Beautiful Stone Cottage with Sea and Mountain Views

Artemis house - its name taken after the ancient Greek goddess of the mountains and the forests - is a delightful stone cottage of unique character and architecture. Located at the foothils of the White Mountains it offers great mountain views and a good view to Georgioupolis beach.

This authentic village house has a very cosy interior made out of stone and wood in warm and fresh colours. The atmosphere of the house is very relaxing and the cypress trunks of the roof leave a fine nature smell. The floor is wooden in both levels of the house. The bedroom is in the upper level of the house, providing a beautiful wooden double bed and offering a view to the valley and Georgioupolis beach. The beautiful kitchen and living room are in the main level. The shower and WC in playful colours are in the main level too. Wooden cupboards are spacious both in kitchen and bedroom.

The location is very quiet, at the outskirts of a shepherds village called Melidoni. There are many interesting walks in the area, a gauge to visit, and of course more advanced walks up the mountain tops. We offer tips, guidebooks and a detailed map with all the walks. And of course the district of Apokoronas where the house is located is famous for Aptera (the archaelogical site), byzantine churches, Kalyves sandy beaches, tavernas in picturesque villages of Vamos, Armeni, Stylos, Fres and others.

The house is located 30 minutes from Hania (medieval port and city) and 40 minutes from Rethymnon medieval city. The long beaches where mainstream tourism goes to are also 25 minutes away from this quiet retereat. So you are close to everywhere in a unique place.

All friends who have stayed in this house ask to return.

Besides the maps and guide books, in the house you will find some basic dairy products in the fridge (milk and local cheese), bread, thyme honey and olive oil.

Bed linen are changed weekly while extra towels are stored inside the house for your convenience. The house is cleaned weekly.

Wonderful views
Pretty traditional house, edge of village, wonderful views. Comfortable for two people. Good shady parking, which is a definate plus. Lovely terrace and a little balcony overlooking sea and mountains, for tea, breakfast or apéro. Our second visit to this area, not disappointed.

Mountain retreat
We loved our stay in this magical mountain retreat. The charming house was beautiful inside and out. Very clean and comfortable. The secluded peaceful setting was so relaxing. We had a spectacular view of the full moon rising over the mountains. Our hosts, Stavros and Tatiana, were the best! Stavros is very knowledgeable about all there is to do and see on Crete.

An absolute gem!
A fantastic property for solo travellers or couples looking to get off the beaten track. The house has stunning views and is ideally situated to get to a range of locations across Western Crete. The house itself is lovely, nicely finished and spotlessly clean. Tatiana and Stavros are ideal hosts, providing excellent communication and a warm and friendly welcome. Thanks for a fantastic stay!

Wonderful, quiet and authentic
It was really nice up there in Melidoni in this marvelous solid stone house with a bright appearance and a tasteful interior. The bedroom's view is just amazing and Stavros and Tatiana were really nice (they welcomed us with bread, yoghurt and cookies :) ) The location is perfect when you don't want to be in the overcrowded chaos of the near-beach villages. If you like hiking this is perfect since the mountains are just behind the house. If not, its not really far (20 minutes) to the beaches. Apokoronas is the name of the region and it remained much more authentic then the touristic regions near the coast.
