Description

Welcome to Traditional Villas Askyfou, a unique mountain retreat on the beautiful Askyfou plateau in southern Crete. The property consists of two nearby villas — Villa Askyfou and Serenity Cave Villa — which can be booked either individually or together, making them ideal for couples, families, groups of friends, retreats, celebrations, and special events.

Built with respect for traditional Cretan architecture, both villas combine authentic stone-built design with modern comforts. Natural stone walls, warm interiors, and carefully curated details create an inviting atmosphere that reflects the rich heritage of the region. Guests can enjoy spacious living areas with working fireplaces, underfloor heating, soundproof windows, and fully equipped kitchens featuring Nespresso machines and all essential cookware. Comfortable extra-long beds ensure a restful stay after days spent exploring Crete's mountains and coastline.

Each villa offers its own private outdoor sanctuary where guests can relax and reconnect with nature. Swimming pools, furnished terraces, gardens, and barbecue facilities provide the perfect setting for outdoor living, while spectacular mountain views create a peaceful backdrop throughout the day. An outdoor hot tub adds an extra touch of luxury, allowing guests to unwind beneath the clear Cretan sky. Eco-conscious features, including solar-heated water systems, further enhance the property's commitment to sustainable hospitality.

The location of Traditional Villas Askyfou is perfect for travellers seeking an authentic Cretan experience away from the crowds. The impressive Imbros Gorge is just a short drive away, offering one of the island's most scenic hiking routes. The coastal villages of Sfakia invite visitors to discover crystal-clear waters, traditional tavernas, and untouched beaches, while the historic Venetian harbour of Chania can be reached in approximately one hour for cultural exploration, shopping, and waterfront dining. Horse riding, fishing, cycling, and windsurfing opportunities can also be found throughout the surrounding area.

Whether you choose the charming Villa Askyfou, the distinctive Serenity Cave Villa, or reserve both villas together for a larger gathering, Traditional Villas Askyfou offers a memorable escape where tradition, comfort, and the natural beauty of Crete come together in perfect harmony.

    The Villa has the most spectacular location. Tranquil and beautiful views. Nights spent stargazing and days swimming and watching eagles circling in the sky. Friendly and very welcoming hosts.
