About this property

Κατά το σχεδιασμό και την κατασκευή της βίλας εφαρμόσαμε αρχές οικολογικού σχεδιασμού για την ελαχιστοποίηση των ενεργειακών αναγκών του σπιτιού και την εξασφάλιση της άνεσης με παθητικούς τρόπους. Με αυτό τον τρόπο κατασκευάσαμε ένα σπίτι που ικανοποιεί τις απαιτήσεις των επισκεπτών και τις καθημερινές ανάγκες, παρέχοντας: Την ενσωμάτωση του κτιρίου στο περιβάλλον του. Η θερμική λουτρό άνεσης το καλοκαίρι και το χειμώνα. Η ψύξη της βίλας (χωρίς κλιματισμό), θέρμανση και ζεστό νερό. Τέλος, εξαιρετικές συνθήκες φυσικού φωτισμού. Η βίλα είναι 186μ², χτισμένη με εσωτερική σκάλα. Στον επάνω όροφο υπάρχουν τρία υπνοδωμάτια με διπλά και μονά κρεβάτια, μπάνια και ευρύχωρες βεράντες με θέα στο απέραντο πράσινο που εκτείνεται στις κορυφές των Λευκών Ορέων.(Λευκά Όρη). Στο ισόγειο υπάρχει ένα ευρύχωρο καθιστικό με δορυφορική τηλεόραση, τζάκι και άνετο καναπέ. Καλά οργανωμένη κουζίνα, σε συνδυασμό με μια άνετη τραπεζαρία. Όλα τα υπνοδωμάτια είναι εξοπλισμένα με στρώματα Coco-mat και σεντόνια.

Τοποθεσία - Εκδρομές: Η Κατική Γωνιά βρίσκεται μόλις 8χλμ. Από το Ρέθυμνο, στο χωριό Γωνιά. Το πράσινο τοπίο περιβάλλει το σπίτι και η θέα προς τα βουνά της νότιας και δυτικής Κρήτης είναι εξαιρετική. Το περιβάλλον είναι ιδανικό για πεζοπορία σε φαράγγια άγριας ομορφιάς, πράσινα μονοπάτια και κατά μήκος γοητευτικών ρευμάτων. Οι εύφοροι ελαιώνες και οι αμπελώνες προσφέρουν μια μεγάλη διαδρομή για το τρέξιμό σας, την ποδηλασία και τις σύντομες πεζοπορίες σας. Στη γύρω περιοχή υπάρχουν φιλόξενα μικρά χωριά όπου θα μπορείτε να δοκιμάσετε τη διάσημη κρητική φιλοξενία των φιλικών ανθρώπων του τόπου. Ένα φλιτζάνι καφέ κάτω από μια μουριά μαζί με τους ανθρώπους του χωριού, ή η ανάγνωση του βιβλίου σας θα είναι εικόνες που επιστρέφουν σε σας μετά τις διακοπές σας. Οι βόρειες παραλίες απέχουν μόνο δεκαπέντε λεπτά με το αυτοκίνητο, ενώ οι εξωτικές νότιες παραλίες είναι τριάντα λεπτά με το αυτοκίνητο, έτσι οι επισκέπτες είναι χαλασμένοι για επιλογή!

Ιδιόκτητη παραδοσιακή ταβέρνα: Στην παραδοσιακή ταβέρνα μας, μόλις λίγα μέτρα από την βίλα, θα έχετε την ευκαιρία να δοκιμάσετε την παραδοσιακή κρητική κουζίνα με τον τρόπο που μόνο η «μητέρα μας» ξέρει να μαγειρεύει.

Fantastic autmun break at Villa Gonia

Marianna and Nikos were the perfect hosts and the property was perfect for a late autumn break. The villa is very spacious with all the amenities a visiting family could need and is very well placed for exploring the island being near to Rethymno and with the south coast beaches and mountains easily accessible. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful Villa in Beautiful Crete

We stayed for 2 weeks in this beautiful villa. Very clean, amazing pool and everything you need to really enjoy your holiday . These renters have made sure it’s like home and have everything from coffee machine to toastie maker !! Great location for exploring Crete. What was outstanding was the communication with Marianna , thoughtful, very kind and always happy to help. Her local taverna is a very short walk away and food just amazing !!

Amazing!!!

We have just arrived back from a gorgeous week, as 2 families there was plenty of space, the set up of the villa is perfect as you can see the children from all angles. Mariana is absolutely wonderful and completes the stay, met us on arrival and then answered all of our questions and guided us all week. They also own the incredible taverna at the bottom of the road, which is truly delicious!! Along with the mini market too, there is everything you need. we absolutely loved that it wasn’t touristy and we were staying amongst the locals and out of the way but everything was there. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be going back, my family is already excited to book from hearing about our holiday! Thank you again Mariana ♥️
