A glorious 19th-century manor house with a beautiful private pool

Villa Antigoni is an ideal house rental for a large family or a group of friends, ideally with children, that can even spend memorable times in the special tree house or at the protected part of the pool.
The Villa is a masterpiece of style combining rustic charm with interior chic.The garden filled with flowers and various trees and a hippy-deluxe house with dashes of Parisian style. The vegetation all around the villa is like a virgin forest, forming a natural barrier between your poetic world and an all-too-present reality. Life at this house revolves around the terraces and the pool.
This holiday home stands like an ancient fort among the old olive and orange trees. The color of the exterior stucco was taken directly from the land surrounding the house. The extended vine covered pergola on the stone pavement in front of the property is the perfect venue for long lunches after a morning by the infinity pool where there is yet another pergola as well as a traditional wooden oven and barbeque.
This impressive property is situated five-ten minutes from the endless north coastline of the island and the famous retreat of Platanias with all amenities you may need.
Beautifully renovated, stylish and sophisticated, the house has 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms in the main building and an independent guest house that holds one more bedroom one bathroom, living room and kitchen.
This beautiful villa is generously furnished with handsome antiques as well as comfortable and classic modern seating, beautiful paintings, sculpture and decorations throughout. High ceilings with rhythmic wood beams give definition to the large open-plan living spaces, which flow together and the glass facade allows the quests to enjoy the landscape and also enables natural light to flood into the interior. Rooms take on a monastic simplicity, and invite repose and quietness while enjoying magnificent views of the immediate landscape and the sea.
The main house ground floor living, dining, and kitchen areas were combined in a single, long room on the ground floor that takes advantage of the spectacular view of the sea. The wooden beams are a recurring element throughout most of the house, running along the length of the ceiling; they represent an attempt to keep in touch with tradition.

Great stay
Villa and everything about the property is as you can see on photos. House is huge, 3 bedrooms, big living room, kitchen is on the small side but has everything. We didn't even go into the pool house but I believe people can sleep there as well. Terrace outside with the garden is really nice and spacious. Pool is fantastic and clean. Manolis (the manager) was great, he welcomed us at the house, gave us a few tips and was ready to help whenever needed. Location of the house is in a tiny village, it's surrounded with houses of local people but they keep to themselves and don't bother you with anything. Having a car is almost a must because the closest store is 5min drive away down the hill. All in all, great experience and we'll be coming back.

Lovely house with terrific view
3 generations of our family stayed at the villa and we all enjoyed it very much. The property owner left us a generous selection of fruit, juice and wine. The pool is excellent, our nearly 4 year old grandson’s swimming improved a lot during our stay. It’s a very spacious house with a lovely garden.

Ten Day Much Needed Family Holiday
This property is fantastic. The whole ten days exceeded our expectations and we could not believe our luck. Much of the holiday was spent just lounging around the pool and enjoying meals together at the villa. The manager Manolis was on hand if needed and his laid back, friendly manner added to the whole experience. I would definitely come back again with my family.

wonderful vacation
Our family (two adults and two children) enjoyed very much our stay at this villa. We rented a car and each day visited a different place (mostly beaches), some of them based on owner's recommendations, we really liked all the recommended tavernas and beaches. Every morning we made lemonade with the lemons from the lemon trees from the backyard, and local honey, such a delicious treat, our best lemonades ever! The owner is extremely nice and responsive. He left for us so many goodies to enjoy during our stay. Overall the perfect vacation, we'll be back.

A perfect oasis
Stay here if you want a beautiful oasis of your own to come back to after exciting and varied days out in Western Crete. This villa is a charming manor house featuring a spacious main sitting room with high ceilings and huge glass doors looking at the sea across olive groves. The extensive and carefully tended garden is amazing and a walk around the villa grounds takes you beneath lemon, pear,fig trees and grapevines. We were 6-8 adults using the main house and the "guest house" adjoining. We spent many happy hours on the dining terrace outside,with its large open "window" wall, perfectly framing the sunset and the mountains beyond. Both the manager and the owner were kind and exceptionally helpful and provided a generous range of foods and local specialities for us. We were also given great tips about where to go - secret beaches and interesting historical sites. And after the trips it is so wonderful to come back to the quiet garden, the roses and the perfectly sized, clean pool. Everyone was full of praise for this villa and enjoyed their time immensely.

