Fantastisk hus til mange personer

Vi fik en fin velkomst af Dimitris, som viste os rundt og forklarede. Huset er fantastisk med værelser og terrasser i flere niveauer. Huset ligger i rolige omgivelser. Kan anbefales

a fantastic villa-complex with total privacy

In the beginning of june 2016 we spent 8 wonderful days in Villa Athina. We were three generations: father with his three grown up children and five grandchildren between 10 and 17 years. Alltogether 12 persons! The Villa is situated in the heart of a little historical Cretan village Loutra and is beautifully framed by arcaic olive groves. The villa is surrounded on two sides by a whitewashed wall and there in the gate stood Mr. Costas Kallergi himself, friendly welcomimg us and showing us around in the gardenlike and beautifully renovated villa-complex. Very impressing were the many terraces, embedded in lush greenery, on different levels with access to the suite-like bedrooms, all equipped with bathroom and kitchinette with fridge. From the garden-level with a little pool (highly appreciated by the youngest) a few steps lead up to the large dining terrace next to the new stonewalled grill, nestled in wineleafs. In the same level, via a little charming tree-shadowed patio, you come to the kitchen with a very high standard of equipments. It was in open connection with the large inside area for leisure with sofas, piano, fireplace, TV etc. In the kitchen was a generous fruit-basqet welcoming us, in the fridge a lot of juices, cheeses, wine etc. This generous gesture was very appriciated. Villa Athina was perfect for us, it never felt crowded though we were so many people. In the evening we all had dinner on the terrace, our Chef des Rotisseurs was handling the grill, preparing lamb, fish or vedgetables while tasting the local wine. Fresh fish and lambsmeat we found in Rethymnon market in 15 min distance. After dinner we could just relax with a nice mixture of leisure activities in groups or together. From the comfortable easychairs on the upper terrace we could have a drink while enjoying the sunset over the sea. The last evening we had an unforgettable supper in the neighbourhood in a paradise-like taverna where we could follow the preparing of all kind of Cretan dishes. All herbs, vedgetables, fruits were from their garden. The lamb was rosted in the outdoor kitchen, the magic smell of rosemary and garlic made us euforic and we enjoyed the dinner under the pergola while the sun set over the sea of King Minos. Finally, we all are very greatful to Costas, Dimitrios and Andreas for their hostility during our stay. For us all it has become a memory for lifetime.

Fantastic stay in a fantastic place

Villa Athena is a great place to stay. It is a villa with all comfort you could ask for. Spacious enough to host 13 adults and two (very small) kids even. It is decorated inside and outside with so much attention to detail. We enjoyed our stay tremendously and will definitely stay in the villa again, should we come back to Crete. Thank you again for the lovely, warm and overwelming hospitality!

Wonderful Villa for a great holiday!

We spent a 4 generation family vacation in Kallergi villa. It was the perfect place for 10 adults (including my 86 year old grandfather) and 2 babies. The location made touring the island very comfortable, the villa itself was beautiful, quiet and spacious. Every room had a private en-suite bathroom (of the 5 we used) and Costas was a wonderful host- even brought a birthday cake!!! We found the villa well equipped, including a big jar of olive oil, wine and milk. it was the perfect family vacation!

A wonderful house

We all had a very good vacation in Villa Athena. The house - whow! Just perfect for us. To be able to be private and at the same time have theese marvellous spaces together. This labyrinth-like house has a great charm. The kids (12, 5, 5, 3 years old) loved the pool, of course. The house was very clean and everything functioned well. The landlord´s kindness and thoughtfullness warmed us. He also succeded in getting some french words out of us. I belive we understood eachother to a sufficient extent. We had some meals at the taverna, some distance away. Very good and nice. Several times we ordered food from delivery-service which was surprisingly good, fast and cheap. And we had very nice meals together at the lovely terrace. My wife and I walked around in the area and later in the afternoons joined the others at the beach. Much more left to see, of course, but we experienced much. So my wife and I, the two daughters with husband/boyfriend and the children had a wonderful time. Efcharisto poly (or however you would spell that).

About the host

Hosted by Dimitrios

Hi! My name is Dimitrios,

My Father and I along with my Mother and Brother have been renting our two luxury villas out to worldwide holidaymakers for the last 15 years. The two villas are located actually next to each other which were formerly 5 medieval houses of the village of Loutra. They have great history and beautiful features. The villas are completely separate but we do have guests that rent both of them if they are large groups of people for family holidays/ wedding events or corporate company team events. We can accommodate you all.

We love welcoming guests to the town and actually use several holiday websites for reservations, Homeaway being one of them.

If you have any questions organizing your holidays my family and I will be happy to assist you at all times.

Why they chose this property

Villa Athena Kallergi is designed over 4 levels in simple, austere lines and subtle luxury in harmony with the natural landscape and the olive groves surrounding the village. This property can host up to guests.

We have provided lots of photographs to give you a clear idea of what the property looks like but below are some further details.

What makes this property unique

The village is situated in the midst of olive groves with an endless view to the sea, full of Greek colors, narrow cobbled streets and never-ending bougainvillea plants, Venetian buildings and the blazons of the Kallergi family – evidence of a monumental era. In the best part of the village, the Kallergi villas await holidaymakers, offering a combination of the traditional Cretan hospitality with modern luxury and comfort.
