Villa Vigla
Stylos - Villa
Accommodation
Description
The owners, Stamatis & Despina, have meticulously preserved many original features whilst giving them a fresh contemporary twist. Thus thick stone walls are left unadorned; original decorative floor tiles see a second life as wall tiles in the kitchen; heavy beamed ceilings are painted white, basking the space below in light, whilst modern understated classic furnishings and fittings reinforce the Villa's status in the present day and proffer up to date comfort.
Location
The village itself, a peaceful backwater on the beautiful lower slopes of the White Mountains, attracts the occasional tourist to its taverna serving traditional home cooking and to those, ‘in the know’, who come to admire the stunning Byzantine Church of Agia Nikolaos nestling at the bottom of a neighbouring valley. Kept locked, it's Roussa and Kosta, Despina's parents who are the key holders and will be very happy to take guests at Villa Vigla on a guided tour of its beautiful 13th century frescoes. The Church’s location and artwork is widely considered to be amongst the most beautiful on the island.
From this rural idyll it is a mere 15 mins drive to the sandy beaches of Kalives via the slightly larger neighbouring village of Stylos which offers more by way of shopping and tavernas and if you take your water bottles you can fill them up at the source of the bottled water of the same name - for gratis.

A wonderful country villa that will make you to feel as being in your house! Peaceful and in the nature with a nice pool! Fully equipped kitchen ready for some traditional Cretan Cuisine dished to be made (or at least try to make them). Comfortable bedrooms, bathrooms, very clean! Neighbors will give you their fresh vegetables and eggs when they see you! Thank you very much for the accommodation. We had a very nice time there. The communication was instant and everything was very well organized. The complimentary goods where a very nice touch! I am very pleased with the team that handles the villa.

This villa is paradise on earth. Tricky to get to of you've lost the directions, but that's good as it on the hillside beneath the majestic White Mountains in a tiny little hamlet where peace reigns. So many treasured memories of this place. The beautiful house and the stunningly beautiful gardens which make you never want to leave here, the upstairs terrace as the sun falls casting pink light right across the mountains, the seclusion of the site, and Roussa the mother-in -law of the owner - her kindness and hospitality make you feel a part of the village, yet not in an intrusive way. So gracious, so warm. My only warning is that you literally will not want to leave.
