About the host
Hosted by Thor-Kjetil Foerli
Norwegian, born in 1963. Married, 2 children, 3 grandchildren. Love Greece in general, Crete in particular. My hobbies are skiing, bicycling, hiking and cooking.
Why they chose this property
After traveling around the world all our life, my wife and I found this place and we fell in love immediately. The beautiful surroundings give peace to mind and the property is big enough for all our beloved children and grandchildren.
What makes this property unique
The benefit of Villa Mathea is the privacy you can find here, despite being close to almost all amenities. Separate annex/guesthouse can be used for your own staff if needed, or the teenagers will love a house for themselves. Because of the generous size of the outdoor and indoor area, it will never feel crowded. The swimming pool is heated on demand.
