road leads to this little small paradise, ideal for sea getaways and scuba diving, away from the crowds of touristic and popular beaches of the surrounding area. It is precisely this combination of sea and mountain that makes the visit to Paleloni unique, any season of the year. And yes, somewhere here, in the shadow of the Lefka Ori, gazing at the blue of the sea, a poet have written: “Yes, Paradise was not a nostalgia. Nor, much less, a reward. It was a right.” Other things to note Outdoor private bathroom next to the door of house. Registration details 00001602086
