A wonderful experience
Ideally situated in the hills in the centre of Crete, the village a short walk away with enough facilities and excellent tavernas to keep you happy for a good while. The Villa is very well provisioned and really lovely walks from the front door. You do need a car to reach Chania, Rethymnon and Iraklion and the beaches to the south, but they are easily accessible and the views en route are breathtaking. I could not recommend the villa or location highly enough.

About the host

Host profile image
I am a retired bank iT Was a representing and grateful work that did not suit my personality at all. With my departure, I began to deal with tourism, painting, photography, theater and whatever else makes me a better person. I have an organized villa with private pool in my village ASKIFOU SFAKIA called villa Galatia. From 2012 I deal with the object of renting a home in tourism. I l love travelling and know people and different cultures.
I have great respect for your personal life, your relaxation and privacy, but at the same time I am always happy and available to answer your every question and guide you in whatever way you may choose to do in order for you to enjoy your vacation. Feel free to ask me for advice on beaches, restaurants, etc.

Why they chose this property

This property was renovated from my monther in the memory of her beloved mother Galatia who was from this Village. Every furniture and item in this house ages many many years back and she waited this house to be completed so as i restore them and put them with love and respect in the place that they deserve to be. She have been working as a bank mamager for 33 years and now she decided to get off the game. She like voluntarIsm,and she is an active member of the red cross.
My aim is that every one of our visitors experiences a unique stay acompanied by Cretan tradition,hospitality and comfort in way that this stay will turn into an unforgetable memory.

What makes this property unique

A few words about the name of our villa.

In ancient times there were four GALATEAS.
- Galatea, the fairest of the Nereids (sea nymphs)
- Galatea, the Cretan girl from Festos
- Galatea, the Cypriot girl with whom the King of Pafos fell in love, and
- Galatea, the one favoured by Dionysus, the god of wine.

Our Galatea has inherited the beauty of the first, the fortitude of the second, the elegant poise of the third, and the artistry of the last.

Villa Galatia has no season. It is there year round to tame the winter and adorn it with warmth, to cool the heat of the summer and to join the moments of spring with those of autumn, thus calming the restlessness of time.

Villa Galatia stands proudly at the top of the hill dreamily observing the bright-green plain that lies beneath her.

The vast sky sheds its light upon her from above and the breeze gracefully wraps itself around her stony hair, whispering to her how special she is!