Great Villa
We spent two weeks at this villa and have only good things to say about it. The contacts (manager and owner) were available, friendly and helpful, they met us on arrival to give us a tour and subsequently sent us details of their local recommendations. There was fresh fruit and juice waiting for us on arrival as well as coffee. The house is spacious and well laid out with plenty of features (coffee machine, dishwasher, big telly and so on) as well as a nice layout. The best feature is the outside though. The pool is excellent. The various seating areas offer shade or sun depending on the time of day. There are grass lawns and grapes growing over the walkways, outdoor cooking and beautifully framed views of the sea and the hills. The location is good for trips to Chania, Rethymno etc. and also the western beaches. I would thoroughly recommend this villa.

Peaceful and beautiful
We needed this holiday so much, so when we arrived, we were welcomed so kindly, and given so much help, it couldn’t have been better. But it did get better, because the pool was one of the best we have ever had at a villa. It is so well filtered and clean we were amazed. No having to net it twice a day to get rid of bugs, and it is so big. There is a small pool that is safe for babies and toddlers too that is attached. The main house is enormous, and the granny annex is excellent too. Its well equipped for cooking. Coffee machines, and different gadgets in the cupboards for making smoothies. Excellent fridge’s and freezers There is an Apple TV, and a very large telly. The house was cleaned and we had our beds changed twice, (it would have been three times it we had liked). Cant think of anything bad at all. Beautiful places to visit in the mountains, and the tavernas were delicious.

Amazing family home full of character features at historic village with breathtaking views.
Less than 20’ from the dream pretty town of Chania, a magnificent 19th century villa wins you over with the owners’ attention to detail. Pristine, fully equipped kitchen, often cleaned swimming pool with kids’ section, comfy beds and pillows with crispy bedding , bbq that comes with charcoals and breathtaking views of the sunset make this property ideal for relaxing holidays for families or large groups. From its location on the hillside of the historic village Kontomari, to the exposed beams of the ceiling of the main house, from the grapes hanging from the patio to the jasmine perfuming the extra large veranda, the property offers a unique opportunity of submerging yourself in the myth that is Crete, a stone throw’s away from buzzing Platanias and all amenities.

This is the best villa that we could have rented. Heaven!
The photos do not do justice to this Villa. The lay out is perfect with many areas to relax and enjoy. These areas offer shade at different times of the day. It is a perfect place for a big family or families sharing. The views over the sea are amazing. The pool was well maintained and the gardens well looked after. The house was very clean and the rooms and spaces very comfortable with air conditioning to keep you comfortable in 35 degree heat. The hospitality was exceptional down to guiding us to the villa at the beginning, finding out about what we wanted of our holiday and then putting together information on restaurants, great beaches to go to and lots of other valuable information. We made pizza in the outside oven which the kids loved. The location was great with a car as you could go to the east south or west as it was near to the national road. Manolis and Costas thank you so much for making our holiday an exceptional holiday. Forget hiring a villa on the beach with all the other tourists. Hire this villa. I can't speak highly enough about the team that look after it and the villa itself.

This is an excellent, elegant Crete property located in a small village. Although the village, Kontomari, has no services, it is no more than 7 minutes to the nearest grocery stores, beach, taverna,gas station, etcl. The house is secluded and quiet, containing 3 bedrooms and 2 baths in the main house and another bedroom and living room for 3 more visitors in the "pool house". The owners are meticulous in the upkeep and cleanliness of the property and it is well equipped with kitchen equipment. The house is also air conditioned although Crete is not as hot as we thought it would be. The pool is huge for a private house and even though we were there for only 12 days, the owners had the cleaning team come twice during out stay. The owners are very generous hosts; they left us fruit, honey, local oil and raki and almost anything else you could think of on vacation. They also guided us in what to do and see and where to eat out. We wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who wants a large, quiet, elegant house in Western Crete.

