The traditional past meets the modern present when you vacation in the exquisitely restored Villa Harmony 1885, nestled overlooking the North coast of the Greek island of Crete, set in the heart of the Aegean Sea. This unique residence was built in 1885 and was originally a merchant’s family summer holiday home, which has recently been lovingly transformed by his descendants, into the most luxurious three individual holiday accommodation spaces. The old stone buildings have retained their character and traditional architecture, which has been cleverly combined with modern technology, state-of-the-art appliances, and the most tasteful interior décor.

Villa Harmony 1885 has three beautifully-appointed bedrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to five guests, ideal for a small family holiday, or a group of friends’ sharing. The property is surrounded by well-manicured lawns and verdant gardens, populated with ancient olive trees, and blossoming flowers and shrubs in season. The villa comes complete with on-site parking spaces, complimentary air conditioning, and Wi-Fi throughout. The interiors are breathtakingly beautiful, the original stone walls contrast with modern glass staircases, high wood beamed ceilings are paired with parquet flooring, original furniture sits adjacent to hand-crafted contemporary pieces, chandeliers and mirrors reflect the light, antiques and artefacts add old school charm, whilst ancestral photographs adorn the walls. The décor is cool and tranquil, crisp, clean, and whites, with shades of grey predominating, to give the villa a sophisticated and elegant feel.

Villa Harmony 1885 comes with three equally impressive properties, to make the most stunning holiday home. In the courtyard, next to the entrance is an old iconic mulberry tree, which you will pass as you enter the main house. This two hundred-and-thirty-metre home has a spacious central living area, which has direct access to the courtyard, garden, and pool. The sitting room has a wicker and white cushioned sofa set, and antique furniture, there is a large dining area, and the adjacent fully equipped kitchen has all the modern appliances that you will need to cater for your holiday. The spacious villa of 230sqm. is divided into two levels. It consists of a master bedroom with a king size bed, a bedroom with a double bed and a bedroom with a single bed! It has two modern bathrooms on each level. An office area completes the accommodation.

In the courtyard, there is a dedicated children’s play area, with a playpen, kid’s facilities, a slide, and a ping pong table. The grounds and gardens are an absolute delight, impeccably maintained, with mature trees, and lush green lawns. The step-entry swimming pool is surrounded by steamer-style wood sun loungers with white cushions, and thatched umbrellas for shade. Swing seats and deckchairs are ideal for a lazy afternoon catching up with the latest best-seller. A dedicated children’s play area and a ping pong table provide amusement for your young ones. Wood table and chair dining sets are perfect for al fresco dining, with dishes freshly grilled on the barbeque. Meet on one of the terraces as dusk falls, and watch the famous sunsets, as you raise a toast to your Cretan holiday, it’s what memories are made of.

What Oliver loves...

  • We love a sunset, and they don’t get much better than from the terraces of the main house at Villa Harmony 1885, especially with a cocktail in hand
  • We love the exquisite interior design in all three properties that make up Villa Harmony 1885, the attention to detail, the original antiques and artefacts, and the tranquil colour scheme, are simply perfection
  • The grounds and garden at Villa Harmony 1885 are beautifully manicured, the ancient trees are perfectly pruned, the flowers and shrubs add colour in season, and the lush green lawns are lovely to lie on
  • Villa Harmony 1885 is ninety metres above sea level, which means you get great sea views, but the fifteen minute walk to the beach can be a bit steep

What you should know

  • The owners are the descendants of the property and have kindly allowed lots of the original antiques and artefacts to remain in the property, which they ask guests not to handle the ones in the main house living area
  • The sister villa - Residence Harmony - offers the option for larger groups
