Villa Angelica used to be a traditional village house, where three generations grew up. It was the grand-fathers house, Michalis, who is today’s owner that decided to revive his childhood experiences and then share it with friends from all over the world.

The villa has three levels that can be also used independently. It can accommodate up to 12 people. The ground floor has a large hall, resembling a warm family hug, just like it used to be in the past. The fireplace dominates the room having a monastery rectangular dining table in front of it and a comfortable seating area just next to it.

Α traditional arcade that is made of stone helps to divide up the room and leads to a fully equipped kitchen with high butcher’s table and stools. There are two spacious bedrooms that can accommodate up to four people and two bathrooms with glass showers. On the second floor, lies the villa’s main area; three luxury bedrooms with one bathroom and a large living room with fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen and a large terrace that offers exceptional views.

Hidden inside the rock lies the outdoor heated pool that provides absolute privacy and a large area with wooden deck, an outdoor shower and luxurious sun loungers The third floor has the master bedroom that comes with an en-suite bathroom and its own private terrace offering exceptional panoramic views of the village and the surrounding mountains.

The original house was built in 1935; the choice of location was made taking into consideration its protection from the weather phenomena, its panoramic mountain views, and the proximity to the centre; at the same time it is in an extremely quiet location, as it is located at the edge of the village. The house was originally built of stone, from the quarry that belongs to the craftsman from Meronas – which still exists and is open to visitors – and which was carved for this purpose. The strong material of the stone is highlighted and reinforced so as to integrate the villa into its rocky surroundings. New arched openings from stone were built with a reference to the traditional Cretan architecture. The selection of materials, textures and colours give a sense of harmony between the new and the old as well as the natural landscape.
