Overview

Pool Villa/House Walk to Village

Nestled amidst the serene beauty of Epáno Kefalás, overlooking the azure embrace of the sea, Villa Karib beckons you to embark on a holiday of unparalleled comfort and charm. This three-storey haven, boasting a panoramic sea view, stands as a testament to both contemporary luxury and timeless Cretan heritage.

As you step inside, you are enveloped by a seamless blend of modern amenities and echoes of the past. The ground floor welcomes you with a spacious living area, a kitchen brimming with culinary delights waiting to be crafted, and a convenient WC. Wander further, and you will discover the whispers of history in every corner—arches that have stood the test of time, stone walls imbued with stories, and the layout reminiscent of traditional Cretan mansions.

Ascend to the first level, where two sumptuous bedrooms await, each adorned with an ensuite bathroom, offering privacy and indulgence. The true allure lies atop, in the attic, where two single beds nestled beneath a wooden roof await weary souls seeking solace. Here, a quaint desk sits by the window, offering a mesmerising vista of the boundless sea—a perfect spot for reflection and inspiration.

Stepping outside, the villa unveils its true splendour—a picturesque panorama that stretches as far as the eye can see. The expansive grounds, adorned with local flora, invite you to lose yourself in nature's embrace. Explore the echoes of the past—the old well, the stony tank once brimming with golden olive oil, and the ancient threshing floor, where stories were woven over meals and drinks.

Beyond the villa's walls lies the heart of Kefalas—a village frozen in time yet pulsating with life. Wander through cobbled streets adorned with old-world cafes, where time slows to a gentle rhythm. Sample the rich flavours of traditional tavernas, stocked with culinary treasures passed down through generations. Immerse yourself in the warmth of local hospitality, where every corner tells a tale of family heritage spanning over a century.

At Villa Karib, every moment is a celebration of the past, a tribute to the present, and a promise of unforgettable memories. Experience the essence of Cretan hospitality—a journey not just through space, but through time itself.
