A glorious 19th-century manor house with a beautiful private pool

Villa Antigoni is an ideal house rental for a large family or a group of friends, ideally with children, that can even spend memorable times in the special tree house or at the protected part of the pool.
The Villa is a masterpiece of style combining rustic charm with interior chic.The garden filled with flowers and various trees and a hippy-deluxe house with dashes of Parisian style. The vegetation all around the villa is like a virgin forest, forming a natural barrier between your poetic world and an all-too-present reality. Life at this house revolves around the terraces and the pool.
This holiday home stands like an ancient fort among the old olive and orange trees. The color of the exterior stucco was taken directly from the land surrounding the house. The extended vine covered pergola on the stone pavement in front of the property is the perfect venue for long lunches after a morning by the infinity pool where there is yet another pergola as well as a traditional wooden oven and barbeque.
This impressive property is situated five-ten minutes from the endless north coastline of the island and the famous retreat of Platanias with all amenities you may need.
Beautifully renovated, stylish and sophisticated, the house has 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms in the main building and an independent guest house that holds one more bedroom one bathroom, living room and kitchen.
This beautiful villa is generously furnished with handsome antiques as well as comfortable and classic modern seating, beautiful paintings, sculpture and decorations throughout. High ceilings with rhythmic wood beams give definition to the large open-plan living spaces, which flow together and the glass facade allows the quests to enjoy the landscape and also enables natural light to flood into the interior. Rooms take on a monastic simplicity, and invite repose and quietness while enjoying magnificent views of the immediate landscape and the sea.
The main house ground floor living, dining, and kitchen areas were combined in a single, long room on the ground floor that takes advantage of the spectacular view of the sea. The wooden beams are a recurring element throughout most of the house, running along the length of the ceiling; they represent an attempt to keep in touch with tradition.

Great stay
Villa and everything about the property is as you can see on photos. House is huge, 3 bedrooms, big living room, kitchen is on the small side but has everything. We didn't even go into the pool house but I believe people can sleep there as well. Terrace outside with the garden is really nice and spacious. Pool is fantastic and clean. Manolis (the manager) was great, he welcomed us at the house, gave us a few tips and was ready to help whenever needed. Location of the house is in a tiny village, it's surrounded with houses of local people but they keep to themselves and don't bother you with anything. Having a car is almost a must because the closest store is 5min drive away down the hill. All in all, great experience and we'll be coming back.

Lovely house with terrific view
3 generations of our family stayed at the villa and we all enjoyed it very much. The property owner left us a generous selection of fruit, juice and wine. The pool is excellent, our nearly 4 year old grandson’s swimming improved a lot during our stay. It’s a very spacious house with a lovely garden.

Ten Day Much Needed Family Holiday
This property is fantastic. The whole ten days exceeded our expectations and we could not believe our luck. Much of the holiday was spent just lounging around the pool and enjoying meals together at the villa. The manager Manolis was on hand if needed and his laid back, friendly manner added to the whole experience. I would definitely come back again with my family.

wonderful vacation
Our family (two adults and two children) enjoyed very much our stay at this villa. We rented a car and each day visited a different place (mostly beaches), some of them based on owner's recommendations, we really liked all the recommended tavernas and beaches. Every morning we made lemonade with the lemons from the lemon trees from the backyard, and local honey, such a delicious treat, our best lemonades ever! The owner is extremely nice and responsive. He left for us so many goodies to enjoy during our stay. Overall the perfect vacation, we'll be back.

A perfect oasis
Stay here if you want a beautiful oasis of your own to come back to after exciting and varied days out in Western Crete. This villa is a charming manor house featuring a spacious main sitting room with high ceilings and huge glass doors looking at the sea across olive groves. The extensive and carefully tended garden is amazing and a walk around the villa grounds takes you beneath lemon, pear,fig trees and grapevines. We were 6-8 adults using the main house and the "guest house" adjoining. We spent many happy hours on the dining terrace outside,with its large open "window" wall, perfectly framing the sunset and the mountains beyond. Both the manager and the owner were kind and exceptionally helpful and provided a generous range of foods and local specialities for us. We were also given great tips about where to go - secret beaches and interesting historical sites. And after the trips it is so wonderful to come back to the quiet garden, the roses and the perfectly sized, clean pool. Everyone was full of praise for this villa and enjoyed their time immensely.

Great Villa
We spent two weeks at this villa and have only good things to say about it. The contacts (manager and owner) were available, friendly and helpful, they met us on arrival to give us a tour and subsequently sent us details of their local recommendations. There was fresh fruit and juice waiting for us on arrival as well as coffee. The house is spacious and well laid out with plenty of features (coffee machine, dishwasher, big telly and so on) as well as a nice layout. The best feature is the outside though. The pool is excellent. The various seating areas offer shade or sun depending on the time of day. There are grass lawns and grapes growing over the walkways, outdoor cooking and beautifully framed views of the sea and the hills. The location is good for trips to Chania, Rethymno etc. and also the western beaches. I would thoroughly recommend this villa.

Peaceful and beautiful
We needed this holiday so much, so when we arrived, we were welcomed so kindly, and given so much help, it couldn’t have been better. But it did get better, because the pool was one of the best we have ever had at a villa. It is so well filtered and clean we were amazed. No having to net it twice a day to get rid of bugs, and it is so big. There is a small pool that is safe for babies and toddlers too that is attached. The main house is enormous, and the granny annex is excellent too. Its well equipped for cooking. Coffee machines, and different gadgets in the cupboards for making smoothies. Excellent fridge’s and freezers There is an Apple TV, and a very large telly. The house was cleaned and we had our beds changed twice, (it would have been three times it we had liked). Cant think of anything bad at all. Beautiful places to visit in the mountains, and the tavernas were delicious.
