Located in the traditional mountain village of Kastellos, Maria is the second largest house within a beautiful estate split into four. Guests are treated like royalty, a welcome that extends to the family-run restaurant in the village. While a modern-build, Maria has the characteristics and furnishings of a classical Cretan house, including a private veranda for outdoor dining and a swimming pool shared with guests from the other three houses. Two double bedrooms with en suite both have king-size beds and private balconies, while the loft contains two single beds. With Maria accommodating up to six guests, you’d expect the kitchen to be impressive, and it is. It comes fully stocked and includes a cooker with four hobs, a large fridge, and a filter coffee machine. Along with the living room, you’ll find plasma TVs in all the bedrooms. But who wants to watch TV when magical Kournas Lake is nearby, the restaurants and springs of Argyroupoli village are beckoning, and the vibrancy of Georgioupolis fishing village is calling you.