Einfach nur Wunderschön mit wunderschönem Ausblick
Der Aufenthalt war ein Traum. Wir wurden zu Beginn herzlich empfangen und in der wunderschönen Villa standen Begrüßungsgeschenke, 2 Obstaschalen, Olivenoil, Kaffee, Gemüse, Eier und vieles mehr. Man musste so ziemlich gar nichts mehr einkaufen. Der vorhandene Haarfön war defekt. Direkt am nächsten Tag wurde uns ein nagelneuer Fön vorbeigebracht. Die Aussicht ist klasse und man hat Blick aufs Meer. Drumherum Olivenbäume und Orangenbäume. Die Villa liegt in einem ruhigen Dorf, somit ist eine Entspannung garantiert. Nach chania brauchte man nur 20 Minuten. Der Pool ist sehr schön und die Anlage ist sehr groß und sehr gepflegt. Um unser Wohl würde excellent gesorgt. Gastfreundlichkeit von Manos und Kostas stand ganz oben. Danke für alles. Wir werden wiederkommen!!

Wundervolles Haus, für Familien sehr gut geeignet
Wir sind 2 Familien mit Kindern zwischen 2 & 5 Jahren, haben 3 Wochen in diesem Haus verbracht und uns richtig wohl gefühlt. Der Pool sucht seinesgleichen und das Haus ist sowohl im Innen- als auch im Außenbereich sehr großzügig angelegt, so dass die Kinder viel Platz zum Spielen hatten. Es ist nicht das modernste eingerichtete Haus, aber sehr gemütlich, sauber und gut instandgehalten. Der Strand und die nächste Ortschaft (Maleme) sind schnell zu erreichen - ein Auto ist allerdings unbedingt erforderlich. Wir können das Haus uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Une villa magnifique
La propriété est juste magnifique. On y a séjourné en été donc on a beaucoup plus profité des extérieurs de la maison qui sont vraiment bien fait. Barbecue, piscine adapté aux enfants, vue splendide, hamac, balancelle et au calme. Il faudrait peut être rajouter une table extérieur plus grande, car l'actuel est pour 4 personnes nous on été 4 donc ça allé mais pour des groupes plus grand s'est dommage, surtout que la terrasse est très grande. Les propriétaires nous ont à chaque fois répondu très rapidement quand nous avions des questions et sont très accueillants. Ils nous avaient envoyé par mail un petit guide de choses à faire dans les alentours très pratique. Par contre il faut forcement avoir une voiture car vous ne pouvez rien faire à pied. A proximité (en voiture) grand supermarché et nous sommes allés plusieurs fois sur Platanias qui a de bons restaurants. Et après pour les spots D'Élafonissi et Balos Beach il faut compter 1h15 au départ de la maison. On est resté 1 semaine là bas et pendant notre séjour le ménage a été fait donc très appréciable. Pour résumé : villa superbe et idéalement situé et propriétaires très sympa et disponible. Vous pouvez réserver sans problème.

