One terrace down the hillside, the lower guesthouse shares the same quiet architecture: an earth-covered roof, board-formed concrete wings, and floor-to-ceiling glass framing the mountains and the sea. Guests keep telling us the same thing — it's very hard to leave.
The guesthouse is split into a bedroom and a living room, with the bathroom between them. In the bedroom: a queen-sized Cocomat bed — better than the one at home, guests tell us — with a selection of pillows from firm to soft.
The living room couch is also a Cocomat mattress that comfortably sleeps one adult as a single bed; we provide bedding for it on request. Traveling with small children? A crib and a kids' mattress are available.
The patio faces the mountains and valley — the natural home of morning coffee — and there's a secluded outdoor shower for warm evenings under the stars.
The kitchen is compact but properly equipped — you won't be missing anything. The sink has a second tap for reverse-osmosis filtered drinking water, and the coffee setup is serious: espresso machine, moka pot, cold brew bottle, grinder, and beans from Stratos at Caffeine in Timbaki.
The earth-covered roof keeps the space naturally cool in summer and cozy in winter, with in-floor heating for chilly mornings. It's a place built for slow days — pool, beach, taverna, repeat.
Booking direct costs you less than Airbnb — we split the fee difference with you.
"We had booked the lower house — perfect for 2 people. Everything was super clean and we felt at home straight away. The view is fantastic and the houses — despite their modernity — fit perfectly into the classic landscape. It's the perfect place to soak up the south of Crete."
