About this property

Beautifully renovated stone house combines past and modern comforts all year. Contemporary décor blends harmoniously with natural stone and wood elements in an unparalleled ambiance of serenity and elegance. Hammocks and lounge chairs underneath grape vine pergola keep you serene and relaxed. Lemonia has 2 master bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a 3rd bedroom that can sleep 4 & indoor spa tub.

Nestled in a tranquil agricultural village (Koutsouras) on southeast Crete, the Lemonia villa offers a luxury hideaway next to a pebble beach and walking distance to everything. It features a large (3.5x4 meter) outdoor spa and patios, both sunny and shaded by grape wines and lemon tree. Its two master suites make villa Lemonia ideal for two families. The whole villa is ground level and handicapped accessible. A quiet pebble beach with bar/restaurants is less than 3 min walk away. A large sand beach is found 2 km away in the touristy village of Makry Gialos.

Breathtaking coasts, over 330 days of sunshine per year and a mild climate, are the elements that compose the unrivaled beauty of the natural environment of Southeast Crete - the area that the Minoans had chosen for recreation and relaxation can become your own destination that provides you with unforgettable experiences. Traditional Cretan villages, scenic bays and unique routes compose a really inimitable Mediterranean landscape.

We can coordinate excursions and tours, as well as airport pickups.

About the host

Hosted by Dora Angelaki

Hello! I am Dora!

I grew up in Crete and moved to the United States for graduate studies (I now live in New York). Growing up under the clear, star-lit skies of southeast Crete, I have always been captivated by the moon and the stars. In fact, my childish dream was to be an astro-physicist. Although I ended up becoming a neuroscience professor instead, I never forgot the wild beauty of my Cretan home. I have two passions: my research - I work to understand how the best machine (our brain) is built - and my love for this small corner of the world that combines beautiful weather year-around, spectacular beaches, mountainous wild beauty, with Cretan culture and cuisine.

From my job, I was given the opportunity to travel all over the world. As incredible as these adventures around the world were, I always found myself missing my home village. I always knew I would end up in this serene landscape.

Lemonia is the house I grew up in, built by my grandfather in 1935, but fully renovated in 2019. I love my home (the house, the village, the surrounding area and culture, the Crete island) very much, and now I want to share it with the rest of the world – you! I want to open my home to the people from Europe, the US and other faraway places who have opened their homes to me when I visited their countries.

As such, Welcome to my home! As your host, I will work to have you experience the best parts of this region: the warm culture, rich history, and breathtaking vistas. I hope you enjoy my home throughout all seasons as much as I love it – we are happy to share it with you in every way we can!
