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!

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.

Perfekt

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!

About the host

Hosted by Katsavelou Betty

My name is Betty Katsavelou. I have grown up and lived in Athens until 2009, when I followed my husband to Crete and started a small touristic business that keeps growing year by year! So, although a city and an office girl somehow I ended up being a farmer!!! Do I miss the office? Well now... sometimes I really do.. mostly getting ready to go to the office... wearing nice clothes, nice shoes, instead of boots and trucksuits all day long... what I do not miss is being on the phone for hours per day,talking about projects, making arrangements, pressing timelines, suffer hectic conversations about schedules and deadlines!!! Living in the country side, and specifically in our farmhouse consists in waking up in the morning, drinking my coffee accompanied by my horses or my goats or my hens or simply watching my goldfish swimming leisurely in the pond, taking care of them, feeding them, petting them and sharing my thoughts with them! It is so comforting how they agree with everything!!! Of course it is not always as easy as it sounds, yet it is so calming and curative! The animals can have such a healing effect on people! And what is more important is that being so close to them, watching their circle of life, as they grow up and give birth, is something that is hard to describe in words... the emotion while watching the goose open her wings and gather her babies underneath to protect them, or the goats giving birth and feeding their newborns, or the pigglets lying one next to the other on their mother's back!!! Precious moments as you get to feel the true meaning of life! As we have travelled a lot in the past years, we are full of wonderful experiences and we have never forgotten some of the people who accommodated us and really contributed to make our stay unforgettable. We want to do exactly the same for the people who visit us and trust us to make their holidays a great experience. We aim to help them enjoy the best out of their stay.

Why they chose this property

Join us and share the unique experience of living in a farm! The thrill of being a part of all that take place here. It is indeed so exciting, and so relaxing! 20.000 square meters giving you the privacy and the ability of wandering around, pick your favorite spots and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning while the birds are singing to you their past stories or their "to do list of the day" or enjoying a beer while watching the sun going down, scattering wonderful colors up on the sky. Join us while feeding or taking care of our small friends, let your kids play in our small playground, knock themselves out jumping on the trampoline. Feel happy and complete! Clear your minds and feel carefree! Relax at nights when everything is so peacefull and the lighted olive grove will surround you tenderly! Simple things in life that allow us to connect with our inner self! Our village happens to be an excellent starting point for interesting excursions! We will be glad to propose a few, depending how much time you are going to stay! Visit a new beach everyday, as Lefkogia village is located on the faschinating south coastline, and one beach follows the other and it goes on and on! Night life is only 5 km away if you 'd like to go out, restaurants, bars, cafe, baby sitting is available on request. Feel the authentic, live our truth, participate in it, otherwise why travel??? Meet the villagers, they are so welcoming people, that the majority of our guets always tell me to give them their greetings. Nature awaits you... Let the sun kiss you and the nights sing to you! Feel the breeze passing through your hair... breath... feel... Seek and get! Yes... you can have it all!!! Here... in Lefkogia farm, one of the most authentic and less touristic villages in South Crete!
