Dear guests, we are not charging you with cleaning fees. Therefore please make sure that we will not need to pay a huge fee ourselves and a ....lifetime to prepare the house for our next guests!

Why they chose this property
Lefkogia village is a small, still very authentic cretan village, located in south Rethymno, near Plakias that used to be a vivid fishermens village, but nowadays turns rapidly into a vivid touristic spot without having lost its original charm.
It is ideal for families or for people who want to retreat from the hustle and buffle of the hot touristic spots, yet maintaining the ability to be a part of it whenever they wish to.
Lefkogia's most surprising feature is that even though being surrounded by a faschinating mountain scenery, it is actually only a breath away from 4 (out of the numerous beaches that follow one another forming the very interesting south coastline), magnifiscent beaches.
Among the highlights of our area is the nearby majestic Kourtaliotis gorge, a gorge full of surprises that worth to be explored, and very well known for its wild beauty.
The palm beach of Prevelis follows as yet another interesting spot worth being visited and is in a distance of 8 km. from the village.
The restaurants of our region that have taken their dishes to the very next level offering delicious food at ...pretty reasonable prices!
The nearby proffessional equestrian club that offers horse-riding lessons and also horse-riding excursions.
The small churches up on the hills offering exquisite views on the slopes that end to the coastline.
Last but not least, our 20.000 sq.m. farm with a mini zoo, consisted of our 2 friendly horses, Maya and Whiskey, hens, geese, rabbits, a pig, a cow (ocassionally), cats and a dog, all fenced in their own grounds. The farm is not open to the public, instead it is accessible only to our guests at Villa 5 Anemoi or the people who make a reservation at our holiday rentals situated on the location in order to preserve our guests' feeling of privacy and relaxation.

What makes this property unique
What makes villa 5 Anemoi special is the fact that it is not just another traditional rustic house but an authentically old house, preserved as it used to actually be in the previous century. Its furnishing and decoration were very carefully picked so that they would enhance its antiquity. It breaths a unique ambience! The small bedroom of the upper floor but also the one on the ground floor ressemble to monastery cells. The dining area ressembles to a room of an old castle. Back in time people kept on adding rooms to their houses in order to fulfill their ongoing needs as their families were welcoming new members. That is what happened with villa 5 Anemoi until it ended up being a house that looks like a tiny village in its entirety. Villa 5 Anemoi is the house of our heart. Its quirqy construction and its scenical ambience consists it a house that it is simply impossible not to fall in love with!