Sehr schönes Herrenhaus zum Wohlfühlen
Wir waren mit der ganzen Familie (6Erw. 2Kinder (3+6) ) für 12 Tage in der Unterkunft. Das Haus ist wirklich sehr, sehr schön. Der Besitzer legt sehr viel Wert darauf, dass man sich dort wohlfühlt. Man darf sich jederzeit bei ihm melden falls man Anliegen hat. Ein Bsp.: Die Matratzen waren anfangs so schlecht (man merkte jede Feder), dass ich bat uns neue zu besorgen. Das war gar kein Problem schon am nächsten Tag wurden die Neuen geliefert! Zur Begrüßung stand frisches Obst auf dem Tisch und Wein und Raki waren im Kühlschrank. Der Gärtner kommt alle 2,3 Tage reinigt den Pool und bringt den Garten in Ordnung. In den 12 Tagen war 2 mal eine Reinigungs - Crew da. Diese brachten frische Handtücher, bezog die Betten frisch und machte alles sauber. Die Reinigungs Crew kommt mit Vorankündigung (meist 1 Tag im Voraus) und braucht ca 2-3 std. Der Pool ist riesig und an der tiefsten Stelle sogar 3 m. Es gibt ein Kinderbecken, was natürlich perfekt für meine Nichte und meinen Neffen war. Es war ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt in Kontamari und wir empfehlen dieses Anwesen mit gutem Gewissen weiter!

Beautiful home and even better outside area
We spent a week at this property. They were very accommodating and let us check-in early at 11:30 am. Both the property owner and the property manager greeted us and showed us around. They had stocked the kitchen with snacks, fresh fruit and bottles of wine and also had fresh milk and juice in the fridge. The main house has an open space kitchen, dining and living room that overlooks a beautiful garden with a view of the sea in the background. On the ground floor there was a full bathroom and a huge master bedroom with a walk in closet. On the second floor was another master bedroom, a bedroom with 2 single beds and a half bath. There was a guest house that had a small living area (with single bed), a small kitchen, a master bedroom and a full bathroom (although the shower was not enclosed so we didn't use it or we would have flooded the whole bathroom). This property is perfect for 2 or 3 families. The outside pool area was incredible. You can eat right by the pool and there were 2 outside barbecue areas.This property is about an hour away from the very popular beaches. We really loved this villa. It would be perfect if they can find a way to add another enclosed shower to one of the bathrooms.

Bella casa e ottima posizione.
A pochi minuti d’auto dal mare e da supermercati e taverne varie, è in collina in mezzo al verde di agrumeti nella più assoluta tranquillità (se non si considera il gallo....). Giardino esterno bello e curato con spaziosa piscina patio attrezzato con tavolo due zone bbq amaca lettini etc. Interno imponente con ampi spazi zona notte su due livelli : al piano terra grande camera matrimoniale con cabina armadio e bagno adiacente con doccia , al piano superiore a cui si accede con scala e balconata sulla sala due camere da letto una matrimoniale e una a due letti con un bagno senza doccia e senza acqua calda. Al piano terra cucina ben accessoriata e confortevole salotto con TV satellitare. Arredamento un po’ datato con alcune cose pregevoli. Di fianco alla piscina c’è una casetta (guest house) con camera da letto matrimoniale e divano letto in tinello cucina. Cucina con frigo ma con fornelli non funzionanti (solo un fornelletto elettrico per una caffettiera...) bagno con lavatrice e doccino senza box o tenda. Arredamento approssimativo. Due buone pulizie con cambio lenzuoli e asciugamani in 10 giorni. In sintesi una bella casa con alcune pecche che possono causare fastidio se come noi 5 persone si trovano a condividere un solo box doccia. Per il resto buona accoglienza con welcome frutta vino. Proprietario disponibile e cortese. La zona occidentale di Creta ha alcune belle spiagge raggiungibili con almeno una ora di auto. Sconsigliamo la spiaggia di Balos con annessa laguna a chi ha una certa età e non è allenato a scalate pesanti. La scelta di usare battelli per arrivare via mare è altrettanto sconsigliata e costosa. Consigliamo il pescivendolo di Maleme che ha pesce fresco tutti i giorni e ha pure un buon ristorante a Kolympari che si chiama Argentina. Per la visita a Knossos ci vuole un giorno considerando che dalla villa ci sono due ore e mezzo di auto per arrivarci. Per finire un consiglio per la proprietà: fare una doccia esterna adeguatamente protetta e mettere boiler o similari nel bagno al primo piano. In tal modo Villa Antigoni diventerebbe veramente un soggiorno eccellente
