This 200-year-old village house has been meticulously restored to maintain its original charm while meeting modern needs. With a swimming pool, sun terrace, BBQ area, and covered dining space surrounded by olive trees and citrus groves. ## Reviews 9.2 Wonderful ### Entire home 1 bedroom2 bathroomsSleeps 51130 sq ft ## Popular amenities - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning - Outdoor Space - Barbecue grill ## Add dates for prices Check-in Check-out Travellers ## About this property ### Entire place You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party. ### Villa Vigla The restoration of this delightful village house has successfully metamorphosed a 200 year old village house into a cool and mellow holiday Villa bursting with original features whilst more than adequately meeting the needs of today's holidaymaker. 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.

The house is absolutely beautiful, retaining it's original character and very tastefully renovated with everything you could need. The pool is lovely and is very relaxing. I think it would help if the listing made it more clear that the road to the house has lots of precipitous hair pin bends, which may not suit everybody. I would absolutely recommend staying here if you are happy to drive. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2023 From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Owen Jul 3, 2023 #### Superb mountain retreat Be aware that the Eagles Nest is only open at weekends and that the Lemon Tree , 2Kms away is also open. ##### Owen From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Sara Oct 12, 2023 #### Beautifully restored traditional village house in hill top village Lovely house, well designed and equipped. A little trimming of the vegetation in late summer would improve the amount of sun the pool area gets in late summer months A few more mosquito repelling solutions e.g citronella candles as the mossies do like the shaded seating area I think previous visitors may have let the local cats inside as the sofas upstairs need de fleaing! ##### Sara From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### nicole Oct 25, 2024 #### Paradise The villa, the views, the peace and the pool, the home from home feel and the service that the owner provided and communication with Freelance This is going to sound very picky…. A better fridge as at times the fridge barely kept things cold ( when it had a lot in it) and maybe a dishwasher …. Although space is probably the issue here . This is being super critical and neither of these impacted on our holiday they are just suggestions ##### nicole Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### eric w.

Jun 8, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Schöne Unterkunft Das Haus ist sehr schön renoviert und eingerichtet. Der Garten und Pool sind wunderschön angelegt und top gepflegt, mit idyllischen Sitzplätzen draußen. Insgesamt sehr ruhig gelegen mit toller Aussicht auf das Meer (vorne vom Pool) und in die Berge (von der Terrasse). Die Lage hat uns gut gefallen, aber man muss sich bewusst sein dass das Haus ziemlich weit abgelegen ist und man viele teils enge Serpentinen fahren muss um es zu erreichen. Für uns leider ein Minuspunkt: im Haus war es oberflächlich sauber und aufgeräumt, aber beim näheren Hinschauen sind recht viele Dinge aufgefallen die nicht richtig sauber waren (Kaffeemaschine, Dunstabzug, generell das Geschirr in der Küche, Zahnputzbecher, etc). Was uns leider auch gestört hat, war dass es, außer im Bad, keinerlei Fliegengitter gab. Sehr schade, da es recht viele Schnaken gab und man dadurch die Fenster/Türen abends geschlossen halten musste. Dennoch eine sehr schöne, empfehlenswerte Unterkunft für Ruhesuchende. ##### Alexandra I. Stayed 6 nights in May 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica F. Oct 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Traumhafte Ferien Das Haus liegt in einem kleinen Bergdorf, dennoch hat man absolute Privatsphäre. Der Garten ist ein absoluter Traum mit wundervollen Baumen und Blumen, wir konnten uns Granatäpfel direkt von den Bäumen holen. Auch der Poolbereich ist sehr schön, allerdings im Oktober schon eher schattig. Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt und hübsch eingerichtet, es ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Und die Betten sind sehr gemütlich. Bezaubernd war auch die Katzengang, die uns gelegentlich besucht hat. In der Nähe befinden sich zwei Tavernen, so dass man nicht weit fahren muss, wenn man zu faul zum kochen ist. Sollte es ein Problem vor Ort geben (wir hatten uns versehentlich ausgesperrt) ist Hilfe nicht weit, die Mutter einer der Eigentümerinnen wohnt im Ort und kam uns sofort zur Hilfe. Roussa war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten dort eine wundervolle Woche und werden sehr gerne wieder kommen, wenn wir nochmal nach Kreta fahren. ##### Jessica F. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2022
