Phaistos villas, small scale luxury resort with 6 bedrooms and pool, south Crete

Phaistos villas is a complex of three independent stone-built villas, each given a name from Greek mythology: the Muse Erato and the Nymphs Dafne and Kastalia. The complex, situated at the foot of the village, offers a panoramic view of the Messara valley and the distinctive blue of the south Cretan sea in the distance.

This peaceful location can become your springboard for exploring the historical sites and places of unique beauty in the area. You can choose between staying in and relaxing around the pool, hopping off on a few minutes drive to the world famous archaeological site of Phaistos, or enjoying the wonderful golden-sand beaches of Matala and Kalamaki. The serenity of the environment, the dry and healthy climate of the area as well as the local food specialities guarantee an unforgettable stay.

The complex was constructed using authentic materials by local craftsmen following the traditional architecture of rural Crete in order to perfectly blend in with the environment and be an integral part of the settlement. The three villas were built in different levels offering independency, privacy and uninterrupted views of the surroundings. A lovely 40m2 pool of 1,5m depth situated in the center of the complex, can be enjoyed by guests of this small luxury resort.

The property has a TUV certification ISO 14001:2004 and is registered and approved by the Greek National tourist board (EOT).

Gortys is one of the most important historical towns in Crete with a history of 6,000 years and one of the most extensive archaeological sites in Greece. It was the site of the first human habitation of Crete at the end of the Neolithic period (5th millennium B.C.)
Every villa is spread over two levels. The top level has two stylish, high beam-ceilinged bedrooms and a large modern bathroom with shower facility. The muted colours add to the light, airy and relaxed atmosphere.

Stay at Phaistos Villas in Sivas, Crete
Our group of 10 loved our stay here - the 3 villas around 1 pool was a great set-up for our big party - villas very well equipped with all that we needed - owners very responsive and helpful. Although on the quieter Southern side of the island, Sivas has many lovely tavernas meaning no need to drive for most dinners. Nearby you have the local town of Matala for more touristy shopping and there are several supermarkets including a Lidl nearby for self-catering. And we can highly recommend the bakery on the way to Matala. Please note a car is essential for this villa.

Beau séjour pour un groupe d’amis
Situées à Sivas, dans la belle région de Matala, les trois villas Phaistos que notre groupe d'amis de neuf personnes a occupées pendant une semaine nous ont ravi. Aménagées avec beaucoup de goût et très bien équipées, chacune des trois villas est tournée vers les autres et vers la belle piscine centrale et terrasse commune. L'accueil de Panos a été très apprécié, comme sa disponibilité et sa réactivité en cas de question. Tel a aussi été le cas avec Georgos au moment de la réservation, mais aussi après celle-ci. Nous avons beaucoup aimé le petit village de Sivas, mais aussi celui de Pitsidias à quelques kilomètres, avec un grand nombre de tavernes, accueillantes et de meilleure qualité que celles de Matala. Sivas étant située à 7km des plages de Matala et 5km de celle de Kommos, il est nécessaire de disposer d'un véhicule, mais quel plaisir de sillonner cette belle région et de découvrir également le temple de Phaistos à 10 minutes de là ! En résumé, nous avons beaucoup apprécié ce séjour qui offre également la possibilité de belles balades dans les oliveraies entourant le village de Sivas: un plaisir que nous recommandons à tout amoureux de la Crète !
