The Stone Fox Crete

Property Description

Nestled in an inland village just a short drive from the beautiful Kalives beach and the ancient archaeological site of Aptera, this traditional stone villa offers a sense of unique charm with a splash of modern comfort. The home centres around the elegant courtyard with its pool patio, loungers, and covered sun bed allowing guests to make the most of the Mediterranean sunshine, though it’s worth noting these are partially overlooked by a neighbouring home. Inside, we find the mix of exposed timber and stone, and the fireplace and lambskin throws provide a truly local ambience while offering ample space and comfort for a family or small group of friends.

Home truths:
*Guests nine and ten will be sleeping on a hideaway bed
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, and there are exterior and interior open-sided staircases so children will need to be supervised at all times
*While there is no desk, there are multiple tables that can double as laptop-friendly workspaces
*We recommend hiring a car to further explore the island – on-site parking is available
*Your host can provide a complimentary cot and high chair – this must be requested at the time of booking, and you’ll need to bring your own cot linen
