Archon Villa: Cretan-Inspired Hospitality

Villa Archon is an elegant, stone-built residence that seamlessly blends two independent living units while functioning as a single, spacious villa. Nestled on a sloping hillside above Prodromi, it offers four air-conditioned bedrooms, three en-suite bathrooms with showers, and fully equipped kitchens on both levels. A lockable internal door provides complete privacy, making the villa ideal for one or two families, or small groups seeking both shared spaces and secluded corners. Guests reserving the main upper apartment (150 sqm) enjoy exclusive use of all exterior courtyards, verandas, gardens, and pool, with the lower flat closed off for privacy.

Main Floor:
Enter through a wooden door crowned by a stone arch into a 50 sqm living and dining area featuring authentic Cretan stone, old wood beams, and modern comfort. A traditional attic loft can serve as an office or extra bedroom upon request. The fully equipped kitchen sits just a step below, ready for home-cooked Greek meals. The master suite boasts a king-size stone-built bed, private bathroom, and balcony with panoramic valley views, while the second bedroom offers two handcrafted iron beds, its own bathroom, and French doors opening onto a tranquil courtyard.

Lower Level:
For larger groups or extra space, unlock the lower apartment at a reduced rate. This level includes a cozy living room and a compact, modern kitchen. ?he master suite welcomes you with a sumptuous king-size bed, while the air-conditioned second bedroom sleeps two on chic, industrial-style iron frames and opens through French doors onto a serene, furnished courtyard.
The bathroom, dressed in rustic country-chic décor, features a walk-in shower.
A private entrance leads into this lower-level haven, and a lockable internal staircase links it to the main villa—perfect for effortless access or complete seclusion.

Outdoor Areas & Verandas:
Spread across 1,000 sqm of terraced gardens and verandas, the villa offers a safe, fenced playground where kids can run, climb, and shout to their heart’s content. A brand-new swimming pool and dedicated children’s corner guarantee endless hours of fun, while shaded courtyards and herb-scented breezes invite adults to unwind. Ample protected parking sits within the grounds, and evening moments are painted by pastel-hued sunsets over the Libyan Sea, followed by star-studded skies serenaded by local owls.

Surrounding Area & Practical Notes
Perched 75 km from Chania Airport, Villa Archon rewards guests with unrivaled peace and a backdrop of wild, rolling landscapes. A car is highly recommended, as the remote location and terraced terrain—including internal stairs—may challenge those with limited mobility. Outdoor enthusiasts can step onto the nearby E4 trail from the village of Prodromi to explore dramatic gorges, secluded bays, and ancient frescoed chapels. From Sougia’s sandy shorelines to Elafonisi’s pink sands, the southwest Crete coastline unfolds as an eclectic haven for discovery and pure relaxation.
